@tilscience: Why did they dive so deep?? The more info that comes out, the more puzzling this case gets Waiting for the dive data to come back to see what exactly happened or caused them to go into this cave without the proper gear #scubadiving #underwater #maldives #diving
I feel like the question is less "what went wrong in the cave" and more "why would experienced divers ever do this with recreational equipment"?

Something I don’t see anyone mentioning is that they were not on a research vessel. They were on the Duke of York, a 36m luxury liveaboard yacht with around 20 other passengers who were there on vacation. The yacht has a boutique, bar, and restaurant and is around $3,500 per person for 7 days. University funded research isn’t paying for you to stay on a yacht.

As a diver, you could have 20,000 dives but if it’s at shallower depths or less technical-then you have the equivalent of zero dives. Just because you’ve driven a car 1000 times doesn’t mean you can fly a plane.

the thing i keep hearing is “experienced divers” bro this is cave diving. is different to diving with the fish. 20 years of diving won’t prep you for cave diving.

Venturi effect sounds more likely. These people had over 100 dives each. Nitrogen narcosis and the proper tech gear should have been tested for

They weren’t certified for CAVE DIVING which is a completely different class of SCUBA.

She was warned by the locals to have someone who knew the caves with her. She was asked to respect that and she believed that her knowledge was somehow applicable everywhere. What she did was the equivalent of “I hike all the time, I could probably do Everest”. Her arrogance killed her.

Diving without a guide line in a cave you have never been in is like free solo climbing a mountain you’ve never climbed before

Can you confirm if they were experienced OPEN WATER divers or CAVE divers! They are diff certifications and diff equipment. I heard they were only open water certified and hadn’t cave dived before
