Some of the stuff describe in the spelunking journal is insane, like “okay, we’ll rappel down this giant cliff, then there’s a pond at the bottom, so we brought our scuba gear…” Cool to hear there’s videos out there! I had never thought to look for some reason. When I went caving (around 2005), it was a 9 hour journey and my digital camera died on the 2nd photo, which sucked.
It is pretty awesome, really. Definitely adventurous. I’m sure for people brave, fit and unwise to enough to do it, that’s an amazing experience. People do it under the ocean too. The problem is being hours down in a cave that can only be accessed by experts at rock climbing and scuba diving is just about the most remote location possible.

… I’m split between being absolutely terrified of getting stuck, and thinking what you’re describing sounds awesome
