Hello everyone and welcome back to Scarey Interesting and to another edition of Cave Exploring Gone Wrong.

In this video, we're going over two disturbing cave diving incidents that feature everything that make cave diving terrifying.

The passages are long winding corridors, the restrictions are claustrophobia-inducing, and

Only roughly 2.5 miles or 4,000 meters of an ebb and map so far, but that doesn't
