scuba is waaay less dangerous. if your shit fails you can surface (depending on depth of course) the bends aint fun

I think they meant cave diving. Spelunking, but underwater. Incredibly dangerous.

But scuba spelunking gives you the worst of both. Easy to get lost, easy to get stuck especially because you have a big tank on your back, if you let silt kick up its easy to get turned around and lost in the cave, and of course you also have a limited air supply.

At least you die faster. If I was in the position of the guy in the picture underwater I would just spit out my regulator.

Also if you have the tanks on your side and you never take them off to go through a hole you can be pretty sure that you can go through anything back if your remove them. Siphons tho, that's a different story
