    Default "the cave" movie mistakes

    I found this website and thought you guys might have some fun with it. I know there are some diver on this site who were in the movie who were told do dive a certain way with certain gear. You can add your own mistakes tot he movie.

    The "Making of" portion of the movie is pretty good, blows the actual movie out of the water It was conveniently on the table of one of the trailers you can rent in cave country, made for a good drunken laugh after a day of cave diving.
    Ever surprised by the amount of holes involved in cave diving.

    Somebody criticized a character for turning on the gas without holding the lens of the spg away from his face. They said every diver knows not to do that.

    Duh, this hasn't been necessary for about thirty years.

    I still do that, even though I've only been diving for 10 years. When I was learning to use an oxyacetylene torch as a teenager I was told to stay clear of the guages when turning on the tanks and at 52 I still do it automatically. Some of us are slow learners.

    The movie was fun to watch with other cave divers, like Matt says, it's even better when alcohol is involved...

    Dive safe,

    PS I thought the U/W photography was great.... the exploding scooter...not so much.
