I think cave diving is one of my saner hobbies. I view road biking, mountain biking, motorcycling, rock climbing, all to be more dangerous. Especially road biking and motorcycling. I've been doing a lot of reading about high altitude mountaineering and I think that climbing 8000m peaks is probably the most dangerous participatory sport in the work. If you summit Everest you have a 10% chance of not making it down. Annapurna has a 40% fatality rate. That's right, 4 deaths for every ten that make it. Makes cave diving look tame.

I have not been cave diving long but it seems cave diving is only as dangerious as you make it.
