Swimming up to a good friend being pulled out of the cave on my Cave I graduation cave dive. Glad i went back underwater a day later (after i sobered up), otherwise going back into the caves would have been a lot more difficult.
as to personal oh #### moments, none yet and hope to keep it that way.
I have experienced 3 cave collapses, 1 face to face encounter with a big gator, struck by lightening, broken line on exit in a big river cave,buddy with double valve roll off in a bedding plane and unable to come to a quick rescue, and other stucks and etcs.....but always the most frightening near misses that came close to claiming my life has been the trips down I-75.

The only stressful story I've got is from a few weeks ago. I was tagging along on an intro class and had an equalization issue at around 18-20 feet in the Breakdown Room. Spent the whole swim out thinking I was going to blow my ear drum as I went down into the Peanut Tunnel and came back out to the surface.
My biggest oh no moment was when a drunk cut me off on I-95N at 3am on the way to cave country. When I swerved to avoid him, my car fishtailed, and I was drifting sideways down the highway at 80mph. I'm honestly surprised the car didn't roll...

Working out rock that fell into small entrance, rock falling on buddy trapping her legs down and ginnie on the weekend between 10-4 this time of year.
It's not stressful in the summer?
My most frightening experiences have been in "dry" caves - do those count?
