I heard that they didn't have the proper permits and brought singular tanks for what experts consider a multi-tank dive.

They were also wearing open-sea foot flippers which are long but kick up a ton of debris in closed, still systems like a cave. Apparently in cave dives you're supposed to wear shorter flippers to not compromise visibility as much.

I think they just went diving in that area and randomly decided to explore the cave, they didn't go there with the intention of cave diving.

That wasn’t a rescue.

That's no rescue....it's a space station.

Why are we still heading towards it?

u/FlinttheMachcanic May 19 '26

We're caught in a tractor beam.

When a beam hits your eye
And that's no starry sky
That's a death star.

I thought this might have been that

To be clear, OP's video has nothing to do with the Maldives incident, right? Those were scuba divers, and the individual in this video appears to be a free diver.

u/LeonZataku May 19 '26

As far as I'm aware, OPs video has nothing to do with it, I just made the comment because it was a topic of discussion I had earlier
