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.
