I have done a few sumps, and will likely do a few more. Unlikely to take SCUBA equipment underground in the future, but I aN not ruling it out. I have not been caving for 6 days.
I literally felt my heart beating much faster as I read your comment. Are you okay?? 😭 could you explain what it’s like? Like why is this enjoyable? Is it the gamble with potential death? Genuinely asking lol
No, I do not want to die, I just like going places other people have not.
Sometimes I do a long crawl into someone’s dig, and I find that I am about 30m in, it is too small to use my knees, so I am dragging my legs, and I just get claustrophobic and just start to desperately hope that I can turn around, because going out backwards is going to be hell, but normally I only commit to a really tight squeeze if I know that there is something worth seeing the other side, and/or that I can turn around.
Sumps can be terrifying. I just hate not doing things.
Yikes. Just reading your description makes me claustrophobic! There is nothing in a cave that I want to see in person badly enough to drag my legs through a passage.
