I've worked a few of those, including a cave diving instructor and an instructor-trainer, both with plenty of air in their tanks, excellent visibility, etc., and both quite dead. Very mysterious.

My brother is a master diver, rescue diver, etc., but he won't go near a cave. Swim with Great White sharks? No problem. But caves? No way.
