Well, since more people die while bowling, shouldn’t we ban bowling from the U.S.? What about skydiving, rock climbing, kayaking, or even swimming down at the local YMCA? That’s statistically more dangerous. The answer to these questions is always the same: education. Both the NSS-CDS and the NACD (National Association of Cave Divers) support a program where warning signs are posted just inside a cave entrance. These signs warn the curious diver that they should not proceed into the cave unless they are properly trained and equipped. Some of the signs include a depiction of the Grim Reaper, to underline the life-or-death decision the diver is about to make. Just about anyone can rent an airplane, get a army-surplus parachute and jump out of a plane. It is no less ridiculous an idea than entering a water-filled cave. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, access to water filled caves is much easier, and the PERCEIVED danger much less. Again, the answer is education. This Web site is yet another way in which the NSS-CDS hopes to educate, in general, the public and, more specifically, open-water divers to the dangers of diving into water-filled caves.
