Yeah... I always heard stories about dangerous dives in caves. The number 1 danger i heard about was diving a very long cave that has lots of dead ends that look exactly like the way you are supposed to go and when you pick a wrong one you get out of oxygen to cemplete the "trail". Now all i wanna see is a pov of a diver who goes down one of those labyrints. Seems like the "GoPro" was invented in vein... If anybody knows of such a video (without blabla and actual footage oft the critical parts), please tell me or comment with a link or something.
So addicting to watch...imagine what it must be like to do!
I am a diver currently working on my DM and Sidemount. I have an increasing fascination with cave diving that is starting to worry me.
amazing filming! kudos
May your dives be many and your life long.
Is really beautiful yet scary ...I wonder if some wild something won't come out at them at any point. .....lol.....looks beautiful and peaceful
Riktigt häftig video 👍🏼
This is still the recreational activity that I want to participate in the most, but at the same time am more scared of then any other activity, including skydiving, base jumping, and wing suit flying... Holy shit, I want to do this so bad but I am so scared of my light running out or getting trapped underwater in one of these caves that I am scared that I will never get a chance to experience it myself...

Im going to earn cave diver certification soon, really the thought its not that scary. If a light runs out you carry a back up light. Your buddy has a light and a back up light. No problem at all. If the line breaks theres ways to go about resurfacing. Get out there and do it, if you die it would have been doing something awesome.

Too many people have unfortunately died in caves due to not being properly trained and prepared with adequate safety measures or becoming complacent.

During the summer animals specially predators tend to come out specially during the spring so it’s best to avoid any underwater cave exploration unless you want to meet with a huge fish that could potentially eat you or some other creature. Almost all animals including fish are going through hibernation or are sleeping during the winter too so you are all on your own with no one to bother you or you bothering the ecosystem too much.
@expeditionbjuralven2426

While huge fish is not normally a very big danger in Bjurälven, the current is... Summertime the current can be up to 20 knots and it is impossible to enter the cave. This is why we go wintertime, when the current is much weaker. Also, during winter we can drive snow mobiles and this allows us to bring in our equipment while making least possible impact on the nature in the Bjurälven nature reserve.

pretty cool
My father used to do this after I was born, he's a professional diver.
I could never do this. I would panic so bad.
1 bad incident lights out well and truly
As a cave diver, I would to understand why they dive in the winter. Do the caves drain in the warmer months? Are the mosquitoes unbearable? Is it just easier logistically because you can use the frozen rivers as transportation roads?
Those bubbles will stay trapped forever on the roof of that cave. That somehow makes me sad

How are they diving in that ice water without ffm?
Brisk my goodness brisk!!!
My question is, why do it during winter?
To each it’s own. Personally I find this to be claustrophobic, without the fact that it’s super risky. Don’t mind the pictures; but doing it myself? No thank you. Rather a nice beach with a cold beer as my next vacation.
Terrible if a change in underwater environments causes the cave tunnel and walls to suddenly crumble break im not sure if this can happen though?
That's horrifying
What are they exploring?
These people are crazy :D
Where is this ice Age place??
3:06 They're actually in the water
Cave diving in the night solo.
under water like on the out of earth
Why don't they go in the summer??
So they are motivated by seeing something nobody else has seen before. Maybe it is unseen for good reason... there is nothing to see. Dark, cramped tunnels, and empty walls. Slight chance they might discover something noteworthy. If I was going to do something that risky I would want to be assured there is something REALLY spectacular at the destination.
