There was an attempt to install pins with a rope trail to help divers through, or cage close the false domes, but it was rejected. the main argument was that it would become too much of an attraction (no thrill) also that the more that are attracted to a "safety mechanism", some might feel too daring and go into stage 3.

That's not correct. The four victims in 1973 were the only ones to die in the Allendale Shaft. There have been 14 deaths in all Mount Gambier region caves since 1969. The last fatalities were two divers who died in separate incidents at Tank Cave in 2011.

Amazing down there under a grass pasture

“Look up and see clouds”, Me: you cannot see clouds while you’re diving in a cave lol

I got lost in a normal above ground cave once, and although it was only about 1 or 2 miles long and no alternate paths, I only had my phone as a flashlight and was running down to about 19% battery. I thought I was closer to the exit than I was, and started to get disoriented and claustrophobic. Eventually I stopped moving, turned off my light and sat down to catch my breath since the air is much less underground. The darkness, the silence and the loneliness is enough to make anyone go mad. I didn’t give up there, and regained my energy to push forward stronger than before. Got to the end of the cave where there was sunlight, by that time I was too exhausted to stand. Never felt so happy and relieved to lie in a ditch that happened to be part of the exit.

I remember pulling myself free and seeing my friend, whom was a larger person submerged and kicking his legs. Took me a good minute to dig enough sand away from him to pull him out.

amazing video, I want to visit in the future. I've only done cavern diving in Yucatan region of Mexico.

It's huge and beautiful. I'm guessing my now it's fully explored?

"caves don't normally kill people" is a poor statement. Even a small injury in a cave is significant if it hinders getting out. Mining caves have lots of false floors, holes, and steep banks. People do fine in caves because they comprehend the dangers, mitigate the risks, and have plans in the event of an emergency.

who'd ave thought cows being mere inches from a sinkhole 🤔😲

Hello ABC Australia, hope all is well! I'm considering doing a video soon about a story involving this same spot. Is there any chance I would be able to have permission to use some of the footage of the divers inside the cave to go along with my story?
