Wow, that's uncomfortable for me to watch. Extreme effort and putting your life in danger to squeeze through tiny holes in ripping current to see... rocks? No disrespect intended but, personally, I'll never understand the fascination with this type of diving?
 
This is the explorer side of diving. Equivalent to an astronaut. The adrenaline rush has to be insane. So much has never been seen.

Dr Richard Harris, a close friend of the 29-year-old Ms Milowka, says “It looks like she has remained very calm right to the very last breath while she has been working to extricate herself.”

"When you are in a very narrow part of a cave, visibility turns to zero very quickly."

“Ms Milowka was an "aggressive diver" who was on the cutting edge of her sport.”

"She can't turn very quickly, she can't see anything and she has been unable to work out the way to get out of the cave and she has run out of air."

“An expert cave diver who had mastered Tank Cave many times, Ms Milowka became separated from her diving "buddy" before being reported missing about 1.45pm on Sunday.”
