because people don’t follow these 5 basic rules:
1. Always use a continuous guideline to the surface.
2. Save two-thirds of the total air supply for returning to the surface.
3. Carry at least three lights during the dive.
4. Limit dive depth to that appropriate for the gas being breathed
5. Be well trained in cave diving and mentally prepared for the dive.

If you are more curios there is a Youtube channel called Dive Talk and they break down movies, youtube videos, etc of people diving and break down what they did good and what they did wrong. They cover a lot of cave diving accidents.
