Most people are mentioning the issues of visibility, but there’s a more pressing concern; air.

If you’re diving in the open ocean, and you scrape a rock or something that damages your air delivery system, you just surface and you’re fine.

If you’re diving in a cave, surrounded by solid rock, and something damages your air delivery system, you’re basically dead.

The main risk is that there is ***zero*** room for error.
