I dived two springs in that area in the 70s, Vortec and Morrison. These are dangerous dives under the best conditions.
My prayers for their loved ones.

What an odd headline. It should read “Two ‘openwater divers’ die in cave dive.”
It’s weird that three young teens couldn’t haul the first guy out of the water because he was too heavy.

This happens every few years here in Florida.
Cave Diving is the most dangerous sport .....................

So they didn’t find the lost Nazi gold?
To: Red Badger
One of the divers is believed to have mentioned that he possibly had a leak in his tank. If you even THINK you have a leak in a scuba tank....do NOT attempt another dive. Stupid, stupid, S.T.O.O.P.I.D.

It’s weird that three young teens couldn’t haul the first guy out of the water because he was too heavy. Lungs full of water. Lead weights on dive belt. Aluminum tanks...just for starters. Not so weird.

You get to make only one mistake in diving and EOD... The other thing that caught my eye...
“The juveniles believed the discussion was in regards to going back down into the ‘cave’ and whether or not they had enough air in their tanks to complete their dive.
How long did the previous dive take? Standard gear is a watch to track amount of air left. And if time of dive is over the time on watch...get out and try again later.

I don't know -- "Body" versus "Die."
When I read three "teen boys discover body while swimming at waterhole" I naturally figured they had discovered a different body.

Thanks. I’m not a diver and hadn’t thought about all that.

I dove that area a lot back in the lates 70s as well. I never technically cave dived, but lots of spring diving where you were under ledges and could even come up in air pockets to talk with your buddy. But you could always see the light of the entrance. Not really much more dangerous than open water diving, but all diving deserves respect for your equipment, air, dive time, and the ability to know safe limits. When I read 137 feet down, if that’s distance into a spring, it’s not so much. If that’s vertical, that’s a lot and pushes the limits of straight O2 diving.

"When they came back up, they held what seemed like a concerning conversation about whether or not to attempt another dive....After a short time, both adults dove back down under the water.”

Not a whole lot of discovery involved if the body surfaces right in front of you.
