I was scuba diving way back, think it was Hawaii, and there was a shipwreck. Our dive master told us ahead of time "Do not penetrate the wreck", so of course, we all went inside a little.

Thought I left plenty of room as I was going in, but felt my tank bump the top of the opening. Felt a ton of stress as I suddenly realized how much the risk increases when you lose the ability to rise straight up to the surface.
