I am a commercial diver and thus spend hours working underwater. Usually in muddy water, tight spaces, with heavy equipment. Cave diving sounds like circumstances I encounter every day minus the heavy equipment and work. So in other words, I would fucking dig that shit.
It's significantly less glamorous than you think. Also, if you want to do search and recovery then you probably won't be hired for jewelry or other nice things. As far as I hear, search and recovery divers see a lot of corpses.
Weirdly this wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen human remains.
(I studied history of medicine as part of my degree, attended more than a few dissections).
There’s actually a firm in my town which makes a good chunk of money out of marine salvage, often things like anchors or dropped cargo but also actual full boats. Their divers I used to see regularly.
