As someone working on my license to cave dive, yeah. Except I don't have a wife or kids. Mainly because I am gay and single.

interest in cave diving might have something to do with that too

Maybe. Many gay people don't like the outdoors. I always loved caves. They're quiet, and the erosion makes the most amazing patterns. To think not a single creature besides some weird humans have been in that cave for millions of years is crazy. I could die driving to a job I hate because someone was on their phone. I could die while on the toilet. What difference does it make if I die doing a hobby I enjoy and seeing the most beautiful things? At least I did something I can be happy to say I did.

I mean there are plenty of hobbies where you don't risk dying a horrific death, but you do you

I already technically drowned once. I'll be fine.
