As a cave diver this is the sign I see that sits at the entrance of almost every cave dove by divers. Yes I see a picture of the grim reaper every time before I enter a cave...

@freemo to be fair, as someone completely unfamiliar with diving, this is at least a clear and obvious message. I kind-of wonder how many lives are saved each year by sending a clear message like this.

@cobratbq

I wouldnt change the sign for a second... if it scares you too much to enter, then you shouldnt be entering.

I have many many hours of hard training to ensure diving caves is relatively safe for me. So when i see that sign it doesnt really scare me, it just tells me what I already know.

If anything it gives me enough of a healthy fear to not loose focus, it reminds me i need to be on my game or die. That is something i should always be aware of.
