Guide lines are absolutely essential in cave diving. At almost any point in a cave dive, there's a risk of disturbing silt and losing visibility. Cave divers have developed a sophisticated set of tools and techniques for navigating in conditions of low or zero visibility.
Many underwater cave entrances are marked with a stark warning sign bearing an image of the grim reaper, imploring the diver to "prevent your death - go no farther". Underwater caves can be enticing to divers, but entering one without the correct training and equipment is extraordinarily dangerous. Hundreds of scuba divers have swum into an inviting-looking cave with crystal clear water, then turned around to see a wall of darkness from the silt they have kicked up; very few have lived to tell the tale.
