Illegal Cave Diving Ends Badly | The Plura Cave Diving Disaster

Spread The Viralist



Beneath the icy waters of a Norwegian cave, a gripping saga unfolded on February 6, 2014. A diving expedition turned tragic, affecting five Finnish divers, with two facing an uncertain fate and three others grappling with decompression sickness. Their journey, captured in the riveting documentary “Diving Into The Unknown,” is a testament to bravery and the indomitable human spirit.

The GoPro camera which was attached to one of the divers recorded the moment disaster struck.

  1. Don't have children and do these dangerous "sports." It's so selfish. It makes me even more mad these ppl don't think about those who will have to risk their lives finding their bodies. One wrong move or choice and your a dead man. I've watched so many of these and it seems many of them could have been prevented. Experience means nothing a lot of the time. It's simple mistakes that could have been prevented. The reason I get angry is that these people have so much to live for. I would never want this to happen to anyone. It's tragic.

  2. Man, humans come in all varieties. The fact that this is fun to anyone blows my mind. I would rather go back in time and charge across no mans land in World War One than have to go diving in a cave like this.

  3. Full stop after that many deaths tied to one guy he should be under a murder investigation. Some of the deaths are highly suspicious, and dude just straight up should not be allowed back in the damn water.

  4. The first 11 seconds then add a high probability of drowning to go somewhere to see nothing that will add any value to your life…and people pay and travel to do this. C'mon people, a little risk assessment or just jump already lol

  5. What baffles me the mist is that there are completely empty smh. I always thought caves were vibrant ecosystems, with lots of plants, fungi, fish, molluscs, crabs etc in them but these… there is nothing in there exept water, rock and sand. They are completely hostile to life…

  6. just so i understand this correctly: the two who died were not actually stuck without recourse or in an acute danger situation, but they both panicked and exerted themselves so much that their breathing apparatuses made them act in an erratic manner and then they drowned? so if they wouldn't have used rebreathers but normal air tanks, this wouldn't have happened? i don't really understand why the first one actually panicked. seems like he was freed by his friend

  7. Cave diving is am extremely hazardous sport, more hazardous than sky diving.

    Planning a cave dive with anyone associated with ONE diving fatality involving negligence should limit the diver to cave diving in well explored spots.

  8. Kai would eventually meet the same faith . I hope it doesn't come to that but seeing his action and judgement makes feel he lost his mind. Normal sea diving is beautiful enough for me ! Losing friends like that would scar me for rest of my life but he is treating his friends life like a game . Pathetic

  9. Brilliant story telling and footage! Love the maps too but it is a bit confusing at times, like at 13:57 when you say Kai is last but he's first on the animation? Or at 10:11 they are at the deepest point of the dive and not the 90° bent.
    Hope i don't come accross as nitpicky your content is awesome, it was just hard to follow on these parts.

  10. As someone who never says no to any kind of adrenaline related activity- and there are a few that I have done that I have regretted but since then wanted to do again- except caving— that shit was one and done for me even though it was an amateur cave (only few squeezes) and we had some experienced cavers from college doing it with us NEVER AGAIN
