The Deadliest Sports on Earth: Ranked

Cave Diving

If you thought that scuba diving was dangerous on its own, try diving inside of a cave. The potential dangers nearly triple when entering a cave underwater. Loose sediment might clog your gear, you might run out of oxygen and be too far in to return, or, in a worst-case scenario, the cave might even collapse on you. Roughly three to eight people die from cave diving per year.
