  • Cave Diving Gone Wrong - The 2014 Plura Cave Disaster
    Sep 26 2025

    Plura Cave Deaths (2014): Five professional divers decided to make one of the most difficult cave dives… the entirety of Plura Cave in Rana, Norway. Two Finnish divers met tragic ends. Their bodies were initially deemed too dangerous to retrieve, but four of their friends undertook a risky mission to recover them. Cave diving, by its very nature, offers little margin for error. A sudden incapacitation in a confined, overhead environment, far from immediate assistance, can quickly turn fatal.
