If this is the clip I think it is it’s been the joke of the cave diving community. Cerrone has almost reached meme status for this interview. Watch the Dive Talk video reacting to this clip if you’re curious.

Thanks for sharing, I'll look that up and check it out, as I'm really curious about things like this that I've not experienced. Regardless of whether he's an idiot or joke or whatever, I can totally see how a scenario like he describes could happen and how scary it could be. I definitely won't be trying to learn how to cave dive anytime soon.

Edit - here's the link to the dive talk video if anyone is curious like me

I’m curious about your thoughts now that you’ve watched it.

A couple takeaways for me after watching their breakdown -

They seemed to generally agree with a lot of his points, although he clearly came across to them as an inexperienced amateur with how he described things and gaps in his story.
Mofo should have NEVER let go of the line, or at minimum should have tied off on it when he went in to check on his buddy.
It was never clear in his story why he lost the line and had to exit the way that he did. When he said he came out of the silt on the further inwards side of the cave, he should have been able to just grab the line and then follow it out. That's the biggest WTF to me after watching.
Regardless of this dude's inexperience, and he's not a person I follow or anything, my original comment of that being a nightmareish scenario is definitely still valid. Feeling/becoming lost (even if it was due to your own stupidity) and knowing you're on a timer that's accelerating due to your panic would absolutely freak me out, and is enough where I don't think I'd ever want to cave dive. However, I'm usually a stickler for the rules, and I certainly wouldn't have let go I don't think. I'd want to ALWAYS be touching it or tied off against it. He was either a complete idiot or had an enormous amount of confidence in his abilities to free swim in an unfamiliar cave. Either way he was definitely showing his inexperience there.
Fuck underwater caves! Although it's super fascinating to me, lol.
