Spelunking and cave diving stories are always horror stories to me.

I'll _never_ understand how "And then we had to take off all our gear and scoot forward by pushing with our bare toes for 30 minutes to reach the next cave" is perfectly normal for some people...

I was watching this Studio Ghibli movie, The Red Turtle, which is a very calm animated movie with basically no words.

And the guy swims through an underwater cave and gets stuck for a moment.

just a silly animated scene.

...but in that moment I went from relaxed to heart in my throat.

There have been a couple horror/adventure films about people in tight caves. I will never watch these.
