Most Dangerous SCUBA Dives in the World

From New Jersey to Australia, sinkholes, major underwater cave systems and even a military explosives dumping ground await those who dare to dive. Many have attempted these excursions and, sadly, some didn't make it back alive. These are the most dangerous SCUBA dives in the world.

Editor's Note: These dives are remote, extremely dangerous and for experts only. For that reason, we urge readers not to attempt these dives without extensive training and a qualified partner.
