"Thank God All Divers Live" is the mnemonic that safe cave divers live by.
When these STANDARDS began being followed the number of cave fatalities
dramatically fell (Standards do work)

T - Training, Proper training is required to dive caves.
G - Guidelines, Maintain a continous guideline to a verticle ascent.
A - Air, The Rule of Thirds (Third in, Third Out, Third Reserve)
D - Depth, Don't cave dive an EAD deeper than 130 feet (narcosis)
L - Lights, Carry a minimum of three working lights.
