Adventures Gone Wrong
Welcome to Adventures Gone Wrong — a podcast where outdoor adventures take a turn, survival is optional, and questionable decisions are part of the journey.
I’m Stacie, your chaos-loving storyteller from the Yukon. I dig into real-life tales of risk, resilience, and what happens when the wilderness doesn’t go according to plan.
Some stories will make you laugh. Some will make you say “WHY would they do that?!” All of them will make you glad it wasn’t you.
Adventures Gone Wrong
The 2026 Maldives Cave Diving Disaster
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In May 2026, five experienced divers entered a deep underwater cave system in the Maldives. None of them came out alive.
This is the story of the Maldives cave diving tragedy, the rescue operation that followed, and the unanswered questions around why experienced ocean divers entered a cave they were not trained or equipped to escape.
