You might also want to read about the Devils Hole incident. Imagine getting sucked into an underground river that is impossible to swim against, while you get sucked deeper and deeper into the void as your oxygen tank starts to run out.

Between Nutty Putty and that story, I've decided that I never want to go anywhere near a cave, regardless of ~~whether it's underwater or above ground~~ where it's located.

Thank goodness there aren't many above ground caves

Nonsense. There are plenty of caves inside of mountains, but I edited my comment anyway to make you happy, cause I know someone is going to argue that a cave inside of a mountain is still technically underground.
