Cave divers, of course, deal with an elevated level of risk, and the most that I can say here is that we tend to conduct our work at the bottom of a deep cave on an extremely conservative basis with heavy levels of backup equipment and a policy to abort if any single person doesn't like the situation underwater at any time during the mission.
Caves are whimsical things, and geology on a local scale is random and unpredictable.
There are plenty of people on Earth. It's not like the human race is going to disappear if a few people don't come back. Exploration is dangerous.
Generally speaking, moving water is the most dangerous thing you can encounter underground.
If you don't come home with data, you've done nothing.
