Watching NOVA tonight and they featured the big underwater eruption 2 years ago in Tonga. They did a good job of explaining the findings so far. The researchers looked at a nearby active volcano, gathering data both by drone and on foot.
On foot, they hiked to the bottom of the crater within what looked like a couple hundred yards of a big sulfer dioxide plume. It seems to me it wouldn't take much of a change in conditions to put them in the SO2 clouds.
Besides scientific curiosity, you'd have to have a huge sense of civic duty to take that risk!
