Hello Gus and Woody, This is Fabio from @HarborsUnknown thank you for watching our video and for your very nice comments. I was just in the right place at the right time and feel very fortunate for the opportunity to help avert a potential fatality. Fakarava is an atoll in the Tuamotu, French Polynesia, great diving sites for the grouper spawning and the wall of sharks. Thank you for your input and expertise in explaining how the rebreather works. Congratulations on your channel.
You did a great job Fabio, saved a life there for sure, well done. I worked as a diver for years and had a few saves I had to make, none quite like that one though. I hope the lady thanked you eventually.
@DiveTalk: This comment should be pinned...
You are a hero bro! Amazing job!!
Well done Fabio, well done
Nice work on saving a life, Fabio! 😊
Woody, please DO NOT stop being YOU. You two are just such a treasure to watch even though I never had ANY experience. What is such a pleasure to watch you two is your absolute passion & not hiding both your personalities. You guys are one of my top favorite channels. Keep it going, keep doing what you two do
I love Woody’s love for pink!! Keep rocking it Woody- pink looks awesome on you! Love you guys! 💕
I was going to say that woody rocken them pink kicks 🤙
Fakarava Island is a French Polynesian Island. Fakarava means “Beautiful” in Tahitian. Good work by all involved and glad they had the necessary equipment to stabilize her.
I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure Woody is spot on with his pronunciations.
"Fakarava" - Woody: "fu***rama" because of spawning fish party. 😂
Two thumbs up to Fabio, and also the woman's dive buddy (husband ?) and the "big boat", and everybody else involved in this ultimately successful rescue ! 👍👍
Gus was like wait a min! 😭He’s so worried he’s gonna offend people in almost every video. It’s hilarious but I understand completely. I’ve never really been interested in diving but they make it fun and interesting to learn about dive safety and rescue. The risks are insane but I see the appeal.
This comment is EVERYTHING 😂
THE PINK SHOES ARE EVERYTHING ✨
The fact that he saw that from so far away is amazing. Great job!
He's probably been on the water a ton and has a trained eye for whats not normal looking. The brain is funny that way.
Wow, Fabio to the rescue (and hats off to the other gent keeping her afloat in the water - plus the chap with dreads that dove in and everyone else involved)! Just shows you how important that surface lookout is, I'm incredibly impressed at his diligence and eyesight, spotting that hand poking out so far away, his quick response and life-saving actions. Well done to all involved! Also love that Dive Talk is the antithesis of misinfo on diving, just telling hard facts & promoting safety!
Thanks for sharing and reacting to our video guys! The more people that can learn from this experience the better. Thanks also for the clarification on the rebreather system!
That guy is a hero and he explained what happened so humbly and calm, great video. Woody needs help though lol
Biggest part of all of this is HE WAS PAYING ATTENTION!! Props to you man
"fuckarama" isn't even in woody's top 10 most controversial moments lol
I haven't dived, but watching Dive Talk channel I get the feeling that I am now more educated about diving than those who dive with single tank in caves and which are later picked up by Edd Sorenson.Love this channel.
You guys are like the Laurel and Hardy of the diving world I love you both❤.
Awesome commentary. So glad Fabio was there and was able to remain calm and help them without harming himself. I also liked the explanation of a rebreather. I now understand how they work.
Great job Fabio + everyone else who pitched in to salvage such a serious situation. Woody I loved your joke / Gus's reaction also - you guys rock 👊
So many people don’t realise that drowning is a “ quiet” thing. Not all this splashing and screaming that we see in the films.
😂 I looked at the thumbnail and saw Guss rubbing his eyes and shaking his head while Woody had his pink sneaker up. I knew I had to check in😂. Another great video guys love it❤
I saw this episode on their channel last week. Glad you guys covered it. Phenomenal job in recognizing a problem in the water and the rescue. Kudos!
This was great. He did a fantastic job. Fakarava looks beautiful. Thank you Gus and Woody. ❤️🥰
You should find those divers and interview them, would be interesting to know what happened, especially rebreather near misses are important to be analyzed. (I admire Gareth Lock's work on that). Fatal RB accidents rate is 100x that of OC. RB safety would be also a good DiveTalk topic I believe.
Fakarava is in French Polynesia, this grouper spawning event is once a year at night, in an atoll mouth at high tide with strong currents into the blue.
@Navy1977, the numbers on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather_diving#Risk might be a bit dodgy... Wikipedia 🙄. So, I checked recent DAN estimates, and there are 180-220 dive fatalities per year, with 20-25 on CCR. Considering there are only ~20-30k CCR divers and over a million OC divers, a guesstimate puts the death rate at 1.8-3.8 per 100,000 CCR dives, while OC is below 1. Therefore, the accident rate is approximately three times higher for CCR compared to OC.
Love you guys! Woody, I love your shoes! Are those the ones your kids got for you? What an amazing video, that gentleman's quick thinking really made a difference.
Now all I want to see is a compilation video explaining the different ways I can get someone who is in full scuba gear, out of their gear, and out of the water that is unconscious. Stuff I am finding doesn't really cover this worst case. Seems like everything points to having two people on the boat to lift the person out of the water?
Doing anything to remove gear is critical especially if you are alone. Gear can be replaced. Most folks are not inclined to just cut away thousands of dollars of gear from someone they dont know. Nervous about getting sued maybe?
The other issue, if you are not familiar with the gear and cut the wrong thing, it could make things worse. If he knew how, best thing would be inflate the BCD all the way and hope they have their weighting right.
You might hear that a lot on Dive Talk :)
I recommend tacking a diver stress and rescue course along with a CPR/AED first aid course.
In my rescue course we learned how to take gear off an unconscious diver while maintaining breathes. We also learn how to get divers out of the water using different methods. I definitely recommend the rescue course to EVERYONE.
You dont need to cut anything, but Fabio wasnt familiar with the kit, no fault of his. You should be able to unbuckle the scuba kit or rebreather from the boat, then it's just the weightbelt if necesarry. @@YukonSeanHolland
How interesting to see someone 100% on top of the situation. Thanks for covering this very good news! Merry Christmas! 🎁 🌲🎄
Wow, Gus has lost a lot of weight. I’m really happy for him, and those are some awesome pink shoes you got there Woody ❤. You guys always put out 🔥 content.
i saved a Venezuelan baby's life in Colombia... I was talking to a Venezuelan couple... their baby was in a pram... the pram suddenly started rolling down the sidewalk towards the road.. a car was coming.. i grabbed the pram and stopped it going into the road. I havent had many opportunities in life to do a good thing, but I'm glad I got to save at least one life during my life. Obviously I dont know if the baby would have definitely died, but im pretty sure if i hadnt stopped the pram it would have been hit by the car.
Awesome!
Thank God Fabio's eyesight is so good I don't know how he saw that
I loved the joke Woody. At least the two of us were thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
You’re looking good, Gus. Keep up whatever it is you’re doing. And keep putting out awesome content like this. Also, Woody’s joke did make me laugh. It wasn’t that bad.
Those are legit some nice shoes Woody. Bless ya both for providing us with great educational content.
just letting you guys know you are keeping my head up with these videos letting me know more about this goal of underwater rescue i want to pursue, and also keeping me in the headspace to focus on achieving this goal. i appreciate you guys greatly and i hope one day we will be able to meet and dive together sometime...
also stellar shoes you got woody i am jealous.
Never seen that many grouper together in my life
What a wonderful rescue. I LOVE when you get to react to "wins" as it were. So glad everyone was in the right place at the right time and didnt hesitate.
"Gus, remember the comments" I love Woody!! 😂😂
People get on woody about the pink, but Ive heard from the son of Les stroud "survivor man" that pink is a better safety signaling color because some people are colorblind, like the son is, and seeing pink is much easier than orange. So not only is it a fashion statement but it possibly makes it easier and safer for others to spot each other!
Great job to everyone that was there, especially Fabio and great explanation of the rebreathers, guys. Thanks.
What the Fakarava ! Well done Fabio, lifesaver. Beautiful reef as well.
1:38 gus genuinely laughs at woody's funny mispronunciation of fakarava and it's great lol
woody giggling at his own jokes makes me so happy
I hope one day I can enjoy life even half as much as Woody does. Don’t change brother!
You guys need a full podcast and to post the video footage of it. I know you do lives occasionally, but a full podcast with Ed or some of the other top tier divers would be super cool to see and hear….. on another note… Love you guys! Gus you look great, and woody seems to be back to full health! Love the content! Keep it up fellas!
What a great story! It's so amazing to see that he was able to save the life of a complete stranger, it's inspiring and it makes me happy that she's going to be alright!
Found your channel a couple months ago. Not a diver or swimmer but I find your content fasinating. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year :)
You all should check out a video on underground mine refuge chambers. They use a scrubber system kind of like rebreathers to prolong time you can survive in one in case of a mining disaster
You guys are awesome thanks for the fun antics between you guys - love it
Wow, awesome work helping them both!
And crazy, how two of my favorite UA-cam channels are overlapping, SV Delos and Dive Talk! :D
I want those shoes!! Lol and that joke had me DYING 😂😂😂😂 Budump bump!! 💀💀
They are diving in the Fakarava Atoll guys.
Beautiful place ❤
Are there any plans to bring the podcast back? I miss it so much! I have the old episodes memorized at this point 😂 I loved both of you just sitting down and talking about diving, sharing thoughts, discussing certain topics as well as your experiences. Definitely used to be and still is my comfort podcast!
Not a diver but I am learning with each video.
What a great video, this is an example that in an awful situation great attitude usually bring good results!!
I'm a new subscriber and I think you two are just awsome. I love your videos and the way you are explaining things. Just keep on guys ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for this review and tips. I just took the DAN DFA-pro first aid class and look forward to Rescue Diver class next. I want to be prepared with training should I ever encounter this type of situation. More videos and tips like this would be helpful.
Its been a while since I watched this channel and OMG GUS u look incredible!!!! Congratulations!!! Not only have you changed your life you are changing others lives! This gives me such inspiration! Bravo!!! Makes me want to run through a wall!! WOW
Great video! I think I'm gonna watch it again because it's classic Dive Talk.
Man I love watching you guys! I’m watching your channel because I want to learn how to dive! Just letting you know I love your content!
great video guys! Woody, for the record, I love those shoes, they look really cool!
Brian from SV Delos is the most legendary UA-cam sailor in the game and his boat SV Delos is probably one of the most legendary sailing yachts on the water today
Holly cow Gus looking good! Its been a second since I've seen one of your videos. Keep it up my man.
Great awareness video!!
I love those shoes Woody!! Keep thriving my heroes!!
Now hoping to see a @Dive Talk and @HarborsUnknown dive video.Great job Fabio saving that couple!!God Bless!!
Pink shoes! Woody’s hat and headphones remind me of the “Snoopy” head gear of the Apollo astronauts.
I saw a Goliath Group in the Gulf of Panama City Beach... I knew they were big, but HOLY HELL were they big @_@
i tried to pull a 220 pound man back on board solo 40 miles offshore in a storm and i could move him out of the water more then to his waste. what hes saying about how hard it is to pull a person onboard is 100% true
Thanks for sharing/making this video, guys, with everything going on in the world, a positive story is like a breath of fresh air. :)
awesome job , nice to see a good outcome. loving the pink trainers 👍
You guys are the best have a good day!
hi guys a big shout out from my home town Mount Gambier Sth Australia. Gus i just re watched a video from 2 years ago and noticed how much weight youve lost since then congrats mate glad your both fit and well. be awesome to meet you both if your ever diving this amazing spot in future cheers Mike
FYI, the dive site is at Fakarava Atoll in French Polynesia. It is the second largest atoll in the Tuamotu, after Rangiroa, and is located 450 km northeast of Tahiti.
Epic shoes woody!! And you said it right, we DO want to see your style! At least I do haha, I also love pink 😊 I want a pair for myself now!
Great "dad" joke Woody! I LOVE it!!! Don't stop joking around, yinz guys rock!
I’ve been waiting for another video let’s gooooo 🙌🏻🙌🏻love you gus and woody!
Gus has lot SO much weight! You need a video telling everyone how you did it! Great job Gus!
Great classic dive talk clip! I love my rebreather, always be cautious
I once also nearly drowned with my double and stage, when my wing did not keep the air. I tried to inflate, but it immediately lost it. Already in panic I tried to inflate the dry suit, but forgot to close the valve of the dry suit. I swallowed so much water by the time, that I could not keep my regulator in my mouth, spitting it out. My buddy tried to help. When I sunk under water, I thought: that's it, it was calm, I was not afraid, no panic any more. Just peace. I then remember crawling (luckily only 3 m depth in a lake) to the entrance with my regulator in my mouth. I think, that was pure instinct. I got out of water, shaking from the adrenaline and coughing. At home I cleaned the wing valve - I believe, that something got stuck and let the air out. A week later I dove again. Everything worked fine. What I do for my own safety now, as soon as I surface, I close the dry suit valve. It is enough to keep me on the surface, if the wing fails.
Hey Guys, thanks again for a great video. Gus, looking trim buddy!
My daughter (who is 4) has almost the exact same pair of shoes as woody!!!!❤ Love it!
Have you guys ever looked at the video game Subnautica? It is purely based in being a single diver being trapped in the middle of an ocean and doing what it takes to survive. Managing ways to eat/drink and fix your equipment. There are some fantasy elements to it. But you need to be able to overcome clausterphobia, thalassophobia, and try not to get lost in the twists of the ocean caves before your air runs out. After watching your videos I now realize the impossibily of it because there is no decompression issues no matter how far you dive. But I feel like the team really got the feeling of the fear and panic you might feel diving in some tight situations.
They all had such great cooperation, they all were working for the same thing- to help! Great work to everyone, would you guys ever be open to reacting to digging science?
Haha, right away I was going to the comments to say Woody didn’t have anything pink on and then he showed off his new kicks. 😂
love your videos! hope you never stop
The "song" she is quoting is actually a quote from the great mind that was Alan Watts. His lectures are wonderful.
Love the shoes Woody!
Just met Gus at the airport he is a great guy I can’t wait to see his cave diving adventures soon.
Nice to meet you!
these shoes are super fresh man
Love the shoes!! ❤
Another reason I think the padi rescue course should be included
In the open water
I had it in Cyprus when I have to race up to stop a student ascending to quick from 24m on a shot line , I was just a safety diver but trained rescue
I just have to say I love your shoes so much Woody!! Keep on rocking them 😄🤙🏻✌🏻
Been there, it's next to Rangiroa, in the tuamotu archipelago of the French Polynesia
Oh my goodness that would have been been bad, I love Woody’s shoes and octopuses are aliens 👾
I haven’t been able to watch for a while. GUS IS LOOKING FIT!!!!
Great video!
Woody those shoes are freakin awesome!!
Gus almost said “Sakuraba” at the end, it sounded like. I wonder if he’s an OG MMA fan?
she made an alan watts reference about dreaming, exact quote
LOVE the shoes Woody! ❤
Those shoes absolutely ROCK!!!
I just looove your channel guys
AMAZING BEGINNING OF THE DAY , THANK YOU GUS & WOODY 😘😘😘😘PS:GUS YOU LOOK BETTER AND BETTER EVERY TIME I SEE YOU MY FRIEND, AND WOODY LIKE ALWAYS HANDSOME 🤗🤗🤗🤗
