If I were cave instructor I would buy this guy’s vid copyright so I can use it in my classes for everything you SHOULD NEVER DO, this is the perfect example of “Normalization of deviance” meaning.. every time an undesirable behavior doesn’t result in a problem, it becomes more tolerant; that is how people die…
I had a problem this Saturday and everyone was in front of me. I pulled out my light and started doing fast circles to get their attention. It worked, and they came back and helped me. Before the dive we planned the dive, I asked and the guys said we don’t need the lights. I thought about you guys, and what you always say. Dive for the emergency. Thanks.
@Navy1977 Sure. I was in the rear of the group and I felt a pull from my regulator. At the same time I felt my tank fall off my back. I believe it hooked in the line that we were following. It took me about a second to realize that short of pulling my gear off I could not get it. So I used my light, (that I only brought because of this channel), and did my fast circle with the light towards the guys swimming away from me. They noticed the light and swam back and got me free. I didn’t have to self rescue because I had the light. Besides being my coldest dive, I learned a-lot.
Hi guys! Thank you for pointing out how easy it is to feel like it’s ok to do these things just because they had no issues THIS TIME. I cannot stress enough how VERY REAL that is. We had very similar experiences and were very lucky for a long time. But, as you know, luck runs out and friends are lost forever. I genuinely appreciate you both!
Well you are still alive, so I think you will be fine. Luck supports you bruh, nothing bad will happen to you. Try diving on a breath hold in Eagle's Nest and set a world record, I am sure you are going to come out fine and all pretty 😊
If anyone who watches you guys, still thinks you are just scuba policing people then they couldn't be more wrong! This is exactly why us new divers and aspiring cave divers watch everything because we need your experience, knowledge and training. Just because these guys felt safe and had no issues, does not mean that this is safe.
I did a dive on the USS Emmons shipwreck here in Okinawa Japan. I had backmount double tanks of 21% Air, a stage cylinder of 21% Air and a decompression cylinder of Nx 36%. Max depth was 154ft. I did a technical dive but there was some recreational divers diving at the same depth as me on single tanks! I saved some dude that ran out of air at 145ft. The diver instantly took my decompression cylinder regulator and started breathing from it. I took it from him and gave him my bottom stage cylinder. He went to the surface with my bottom stage while I completed my decompression. Luckily he made it back alive.
I think a lot of people don’t actually realize or understand the danger. It seems so easy to just swim down and look around. Not realizing the risks and what all needs to change. Especially if someone maybe has experience with other dives. Like maybe they’ve gone 100’ or so and don’t realize how different an extra 50’ can be.
Same, love diving, will even do technical diving, won't cave dive, but enjoy Dive Talk. About to do advanced nitrox to hypoxic trimix on my next dive trip (very soon), but I've already done a dozen intro deco dives, and I'm also certified on a rebreather(which isn't coming with me this time, technical issues last trip). I want the ability to get down to see hammerheads and dogfish which often hang out at 70+ meters depth.
Absolutely love this channel. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through the both of you. I always can appreciate when people truly have a love for something that they can share with others in an educational way. Thanks Woody, thanks Gus! Much love!
Love you guys! I am not a cave diver, just a regular scuba diver who likes warm water and pretty corals, but I love that you are critically and constructively looking at dives, divers and dive techniques.
I'm 50, I live in the UK and planning to become a scuba instructor for the after corporate life. Watching your channel teaches me so much and prepares me so incredibly much for whatever dive courses lie ahead (rescue, divemaster, etc). Thank you!
Great calling this to attention! We care for our fellow divers and those coming up. It is great to have this opportunity to do show and tell so we all can take note. Good reminders to dive within one’s trained and earned capabilities.
Found your guys channel few weeks ago. Probably watch 85% of the videos. And man I have so much respect for cave Divers and you two now. Never catch me in a cave but man thank you guys for what you guys do
Have you considered doing a video on a bunch of small tips you learnt over time but wish you knew when you started? I'm about to start diving and I was wondering whether there were any small things padi doesn't teach you?
There are a bunch of tips that PADI won't teach you. Especially how to dive 150ft on air... the only important is learn, and more than anything : PRACTICE! One very important: never chage more than one piece of equipment at a time. Whatever happens, we all pass by the following steps of the Dunning Kruger effect : - the confidence of ignorance will lead to - The Mount stupid - without serious incident, then, will be the valley of despair to climb back to - the slope of enlightenment to reach - a plateau of subtainability. the most important thing is : whatever your level will be, never feel obliged to dive... don't feel it, don't do it. never be in a rush. Learn, practice, learn, etc. ... little step by little step. and then, you'll discover a great world.
There’s a children’s show called octonauts. In it the team explores a cenote and has to call in an expert cave diver…it’s hilarious to see the accuracy.
Never dived and don’t plan to but these videos are very interesting. Just found the channel. The commentary and dive knowledge shared makes these great.
@14:00 you talk about both guys sharing gas at depth. There is an additional issue with their setup. Two people breathing heavily at 45m out of one single first stage may actually freeze the stage and... there you have another failure that will kill both! Another reason to carry the correct setup with double tanks and double regs. Cool Video!
Hey guys great content as always. I clicked the video at the end as I missed you guys covering the incident originally, and what an amazing transformation Gus has gone through with in a year. Keep up the great work guys.
Thanks guys! I’ve done a few dives and loved it. I have some health issues so can’t go again until that clears ups. I’ve been snorkeling instead. I wish people who are afraid of being in the water would understand the absolute feeling of zen. It’s the most calming thing thing I have ever done!
OMG Thank you for making the partial pressure connection for me! I’m new to SCUBA and couldn’t understand why we were talking about partial pressure formulas. I understood the math and the rules, but didn’t understand WHY! Once you guys mentioned breathing like four or five times the amount of oxygen at 4 or 5 atmospheres, than at 1 ATM, it all just clicked.
Let's do the minimum gas calculation. The agency I train with (GUE) has the following rules: 9m/min to half the maximum depth (next multiple of 3m), after that 3m/min to the surface (3m ascent in 30 sec, 30 sec stop) Multiply this by the average ATA, multiply by the assumed gas consumption (usually 20L/min, but more for inexperienced divers, especially when stressed), multiply by 2 divers sharing gas. 45m to 21m at 9m/min takes 3min (always round up) 21m to the surface at 3m/min takes 7min ATA at 45m is 45/10 + 1 = 5.5, at the surface is 1, so average is ( 5.5 + 1 ) / 2 = 3.25 ATA So, total consumption would be 10 minutes * 5.5 ATA * 20L * 2 divers = 2200L of gas I didn't get the tank size, but if it's a 80 cuft tank, that's 11L, so 2200L / 11L = 200 bar minimum gas to start the ascent. Even if they started with 230 bar, that would only leave them 30 bar to get down and do whatever they want to do on the bottom. And all that is assuming they don't to into a mandatory decompression. Don't be stupid, get the proper training and gear. With double tanks and a deco stage, this dive would have been perfectly safe. Also, I hope you all see how those calculations are much easier in metric), you can do this in your head during the dive if you need to. I've been trained to look at my computer, take the average depth and the time, estimate my gas consumption, and only then look at the SPG to check. Your SPG reading should never be a surprise, other than "that's a little lower consumption than the pessimistic calculation, nice!"
Should you be practicing running a reel and tying knots when you have people you are responsible for? Or is that something you do on the surface, get hands on familiar with that gear?
Love this channel. You both work so well together, I've always been afraid of taking part in scuba diving and especially cave diving. but watching you two within the last year has opened my eyes to this Hobby/Sport, and makes me really want to take part, I'm just worried how I'd fare learning this with IBD.
Diving is my biggest fear, water in general! I would love to try it someday I know I would enjoy it if I get over the hump. Love the videos guys keep killing it.
You guys give me the experience of hands clinched on the side of my chair. I can't even imagine dawning a wet suit and even going in the water much less a flipping hole with water in it. I love your adventures. May you be blessed exponentially on all of them
Buford is beautiful but know your limits. 2 guys died there the weekend before my CCR training and then it was completely blown out and tanic when we got there. Standing on the top stair one could not see their feet.
@@nowasiwassaying...1699 no. Very much the weather. Happens a lot down there. Been a weird year for diving this year. Most of the season has been blown out at multiple locations.
Almost all these guys thumbnails are the classic UA-camr “oh no” hands on the face, like grown men really sit and pose and makes these faces… absolute schmucks 🤣🤣🤣
In my padi advanced open water our instructor brought us to a wreck, when I motioned to him that we were at 150ft but even though it was 1998 I knew from my training that we had exceeded our depth limit. We were on a wreck off palm beach.
I don't remember but it started at 80 or 90 and descended probably 170 off palm beach/vero we did a swim through in the 90 to 100 part of our advanced class. Now my instructor was in the British navy and our training in the pool he was very aggressive like the terror instructor in one of your episodes. We circled in the pool which he swam around us and pulled our masks off, turned our air off dropped our weights not an average training, I give him credit for some things except his attitude of blowing off my comments. I believe that trip a mother/daughter senerio the mother was at the surface in panic mode where I grabbed her bcd inflated it told her to put herb mask and snorkle and begun to wave my arms to the boat and he swam over and we got her on the boat. It was never mentioned in class or anything. We should have went over that procure back they they did not use the 1/3 air procedure.It was the 500lb rules. Keep up the good work I have learned a lot from your you tube channel. I just passed my nitrox class and I'm overwhelmed to get back in the water. It's difficult here in South Texas. Sorry for the long message but look forward getting back in .
11:54. I have a question about the flash light. Could you use the strobe affect on a flashlight to get ones attention? Or could you manually strobe your flashlight?
Sure but I think it will be activated by mistake way more than actually used in an emergency, and in an emergency (like you are out of air) the last think you're going to be thinking is "Was it hold 3 seconds for strobe or 3 rapid clicks?", you are just going to go crazy and start shaking the light anyway so what's the point of having a strobe mode?
Classroom learning is now in session with Gus and Woody. Great Job Guys enjoy these videos and learning from the guys who know what they're doing especially as a non diver as myself
Would be nice to see you guys react to the Paria diving incident. I know its a little different from what you guys normally react to, but since its been sadly completly ignored by media and the internet i feel it needs more attention and you guys could do that
Gus.. bro.... I clicked the link at the end of the video and it went from you today to you from a year or so ago and oh my goodness gracious me, you have made changes you have be named gustavo and eat Mexican food because it's so delicious to be that fat. You've made some changes though and you're really looking good my man, you should have documented that or done a video series or something.. did you? Where can I watch those videos bro? So inspirational and you don't even mention it.. I don't know anything about you but congratulations I love this I'm so pumped I'm going cave diving tomorrow... Joking i know I need the experience and stuff was just joking. I'm just pumped good on you
I’ve been open circuit all over Florida and the Bahamas - but very few caves because I love the creatures of the sea. I still ❤ this channel, and will try to see Edd when I’m in the panhandle next time
I love this channel so much, I have binged so many of these videos because the topic is so interesting to me and I love hearing different perspectives! And I don’t mean any hate at all; but my one criticism is how in every video, Gus has such an elitist attitude. He belittles divers who make mistakes, says what they are doing wrong in a way that makes it sound like he knows everything about diving and everyone else is an “idiot”. Woody is always so positive and constructive, and I’d be so stoked to hear them both be on the same level.
I know there are ways of having emergency communications (I.e. shaking flashlight) but have there ever been different color lights used for this? I saw the red head light from one of your other videos in the Cenote and immediately thought that itd be good to have in case of emergencies. A different color I'd imagine would be very alarming if its kept strictly for problems. I also have 0 experience with this stuff tho and I know there are a TON of circumstances that it may not work (especially silt outs) hence why there are hand/touch signals, but why not have that extra layer of safety?
It also has to do with how light travels through the water and how colors become more dull as you go down, but also it comes down to, can you remember what color it needs to be in an emergency? also how do you reliably mount that on the flashlight? also what happens if the flashlight dies? it's an interesting concept but there is a lot that can go wrong with a color method imho.
Atmospheres, partial pressures and SAC rates are so much easier to calculate when you express dive depth in meters. Why people are hanging onto depth in feet is beyond me.
You guys should do a reaction to the goldrush whitewater show. They dive in rapid glacial water dredging for gold. I think it would be interesting to see what you think about it.
Hello guys:-) Watching your reactions on that video shows me how different our diving practice is in France. At CMAS level 3, which is my diving level with the french diving federation, we dive often at 150ft on a single tank (15 liter) of air. Our limit is 200ft and we operate at 1.6bar of oxygen Pp. I don't know what to think about it... your practice and rules are probably much safer, but on the other hand I don't think we have more accidents and we get to learn how to dive deep and do deco dives that are great to me. Love your channel ! Take care :-)
Are you trained to take a back up pony tank for emergencies? Im american and I trained with PADI. This is not recommended practice for us so I was curious.
Hi @@luv2read247 Our training doesn't include operating a back up source of air no. I know it's not a recommended practice in PADI training which is why I posted my comment. It shows how different our practices can be of the same sport activity! I find it very interesting. Maybe it's cultural with the Cousteau legacy I don't know... I'm just glad I could learn and experience deep dives on air and I love doing them often 🙏
@@ericboutry9488 wow. I know the standards are different for different agencies. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable that deep without a pony bottle but it's cool to see differences in the training agencies for sure.
Early on in my diving career as an advanced open water diver, I did a trip to Vanuatu on the president coolidge. Towards the end of the trip, once in the flow, warm water, no current etc. We were taken to the mine hole that sunk the ship and the last cargo hole. The Max depth was 70m or 229ft.... Single tank set up, 4 diver plus the guide.. who had to share air with two of the others on the way up. I managed to do the whole dive and Deco on the single cylinder 21%... Arms felt a little numb otherwise ok (good level of fitness back then) you don't know what you don't know... 😅
Deep dive, in a cave, on a single tank, so he'll run a line to be safe. Im not a diver, but this sounds to me like if I was saying : Ill ride my bike at 100 mph, no helmet, so ill be careful to remain on the safe side.
Hello Dive Talk, Have you guys watched Cave Exploring Disaster's video on The Plura Cave in Norway? it is about an hr drive from where i live and in 2014 a dive team of 5 finnish divers with experience had a very bad incident there. Highly recommend that video. Would love to watch you react to it :) PS: been watching a buuunch of ur video's here. very entertaining content. even tho i cannot dive due to medical reasons i still learn a lot watching.
Hey guys! I’ve been meaning to ask you this question. Are there any animals when you cave dive that you actually have to be worried about? I know that if you were to dive in a swamp alligators, crocodiles, whatever would be obvious but like in your usual spring cave are there predators? Or if you did an ocean cave, do sharks ever just chill in there?
Stone fish or sea urchins if they’re in the area you’re diving. I don’t know how deep in caves stone fish can live, but they will hide from predators and bury themselves in the sand there. I think it really depends on the location and type of cave you’re in.
been watching your videos for a while.. you guys are awesome ... just learned of this new mix that will let you dive to 3,000 meters... all you need two side tanks and an up the ass tank (its just a little one.. doesnt hurt) .. its a wee bet of 02 ,, some hydrogen and a lot of Nitrogen pentoxide....
WEIRD BEHAVIOR. “Not that you didn’t look good before” but that’s what you’re directly insinuating. YALL COMMENTING ON GUS WEIGHT ARE SO FUCKING WEIRD. HE BEEN SEXY. YOU ARE WEIRD FOR THIS COMMENT 😐😐
Ok so I've been going down the Rabbit hole of dive talk an I'm loving every single second, I've watched about 16 videos just today alone an I'm very much into the cave diving videos an all, but yall need to react to Scary Interesting's UA-cam channel they have a lot of cave diving stories on there an I'd love to see y'alls reaction keep up the good work guys
Always fun to jump in without your regulator in. Did I inflate, did I not? At least it's shallow by the walkway. 150ft in proper units is 46 metres, so 5.6Bar. For normal MOD 1.4ppO2, max EANx mix is only 25%; for 1.6 it's 28% as they had. So if you start exerting at 150ft you are not only going to be burning through gas but you're also on the wrong side of the statistics for death from O2 CNS toxicity. The girl isn't wearing a mask, the camera is narked too!
I’m not a diver, but through watching and loving your content btw , I’ve seen a few things and people that have quite a bit experience seems like make really rookie mistakes. I don’t know if it’s the people certifying them don’t take as much time as it should with each individual. I highly doubt it sad from what I’ve noticed. The diving community is really tight now, and I think people get complacent and I will talk more about that further down With your knowledge in the aim of saving lives, I don’t know you would have to get with your management and all your team and see how you want to do it but you could offer a refresher course via email and say give them five specific topics that you will also answer at the bottom of that refresher course. However, you guys decide to do it whether it’s a slideshow with with the writing or just writing or video format.. and also offer a one on one via zoom i’m going to assume it’s like every other hobby I like hunting there’s always something in season but I don’t get to go all the time even though it’s close so before a big diving trip quit possibly have been out of the water for some months
I dove a cenote in mexico on single tank to 135 in a pretty damn sketchy cenote if you want the video lol, but was with a guide who had dove it a few dozen times and had done over 8000 dives across the world. A short edit of it is on my channel
Wow, I truly hope everyone grasps the severity of how dangerous this was. I cannot understand how two individuals, who I assume are Nitrox certified (how else did they get it?), would exceed MOD so purposefully. PLEASE STOP DIVING BEYOND YOUR LIMITS AND JEOPARDIZING THE SPORT FOR THE REST OF US. I know some comments from Woody and Gus and even myself in this comment can come off as “elitist” or “holier than though”, but to people that take safety seriously and have put in the time and effort to ensure that safety, seeing someone so haphazardly enter these environments and perform these tasks at depth obviously without training or education, just blows me away and I would lose respect for anyone that let it slide just to be nice. This type of behavior cannot be overlooked or ignored as “their problem.” When they inevitably get themselves seriously hurt or worse, it will absolutely be a problem for the rest of us. Training should always come BEFORE the adventure, not after. Thanks as always Woody and Gus. You guys are the best in the business.
My good dive friend would say similar things like; "I don't want to be "the dive police" but I also don't want to be "the dive coroner either".
If I were cave instructor I would buy this guy’s vid copyright so I can use it in my classes for everything you SHOULD NEVER DO, this is the perfect example of “Normalization of deviance” meaning.. every time an undesirable behavior doesn’t result in a problem, it becomes more tolerant; that is how people die…
I will never dive myself but gus and woody are just such cool people I love this channel
The dive talk catch phrase should be:
"Just because you can...
...doesn't mean you should"
Great video again guys ❤️

I really appreciate how much you beat the drum of "dive within your limits," but if you want to go beyond, "get trained"!
Just cone across your channel a couples of days ago love it haven't stopped watching
OMG Thank you for making the partial pressure connection for me! I’m new to SCUBA and couldn’t understand why we were talking about partial pressure formulas. I understood the math and the rules, but didn’t understand WHY! Once you guys mentioned breathing like four or five times the amount of oxygen at 4 or 5 atmospheres, than at 1 ATM, it all just clicked.
I've been binging the videos all weekend. Yall just earned a new sub.
Has anyone else noticed that Gus looks like he has lost a decent amount of weight. Good for him though. :D
Let's do the minimum gas calculation. The agency I train with (GUE) has the following rules:
9m/min to half the maximum depth (next multiple of 3m), after that
3m/min to the surface (3m ascent in 30 sec, 30 sec stop)
Multiply this by the average ATA, multiply by the assumed gas consumption (usually 20L/min, but more for inexperienced divers, especially when stressed), multiply by 2 divers sharing gas.
45m to 21m at 9m/min takes 3min (always round up)
21m to the surface at 3m/min takes 7min
ATA at 45m is 45/10 + 1 = 5.5, at the surface is 1, so average is ( 5.5 + 1 ) / 2 = 3.25 ATA
So, total consumption would be 10 minutes * 5.5 ATA * 20L * 2 divers = 2200L of gas
I didn't get the tank size, but if it's a 80 cuft tank, that's 11L, so 2200L / 11L = 200 bar minimum gas to start the ascent.
Even if they started with 230 bar, that would only leave them 30 bar to get down and do whatever they want to do on the bottom.
And all that is assuming they don't to into a mandatory decompression.
Don't be stupid, get the proper training and gear. With double tanks and a deco stage, this dive would have been perfectly safe.
Also, I hope you all see how those calculations are much easier in metric), you can do this in your head during the dive if you need to. I've been trained to look at my computer, take the average depth and the time, estimate my gas consumption, and only then look at the SPG to check. Your SPG reading should never be a surprise, other than "that's a little lower consumption than the pessimistic calculation, nice!"
Gus you look absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work guys!
Should you be practicing running a reel and tying knots when you have people you are responsible for? Or is that something you do on the surface, get hands on familiar with that gear?
Love this channel. You both work so well together, I've always been afraid of taking part in scuba diving and especially cave diving. but watching you two within the last year has opened my eyes to this Hobby/Sport, and makes me really want to take part, I'm just worried how I'd fare learning this with IBD.
There are audible AH! OH! OoOHHH! Going off rught now nine my truck watching that tie off to "the line" log.
You know I just realized how much knowledge I have from watching you since 30k subs but…you wouldn’t even catch me in a snorkel 😂❤
Diving is my biggest fear, water in general! I would love to try it someday I know I would enjoy it if I get over the hump. Love the videos guys keep killing it.
He said “ your line is just floating in the air” 😂😂😂
You guys give me the experience of hands clinched on the side of my chair. I can't even imagine dawning a wet suit and even going in the water much less a flipping hole with water in it. I love your adventures. May you be blessed exponentially on all of them
Buford is beautiful but know your limits. 2 guys died there the weekend before my CCR training and then it was completely blown out and tanic when we got there. Standing on the top stair one could not see their feet.
@@ScubaGirlsInternational was the tannin in the water related to the deaths?
@@nowasiwassaying...1699 no. Very much the weather. Happens a lot down there. Been a weird year for diving this year. Most of the season has been blown out at multiple locations.
Almost all these guys thumbnails are the classic UA-camr “oh no” hands on the face, like grown men really sit and pose and makes these faces… absolute schmucks 🤣🤣🤣
There are just some activities you can't learn from trial & error. Cave diving being top of that list.
In my padi advanced open water our instructor brought us to a wreck, when I motioned to him that we were at 150ft but even though it was 1998 I knew from my training that we had exceeded our depth limit. We were on a wreck off palm beach.
I don't remember but it started at 80 or 90 and descended probably 170 off palm beach/vero we did a swim through in the 90 to 100 part of our advanced class. Now my instructor was in the British navy and our training in the pool he was very aggressive like the terror instructor in one of your episodes. We circled in the pool which he swam around us and pulled our masks off, turned our air off dropped our weights not an average training, I give him credit for some things except his attitude of blowing off my comments. I believe that trip a mother/daughter senerio the mother was at the surface in panic mode where I grabbed her bcd inflated it told her to put herb mask and snorkle and begun to wave my arms to the boat and he swam over and we got her on the boat. It was never mentioned in class or anything. We should have went over that procure back they they did not use the 1/3 air procedure.It was the 500lb rules. Keep up the good work I have learned a lot from your you tube channel. I just passed my nitrox class and I'm overwhelmed to get back in the water. It's difficult here in South Texas. Sorry for the long message but look forward getting back in .
11:54. I have a question about the flash light. Could you use the strobe affect on a flashlight to get ones attention? Or could you manually strobe your flashlight?
Sure but I think it will be activated by mistake way more than actually used in an emergency, and in an emergency (like you are out of air) the last think you're going to be thinking is "Was it hold 3 seconds for strobe or 3 rapid clicks?", you are just going to go crazy and start shaking the light anyway so what's the point of having a strobe mode?
Classroom learning is now in session with Gus and Woody. Great Job Guys enjoy these videos and learning from the guys who know what they're doing especially as a non diver as myself
Gus and Woody the scuba police, I like that!
chubby guy no longer chubby guy. well done mate.
Great video as always
That man Gus got those extra tanks off him. Good job man. Like a eel going through restrictions now
I know that this isn't the right place but whoah, I was stunned! Gus, way to go on that body transformation, man! 💪💪💪
Would be nice to see you guys react to the Paria diving incident. I know its a little different from what you guys normally react to, but since its been sadly completly ignored by media and the internet i feel it needs more attention and you guys could do that
Gus.. bro.... I clicked the link at the end of the video and it went from you today to you from a year or so ago and oh my goodness gracious me, you have made changes you have be named gustavo and eat Mexican food because it's so delicious to be that fat. You've made some changes though and you're really looking good my man, you should have documented that or done a video series or something.. did you? Where can I watch those videos bro? So inspirational and you don't even mention it.. I don't know anything about you but congratulations I love this I'm so pumped I'm going cave diving tomorrow... Joking i know I need the experience and stuff was just joking. I'm just pumped good on you
I’ve been open circuit all over Florida and the Bahamas - but very few caves because I love the creatures of the sea. I still ❤ this channel, and will try to see Edd when I’m in the panhandle next time
I love this channel so much, I have binged so many of these videos because the topic is so interesting to me and I love hearing different perspectives! And I don’t mean any hate at all; but my one criticism is how in every video, Gus has such an elitist attitude. He belittles divers who make mistakes, says what they are doing wrong in a way that makes it sound like he knows everything about diving and everyone else is an “idiot”. Woody is always so positive and constructive, and I’d be so stoked to hear them both be on the same level.
I got certified at divers cove at 16yrs old...went and dove cozumel and belize.... One of the greatest experiences ive ever had...
Woodys smile
:>)
I dont dive but watched enough of your videos to know what was wrong here. quality video as always 👍
I went MIA from watching dive talk for a little while… I come back and Gus disappeared!! Looking good brother!! 💪🏽💪🏽
I know there are ways of having emergency communications (I.e. shaking flashlight) but have there ever been different color lights used for this? I saw the red head light from one of your other videos in the Cenote and immediately thought that itd be good to have in case of emergencies. A different color I'd imagine would be very alarming if its kept strictly for problems. I also have 0 experience with this stuff tho and I know there are a TON of circumstances that it may not work (especially silt outs) hence why there are hand/touch signals, but why not have that extra layer of safety?
It also has to do with how light travels through the water and how colors become more dull as you go down, but also it comes down to, can you remember what color it needs to be in an emergency? also how do you reliably mount that on the flashlight? also what happens if the flashlight dies? it's an interesting concept but there is a lot that can go wrong with a color method imho.
Hey guys, love your show. Question? Have yal ever Dived at vortex springs before.
Several times
Great video! Crazy what some people will do.
Love your videos guys
Atmospheres, partial pressures and SAC rates are so much easier to calculate when you express dive depth in meters. Why people are hanging onto depth in feet is beyond me.
You guys should do a reaction to the goldrush whitewater show. They dive in rapid glacial water dredging for gold. I think it would be interesting to see what you think about it.
Hello guys:-) Watching your reactions on that video shows me how different our diving practice is in France. At CMAS level 3, which is my diving level with the french diving federation, we dive often at 150ft on a single tank (15 liter) of air. Our limit is 200ft and we operate at 1.6bar of oxygen Pp. I don't know what to think about it... your practice and rules are probably much safer, but on the other hand I don't think we have more accidents and we get to learn how to dive deep and do deco dives that are great to me. Love your channel ! Take care :-)
Are you trained to take a back up pony tank for emergencies? Im american and I trained with PADI. This is not recommended practice for us so I was curious.
Hi @@luv2read247 Our training doesn't include operating a back up source of air no. I know it's not a recommended practice in PADI training which is why I posted my comment. It shows how different our practices can be of the same sport activity! I find it very interesting. Maybe it's cultural with the Cousteau legacy I don't know... I'm just glad I could learn and experience deep dives on air and I love doing them often 🙏
@@ericboutry9488 wow. I know the standards are different for different agencies. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable that deep without a pony bottle but it's cool to see differences in the training agencies for sure.
Early on in my diving career as an advanced open water diver, I did a trip to Vanuatu on the president coolidge.
Towards the end of the trip, once in the flow, warm water, no current etc. We were taken to the mine hole that sunk the ship and the last cargo hole. The Max depth was 70m or 229ft....
Single tank set up, 4 diver plus the guide.. who had to share air with two of the others on the way up. I managed to do the whole dive and Deco on the single cylinder 21%...
Arms felt a little numb otherwise ok (good level of fitness back then) you don't know what you don't know... 😅
Deep dive, in a cave, on a single tank, so he'll run a line to be safe. Im not a diver, but this sounds to me like if I was saying : Ill ride my bike at 100 mph, no helmet, so ill be careful to remain on the safe side.
Yay!!! Startin the day with Dive Talk!❤❤❤
Girls mask was Donnie Darko style. However it should now be renamed to "Donnie DECO".
Missing the bunny ears though.
@@Yggdrasil42 true I shall raise you the inquisitor from red dwarf !
Click on that Buford Springs vid, and Gus expands like if he just came up to surface fully saturated.
Hello Dive Talk,
Have you guys watched Cave Exploring Disaster's video on The Plura Cave in Norway? it is about an hr drive from where i live and in 2014 a dive team of 5 finnish divers with experience had a very bad incident there.
Highly recommend that video. Would love to watch you react to it :)
PS: been watching a buuunch of ur video's here. very entertaining content. even tho i cannot dive due to medical reasons i still learn a lot watching.
Gus/Woody,
It’s mandatory now that you two make, “We’re Only Entertainers” merch. 🤣🤣
Hey guys! I’ve been meaning to ask you this question. Are there any animals when you cave dive that you actually have to be worried about? I know that if you were to dive in a swamp alligators, crocodiles, whatever would be obvious but like in your usual spring cave are there predators? Or if you did an ocean cave, do sharks ever just chill in there?
Stone fish or sea urchins if they’re in the area you’re diving. I don’t know how deep in caves stone fish can live, but they will hide from predators and bury themselves in the sand there. I think it really depends on the location and type of cave you’re in.
LOL @ Gus' reaction to the "tie-off"
Always so fascinating for a total non-diver like me… 👍😊
been watching your videos for a while.. you guys are awesome ... just learned of this new mix that will let you dive to 3,000 meters... all you need two side tanks and an up the ass tank (its just a little one.. doesnt hurt) .. its a wee bet of 02 ,, some hydrogen and a lot of Nitrogen pentoxide....
Hi guys, thanks for another nice video. Can you tell me where is Beaver and where I can find a map of it?
Gus looking slimmer
GUS o__o YOU LOOKING BETTER AND BETTER WITH EVERY EPISODE, NOT THAT YOU DIDNT LOOK GREAT BEFORE 💁♀💁♀💁♀💁♀YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, GOOD JOB 👍👍👍
WEIRD BEHAVIOR.
“Not that you didn’t look good before” but that’s what you’re directly insinuating.
YALL COMMENTING ON GUS WEIGHT ARE SO FUCKING WEIRD. HE BEEN SEXY.
YOU
ARE
WEIRD
FOR
THIS
COMMENT 😐😐
Ok so I've been going down the Rabbit hole of dive talk an I'm loving every single second, I've watched about 16 videos just today alone an I'm very much into the cave diving videos an all, but yall need to react to Scary Interesting's UA-cam channel they have a lot of cave diving stories on there an I'd love to see y'alls reaction keep up the good work guys
how come Woody doesn't have a pink microphone? I think it would make your videos so much better if he had one.
Always fun to jump in without your regulator in. Did I inflate, did I not? At least it's shallow by the walkway.
150ft in proper units is 46 metres, so 5.6Bar. For normal MOD 1.4ppO2, max EANx mix is only 25%; for 1.6 it's 28% as they had. So if you start exerting at 150ft you are not only going to be burning through gas but you're also on the wrong side of the statistics for death from O2 CNS toxicity.
The girl isn't wearing a mask, the camera is narked too!
I’m not a diver, but through watching and loving your content btw , I’ve seen a few things and people that have quite a bit experience seems like make really rookie mistakes. I don’t know if it’s the people certifying them don’t take as much time as it should with each individual. I highly doubt it sad from what I’ve noticed. The diving community is really tight now, and I think people get complacent and I will talk more about that further down With your knowledge in the aim of saving lives, I don’t know you would have to get with your management and all your team and see how you want to do it but you could offer a refresher course via email and say give them five specific topics that you will also answer at the bottom of that refresher course. However, you guys decide to do it whether it’s a slideshow with with the writing or just writing or video format.. and also offer a one on one via zoom i’m going to assume it’s like every other hobby I like hunting there’s always something in season but I don’t get to go all the time even though it’s close so before a big diving trip quit possibly have been out of the water for some months
Looking strong and healthy Gus!
tie line "half-ass-rdly" CROSS-FIT GUS killin me
Gus,you are lookin good man. Losing that weight probably even helps out in the caves fitting places.
Are there rules for own lines and proper cave line? How do other divers know which lines are temporary on a reel and which are usable?
I dove a cenote in mexico on single tank to 135 in a pretty damn sketchy cenote if you want the video lol, but was with a guide who had dove it a few dozen times and had done over 8000 dives across the world. A short edit of it is on my channel
Wow, I truly hope everyone grasps the severity of how dangerous this was.
I cannot understand how two individuals, who I assume are Nitrox certified (how else did they get it?), would exceed MOD so purposefully.
PLEASE STOP DIVING BEYOND YOUR LIMITS AND JEOPARDIZING THE SPORT FOR THE REST OF US.
I know some comments from Woody and Gus and even myself in this comment can come off as “elitist” or “holier than though”, but to people that take safety seriously and have put in the time and effort to ensure that safety, seeing someone so haphazardly enter these environments and perform these tasks at depth obviously without training or education, just blows me away and I would lose respect for anyone that let it slide just to be nice.
This type of behavior cannot be overlooked or ignored as “their problem.” When they inevitably get themselves seriously hurt or worse, it will absolutely be a problem for the rest of us.
Training should always come BEFORE the adventure, not after.
Thanks as always Woody and Gus. You guys are the best in the business.
