Gus, you are looking very healthy! Great job with whatever you are doing. Your reaction to our Eagles Nest visit in 2020, coupled with the loss of our friend last year REALLY gives me some haunting time to reflect. I just hope that more and more people can grasp what you are telling them better than we did, before they experience a VERY TOUGH lesson. As we gain experience in our diving, many do feel a sense of "Oh, I'll just go do this real quick...". It is too damn easy to fall into that mentality and justify or minimize things that we just SHOULD NOT DO. We have found ourselves victims of preventable circumstances and unfortunately, you don't see it coming until it has gone past the point of no return. I just pray that new divers and newly certified cave divers will be more diligent than we were and heed your advice.
That video was about your friend? I'm sorry 💜
Rest in peace to you friend man. ❤
@@anthonypalazzi6255 thank you so much. This weekend will be the 1year anniversary of his passing. It still hits pretty hard.
Wow sorry for your lost as a nY’r from Manhattan and now resident of FL I was really hoping for the best 😢
@@awkwardautistic this video was not about my friend but hits very close to home with his passing. Thank you for your condolences.
Woody's chair voted the most comfy on UA-cam, 2023.
I work in mining and every procedure and rule we have is there for a reason. Unfortunately a great many of them have injuries/tragedies behind them. It is sad when people find out the hard way why some rules are there. RIP to the two poor men and condolences to their loved ones.
My chief engineer got his arm ripped off by a water tight door on a container ship
He thought it was opening but it wasnt
After he said he had made a small lapse of concentration and not followed the correct procedure
They open and lock and the green light goes on, always follow procedures
it's so unfortunate what happened but I appreciate you guys turning these things into teachable moments, it's important to bring awareness to these things and also to give more context to people who may not be as familiar with it. thank you! ❤
I’ve been watching you guys everyday since I randomly stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago. Thanks for the great content! I’m not a diver and I’ve never been interested in diving but now I’m hooked. Maybe one day I’ll take a recreational diving class but for now I’ll stick to telling my husband random diving fact’s I’ve learned from my pals Gus & Woody!
My understanding of cave diving is that there is no room for 'mavericks' or risk takers. It is a long studied and practiced hobby that has build up a set of ridged rules and lore that must be followed to the letter, there is no wriggle room. But cave diving really does show how humans are, we have accidents, make mistakes and take risks. However much more information gets put in the rule book there will sadly be deaths every year due to humans being human. Sad they died, they never intended it, the fear and feeling of isolation must have been crushing.
I've watched so many of your videos & I've never gotten the impression that you think you're better, know more, whatever. I don't dive yet but when I decide to do, I'm so 100% sure that following the rules will be my #1 goal during all diving activities. Your channel is amazing, entertaining, very informative and really fun. You teach every video. You've shown your mistakes for us to learn from also when you didn't need to. So your YT family absolutely thanks you for this excellent quality channel. ❤
What makes your critique valid is it always points to how breaking from fundamentals can be the most dangerous thing you can do.
In almost every case, some aspect of the fundamental do & don't leads to a chain reaction that results in a fatality. So, being strict fundamentalists, you're able to recognize why those practices are necessary and provide insight into how they could've prevented tragedy.
Never have i taken your opinions as judgments. They're simply a reminder of why we have such standards in an activity with so little margin for error. So I'm glad you two serve to analyze and explain to prevent future losses.
Ginnie Springs is part of the spring fed flow that blesses North Central Florida. It was a float down the Itchetucknee, a swim with manatees. Ponce deLeon called this cool fresh flow through a sweaty salty land...the fountain of youth.
I've had some things going on lately and haven't been to your channel for a bit, and WOW Gus, you look wonderful! Seems like you've slimmed down and just look generally healthier. Not that you didn't look good before, but I know how tough it can be to get any weight to budge and try to build more muscle, ESPECIALLY once you've gone beyond your 20's and early 30's. Congrats for what I'm sure is a well earned change for the better! It's always motivational to see others getting healthier, particularly in the face of the dark "pandemic" BS the world has just been through. Woody and yourself are so amazing to listen to. You can ALWAYS count on some smiles and good vibes here at Dive Talk! Some of us aren't divers at all, so please don't apologize for breaking things down to the details. People like me couldn't get a good mental grasp on the topic, otherwise. It's important. Love to both of you and yours!
Great video guys, some really good points with the sometimes caves can be safer. I can't say I've ever looked at it that way.
I remember the very first time I went into a cavern in blue grotto. The fear of not having clear skies above you is real and sets in fast!
Regardless of your regardless of your own skill level as cave divers, you guys have a natural ability to communicate through this medium. I'm not even a diver. Just enjoy listening to your discussions. You guys are very skilled doing this show.
The remaining calm and handling the situation logically reminds me of being an EMT. You absolutely cannot panic or the situation would get out of control very quickly.
I couldn’t go snorkeling. Yet alone cave dive. I tried snorkeling in the Keys close to shore and just to get use to it. Swam out and all the sudden the ground disappeared and it was a void. I had reached a cliff like edge. I freaked out and began swimming towards the shore. That’s when I knew… nope. Now I’m scared of the ocean. Too big and unpredictable. I’m good on land. I enjoy these videos though.
Calling anything the "mount Everest" of anything just makes me think its filled with corpses, like mount Everest XD
Whenever they show a grainy picture of you, you know you’re dead.
Both u are very smart in the way that u follow every rule to cave diving , plus u stay together in an effort to look after each other. It's like riding a sports bike all your life , if you want to survive riding your motorcycle for 20 or 30 years is that you have to follow certain rules , like not coming over a blind hil going 250 or 300 km per hour. That's one of the most important rules , I know at least 10 guys that died coming blind over a hill and boom , someone pulling out of there driveway or doing a u-turn. Every sport or Hobbie a person does there are rules involved . It's like I'm not wearing a life vest because it's not cool. Yeah because drowning is cool .
Your comments is what makes these videos extra awesome. I don’t dive, never have and never will. I am afraid of big body of water. When I’m in a plane and on top of big body of water I don’t look out the window. But I find your videos to be entertaining, funny, and educating. I found your channel through Mr Ballen.
As a guy who has 0 interest in cave diving myself i appreciate the matter of fact frankness that you use to explain cave diving
damn gus dropped a lot of weight from 1 year ago in the other video, lookin good gus!
Back to your bread and butter!
I am not a diver and was drawn to Dive Talk because of my curiosity. I wondered why people enjoy cave diving because it seemed terrifying. You have done your job well. I have major respect for your focus on responsibility. I will go prepared when hiking in grizzly bear country and it makes perfect sense that cave diving is safe for those who are properly prepared. Not just going to climb Mt. Everest Willy nilly either.
Mr Deified always puts up tragedy themed videos. I appreciate your take on this one and all the others you discuss. It lets viewers have a balanced view on the tragedies. There is more than one way to think
Back in Nam we flooded several sections of tunnels and we had to dive in looking for intel. The murky silt and mud mad it nearly impossible. We lost a few men that got lost in the tunnels then we got smart and started running air lines for unlimited air supply. People still got lost but could eventually make their way back out. Sometimes there were lots of bodies of the enemy in the tunnels. All I can say is fudge that if asked to do that again.
Love the commentary and the way you guys teach
Two of my favorite channels combined! Nice!
Skydiving is the same, when things go wrong you should be busy, way too busy to panic. If not, you should be doing something else. Lots of people survive malfunctions, and training is a big part of that.
I will never get why you would go cave diving without proper training. You wouldn't parachute on your own just because you saw it on tv. And to that, you're not only risking your life. You're risking the life of everyone who is searching for you and trying to get your body back
On a side note, any chance "Jetski go boom" is still in the works?
@scaryinteresting is a far more soothing form of the cave diving gone wrong videos.
I know that a lot of people who watch these videos that are not divers (not one myself due to medical issues and needing to get my doctor permission) and just say the simple thing "This is why I don't dive" or "what were they expecting?" as if it is a deathtrap. Then that thought gets cemented in their heads and it turns to "we need to shutdown this cave! One death is too many!" while they are smoking their cigarettes or drinking their booze or even about to skydive. The fact that Woody wants people in that hobby or area to self regulate instead of just closing it down and making it illegal is something everyone can understand. Do you really want people outside of your hobby/job/skill set/area to tell you to stop doing that thing they never did because it sounds dangerous?
Ha ha right! I watch you guys BECAUSE you talk. That's the point! 😂 It's not called Dive Docs...
I’ve never dived and I’ve never wanted to dive. I probably never will. But I watching your videos pretty much saved me at the darkest point in my life. I’ll see you in the caves.
Gus you are looking slim and trim! Keep up whatever you're doing because it's working! Maybe you can share your secret with us landlubbers! 😅
Holy cow gus looks amazing!
9:45 I've been watching a lot of Dive Talk recently (tho I have 0 desire to dive myself) and I think this is the best explanation of cave diving safety Woody has ever given. This should be a disclaimer in every video where people could be commenting that you're arrogant.
How do I get that white T shirt that Gus has on? With the small logo over chest? You guys should carry that one in the store, & more of just small logo on the front.
Not even a diver, but I love your videos. You guys have such a good rapport as co-hosts. I enjoy watching cuz I feel like I’m hanging out with friends. If you’re ever in northwest Indiana, we should grab a beer on me…
I remember watching this when it was put up and wondering if/when you two would react to it
Saying something is the mount everest of something should really make people more apprehensive. That mountain is covered in bodies of very experienced hikers that knew what they where doing and had the right equipment and they still died, because that mountain is dangerous.
Thank you for the video. Gus, Idk what diet your on but your sticking to it! Keep it up. Let me know how to lose that kind of weight!!
Bottomless is just a colloquialism for something extremely deep.
Also been binging your videos, this channel is producing the best "experts react" content out there!
Your friends need to be able to tell you to kick rocks. Not one of my friends would hesitate to tell me I’m messing up.
Hi Gus and Woody from a Kiwi mate.
Don’t think that you come across as the “ oh no it’s the dive talk guys” , because if 1 diver has listened to you guys, who give excellent advice in all your talks, and reconsidered a potential bad mistake , you both saved that dudes life.
And I’m sure that’s happened more than once.
Also I don’t think they should close caves for the same reasons you mentioned.
And you guys are humble and it’s one of reasons I watch ya’s
Keep up the great work
Hey Gus looking good looks like you lost some weight keep up the good work love these shows
You're not here to please people, you're here to save lives. The people that stay and listen are the only ones worth your breath.

Thanks for your vid- always enlightening.
My absolute favorite guys ❤❤
thank you for using meters!
Panic attacks can happen for no real reason... some people are prone to them. Some people are good at handling panic attacks, some people aren't.
AYYY GUSS AND WOODY YALL SHOULD REALLY TRY TO THE GAME SUBNAUTICA ITS ALL ABOUT DIVING AND GETTING NEW GEAR TO DIVE DEEPER BUT YALL WOULD LOVE IT THERES EVEN A WAY YALL COULD PLAY TOGETHER TRYNA GO CAVE DIVING ON AN ALIEN PLAENT?
ua-cam.com/video/GsROay_NI0Q/v-deo.html
HERES A VIDEO OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
“Don’t Talk So Much!”
Say wor!
…
FWits!
U do u guys - all is well - thanks for vid.
woah i havent watched a dive talk in a bit . is gus alright ? bro is looking skinny af lately hopeful he's just in better shape he looks good !
Just trying to get healthier, thanks for asking
No way! Understand your enjoyment of this, it has to be magical, I am not good in spaces like that! Hats off to you that do!
I can’t follow the video sometimes because there’s too many people talking over the narrator. Can we pause the video if we want to interject or have a discussion regarding something the narrator says?
Gus looks like he is losing weight, damn!
Saying that someone as experienced as Woody still having two inflation emergencies different sets of inflators definitely doesn't help the case that diving isn't as dangerous as everyone makes it out to be XD stay safe guys!
No man likes to admit the panic factor but, well, that's why I won't do this sport. I will panic. For sure.
You and me both. I'm not a man... but same lol
For sure I would...
Ditto! You would think a cave would sooth my raging thallassophobia... turns out you can "collect" as many as care to tag along. (Turns out there's no limit to the number a person can have) lol I suspect that large bodies of water are the backbone of those phobias
@@Stephanie-we5ep the only true phobia that I have is worms lol... but still, I know I would panic because I freak out even if I just get stuck in a piece of clothing!
@@awkwardautistic I understand, anything compressing my nose, (like, oh I don't know, a mask lol) makes me feel like I'm being smothered and about a second later panic.
Unforgiving is a great way to explain it... and I honestly don't think you guys come across as narcissistic at all. You both seem down to earth and humble.
most cave and mine explorers are "down to earth" lol
Like #💯
I agree ❤
this kind of critical self reflection already proves that in my opinion.
they know what they are talking about and are able to dumb it down enough for me to understand without being condescending at all. one of my reasons for subbing even though i have no clue about diving at all.
Agreed, there is a difference between arrogance and being confident in your knowledge on a subject. Especially when lives in are involved, its a no games type business. And should be approached with a military like reverance.
1. Keep talking. 2. If people get mad because you are helping future divers make less mistakes then they shouldn’t watch. Keep up the great coverage.
Certified full cave in 2000 and I didn’t set foot onto Eagles Nest property for 13 years …. Well worth the wait and the experience I gained in that 13 years of actively cave diving was priceless when I made my first dives at the Nest !!!
So, do you suppose so many are impatient to, well ---- dive into caves, out of arrogance ("I'm an instructor" or "I'll be fine if I only go a little ways in" or whatever they say to justify doing the thing that they're explicitly warned not to do) or ?? They are warned not to go into caves without proper training, and *still* they do it.
edited to add, it's like they lose track of the basic truth that water isn't our world. The fact that we merely *visit* an alien (in the sense that water is deadly unless we bring air/gas), is part of the reason that people dive.
By that point I had several hundred cave dives and quite a few certifications beyond “Full Cave”… Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Trimix 1, Trimix 2 … just to name a few. Things were much different then than they are now though …. Primarily, rebreathers weren’t in common usage then so everything was done with open circuit equipment
depth is always whispering : come come 😅
Wow, u got cave certified 2 years before I was born.
You guys are great man. I wouldn't worry about what others THINK. Those that watch and have ANY amount of empathy can see that both Gus and Woody go above and beyond to show humility and say "this is what I would do" or "We don't know what all they knew". ANYONE with empathy can see you are both good guys. You can't please everybody.
Its amazing how gay men like woody have so much more empathy than most straight dudes that still have toxic masculinity
I am the furthest possible thing from a diver 😂 (Disabled and stuck in bed most days) But I have found your channel so fun to see into a world I’ll never be able to be. I can tell how much you guys care about safety and everyone’s true enjoyment and respect for diving. Keep up your kindness and honesty. 😊
You guys have become my comfort channel. I love learning from you both, your commentary is great, and it's nice to hear a friendly voice when I'm down or stressed. Thank you both for all that you do!
Same !!!
Same. 🩷
I was scared of cave diving, now I have a rational respect of it. I have a basic understanding of rules I had no clue of before and the most important being to not dive outside of what I’m trained for. This is all because of y’all. I know plenty have said it but don’t worry woody and Gus, y’all are doing great.
The duality of personality makes this channel great entertainment.
The professionalism makes it great education.
So... funny story. I started my diving journey when I was 17. About a week after I started my lessons, my dad (a certified cave diver) gave me a book. It was a book all about people dying while diving. As I've heard many aviators say, The rules are written in blood. It really highlighted the seriousness of the hobby and offered some great lessons. I think the number one lesson I took from the book was: Never attempt something beyond your training.
Way too many stories of open water divers dying in caves or wrecks or something...
Safety rules are written in blood. Kind of common expression, but I feel like it's a million times more true for (cave) diving.
And the last point, regulation usually isn't the solution. People are going to break the rules. What you need to do is educate them about the dangers.
I watch the channel this video came from. He does his homework, always very informative. That being said, you guys add your own views and experiences and this video in particular was an awesome one. I think you guys do a great service to others that may want to get involved in cave diving. Cheers.
"Cave diving is so deadly" is what i though when i found these disaster stories. Thanks guys for educating me!
I get lost exploring a wreck in subnautica and panic. Cave diving is not for me but I find it fascinating to watch.
*leviathan noises in a cave*
You guys are awesome! I have a huge fear of all things water related and you guys through your confidence, storytelling and overall enthusiasm on the subject of diving has made me feel a calmness I've never had. Definitely hope that one day I can get into this sort of thing. Can't wait to see you guys grow in popularity!!!
An urge that many cave divers (and wreck) have when seeing a possible "lead" is to go take a "quick look" with the idea of "if it goes" they will then go back to the line and tie off an exploration reel and then go back down the lead. It's REALLY tempting and I won't even claim that I haven't been tempted and even done (I learned not to do the hard way).
It's a REALLY BAD habit, the quick look can turn into a low vis situation REALLY quickly and the outcome REALLY bad.
If you see a lead, take the time to tie off a reel and use it. If you find doing a tie off and reel takes too long than the truth is your reel/line skills are too weak and you need to start practicing more. With practice deploying a reel, doing the tie off, doing your look then reeling up and untying back at the main line won't even add a full extra minute.
Cave instructor evaluator TDI #17
To me you come off as reasonable professionals, nothing less, i wish i could be your student because of how professional and properly cautious you are.
I discovered this channel randomly and instantly became fascinated. I absolutely hate water so I know I will never cave dive, you couldn't pay me to do it. But I love every video you guys put out and find the knowledge and opinions you share are invaluable to anyone wanting to start diving. Not to mention you guys are hilarious! Don't change anything you're doing, just keep diving and have fun!
I feel the same!
-Nondiver here-
In response to your final minutes concerning how the audience interacts with your reaction to these videos…. Please don’t ever stop talking about what went wrong! ❤Y’all are always so humble, making sure to acknowledge your own shortcomings, you acknowledge there is often missing context to these videos- but overall I have never sensed any form of condescension or tone that should insinuate your superiority over others, nope! I don’t hear or see it in either of you, I see confidence and that can often clash with audience members that have their own variation in opinion or understandings -about what is being discussed.
❤Don’t stop reacting, it’s why the majority of us are here.
Eagles nest is a different level of Florida cave diving. The depth is really the biggest hurdle. Dives to 300+ feet require training beyond just full cave. It’s a bucket list dive for me, but I know I have many more cave dives and much more training before even planning this dive. I’ve been diving for 20 years, but this is definitely beyond my skill level.
I love seeing new videos!
You guys NEVER come off as narcissistic. You are possibly saving lives.
AND you are clearing up common misconceptions. I would have NEVER considered diving, let alone cave diving. I live in land locked missouri. I was always taught that the ocean was a death trap.
I have now visited Florida multiple times as an adult. I have even gone snorkeling with rehabilitated sting rays...im now considering taking diving classes on my next trip...and thats thanks to you guyz. . I now share my love of the ocean with my kids. I don't want them to fear something so magnificent. All I tell them is...be aware of your surroundings, never panic, listen to instructions, never think you are above the rules, and RESPECT mother nature and what she has created. I feel like you 2 are saying the exact same things to your viewers. Some people just don't like the truth.
Just saw that you guys reacted and I'm so happy now! You guys are the best!
Thank you for another great episode!
Once you’ve had a panic attack, you need to explore why you’ve got anxiety. Do you have heart problems and need beta blockers? Do you have a stressful job or marriage? Do you have PTSD? What’s really going on with you? You don’t want to be uncontrollable in a dire situation. If I’d ever had a panic attack in an aircraft back when I was a Jumpmaster, I’d have been very alarmed and would have sought serious help before putting myself and other jumpers in danger.
I think it's where training and experience comes in, and why it's so important for activities like this. It's also important to understand what a panic attack or anxiety is, and what might trigger it. So my first parachute jump was a simple static line jump from 6,000ft. I'm not really a fan of heights, but it was a 2 day course with a drop at the end. All was fine, I was confident, until I was sitting on the floor of the aircraft and we were climbing. Then I was 4th out, and remember clearly getting more and more nervous as I was shuffling closer to the door. Then sitting in the door, legs dangling out, I was turning to the instructor, about to say "I can't do this", they said "Go!", and I was gone. Then once I'd landed, I wanted to go again.. And many jumps later, with a few malfunctions along the way, I think I've managed to overcome my fear/anxiety. Which is natural, after all you're abandoning a perfectly serviceable aircraft.
But I also dived, and booked myself on a cave diving course. I dry cave, and wanted to try cave diving. I'd heard about Eagles Nest, and I wanted to dive that.. But I realised my problem. It's not really anxiety/panic. I've dived, I've caved, I've climbed, I don't mind taking risks, and I loved exploring. But like Gus and Woody said, cave diving is a different beast and an incredibly unforgiving one. So with things like the rule of 3, I'd be tempted to dip into my reserves because it's going well, I won't need them and I want to see what's over there.. which is something you just can't do in a cave. Maybe I'd get away with it a couple of times, but that would probably lead me to take more risks, then end up on a video like this.
So I figured cave diving isn't for me.
I think anxiety is natural, and there are drills and techniques for managing that, along with recognising dangerous stuff like being narced. Having a routine helps I think, so check comp, check gauges, check line, check buddy etc. All fine? All good. I think those routines help overcome anxiety because they focus your mind on what you should be doing. If something isn't fine, then it gets a whole lot easier to panic, but that's where the training kicks in and what to do in that situation. It's also where experience helps enormously, and you develop a kind of split-brain, where part of your mind is focused on the job in hand, but part is also keeping an eye on your subconscious. So monitoring stuff like breathing and heart rate, and if that's starting to spiral, focusing on getting that back under control with breathing or meditation tricks.
I suffer severe panic attacks because of ptsd but I'm typically very calm in an emergency situation. I just get hyper focused on what needs to be done. It's strange. You'd think emergencies would set off the panic attacks but it's often when things are calm and relaxed that I get anxiety and panic attacks.
Woody did really well explaining that you aren't saying you are perfect divers, just that when you don't follow the safety guidelines, you increase the danger as a result.
Florida has mountains! Or do "Space Mountain" and "Splash Mountain" not count?
Hey guys, ignore those kind of people. As your channel calls: it's Dive talk you are great guys. For me and I believe I'm not alone if I say you are guy's who dive by book and no cutting corners as we say in UK things twice do it once. You are great example to know how to dive. As usually Thank you for great content.
You guys never come across like you think you're better than anyone. You're simply reacting to a video on a topic that you are both well versed and knowledgable about. I truly enjoy watching your videos you both seem so down to earth.
I'm not going to cave dive... Not because I believe it is inherently dangerous, but because I am not suited to it! I will panic
Interesting and informative, Thanks for giving your impressions. Don't let the critics bug you, you are great and well worth the time to see what you guys have to say.
Dude is panicky , so let’s go to eagles nest . Great idea -
I gotta say I'm not even remotely interested in becoming a diver but I love watching your videos. It is entertaining in something very technical and unfamiliar that I find interesting. Love y'all's work it is obviously your passion!
I really enjoy watching your channel, it helped me learn so much about open water diving & cave diving. I think you guys do a great job highlighting the importance of proper training and practice. You are both very humble towards the sport. I personally was a scared fan of deep diving even though I am a great swimmer. But I now understand how much prep goes into each dive. Also Gus, you make this channel funny and more entertaining. And we can all we the transformation your going through. You are a lot smaller and I'm sure it makes you feel more agile in the water and healthier in general. Keep up your good work. But don't get too small man, the bigger Gus gives you the look of a nice and kind version of yourself. Also its amazing how raw and in edited your videos are. Good teamwork to woody too.
Long time lurker, first time commenting. I love listening to you two exactly because you are humble, cautious and polite in your commentary and focus on education and safety, not criticising individuals.
Thank you for your commentary! Keep it up, it is excellent.
32:52 I think Oscar Wilde’s legendary quote would suit here: “laws and rules are for idiots, the rest of us use common sense “
You guys are awesome, learning lots from you.
✊🏻🇸🇪
I’m an opera singer who has never had any interest in diving at all, but I find the way that y’all talk about anxiety reduction, is actually pretty helpful 😂
Opera singing can feel like drowning sometimes, and the stakes get high, so I get hella anxiety, and I find your techniques to stay calm in scary situations, has helped me “breathe better”, and take in more air as I sing through long repetitive phrases- so Thank you!! Hahaha
You guys look very healthy in this video, good luck in your summer dives!
No one with small children should be engaging in ANY sport where the probability of death is as high as it is with cave diving. Nothing is 100% safe, of course. SMALL CHILDREN NEED THEIR PARENTS!
Engaging in extreme sports can WAIT a few years until your children are old enough to remember who you were to them, and how much you loved them. And it's the epitome of SELFISHNESS to leave a partner with the sole responsibility of raising YOUR children!
Weird how your show is called Dive TALK and people think you talk too much
I'm not a diver at all, I think it would be fun, but after everything you two have said, I would get training and work my way up for sure.
Thanks for your videos / channel guys love your honesty and can see your passion for cave diving and educating ppl without any ego or arrogance keep up the good work from Downunder Australia
I can get over Gus’s transformation!! You look awesome dude keep up the good work..
I hope someday I can get into cave diving. It will be a while though. My parents and girlfriend aren’t too keen on the idea
Edit: not that showing them Edd Sorenson’s videos taking about rescues and body recoveries helps the matter
For me personally, I never seem to get an air of "cocky•ism" or narcissism from your guys reviews. Just a couple of guys talking about diving, in a cave or out of a cave, and passing on your experiences and learning just like everybody else. I know that you guys know that anything could happen to anybody at anytime. Wow, listen to me… I sound like Kamala Harris. Anyway, ignore the hate if there is any and thank you for the content!!!
