No one should use “took dive safety very seriously”, and “chose not to use a guide rope” in the same narrative
Nor "decide to split up to cover more ground. "

😢
well if it wasnt this, he would have done base jumping without a parachute...
@@bunnykiller Almost guaranteed to produce the same results, lol.
I usually presume there's an unspoken "...seriously [by the established standards of the time]."
And amend/append in conclusion "...since this incident, these [repeatedly stated common sense items] have become standard practise. Though it was not until a subsequent incident when [episode hook] that [subset of items] were codified by [limited scope of organizations]; and later by [playlist hook] incidents illustrating why [petitioned organization] is now being asked to make it the defacto standard by adopting similar measures."
"They decided not to use a safety line" as they squeezed through a 3-foot opening to a radioactive cave with homemade flashlights and gear pieced together with odds and ends from the hardware store, to enter uncharted tunnels. "Murray took dive safety very seriously." Hmm...
Murray is like that guy that uses protection with his wife every Sunday . But on tinderwhen she's not looking? Saying that he doesnt use protection there is an understatement lol.
Right! I'm not even willing to call him an "experienced diver" at this point, regardless of how many times he'd gone cave-diving, or the fact that he knew all the safety measures and how important they were to follow.
@@jus10lewissr Maybe he knew all the safety measures but chose not to follow them.
@@abigail1023u know that's worse right?
Objection! He only had *one* homemade flashlight 🤣
“No guide line”. GAME OVER
And "Home made flash light"

Not always.

“uncharted” “didn’t have the training” “spilt up” that’s an interesting way of saying they were all suicidal
They went cave diving in to an uncharted cave without the right level of training and yet I am someone who plans out a one mile walk around the local hiking paths! Some peoples appetite for risk is so much higher than anything I'd ever be comfortable with
wuss
@levitatingoctahedron922 at least they are not dead 😂.
@@levitatingoctahedron922 If taking precautious, being safe and not dying because I didn't get the right training for something makes me a wuss then I wear it with pride.
I'm curious though, what moronic things have you done that means you are not a wuss? Go on, do tell. Any untrained cave diving? Climbed Everest? Go on!
@@gdwnet everest is a hike that rich old people and women go on, not sure why you're acting like it's some impressive feat of bravery.

I don't care how beautiful people claim it might be. I am not going to take that kind of risk just to look at some rocks. I don 't care if they are the prettiest rocks I ever did see.
@@WitchidWitchid😂😂😂
That's exactly what I was thinking 🤔🤔🤔
@WitchidWitchid you clearly haven't seen the right rocks yet
That's what I was was wondering
Born too early to explore the galaxy, born too late to explore the world: born just in time to go missing on cave dives
That's the thing, you're always in time to get lost in a cave dive, from Flintstones to Jetsons.
😂😂😂😂
This is actually sad 😢
Funny tho😂
I use the "Rule of 100%" for my dives, I use 100% of my air on land and 0% in a cave.
I'll occasionally "dive" into the food pantry in my kitchen and never go further than 1 ft past the entrance - just to be safe. Also my family always know where to come looking for me 😂

When I was a novice diver, I was swimming along the bottom of Puget Sound in about 40 to 50 feet of water on a night dive. My buddy diver crossed in front of me kicking up silt off the bottom. No worries I continued swimming along the bottom (or so I thought) for another 30 seconds or so without finding an end to the silt cloud. As I stopped to get my bearings, I raised my head and found I was on the surface, I had no idea I was rising let along the entire 40 or 50 feet to the surface. It's VERY easy to lose your bearings on a dive, cave diving without a safety line is sheer suicide.
being in the water at night is just insane. check yourself about psychopathology before your final stage to menace of society is done. it’s not too late.
Damn!!! you floated (swam) your way to the top …so freaky. makes me think of that russian that sank to the bottom in less than a minute. freaky shit!
@@realmcafee🙄🙄🙄 ok bud
I miss the Puget sound. Spent 10 hrs on Whidbey Island

“They decided to split up” was the moment that I knew that this would end poorly.
old D&D rule. never split the party.
it will always go south.
I dunno, the second i saw the words 'cave diving' I knew this would end poorly! lol
Seems like the Murray was determined and impossible to convince. I
"Viewer Discretion Advised" at the start of the videos is always a good indicator!
No, the moment when they decide not to use the safety line
Stories like this remind me of a demotivational poster my high school English teacher had. It said something like "sometimes your legacy is to be an example of what NOT to do"
Sounds like Stockton rush
F- THAT. Just LOOKING at the diagram of the cave system gave me a panic attack. "Only had ONE light source?!?!". ARE YOU SHITTIN' ME?!?!
I think the full use of the word is appropriate here.
Ikrrrrrrr omgggggg😵😵 Givin me anxiety just thinkin of it lol
It gets worse when you realize they didn't even know at the time what the cave looked like, the diagram is from way later.
Still watching the vid and it's still getting worse xD
I usually take more than 1 flashlight when I'm going on a night hike when I'm camping...and I'm not underwater and have a cell phone in my pocket lol. This dude really never had a flashlight die on him and thought yeah...I trust my life to these batteries!
I would not want to dive in shallow water far from a cave *in broad daylight.
I heard Deathtrap Cavern is a beautiful diving location this time of year.
*"Ya mee tooo ! Im actually here right ...nowjsn...hRrnnnghnglug"*
Suicidal Springs is also a happening spot.
What's in those caves that's so important? A pot of gold? No, death awaits in those claustrophobic caves.
😂
We’re divin’ into Blind alley gloryhole with this one 🔥
It was rumored this area was the most beautiful cavern in the world, and it was past an area nobody has ever gone, mmmm?
Who started that rumor.
I wondered about this as well - I guess one can't fix stupid. I don't understand WHY people do this to themselves 😮
Yes I kept wondering WHY people thought that
This is exactly what I was thinking. If no one had ever been there how would they know it's the most beautiful?
That's such a good point! I had just assumed there was a drone or something that had been sent through and saw something amazing, but this is way too early for that. The other possibility is that some people had made it through and thought it was beautiful? But it super sounds like a tall tale, definitely something that should be thought about more before going into the cave like this.
I like Donald already. "Forget this I want to live!" Leaves back to land.
Don, smart man, He listened to his gut instinct.
Radium Springs, come for the tingly water, stay ‘til you glow!

Cave diving 🚫
Watching cave diving on UA-cam ✅
I concur
It's dangerous enough exploring caves that are not underwater and that are filled with breathable aire. Doing it completely is exponentially more dangerous.
Watching stories of diving disasters ✅✅
I watch these videos on TV while I'm cleaning. My son said, I'm never going cave diving/caving. Mission accomplished lol
Cave diving can be made reasonably safe with proper training. Nearly all cave diving disasters I've seen on YT can be attributed to untrained people making series of beginner mistakes.
Okay so Radium, Cave how many scary words is needed for people to not go in there, it’s a freaking fallout location at this point
we have a underwater cave that is to a good extent still unchartered. how could it be more dangerous? oh, how about making it radioactive.
Probably full of mirelurks.
I know, might as well rename it Dunwich Mine
For this generation yes, but it does actually heal bones, arthritis and bone cancer

Cave diving is probably the worst hobby for someone with a stubborn bend.
Is by far the deadliest "sport".
"Cave diving is probably the worst hobby" you can stop right there and be accurate 😂
And yet it’s one that appeals to them the most smh
Second only to parkour
One of the most dangerous, sure. But I guess the sense of pride and memories are unbelievable if you survive. IF you survive.
The cave map on the lower right is awesome! I often get lost in these stories because I can't picture where they are in the cave.
Like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon RRT all over again.
I agree! I'm sure it's difficult to do but it would be awesome if most UA-camrs did this! It made it so much easier to follow along!
When divers decide to go through passages so small and restrictive that they have to remove their tanks and contort their bodies in unusual ways so they can fit, one has to wonder how many of them really give serious thought to the fact that they're going have to go BACK through that same restrictive passage in order to get out of the cave, but with less air/gas and possibly fighting the onset of fatigue at that point.
Cave diving is pretty risky as is, but to do it with homemade equipment is just insane.
Or a safety line. Why????!
Because it was 1955 and before a lot of the equipment was commercially available, I imagine. A lot of modern cave diving rules + equipment are based off of lessons learnt from past failures, and this was one of the first ever recorded cave diving deaths.
There's one really important rule for cave diving.
Don't.

The cavern was so beautiful that no one who has seen it has returned
The bigger an underwater cave is, the more you SHOULDN'T go in. Why would someone go into an uncharted area of an underwater cave outside of a charting expedition is so beyond me. Recklessness really is the worst enemy in such extreme activities that are already super dangerous even under ideal conditions.
It is in our nature to take risks, to cross boundaries, to dare to try something new. Otherwise we wouldn't be who we are today. Just think what technological inventions are necessary to make such dives possible and what inventions are yet to come that will open up completely different areas of application. Compare it with the desire to be able to fly, which was ridiculed or considered crazy back then.
@@sulcusulnaris all very true, without risk and pushing ourselves there would have been no advancement. I think the main issue here though is not the risk taking, but the sheer recklessness, disregard for planning and safety, and arrogant over confidence which put several people in extreme danger. Murray got what was coming to him TBH
@@FM-hz5sj Absolutely what I wanted to say. The problem is recklessness in an already super-dangerous activity under ideal conditions. Putting other people at risk because of your sole recklessness is so messed up.
It's in our DNA
Its called adrenaline and wanting to be the first. If everyone was like you we would still all be cavemen.
If no one has ever been, how can it be rumoured to be the most beautiful cave ever?
Exactly
Keyword: "Rumored" 😏
Siren call
How can any pile of wet rock be more beautiful than other pile of wet rock?
These guys did nothing safely. They even broke rules of open water diving. Entering an environment they were not trained to enter and not knowing what they needed to know spelled doom.
The rule of two flashlights minimum is outdated, it's now three minimum.
Until they invent glowing wetsuit which gainst evergy from the friction with your skin, no amount of extra lamp is enough...
@@NestorSaliven I mean canister lights can be good for 12+ hours, you'll be running out of gas long before the light runs out, unless you're diving double rebreathers or something(yes, that's a thing for some cave explorers). So you dive with that, and two backup lights, and even just single 26650 powered lights will last for like 2h+ each.
You are ABSOLUTELY indebted to your equipment to keep you alive. Guide ropes, sufficient (MORE than sufficient) lights, etc. Home made diving equipment????????? *facepalm*
Should have brought General Grievious
The same rule goes for brain cells, but they didn't follow that.
I love how often its stressed how safety minded the guy that brought one flashlight and no guildline into a cave not only had he never been, but no one had explored before fully.
I've almost died while Cave Diving, back in the late 90s I regularly Dove in Caves w/o a proper Certification.... didn't have any issues until I did and it almost cost me my life. Like when I surfaced I had maybe 2 mins of air left. Had to skip decompression stops and everything so I got the BENDS BAD. That was the last time I Cave dove uncertified. Take it seriously it's more dangerous than one would expect.
Glad you are ok.
Wow, glad you made it out of there!
Almost ended up on the channel, the certification they require is no joke
Better watching those videos than being featured in one of them
Well I expect it to be extremely dangerous considering how many of these videos I've seen.
"They decided that they would split up shortly after entering"
Ah 🤨. This is off to a wonderful start.
Radium springs? Like, the radium that killed a bunch of people who thought it was a cure-all and made the jaws fall off a bunch of ladies who painted it as a glow-in-the-dark marking on watch hands? That radium? Are we sure they weren’t just trying to get superpowers or something?
I'm reasonably sure that the radium played no part in this event. Radiological exposure is based around the principles of time, distance and shielding. In the case of the radium girls they were exposed all day (time) at close proximity (distance), and some ingested it, removing all shielding and massively increasing effective dose. The dose from incidental exposure in a cave would be negligible.
@@jimb0678 yeah I know. I’m saying it’s like going to “uranium springs” and expecting good things.
@@jimb0678 and also water is a really good radiation shield.
To be fair, those ladies also painted it on their teeth, and licked their paint brushes if i remember right
@@chrism4008 The ladies were encouraged to lick the bristles of the paintbrush to keep the strokes very fine.
Listening to the list of rules they ignored is just WILD!
Not having a safety line from the caves intro is crazy, im okay with high levels of risk, but thats like whitewater kayaking without helmet, life jacket, or drysuit.
Nice analogy but it's not accurate enough. It's more like bungee jumping without the bungee cord or sky diving with out the parachute.
He had the parachute.... just no cords to connect the chute to their packs.
Or kayak
While holding lit dynamite and playing Russian roulette
Remember, thou art mortal....thou art MORTAL! Some people NEED reminding.
Literally saying "Let's split up, we'll cover more ground that way!" shows a startling lack of genre awareness.
Not even Fred would've done that
When the radiation hazard of the location is rendered largely academic by everything else wrong with it.
Water is actually an excellent radiation shield.
Cave diving is just unaliving yourself with extra steps.
An a dollop of terror
Slowly unaliving yourself in what I would consider one of the worst ways possible.
@@Gabes_Game_Cave i cannot imagine
No such word.

🤣
I prefer wing suit BASE jumping in scuba gear straight into the cave….it’s a rush.
Hell yeah brother
That's a pretty funny way to say "underwater dying" 😂
I still dont understand underwater caves as beautiful. Seen one, youve seen them all. 'Oooo, rocks underwater. Look more rocks. And more wet rocks.' Yeah that was worth risking your life; wet rocks.
but PURTY wet rocks?
You mean, radioactive wet rocks
Caves can look very diverse, actually. They do not all look the same. And part of the appeal of diving is being free to explore without judgement, as well as seeing things no human has ever seen before.
But obviously, don’t make your own gear and also maybe don’t go diving at a fast travel point from a Fallout game
I feel the same about caves, but underwater caves (underwater anything really) is just so beautiful to me. Each to their own.
There can also be important historical fossil lying in those caves.
"Made their own gear...". Right... What could go wrong...
That's not so uncommon. Even today very specialised gear is made by the divers. As long as it's up to specifications and regularly serviced.
Gotta be lead lined wet suits when you go to radium springs
@@IreneWY "Homemade flashlight". There are no excuses for this.
@@AdmiralZinjicirca 1955...
Well it wasn't equipment failure so what's the problem? Flashlight, no matter how good it is or how many you have is practically useless once you kick the ground. If there is silt you actually want dimmer light. Very powerful light just makes you completely blind as you only see the silt. If you have like ever driven a car at night during snowing, you know exactly what happens when you turn on heavy lights. You see only the snow as those reflect so much of the light back, blinding you totally.
It's mindboogling that a man with so much experience can show such a monumental lack of judgement. Rest in peace Murray, you died doing what you loved.
Not back then it wasn't. If Murray had binge watched all the vids you have, things would be different. There are things you do today that people in the future will be horrified of.
I think some people just get way too confident after a while. They think they’re so experienced that they can take big risks.
If this happened in 1955 then there is no way dude was a Navy SEAL since they weren't even founded until 1962. He might have been a Navy diver or UDT but he definitely wasn't a SEAL.

Logical contradictions are hard.
The mastercard logo really knows how to navigate cave systems
The suggestion that "they took safety seriously" is strongly contradicted by the prior listing of all the bloody stupid things they did.
Splitting up to save time? Diving into radioactive water? Home made flashlights? Not laying a dive-line? If Murray took dive safety seriously, he'd have turned back with Donald, no matter what he'd miss out on by going on with the dive, especially as he was going into an uncharted cave. Ah, men, adrenline and folly are a deadly trio...
Radium: "I will kill you: just give me some time." Cave: "Hold my beer."
I love the way you tell these tragic stories. You explain things very well so that everything is easily understandable for non-divers like myself, the graphics make sense and makes it easy to follow the divers and see where the cave goes. Best of all, you keep one volume the whole time, there's no loud/soft/loud/soft etc. Thank you for doing these videos and raising so much awareness about diving tragedies and mistakes without making diving seem absolutely terrifying. Great videos, man.

@@appletree7376yeah this
Exploring places little explored is a thrill for many.
I, however, prefer to keep breathing on the surface....
It's an elaborate way of unaliving yourself and your would-be rescuers in the most inconvenient place possible. What's not to like?
Nobody understands suicidal people.
It’s amazing the insight you have to what a person who died was thinking.
Gosh, not using a safety line is insane to me. At least they had a line that helped the others.
1:21 What? If you inhale, you're not "compressing" your lungs, you're filling them. Which is the exact opposite thing you do when you're trying to squeeze through a restriction. You *exhale* to get all the air out to decrease the breadth of your chest so you can fit better. Unless I'm misunderstanding something about this specific squeeze.
I heard that too he had it backwards
Yeah he spoke wrong. I was thinking that too
That panicked feeling is called KNOWING YOUR LIMITS AND LISTENING TO YOUR GUT. No guidewire? Homemade gear?! Not telling people where they were going?! Splitting up?!?! BEING IDIOTS?! Arrogance is a killer. Ugh. I’d never EVER. You go in together, you leave together too…
That little f*kin' red dot on the map really got way the hell off to the right, didn't it
Cave diving is suicidal
Everyone will die one day, you won't live forever.
Well at least i know i will never die stuck in a tunnel underwater
Oof. Never say never. God has a wicked sense of humor.
Watching this is like:
"Murray and Donald had no explosives training but liked exploring explosives factories."
"They decided to enter the explosives factory, lighting the way with homemade wood and oil, hand torches."
"Murray and Donald were both very serious about explosives factory safety."
"They decided not to bring the 'Stops All Explosions' rope with them."
"When Donald felt unsafe, Murray continued on alone into the section of the factory named, "Will kill you if you are alone," but he had a homemade stick figure drawing of a person on paper so he didn't feel alone and continued on."
"Murray died."
Your videos scare me so much. Yet, here I am watching.
I'm from Albany, GA and Radium Springs has been gated over for a long time. The flood of 1994 destroyed the resort and Albany is such a cesspool, there is no interest in redeveloping it.

@@jacobramirez4894 Got me there lol 😂😂
Diving in the ocean, would that be a sea cave😊.
Looks like a Mastercard floating through the tunnel
I got anxiety immediately at the “remove tank, angle your body, and depress your lungs so you can squeeze through “ part. No way!
I’ve been diving b4, and I’ve been caving! Enjoyed both! But no way in hell am I ever cave diving! They’re better left as separate activities in my opinion!
caving is alone a deadly activity, now imagine adding the restriction of limited breathes you could have during caving.
Like a certain man once said
I rather deeptroat a cactus than go into the ocean
A story close to home and I've actually still never been to Radium Springs. Maybe that's why I haven't heard this story. I also didn't know and never dawned on me Radium Springs was named after the element, I thought it was just an original name.
First I thought caving was dumb. Then I thought cave diving was dumb. And now we top them both, with RADIOACTIVE cave diving! (shakes head sadly)

*_It’s has been said to be the most beautiful cavern in the world though no one has seen it…._** First 🚩*
Cave diving most important survival rules:
1. Do not dive into any cave. Ever. For any reason.
...
Got it. Couldn't have said it better. Time to kick back and relax watching others who question the rule that rules over all other rules...
Dude went to the out of bounds area on the map ;/
He leveled up on map discovery
The name "RADIUM" would have kept me away.
Sonic downing music intensifies.
"Hey man, you think this 'Radium Spring' place might be a little radioactive?"
"Nah!"
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
I was just playing that game love the reference 😂
"cave diving is dangerous, but not dangerous enough. let's go incredibly unprepared and pick a place that is infected with radon. sounds like a plan"
Scuba tanks contain "air" (or maybe nitrox, tri-mix, or some other blend). unless the person has a rebreather or the dive is very shallow, they are not going to have a tank of "oxygen".
He also said you had to inhale to compress your lungs lol
@@alecedgerly1277 oops
Alec that was only to squeeze thru a pass.
@@atxchaserwhen you inhale your lungs expand. Smh
Well it was 1955. We're they making blends back then?
“Tight passages must be carefully navigated. Perfect Air management must be used to maneuver compressed, sharp tunnels. It’s extremely dangerous! If you get stuck, you WILL NOT make it out.”
However…….
“They broke every rule there is. They only used one light source, they didn’t have a guide line, didn’t follow the rule of thirds for air management.”🤦♀️
Going to give the whole radioactive cave diving game a miss.
That should be enough to keep people away.
I can do lots of things. Some of them could be considered somewhat dangerous. Going into confined passages full of water is not one of those things.
1:23 Inhaling expands your lungs.
These are called "recreational" activities, but the amount of hard work required makes this anything but.
"they broke all of the rules!"
after this, rules were made
confirming what I've always known... safter rules exist because someone was killed/died that way.
can't break a rule if the reason the rule exists is because of you.
This is yet another example of why I will not go cave diving or spelunking in caves 😂 every since I seen the nutty putty incident I wouldn't even if I was offered a million bucks
"Adrenaline Junkie" was absolutely already a term by this point
They didn't have any Radaway?
Also, homemade euipment? No guideline? Sheesh.
To be fair, this was 1955, and diving safety technology hadn't matured to a point where it was available to buy. But there's no excuse for no guideline!
Who would go anywhere without a safety line when you know that visibility can go to 0 in a second?
...Murray and Donald...that's who!
first warning sign should have been that its called goddamn "RADIUM Springs"
The grass is always greener, over there.
"They took safety seriously." Yeah, no. Apparently not. 🥴
