After watching Gus and Woody do this - was wondering when we would see Birdman give it a go. Awesome visuals as always team! Your professionalism and skill in the water is inspiring. Love it!!!!
This has to be the best video ive ever seen from y'all. My jaw is on the floor. How did y'all manage to get so many amazing shots while CAVE DIVING?! This is insanely good
I was there in December filming the mine! It's so cool to see BlueWorld somewhere that I'm familiar with. I've always wanted to see you dive Bonne Terre...great episode!
Thank you guys, that was stunning as usual. What a joy to watch some of the best photography I've ever seen for free. There's nothing on TV that compares to your talent Jonathan.
Just mind blowing!! Beautiful Blue World!! You guys continue raising the bar …. Now with no other than the legend Mike (I’m watching this while resting from my day 3 of my Sidewinder training 😊)
How incredible and surreal! It always spooks me seeing divers in such massive spaces. The bottles and tools in particular were haunting, thank you so much for sharing! All your videos have so much work into them, easily one of the best channels on youtube! Thank you guys.
I just did this earlier in the year! By far one of my most favorite dives. My personal favorite part of the mines is the redwood forest. I hope you all were able to see that part!
As a little kid I would love to watch your vids on my dads phone and every now and then I just check out your Channel to check how your doing thanks for all the good memories as a kid
Remember this when gus and woody did it but good to see again with your awesome filming skills and nice to see the sidewinder is being out in good use and also nice to see Mike in this one also. keep bringing those excellent videos out guys
Hi Measly FurBall. Bruce Zimmerman (Zimmy) here-the composer for Blue World. So glad you appreciate the music I do for these episodes. This one was especially fun as it had so many spooky scenes.
@@BruceZimmermanMusic Oh my gosh, hello! Your music for this episode genuinely gave me goosebumps. It was the perfect mix of terror and wonder. Hope you continue to create such wonderful music and hope you have a good day :)
Mike is a good friend of ours and it was nice to get a chance to dive with him again. Last time we dove together was at Devil's Hole when I was making Ancient Caves.
Ever since I first visited the Bonne Terre mine a few years ago it's always been my dream to go back and dive it. In fact that was large part of the reason I got my scuba certification. This is, by far, the best footage I've seen of it! Thanks so much for sharing.
been watching you videos on and off since i was about 9, spent 2 years mowing lawns to save up for my own certification, and a couple more years after that slowly purchasing my own gear and tanks. now i’m 17 and cleaning boat bottoms and replacing zincs and props for a living, and looking into opening my own dive tour business out of rhode island in the next year or two
What an amazing job you guys did. I love how you tell the story of the mine along with the story of your adventure inside. The video does such a great job of capturing the beauty of this place.
Wow, I am just amazed that you always find great things to explore! Thats from someone who has subscribed to your channel for YEARS! You inspired me to be a Diver!
Dove it last Sunday… words are enough to describe, I’m a new diver and it was scary m but you forget to stay scared because of insane experience of everything around. Guide Steve was out of the league, how does he memorize all the trails is incomprehensible. 109% coming back to dive deeper into it
Never knew you'd find a dive site in missouri, practically the middle of nowhere ! Such a hidden gem ! Who knows what other sites you could find just round your street ?
Thanks for the interesting video, I enjoyed it. Reminds me of how great a place is the nearby Montola Limestone Mine, where I have dived for the first time in 2006 and worked, among other thing , as an event organizer,kilometers of corridors, the depth of the main shaft is more than 200 meters
Awesome. I am a relatively new sub and watched the one video where you all explained the vids come out once a month. Then i noticed there were coming out 2x a month and I'm like well totally rad... Because I need blue world more than just 1x a month!
That place looks so foreign its hard to imagine anyone ever existing in there. I kind of feel bad for the fish if its the only one. Someone should take it to a lake. Awesome video, incredible diving and filming is just amazing. Especially the oxide smoke.
That's kind of common in caverns. It keeps the open water certified divers from going into places they don't belong. The open water parts of the mine are already lit from above.
Seriously cool dive. The clouds of suspended material in the water was the type of image only nature could create. Has there been any study done on lead content in the water and repeated immersion in that environment? Thinking more about the diving guides than a one off dive with minimal skin area exposure.
In theory, the lead in the mine is mostly contained as ore in the rock, and it doesn't readily dissolve into water. It's the refined lead (and the refining process) that can more easily contaminate water.
I work in the mine as a guide. Lead is not soluble in water so what little lead in it just sinks to the bottom. Also within that most of the lead us in the form of Galena which is a sulfide of lead which essentially makes it biologically inert. This makes the water safe to drink for the most part.
@scubasteveandunderwaterroc3547 thank you for the feedback. That is really interesting and glad it is safe for you all. What a great place to show divers around.
it would be a shame to watch this on my monitor I leave a like and will watch it later on a large oled tv the quality is too amazing, who would have tought someone would make such amazing underwater recordings 30 years ago ? thank you for sharing places I will never visit irl
thanks for finding such places. we need to extract such materials immediately. who can we work with only? we could redo the area for cave divers who want to beautify the area with more appropriate meterial systems, even for future tourist styled appearance❤ I love you Jonathan bird, such a good example in our lives. I feel blessed because of you and your kind of special dedication❤
You guys should talk to the owners of the crystal gold mine in Kellogg Idaho. They have lots of stories and speculation about why the mine was closed. The short story is it was found by a man digging into what he thought was a natural spring, eventually he uncovered the entrance to a late 1800s mine. After the water subsided some he went into take a look and he found all sorts of old equipment including air pumps and several hand tools. They speculate that the mine flooded while it was in operation trapping some miners. There is a lower section that’s never been investigated further. I’m sure if y’all talked to them they would let you make a short film
After watching Gus and Woody do this - was wondering when we would see Birdman give it a go. Awesome visuals as always team! Your professionalism and skill in the water is inspiring. Love it!!!!
Their video inspired us!
Gus and woody did it? I need to find that video
Its always a good time when mr bird goes diving again.
Especially for me!!! :)
this is the man who made my childhood worth living.
Aw!
This has to be the best video ive ever seen from y'all. My jaw is on the floor. How did y'all manage to get so many amazing shots while CAVE DIVING?! This is insanely good
That's what we do man!! :-). Thanks!
The water is insanely clear, even for a cave
man this is the best episode of your recent cave diving vids, the mine was epic. Would love to see more in the future!
I was there in December filming the mine! It's so cool to see BlueWorld somewhere that I'm familiar with. I've always wanted to see you dive Bonne Terre...great episode!
Did you release the episode? I haven't seen it yet.
@@BlueWorldTV yep! Here’s one of them: ua-cam.com/video/mZqtBMU5vU8/v-deo.html
It’s incredible how well water can preserve things.
What an amazing episode. Blue World never fails me.
I'm so glad you liked it!
Great video Blue World! Thank you so much!
that was surreal.... great job per usual guys!
I’m a kid and I’m watching your videos and now you inspired me to be a diver ❤
Long time mine diving enthusiast from Sweden. This video was awesome!
Best channel for fisheries students
That is so awesome especially the rust smoke
I watched him every day when I was 3-8
Thank you guys, that was stunning as usual. What a joy to watch some of the best photography I've ever seen for free. There's nothing on TV that compares to your talent Jonathan.
Aw shucks, thanks Sal!
These videos should last 2 hours each, awesome stuff, mind blowing.
Wow what an amazing diving adventure! 😮
The still cloud effect is SOOOO cool.
What a crazy dive spot
One of the most breathtaking incredible dives you have ever done jonothan thank you for taking us to this adventure with you i really mean it !
Thanks!
Wow... Those frozen clouds would make a very cool cinematographic effect in a scifi movie!
My childhood❤
Same😢
@@zizoplay_ssame😊
Same
Same here I thought I was the only one in 2016 I swear brings me back to middle school bro
I'm glad you all grew up with this! I wish this was part of MY childhood but oh well :D
Thank you for showcasing this place! One of my favorite childhood memories ❤
Blue World TV and Under Sea G are 2 of my favorite diving channels!
I’ve found my purpose in life. I’m going down that mine
This is awesome not to mention as safe as cave diving can be. With proper training.
Just mind blowing!! Beautiful Blue World!! You guys continue raising the bar …. Now with no other than the legend Mike (I’m watching this while resting from my day 3 of my Sidewinder training 😊)
Mike is quiet...and powerful. Like a Jedi master.
Amazing job... Like always... 💪 thanks jonathan...💕
This is the coolest place ever to be able to dive!!
How incredible and surreal! It always spooks me seeing divers in such massive spaces. The bottles and tools in particular were haunting, thank you so much for sharing! All your videos have so much work into them, easily one of the best channels on youtube! Thank you guys.
Thank you!
What an amazing site. I did NOT expect a mining cave to be that massive! Let alone the actual under water parts! Creeply awesome!
What an extraordinary place. Thanks for those beautiful shots !
I just did this earlier in the year! By far one of my most favorite dives. My personal favorite part of the mines is the redwood forest. I hope you all were able to see that part!
I 'm from the 2nd group of dive guides in the mine ,early 80''s. Seen lots of things I never saw before FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Those metal clouds are mind blowing! Thank you so much for showing us this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a little kid I would love to watch your vids on my dads phone and every now and then I just check out your Channel to check how your doing thanks for all the good memories as a kid
You know, they are not kids videos....you can still watch them!
I love diving here. Been up to trail 22. Cannot wait to go back.
Remember this when gus and woody did it but good to see again with your awesome filming skills and nice to see the sidewinder is being out in good use and also nice to see Mike in this one also. keep bringing those excellent videos out guys
Whoever composed/chose your music should get an award.
He has several!

WOW that water is soooo clear!! 👍👍
Cave diving with no guideline = maximum anxiety. 😅 Very unique dive to say the least, thanks for the virtual tour.
There is a guideline in any of the sections that require it.
Great video! Love that place! Took my teenage son a couple of years ago and would love to go back!!!
I guess a 5 or 7 mil is not warm enough for this awsome place.
I need to get my drysuit cert, for sure!!
Great video!!
The best channel ever...🎉🎉
Your my childhood I love this channel
Absolutely crazy vid. The vibes of that mine is next level
Wow,. Emeizing video, thankyou for making the video
What a beautiful surreal place ty for sharing what most of us would never see ❤
Went there last year! Best diving I have ever done so far!
i love your videos mate. always come back to watch it
used to watch u daily as a kid love the videos still
So good to see Mike here. You’re really doing a lot with a lot of faces and names I actually recognize whose channels I also watch.

That is very impressive!! Working for what you want and getting there is really satisfying!! Great work and be careful!
Insaaaaaaane 😍😍😍😍
Cute Bonnie and nice staff!
18:17 That's not a smallmouth bass, that's a largemouth bass.
I knew I was going to get that wrong. You Sure??
@@BlueWorldTV Yes
I cant wait to get back to diving, hopefully in the next month
What an amazing job you guys did. I love how you tell the story of the mine along with the story of your adventure inside. The video does such a great job of capturing the beauty of this place.
Thanks Steve! And thanks for being such a great guide!!
Love you video Jhonothin bird😁

What a cool video. The Shots of the metal oxidation smoke is amazing. Love your videos.
Greetings from Germany
There is an absolutely amazing mine dive in Germany called Felicitas. I hope to get there at some point.
Hope Bonnie doing well! 🙏
Just amazing !!! Thank you for taking us with you to these incredible locations ! 🤩👌👌
My pleasure. I can't believe that my job is to make this stuff!!
Beautiful and creepy, really appreciate the higher resolution of these newer videos too!
I can see Woody and Gus watching this with teary eyes and Woody blaming Gus for not going this time.
Wowww... Sir it's amazing... 😮 ... 😍
Never knew you'd find a dive site in missouri, practically the middle of nowhere !
Such a hidden gem !
Who knows what other sites you could find just round your street ?
So nice dive !
It’s been on my bucket list for years.
Looking forward to burning some sorb
رحلة استكشاف مذهلة

frigheningly awesome!
I love that the videos seem to be released more frequently! Keep up the pace!
We have been doing two episodes/month for the last year or so.
Awesome. I am a relatively new sub and watched the one video where you all explained the vids come out once a month. Then i noticed there were coming out 2x a month and I'm like well totally rad... Because I need blue world more than just 1x a month!
Plus of course seeing mike young was a real treat. I love the collaborations with him and dive talk
That place looks so foreign its hard to imagine anyone ever existing in there. I kind of feel bad for the fish if its the only one. Someone should take it to a lake. Awesome video, incredible diving and filming is just amazing. Especially the oxide smoke.
If a fish got in there, that means its connected to a body of water somewhere/some how
I think they told us when we were there that it was put in there
Wow looks beautiful
You guys got better equipment and expertise than NatGeo
Awesome video! We have been wanting to dive the mine but they charge an arm and a leg for CCR dives.
Surreal and marvelous
Wow this is amazing, looking forward for dives in more man made structures.
LEGENDARY.
Love this episode! ❤
Jonathan
You really need to dive Madison Blue Spring, would love to see a video going back to the Courtyard
John
So many caves on my bucket list!!!
I’ve watched a ton of scuba and shipwreck videos, but I think you just introduced the term “rustsicles” to me. Good video.
I would like to take credit for that but I'm pretty sure I stole it from somewhere!
Spookiest scuba dive ever!
why is nobody talking about the giant spider on the pillar 5:29 🥵🥵🥵🥵
You think that's a spider???? Can't tell.
I checked their website. For general divers, they do not allow you to bring your dive light. What a weird regulation!
That's kind of common in caverns. It keeps the open water certified divers from going into places they don't belong. The open water parts of the mine are already lit from above.
So unexpected! Very interesting 🙂🤩
Amazing dive!
Its always a shame how little views these videos get when they're so amazing.
Agreed.
