I think you're the only person on the planet with a cheerful enough demeanor to make me watch a cave diving video without having an anxiety attack
I always know that they made it out so its ok the bad ones are the videos where you know the diver died like the video of david shaw that was really hard to watch...
Hahaha, exactly! In fact, watching these makes me feel relaxed.
No it’s just the others are overly dramatic
Hahaha, yes!! You put that so perfectly I'm literally Ling OL!! Usually I watch cave diving vids (and pretty much any physical ceiling dive vids, for that matter) with intense, white-knuckle fascination. But he makes his fascinating...*without* me feeling like I'm biting my nails in anxiety on behalf of the divers.
I grew up in limestone country, so spelunking & cave/quarry diving accidents were regular fodder in the local news, and it was almost always inexperienced, overconfident folks who were the victims. Watching these vids remind me of what was was instilled in me growing up as an adventurous kid: that you can & should respect your exploration situation, but NOT be overly terrified of it. The point of any adventure is usually to enjoy it, after all!
(And, of course, any decent diver and/or spelunker knows that the #1 cause of accidents is panic & inexperience!)
@@Landgraf43 Very true.
I really enjoy watching these, but gotta admit I wouldn't do it myself...at least not now. I have kids that are still pretty young, so I figure I'll do what my (very adventurous) parents did and wait until they're grown up before I try anything that seems more than a moderate level of risky.
But I do sometimes look forward to the days when I can follow in my parents footsteps! 😅
You guys really did a great job with the music in this video. It makes me feel claustrophobic just watching it.
John I really appreciate that you took the time to create this video that we watch
Thanks! We spend an average of 10-15 DAYS (meaning 8 hour work days) on the edit for a typical segment like this. I don't think people realize how much work is involved.
This video gives a look inside how we make the show

+BlueWorldTV You've got our support John! Keep up the good work.
His name is jonathan not john
Yes !!!!
Production quality is even better. You deserve more subscribers
Agreed :)
When you think that caving is crazy and you find out that there’s underwater caving too.
Hahahahaha I thought the same!!
My thoughts exactly. My survival instinct is going NOPE, NAHH,UHAH, not a chance in hell.
Right!??! I grew up in limestone cave country, and thought that cave fishing from a boat was craaazeee. But yeah, then I discovered this. *Jawdrop*
That's exactly how I ended up here too lol, there's no way man,no way
ive held every venomous spider in north america bare handed, in the wild.
plus 100 wild snakes, 1 venomous wild snake.
and thousands of wasps and nonvenomous spiders.
yet i still think this guys nuts 😂
Jonathan, your videos are something else. I've been interested in marine life since I was a kid. I can't imagine how much work and effort you and your team put into these wonderful documentation. Thank you so much.
Thanks! Our typical episodes involve 1-3 days of shooting and 10-15 days of editing.
This really makes me regret not spending more time in Cave Country on my recent trip to the US. Wayne was a true gentleman and he has a truly awesome shop there. I will definitely be be back.
Heck! You don't even have to dive to be awed, either! I grew up in limestone cave country, and just took my kids back to see mammoth cave a couple of years ago...I'll never forget the look on my youngest kid's face as they peered down into a seemingly bottomless vertical shaft covered with sparkling calcite crystals as far as the eye could see.
Man, I'm getting claustrophobic just watching this.
Same
7:20 doesn’t that look like a skull...left screen side
It is
It does luck like a skull but way to big look at the diver next to it
Jonathan, thank you for taking the time to create these videos and share the blue world with us. Your channel deserves far more recognition and support.
Just amazing and mesmerizing till the end. This is one of the dream I think I will never would able to see come true. I envy the steel cold nerve of these divers. Thank you so so much for sharing this wonderful treasure..
If u scuba dive u can enjoy the springs
wow, every cave diving vid is always mesmerizing for me. thanks, john
Thanks so much for the detailed video , really appreciate your time and effort ! , wish nothing but the best for your channel, you really deserve it!
Thanks!
BlueWorldTV u so cool
Oh my gosh the wateris so clear and good to see you back because
iv been gone for months this is so fun Great vid John!!!
I meant the water is so clear
Such bravery!! Hats off, Gentlemen.... Another amazing work of art.
just found this channel and I'm so happy because I've recently got into freediving and spearfishing...awesome work on these man!
Amazing. I've done dives with incredible visibility...but watching cave dives I swear I could easily forget that what I'm watching is even underwater, if not for the bubbles and occasional disturbed silt!!
It appears I'm the only diver that watched this.
I LOVED this video.
Great production quality and I liked the narrative.
This is really clear for a Florida cave. Most of them are so murky compared to the Playa caves.
I got certified when I was 15 but haven't been on a dive in about 9 years. These videos really make me want to get started again.
Don't go cave diving without training!
+BlueWorldTV Of course! I just meant regular scuba, and I'd want to go through certification again for that anyway. It's been too long and I've forgotten too much.
That's so cool! I live about 30 minutes from there, and have been there countless times. I wish I had known you were going to be there!
Amazing production guys! Love it! 👏👏👏
That was so cool the best UA-cam channel evader " in my opinion"
Ok, That pretty much cured me of any desire to do cave diving. Way too narrow for my tastes.
Inr
Wilmanman thehunter ikr*
You act like they're all narrow
@@charlesg7926 Maybe where he lives it is, narrow.
Yeah they're no joke, I've done basic cavern dives but not cave
your videos just gets better and better every episode! ☺
excellent job as always especially with the music this time it really fit with the episode.
Wow i salute you sir Jonathan for doing this to have the most beautiful chanel. Pls keep safe! God bless blue world staff!💕
Your videos are educating, relaxing and so so so beautiful. I think it is perfect for both children and adults. Thank you so much these videos.
What a sight. Its so clear. Doesn't even look like theyre in water. Looks like theyre just floating on air. I chuckled at the sign that read stop you need cave diving equipment to go further. Obviously you have it if youre IN THE CAVE reading the sign.
Not really. A lot of people go in with basic open water scuba equipment, not cave gear and not trained, which is really dangerous. Watch our cave training video where I learned to cave dive, it's fun!
I cant thank you enough for doing this. These videos seriously contain the most amazing things that ive ever seen. And these are just videos. I couldn't imagine seeing it in person.
Not necessary ly
Wow!! I could never do that!! Thank you for the anxiety riddled gran adventure!!
I love the cave dives! keep up the good work!
Cave diving series is the best, Jonathan
Thanks! More to come! December is going to be cave diving month!!
Wow johnatan!! thank you so much for this video.
amazing,, i'm starting to love cave diving...
Woah!That's a one beautiful cave to dive in.
And a scary one.
Jonathan please keep doing what you’re doing and also please don’t stop because I do love all you’re videos. They’re all awesome!
Thanks! No plans to stop!
@@BlueWorldTV Jonathan please don’t stop you have a lot to offer people. Plus I was very impressed with your office due to the fact you get a catered one of your rooms to jock Cousteau. I watched him growing up as a kid. You are teaching in my are phenomenal. I can see how you put a lot of your feelings into your teachings. I could be wrong but you must be a guy to can get very intense I know I can when I’m passionate about something that I love doing myself. Please keep it up as I said you’re doing great! Us New Englanders got to stick together what do you think LOL!
It’s none of my business my gut level is you’re from Massachusetts like I am. That makes me probably an old fart compared to you but I’m only a big fans I know that much. Your video photography is awesome! I personally like to do photography and also video photography on the side and if I can help out churches or Ministries that I know that need if I talker for our videographer I will do it for free. Also I’d like to take pictures of the ocean myself including Weathers patterns such as Hurricanes thundering lightning snow storms and a few other things as well. If I can learn the dice I might be willing to try some underwater photography that’s how crazy I am. Again thank you for responding back to me I plan to keep following you sir. God bless.
Such great quality of video, I almost feel like I am diving there with you guys :)
Can't imagine that cave was dry before but now it can fill 2 pool in just a couple of minutes, so amazing❤️
I live in Jacksonville, FL. Been to Ichetucknee Springs several times and down that hole twice. Beautiful
Great video! Superb quality.
Wow. I didn’t know Florida had such caves.
I do like how there is a spring like current near the opening of mouth of the cave.
Even how there were tiny air pockets near the ceiling of the bedding plain.
Thank you for adding that imaginary margin chart to help explain what you might of experience through the spring like jug and cave system.
Very helpful for people get an idea of a clearer experience filmed.
Thanks to you and your crew for all the good lighting you provide through the diving route.
Even a nice yellow rope to mark the direction of exploration safety precaution.
Yes, your side mounts are key to helping maneuver through those small spaces and the video footage shows just some good examples of what it’s like there.
I wondered if there was a depth and or distance you folks marked as a dive experience. What would you say it measured as? And how deep does that face really go? If you know?
Thank you for sharing as a style of expedition that suggest a pro-casual level of routine like professionalism. Great team work! ❤️
Very well made, to include angles, team coordination, music. A beautiful gem of a cave but I have yet to dive there. (Pretty much backmount only but certified SM). As always, Wayne at Amigos dive center, is one of the best Guys you ever want to meet.
Heading down as soon as the parks reopen!
I need to get down there soon!
Always impressed with your videos. I've been making short documentaries for websites and promotions for a while now and I don't know about you but my camera-man brain and editing brain are not the same. They fight all the time. It's really frustrating when you know you missed a good shot, or focused on something that turns out to be the wrong thing, etc, etc, etc. It must be especially challenging underwater! Great work guys.
But the good thing is that if you edit your own stuff, you will start to think like an editor while you are shooting, and that will help you to get all the shots you need to tell a story. Remember that at the end of edit, what is important is that you told a good story. Great individual shots are nice, but the story itself is what holds the attention of your audience.
Such incredible footage. I'm not a massive fan of closed spaces though.
Mesmerising and wonderful! Excellent work like always, Jonathan and team. Thanks for the video, mates.
Thanks Mark!
And thanks for being one of our long time viewers and commentors!
BlueWorldTV, you're very welcome.
to say the least this is so much adventurous...how could you hold your nerves? my heart is pumping little hard by just seeing this? plz respond Jonathan sir...
It's so creepy seeing that hole in the bottom of the lake. Another awesome video!
Adventurous video man!👌👌 You got heart sir to go into that cave. But I think without camera it would have been a fun😁😁
Wonderful!!!. You know Mr Bird i Think that i'm falling in love with your vidéos. You are doing an amazing job.
:-) . Thanks!
If you like Florida spring caves you should dive Morrison spring's cave in ponce de Leon FL. Very nice with near marine life. Visibility=priceless
I'll look into it. There are so many great caves in Florida. The problem is making them interesting enough for their own Blue World. I mean, how many cave diving videos can people sit through?? LOL. Because I love cave diving and I'll do that all the time!
BlueWorldTV I love cave diving
Thanks u for uploading valuable videos
great video and edit as usual!
Love the vids keep up to the good work
Thank you John!
Amazing! You are so brave!
Thats awesome !
i wanna dive with Jonathan!
You should look into Diving Blue Lake in Utah. Its a Geothermic lake with pockets on the bottom that are like quick sand. Its a pretty sweet dive
The production quality is amazing. Fantastic stuff keep making them!
Thanks!
I love watching these and they are very addictive
Thanks for making these videos for us to see. Must have been hard huh.. well, we are all happy to see these videos. Notice me senpai~
Hope in the upcoming videos would be less harder to make!
I don't know if you will Ever find one... But want you to do MegaMouth Shark next!
No matter what I think about to avoid the paranoia of claustrophobia while watching these cave dives... I can't WAIT for when they say, ".... and we're heading to the surface now ....." ~!~
Wonderful !
it looks really FUN!
that looks amazing!
Cave diver? ABSOLUTELY BADASS!
ThiS is the best Chanel!!!
the youtube is a better place with JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD in it :)
thanks for the amazing episode
Aw man thanks!!
I LOVE YOUR VIDS PLEASE KEEP POSTING '😘😘
Johnathan me and my mom love your videos we watch it all the time and I.. just did my 5th open water dive. keepep up the good work😃
Keep
Congratulations!!! Awesome! Welcome to my world!
I love your cave diving
thank you for this.
Class Johnathan bird 👍🇬🇧
Amazing
Brilliant choice of music for this video. Perfectly fits the eerie atmosphere. I wonder if I can download/buy the "soundtrack" somewhere? Especially the piece from 7:30 to 10:30.
I really wish I could learn how to cave dive. But I am very claustrophobic, and I have a history of seizures when my anxiety gets too high. While places like this are just so amazing, I dont think I would personally risk it. But I genuinely enjoy watching you guys go down there, so thank you for sharing your adventures with us
You could go into a bigger cave :D/not enter too deep. I have a butterfly phobia,but that doesnt stop me from going to mountain or farms,where butterflies are abundant. xD
"butterfly phobia"??? Wth??
chebz Dont blame me. My dad used to tease me about butterfly when I was a kid. I also have some traumatic events with butterfly as a 4 years old.
Don't go outside your comfort zone unless you have a good plan in place, good friends to help and can bail out safely. Live to dive, dive to live.
Leon Dy TheOldManEric thank you guys for your advice!! I really appreciate it
Yep. Can't wait.
Hi.. Sandy, here..from Cincinnati… I saw you on Dive Talk…I love what you guys do, so I subbed.
Welcome!! And thanks for subbing!
I love your videos
Love the viedo
Great video. I live near there. I'll have to check it out.
Great documentary. I enjoy all the Blue World vids. I have been in many caverns, but no caves. Caves are beautiful and fascinating to see, but way to restrictive and to many narrow places for my taste. Hats off the the real cavers. Moe power to you. I will stick to open water and caverns.
Amazing ❤
Incredible
great video 😉
This is soooooo cooooool
This is wicked awesome! My bf is a ccr cave diver, you guys make it look so flipping easy!!! Awesome footage, I was just looking at ginnies cave footage the other day, both are so gorgeous! 😍
More caving diving please!
really good video I appreciate it. thank you all
Really nice video!:-)
Great video! Love your content and beautifully produced work. What exposure system where all of you using on this video. Can’t tell if your in a wetsuit or neoprene dry suit.
This whole time I was watching this, I just kept thinking what if an alligator is just waiting for them down there? Or what if they get stuck? Or the tank's air finished? So awesome but with my anxiety? hell nooo. Love the video though 😊
Don't worry, I'm trained for this type of thing!
ua-cam.com/video/KrhNAQLzpSM/v-deo.html
BlueWorldTV That's awesome! Keep up these cool videos ! 😊
an al... an al, an... an... alligator? in the deep ocean? do u know where they live?
@@mart1n4s, Ocean?
Who else addicted😍
MEEEEE
Love the B3 organ!!
Awesome!111
nice video it's cool
Well done!
Thanks!
One of my dreams is to dive with you and the dive talk crew!
That cave was creepy but beautiful!
Avid open water diver and have always been curious about cave diving. 06:12 confirms I don’t think it’s for me. Massive respect for cave divers
Have you watched our episode about cave training?
ua-cam.com/video/KrhNAQLzpSM/v-deo.html
Legend says that fish is still down there
I like watching your videos at times like this when america is in chaos... i should probably watch it by season and episode cuz im only binged watching this lol
If you start at the beginning, you will see the evolution of the show and the style changing.
