I dove the well many years ago and we went into the second chamber then. You had to remove your tanks and push them thru ahead of you. There was so much sediment built up over the eons that moving around in there stirred it all up and you couldn't see squat. You had to lie still and let the flow of the water clear out the chamber so that you could see the exit\entrance. To answer a couple of questions, it is a little over 100 feet to the bottom of the well. The elevation in the second cavern actually went up initially, but like I said, you couldn't see much. I did see an albino catfish down in the well and I have always wondered what he ate.
+James Hayes That's why its best to use rebreathers in caves, bubbles stir up too much sediment. Also the best cave divers practice using the guidelines with eyes closed near the entrance. When they are good at doing that they go deeper in.
Honestly why hasn't there been a scary movie about diving in places like this? This looks scary af already. Add scary music and creepy shit and boom 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah people go diving in a well just like this one go down very deep the the ground starts to shake a earthquake is happening they swim up as fast as the can but the entrance gets blocked off by a giant rock there no way out if they stay there for too long they'll drown can they survive?
Theres one about some dumb teenage girls that go cave diving and there happens to be huge blind great whites that adapted to dark...54 meters i think its called.
This is really an inland blue hole like those in the Bahamas with the same kind of underwater chambers equal in size & with all the same hazards.The safest way to explore this would be with underwater drones controlled from the surface.
Jacob's Well isn't anything like the "blue hole" in Bahamas nor Belize. Jacob's well is basically an underground river in a cave connected to an aquifer with a constant flow of water (unless the aquifer levels drop too much). The blue holes you mention are basically sinkholes consisting of a single large mouthed cavern, they have steep near vertical walls and there is no source of water, in fact the water is anoxic at the bottom and devoid of anything but the most basic of life. Jacob's well has multiple caverns that twist and turn and sometimes go back up instead of straight down. The deepest blue hole is just under 1000 feet depth (from the surface). Jacob's well has been mapped beyond 4,500 feet. Not straight down, but horizontally and vertically. it is fed from the Trinity and Edward's Aquifer system.
@@FilmerOfBobcats I haven't seen it when I've been out there recently, but theres so many bed and breakfasts' in Wimberely that it could've just been drowned out.
At about 1:30 into the video one of the divers shines a light off to the left and there's what appears to be another chamber going off in that direction as well as an opening going down in that chamber. Anyone ever explore that one?
Up is the ceiling you see above the divers. If you mean, why did they not point the camera behind them, that is because they were going into the cave, not out of the cave.
Is it still "only" 8 deaths? Are there still bodies down there? And does anyone have footage of the 4th chamber?? I've looked everywhere and am starting to feel like it doesn't even exist...
I thought this was sealed with concrete after so many divers drowned? It is full of false chutes and chimneys where you try to surface and get stuck in a dead end. Beautiful but deadly.
I watched a video where they said the put a grate on there..people took it back off and left a sign “you can’t keep us out” so they put a more serious grate on there.
No I think you are confused with nutty putty cave maybe horrible what happened over there but that’s not a cave for diving don’t think any caves for dives have really been sealed off
For all interested if you google the 4th chamber Jacob's well there has been a successful mapping team. 4th chamber has little silt and is wider than the 2nd chamber if I remember correctly
Larry The well has killed a handful of divers, who went down without having the proper cave gear or certification. Diving is prohibited unless you have permission.
I have been caving in great places like West Virginia and I love to dive but there is no way I will mix the two. Although I do plan on diving in Cenotes/Caverns in Riviera Maya.
It is a spring being fed from an underground aquifer and until recently the water came out of the hole with too much force to actually swim inside of the cave. Recent developments in the area is what has dropped the pressure enough for people to dive in it. The heavy water pressure most likely prevented anything with substance to thrive there.
Oh wow this is terrible. Stressed me out just watching. Just imaging how easily disoriented and confusing the whole area would be without a line. I don’t even like the slight murky-ness to the water. Even that makes me more scared. Ugh I don’t think I could scuba dive actually. The fear of my apparatus failing or becoming disoriented somehow is too great for me at least. Used to want to get certified but the more I watch stuff the more scared I get!
That is where training comes in. Cave diving is a serious sport and it takes a lot of training to get there and then a lot more experience performing the skills learned before dropping in a cave like this one. And yes, there was a line in the cave.
No, sorry, you can't use it. I can't give authorization because there are other people in the video besides myself and they too would have to give authorization. Please do not use it.
I went there with a guy who owned that ranch that its on..everyone knows him in that town today so im pretty sure he would know but i mean maybe i didnt hear him right.
Adeptus Astartes They have a guide line and more than likely are technical divers. They usually carry extra O2 (and depending on deepness oxygen mixed with other gases) and 3 lights each just in case. They try and stack the odds in their favor. Of course you can never be 100% safe.
Funny. The only reason why i would do scuba diving will be sea life..... Whats the point of diving in a regular well? What are they diving there for? 😁
How old are you Buddy???? when your brother!! (First women!!!!!) would be a diver at 1832 you also might born before 1850!!!??? hey man! you yourself are a record!!! just talk a bit about yourself.
There isn't any particular reason why a military diver would likely be better off than a civilian one, more likely the opposite even. Seeing as military diver don't have to go in caves, while specialized cave divers do it all the time.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back the king of King in The Lord of Lord that set at Jacob's Well. John 3:16 he's coming back after people that made their self ready Hallelujah get ready for the big event.
chris4337 Texas has the deepest known natural underwater cavern in the United States.. So no.. I'm sure there are some very awesome places in Florida too, but don't be a jerk when you're wrong lol. Jacobs well total depth isn't yet known but it's at least over 100ft, and there is a cave called Phantom Springs in Texas that is at least 462ft deep, beating the previously deepest cave in Florida.
Eighty8percent Scariest really doesn't always equal best. He did say best not most deadly or frightening. Best is a very subjective word when we are speaking like this. I personally would consider a nice mostly safe place with pretty fish and plants to be the best while technical divers who love a challenge may consider Jacobs Well the best. :)
Aside from a false chimney in the Second Chamber, there's just the one path down. It's not like those crazy twisty cave systems with lots of branches and forks. Still, of course there's a line - but it's a permanent, fixed one.

+PGComet I've been interested in rebreathers, but it looks like you have to be a technician to use them... so they're out for me. Bummer.
Justin my question was "what " the catfish ate, not what he ate it with. Perhaps your local librarian could explain the difference.
Justin get roasted
The sound of the water and the oxygen tanks gives me the chills.
It'll run out of oxygen 😱
Honestly why hasn't there been a scary movie about diving in places like this? This looks scary af already. Add scary music and creepy shit and boom 🤷🏻♀️

Keep going. Feed the well.
Exactly not enough blood sacrifice made to keep the demon deep at bay. Just kill off a couple at top and no one will die underneath.
lol
God Bear you are a troll
Actually he’s not. I agree. I say feed the well. Dumb fucks wanna die then let them.
Yep. Natural selection.
I'm not claustrophobic but this made me feel a hint of it
At 3:36 the stone in the right bottom corner sure looks like a skull
RedMer99 Probably is.
RedMer99 It's not a skull... He was just waiting. Waiting for them to get closer so he could pull them under with him.

Use a guide Line😉😉
My family lives about 10 minutes away from this place, I just kinda stand there and stare at the water wondering how many dead bodies are down there 😳
That must be a mind fuck
Is the Coleman’s Canyon Bed and Breakfast still operating? I know Sharon died a couple of years ago, but I think her sons still live on the property.
@@FilmerOfBobcats I haven't seen it when I've been out there recently, but theres so many bed and breakfasts' in Wimberely that it could've just been drowned out.
@@FilmerOfBobcats Where is it located in the town? Because that name sounds very familiar.
They usually get a recovery team to retrieve them. One of the recoveries was on "Faces Of Death".
Fascinating video. All I can think is "man, that looks like a great way to get dead"
Extraordinario 👏👏👏
This looks really fun and exciting yet scary as well.
I wanted to see further into it!
At about 1:30 into the video one of the divers shines a light off to the left and there's what appears to be another chamber going off in that direction as well as an opening going down in that chamber. Anyone ever explore that one?
+CheapestGamer To me, looks like it could be the false chimney that traps divers. If it is, then yes it has been explored...but...yeah.
What Kieran said. Too bad it's a one-way exploration…
Up is the ceiling you see above the divers. If you mean, why did they not point the camera behind them, that is because they were going into the cave, not out of the cave.
Too bad there's no footage beyond the second chamber. I wanna see the deadly third and fourth!

SOO cool, thanks for taking me there!👍

Ann Anomaly I don’t see it??
Just a rock
Where was this? I can't find any footage of the 4th chamber anywhere. I'm starting to think it doesn't even exist!
these men are crazy ass hell
I free dove to that depth on one breath with fins. Perforated my ear drum on the way back up
No, that is not true. There have been 8 deaths contributed to scuba diving in Jacob's Well.
Is it still "only" 8 deaths? Are there still bodies down there? And does anyone have footage of the 4th chamber?? I've looked everywhere and am starting to feel like it doesn't even exist...
@@deprofundis3293 Anyone who has gone into the fourth chamber has died, that’s why there’s no footage
@@deprofundis3293 the mysterious 4th chamber is not the end of the system by far. It was just the end up until it was passable. It goes much further.
I thought this was sealed with concrete after so many divers drowned? It is full of false chutes and chimneys where you try to surface and get stuck in a dead end. Beautiful but deadly.
Jay Dee no I live near the well and I dive to the bottom and back up on the weekends
I watched a video where they said the put a grate on there..people took it back off and left a sign “you can’t keep us out” so they put a more serious grate on there.

Nerves of freakin steel.
At 1:32, the flashlighted area showed a non-moving black figure from the the left. Is that a dead body?
Can't see anything there
Great video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
480P we meet again
So thats the chamber at the end, where 8 divers went in and none came back
i know. i want to know whats inside it
famous last words
hahahha exactly
No that’s still in the 2nd chamber
For all interested if you google the 4th chamber Jacob's well there has been a successful mapping team. 4th chamber has little silt and is wider than the 2nd chamber if I remember correctly
Such an amazing place, it's just to bad to many people have been stupid there and ruined the chances of anyone diving there again...
What happened? Some kids threw rocks and rubbish to the hole? Anyways sad to hear that.
Larry The well has killed a handful of divers, who went down without having the proper cave gear or certification. Diving is prohibited unless you have permission.
My fear isn’t even the dark water, it’s the thought of the ceiling falling on me 😖
They made it to the entrance of the 4th chamber in this video right?
I have been caving in great places like West Virginia and I love to dive but there is no way I will mix the two. Although I do plan on diving in Cenotes/Caverns in Riviera Maya.
Who's watching this in 2016?
;)
yep
Here here
Who wishes people asking these questions would shut the fuck up?
2018
why isn't there any life forms down there?
Self contained spring water well. Give it about 10,000 years...Some bird will drop a pregnant minnow in there or something..
In another video I saw a crawfish under a rock
It is a spring being fed from an underground aquifer and until recently the water came out of the hole with too much force to actually swim inside of the cave. Recent developments in the area is what has dropped the pressure enough for people to dive in it. The heavy water pressure most likely prevented anything with substance to thrive there.
snarf McFarlan oh, interesting. thanks
I went to the well in the early 90s, and there was a huge fish in it.
Scuba divers 🤿 u guys are sooooo brave and Fearless.
Pretty cool. Now go into the fourth chamber😳
Oh wow this is terrible. Stressed me out just watching. Just imaging how easily disoriented and confusing the whole area would be without a line. I don’t even like the slight murky-ness to the water.

Indeed. Open water diving at a beginner location is a way more chill experience. Cave diving at that depth is pretty hardcore.
Great video! Mind if I use a clip in a documentary and give you proper credit for the footage?
No, sorry, you can't use it. I can't give authorization because there are other people in the video besides myself and they too would have to give authorization. Please do not use it.
@@LiquidtravelPhotography No problem at all, I won't use the footage. Thanks for replying.
my imagination is runnin at 3:36 ... a skull?
This Video is soo relaxing. It makes me fall asleep.
Roxanna Lopez You might want to watch some ASMR videos . With keywords: water sounds, rain or any type of sound that relaxes you!
Why don't they go into any of the chambers?
The Nice Guy Clearence for gear and also their bubbles can become trapped in there and cause erosion like effects

What is your approximate depth at 3:20?
Jacob's Well Cemetery is not dedicated to those who died in Jacob's Well. It is the cemetery of local families owning land on the area.
How would one run out of air doing this!!?? Its like 8-10 minutes?? Someone had only 10 minutes of air in a tank!!??

you will find other world's way!
Drown. They’re very experienced though and if you can see your bubbles you know which way is up and work from there
It's like Dr. Seuss' McElligot's Pool
Is nobody gonna talk about the black figure at 1:24
I don’t see it
I just went there I had to sweat a lot to get there and take a pic
Why would anyone ever want to dive into a giant hole filled with water? No thanks
because without water you go splat on the bottom.
For some Jacob's Well fun check out my video

Who else here from Mrballen videos lol
I swore I heard a deep "NOM NOM" sound as they went down.
It's very safe to say that I will never ever be doing this.
Look up 'compressor diving'

Why not just send a drone
Yeah they have a whole grave yard for the people that died in there, i drove past it....theres literally like 40 graves

But why
do not go in that unless u wanna get killes
