Doesn't sound like he had enough training to even go into the wreck. I'm an instructor and have seen too many times where a parent takes their kids diving way beyond the level of training they've had.
There was a man who took his son to dive eagles nest, if I remember right it was one of the first times the kid ever used scuba equipment. Sadly they both drowned.
For sure. Without at least wreck speciality you should not penetrate any wreck. Furthermore, unless you’re a technical diver (ie recreational) you should ideally always have “open water” ie direct access to the surface. Some dive masters will tell you to count each meter sideways with cover as an additional meter of depth… but in a silt without training you’ll wait longer for the silt to settle than you have breathing gas in your tank… if you are not trained and experienced with the site - dive safely and stay out
I'd blame the Father 100% - his son was so obviously unprepared for such a dive. Also if you need to ascend then YOU ASCEND! You don't look around for someone to accompany you. To do this you MUST have a surface marker buoy with enough line to deploy the buoy to the surface. Father should have been there close to his son. (UK BSAC Advanced Instructor No. 1719)
This is why we always brief our emergency procedures with our buddies before our dive. If we get away from each other, and cannot find one another for 1 minute, we surface. If I cannot find my buddy on the surface within a couple minutes of that, we call for help and start a search party. Yes, we have very strict procedures for this, and I have myself surfaced once seeing a cavalry of fire dept rescue divers because I was five minutes late to the surface.
The TH-camr y'all are reacting to, scary Interesting, isn't a diver obviously. I actually do appreciate that, Especially in recent videos, he legitimately has seemed to put in a lot more effort to research things and report accurately
I started to follow that channel some years ago, when I came across the video "The Plura Cave Disaster"... Then I went down a rabbit hole of cave diving (I'm a Scuba diver, but not cave diver) that ended up discovering Dive Talk🙌. I think The video about the plura cave was removed, I don't know why. There are many other channels that made their own video about it but nothing like the one from Scary interesting.
@divetalk Scary Interesting has mentioned you in at least one if not more of his videos where he covers cave diving. He really seems to respect you guys and wants to report the information as accurately as possible. Love both yours and his channel.
I've definitely noticed some of the channels I'm subbed to just disappearing from my list. I'll be like "oh I haven't caught up with them in a while I should check" and then literally can't find them. It's especially frustrating for smaller channels that don't always show up at the top of the search.
@@ezequielortiz4188 nothing to do w being woke. its just bot protection that sucks for channels that are growing or have growth that surpasses its typical standard deviations of growth. if u haven't watched in a while, it appears as "unsubbed" unless u go back to watching them, then will auto-sub you back once u watch a video or two.
I think another theory as to why Steven drowned is because he lost grip of the ring and it fell... and tried to swim down to catch it before losing it forever. In hindsight, it's an awful reason to risk it all, but in the moment he might've only been thinking about how expensive and special the ring was.

The first story reminds me of great lake wrecks here in Canada. The water is usually around 36 degrees at the bottom and many wrecks are sideways, so that ladder could have been leading anywhere. And for his decsision to stay at the bottom, I have dove on some wrecks that not following the exit line, will have you pop out in the commercial ship lane, that can be an death sentence if a 700 ft boat is coming your way. Happy to see the kids got it right. Keep up the great work guys
You made me think of an old magazine photo my grandpa kept. A small skiff like sail boat was cutting across the bow of an enormous ore freighter very close on. He had taped a caption on it "Why would you?"
to add to what you said- since I have dove in the are that you mention many times- people may not understand that while you can hear a ship underwater- even a large commercial ship- you don't know where it is. I've done a dive in the very close to a commercial lane to see a specific wreck years ago ( closest waymark is Heart Island- Bolt Castle) but that is considered advanced, because it required a drop off and timed pick up from a boat- and we could not just surface at will due to the ships.
This is an example of someone diving beyond their training. I am an AOW diver and I dive with my daughter who is only currently an OW diver. I do not inter any wreck that I can now see through because I have not completed any wreck diving cert. I also would not allow my daughter to dive in ant situation that she was not trained for and we had not briefed for.
The 15 liter tank Callum used is probably a steel tank and his "usual tank" based on them normally going to the red sea would be a 12l aluminium or 80 cuft tank. The bouyancy difference between the two IS noticable as the steel 15l tank would be 1-3 kg negative when empty, unlike aluminium 80 cuft or 12 liter tanks.
My dad was a plane pilot. When I was young, he had me on a yolk on flight sim 95. Diving and your meticulous attention to detail remind me of him. Thank you so much for your videos. Lifelong sub, no matter what TH-cam purges
4:10 When talking about being affected by nitrogen in regular air, my take was the he was referring to nitrogen narcosis when diving. Also he didn't say that nitrogen was responsible for a high rate of air use, he actually said 'for whatever reason.'
wait a second. the first kid had just got his OPENWATER certification. then immediately does a enclosed dive? shame on his dad. and the dive company who has to check his log book and realize he is nowhere close to being certified to do this dive. since he never dove again after this trip, it sure seams like again dad pushed him to dive again that day, and again the next day, im sure dad did not mean to do both of these. but he almost killed his son. smh
I was sitting there aghast because how could a parent put their child in such a dangerous situation and not realize they're so incredibly underprepared? He got incredibly lucky.
That kid had clearly no training at all. When I got certified, my first open water dive was practicing removing your mask, and separately, removing your regulator and buddy breathing. When I let go of my regulator and put my buddy's octo in my mouth, I breathed out to push out the water. But somehow my mouth was still full of water. So I breathed out harder. And with no air left in my lungs I realized the mouth piece had come detached. I had one second of panic before I knew I needed to feel around behind me for my own regulator again. This was my FIRST dive, and I knew what to do. The fact this kid was doing such a dangerous dive with clearly zero experience is horrifying. I 100% blame the father, who also let him swim off alone. Jesus.
Love your guys content, also Scary Interesting (the channel whose video you reacted to) is the same channel that made me aware of your guys content! Dude may have got some information wrong but if not for his stuff I'd never have stumbled upon this channel, so I'm thankful for that!
Thank you! I'm from Estonia. I discovered your channel completely by accident yesterday. I liked how you reacted to real life situations in the videos and explained all the situations and dangers involved in diving. I know absolutely nothing about diving. Never dived and my family and friends don't do it. I just discovered yesterday that what you are doing is extremely fascinating! And the fact that you explain everything so precisely also helps me understand why and how you do things underwater and above water. The video where Gus surprised Woody, had surprise guest Jacob Childs on air, and you talked about how his "last hours were going" was absolutely powerful. Anyway, I'm totally fascinated with your content and I look forward to it all the time! Cheers to you and thanks for passing on good entertaining as well as informative content! Thank you thank you!
Newly qualified Rescue Diver here, love the channel lads, really helpful, learn loads and thanks for sharing. Leaving Mexico and back to UK waters for the "summer"
Loved the look between you two when the video said "basic PADI training" I worked at my grandparents dive shop for several years and been SSI certified since I was 10 years old and I shared that look with y'all. Love this channel, not many divers around me since I live in Vegas and my grandparents closed up their shop a few years ago, your channel has helped keep the scuba spirit alive in me so thank you for that!
I think I have watched this channel for the last 4 days almost exclusively. I found you 4 days ago through the Chernobyl videos that I thought were crazy interesting. I kinda got interested in the topic of especially cave diving. Thanks to my location I will pretty much never be able to do it (also kinda financial, training and equipment is not cheap), but listening to your experiences is amazing and gives great insides. While being a rollercoaster and thrill ride kinda guy and while being no diver, I still love to learn about it. Thank you for providing many details non divers can easily understand and for focusing on safetey! Greetings from south germany.
Scary interesting does a lot of research for his videos and even though he isn't a diver, is very informative. That being said, Callum commented on how respectfully he covered his story in the first video
Yay! Scary Interesting! 🙌I found you guys because of their channel! They're by no means an expert, but they seem to really try to research more into the content they make videos about, and always cover it sensitively.
@ 3:10 he doesnt say the gas caused him to breath more he said for whatever reason seemed to consume air more quickly than most people. Not the effects of nitrogen was making him breath super fast.
Imagine getting a one in a million proposal like that thinking how lucky you are that the man you love loves you just as much just for him to be taken away from you at that same moment! That's brutal.
I was wondering why I hadn’t been seeing your content on my Home Page- and you guys were right, I was unsubscribed to the channel, involuntarily of course. I fixed it ❤ love you guys!
One of you guys made the comment about "well, how do you know?" In the noted of the video he has a short message "Thanks to Calum for sending story 1." Calem is the diver in the story, he knows because he apparently got the story first-hand from the subject.
Gus, I've been following for a while and your videos/notifications had completely stopped several times for me even though I'm subbed and have everything on
The air/gases are compressed but your lungs breathe in the same volume. Thats why they have to go to surface slowly. When the gases expand as you get closer to the surface your lungs could basically explode or get damaged.
A few things of note on the first story. The narrator didn't say that because he was "sensitive to nitrogen" that he consumed more air. Rather it sounded to me like there was a pause between the statements, not a correlation. In other words I'm guessing the sensitivity to nitrogen was more along the lines of he's more susceptible or feel the effects heavily of Nitrogen Narcosis at depth, perhaps. And additionally he just has a naturally higher SAC rate (we are all different on that, after all). Regarding the weight you actually agreed with the narrator in that he said he normally carried 4kg, but was not carrying 6. Going to a larger tank, if your own statements are correct that, full, it would add 4kg more then you get to the narrators total off 11kg (thus 7kg more than he would normally carry for good neutral buoyancy, apparently). The narrator also noted that he'd only gotten certified the year before, but had gotten in some practice dives at local lakes. That doesn't tell us how much experience he had really gotten in that year, however. Add in the potential of narcossis (which as I noted might be what the narrator meant by his being sensitive to nitrogen) and his being in a panic and the simple idea of just following your bubbles up might not be the clear answer to him at the time. Like is noted in the excellent book "Under Pressure" by Gareth Lock whom you've had on the show, finding his buddy (and his father, no less, possibly making it seem even more pressing that's who you go to for protection) seemed to be the smart thing to do to him at that time in that condition. He SHOULD have remembered his lost buddy procedure but it seems he wasn't thinking clearly at the time, which at least Woody does note. If anything, though, part of my question here would be has he had wreck diving, particularly wreck penetration, training? If so the awareness of a potential silt out and the use of a line should have been part of his training as well and, as such, something very similar to cave diving in those aspects.
Agreed. One year sounds like a very short amount of time to have made the necessary trainings and amount of dives to be properly qualified for wreck diving (not impossible, I guess, but unlikely). And not to mention he was still quite young, 18, probably didn't want to leave without being by his dad's side in the panic.
You will NEVER forget the four diving laws with this little phrase: Confusius Taught, Better Ventilated Drawers Pamper People's Hind Side. Charles with Temperatur Boyle with Volume Dalton with Partial Pressure and Henry with Solution After more than 40 years I still remember
Good evening Gus and Woody I've been a long time watching your channel but I've been away working for a bit. I'm so glad that you 2 are still bringing out your videos. Much love from the UK
I'm a padi advanced open water certified diver, and in regards to the first diver being inverted or upside down. My instructor taught us to keep a little water in your mask so you could always tell which way is up.
I have been following you for a year or 2 and I have had to subscribe to your channel at least 5 times and I watch every new video you post. It only does that with certain channels and I won't even notice until I wonder why the videos aren't on my feed anymore ):
22.20 you said "how do you know" reacting to the fact the narrator said Calum hadn’t dived again, he knew this because Sean from scary interesting (the narrator) got this story from Calum himself, Calum’s post is pinned on the top of the video comments and at the point of me writing this - June 24, the video on scary interesting is about 5 months old. So Sean DID know because Calum himself told him.
I've been purged from yalls channel multiple timesall! Never dove in my life. Love the water and love fishing but never had the chance to dive. But I have a top 10 youtubers that I watch daily so I check it everyday. I'll never be unsubscribed for more than 24 hours. Love yall!❤😊
I not only watch the videos, I became a big fan of yours, your content is very entertaining and satisfying to watch, also, if you pay enough attention, you guys teach a lot of interesting stuff about protocols, security on job and the importance of redundance tools in a stressful and dangerous situation. I watch you from Mallorca, Spain, a place you both want to come and dive In, in fact you made a video of a Mallorquinian Diver who got lost but came out alive since he found an air pocket, Xisco was his name if I remember right. Please keep up the hard work and congratulations on your growth in youtube (even with them playing with your subscribers), also I wanted to congratulate Gus, I also lost 45kg back on the day, so I know exactly what you have to suffer to lose so much weight, very proud of you my man, you are awesome, keep it up! Enhorabuena hermano, muy orgulloso. P.S. Woody, I know that you know that WE KNOW there is Aliens down there, also WE KNOW you don't make bubbles and you can speak to Marine life because of that. P.S.2: please, we need you to react to another video of "chatgpt" chanel 😂😂😂😂 Every time I am sad or whatever, I play that video, you are awesome guys 😂
You guys didn't even comment as to why Calum was penetrating a shipwreck in the first place. This video has so many red flags and stupid scenarios that I find it difficult to believe it even happened.
@@samuraisharkie To a wreck. Yes. Inside a wreck with no training. No. A diver with no skills or training should ever be diving in an overhead environment with no clear path to the surface.
It's real, Callum submitted the story to the channel himself. I think his parents made the mistake of bringing him along on a dive he wasn't ready for.
12:20 The ship could have been capsized, not to mention, it’s a ship, when you dive in a ship, you’re better off sticking to the same hallway, ships ladders don’t always lead out. Hell, I’m pretty sure you can access the ballast tanks. If you don’t have intimate knowledge of the ship, you’re pretty, well, fucked if you get lost.
2:30 I‘ve been very lean and slightly or borderline underweight ever since I was a kid and so many swim teachers told me it wasn‘t possible I couldn‘t float on my back. Like I would try, I would sink and they‘d just tell me I needed to try harder. Eventually I learned how to swim on my back but when I stopped and would try to float I would sink like always. Then in highschool we went swimming in regular PE class and floating came up and I said I couldn‘t do it and the teacher was like „yeah, you probably don‘t have enough fat“ and I was mind-blown because I didn‘t know that was a possibility. Now I have a little more fat and I was finally able to float on my back for the first time last year and I was pretty excited even though it took me like 10-15 years longer than everyone else to do this. It was in salt water which is easier but still, yay lol.
16:00 - Way back when, when a friend owned a dive shop, some of the instructors, during a pool session, would make students swim a lap or two, using the reg, but without a mask. This would show the students, that water would not be sucked up their nose, while submerged.
TH-cam can't accurately determine bot accounts from real accounts. Instead of making a way, they want to focus on TH-cam Games, and TH-cam Shop. They are greedy monster corporation, but such is the world.
It's a little bit heavier, but I agree it is not significant. My guess it's about 1 kg of extra negative buoyancy, not really enough to adjust your equipment...
I can’t believe I went from watching murder mysteries to caving disasters and now just watching all your videos and wanting to get scuba certified, lol
I love watching Scary Interesting. He’s got so many good, creepy videos. And that music he uses is so unsettling. It makes my heart race. He does do a lot of research and tries to get everything right so I give him kudos for that. I heard about you guys from him. Be nice lol.
I just subscribed after seeing you guys for the first time ever yesterday, and your warning about TH-cam literally got me to notice that I was no longer subscribed. Thanks for the heads up
Scary Interesting isn't a diver at all, so while he does do fairly good research on the stories he covers he's bound to get the occasional thing wrong, especially if it's something he's never personally done or had an interest in. Like I don't expect you guys to know everything there is to know about diving even, but especially not to know the finer details of topics you've never experienced or extensively researched yourselves. Love your videos and commentary, living vicariously through you guys since I can't afford diving gear or certification for the foreseeable future. 😅
I absolutely love you guys and your channel. I am currently saving up to do my open water course so I can be part of the amazing dive community. I cannot wait!
Antoine and Kenesha's story is so heartbreaking. It's such a cute and romantic proposal, and they both seemed like great people. Her facebook post made me tear up. I can't imagine how traumatizing that is. I hope she's doing okay. And I hope when she's ready she'll find someone who cherishes her the way Antoine did. :(

1st video. There's a warfighter saying, in a high stress situation, you default to the last level of training you mastered. Mastered being the key word. I think it's not just for warfighters though, the more I learn, the more I learn that saying seems pretty universal. Evidently, this guy didn't have any mastery of even the basics, and it almost killed him. What do you guys think? I think it's a damn good observation for your line of work personally. Another excellent video. Be safe fellas.
That applies to civvies as well as mil. You don't rise to your expectations, you fall back to your training. In absence of training.... chaos, I guess.
@@theKashConnoisseur Yes sir. I believe you have the exact quote there. It all gets jumbled up after so long. It's amazing how something that sounds simple, like DON'T BREATHE THE WATER fails to register when people panic and default to, 'master of nothing.'

X (Woody you look beautiful too, pink is defo your colour lol)
I know ye never will but I would love if ye did a video just talking about warning signs if you go to a dive shop. Like if you take a breath from the regulator and it tastes weird, or the equipment looks old. Just stuff to warn people, especially now in Summer when we're all travelling to go diving. Would be a great help.
I've been watching you guys for so long that I remember the video where you guys didn't know precisely that it was called Boyle's law! Man I love DiveTalk!!🏆
TH-cam has been unsubbing people from everything. They also have a max number of subs per account feature, too, so you can't go over 5,000 otherwise it'll start unsubbing the first on the list in place of the new ones.
I've also noticed that with more risque channels it's more likely. I'm subscribed to Donut Operator and Brandon Herrera, and maybe once every 2-3 months I'll have to resubscribe to them because apparently TH-cam doesn't like the idea of people being subbed to gun tubers and less politically correct TH-cam channels.
Jeez how can someone keep up with 5000 channels lol I stuck to my handful of usuals then branch off to what I call one hit wonder videos because some channels make a great video then you have no other videos like it on there lol
They gave full credit in the description but I feel the need to recommend the channel Scary Interesting, they post really good and detailed "cave diving horror stories". for real information and insight, come to this channel. for a good, detailed, accurate story without a bunch of "diver language" or complicated phrases, scary interesting is the channel for you. I wish someday divetalk and scaryinteresting do a video together :)
Yall say some real unnecessary stuff. Dude in the hat seems respectful but the other guy just can't help himself. Gotta add his lil personal comments. Yeah I'm sure dude ran outta air cus his fiancé was trying to figure out her password.
Can confirm. TH-cam unsubed me from your channel and i just had to resub. The recommended system seems to still know i watch your channel though because this video popped up for me.
Here in Portugal, most dive shops will give you a "stubby" 12 liter tank for dives "80 cu" , at wreck dives some will give you a 15 liter tank, the weight between the 2 is negligible , I have 2 of my own, the 12 liter weights about 16 kg the 15 liter weights 17 kg to 18 kg, and you don't get aluminum tanks here, only steel tanks, and dive shops won't give the gigantic 18 liter or 20 liter tanks "20 liter tank is the biggest tank you can wear". Nitrox here in Portugal, is not common, for a 30 meter dive, most likely they will give you only air, I see a lot of confusion on the video, Nitrox will not give you more bottom time, will only expand the NDL to levels that are safer than air, "fortunately 2 years of Dive Talk thought me that" and most likely the Nitrox that they gave him, was the 32% Nitrox, the most common "non technical" mixture here. I bet this wreck was not at Portugal Mainland, we don't have that many intact wrecks here, I bet this dive was at Madeira Island, specifically to the Navy Corvette General Pereira D'Eça sunken as an artificial reef at exactly 30 meters depth at "Porto Santo, Madeira" but I also was expecting that a diver that has wreck specialization with penetration "he entered inside the Corvette" should be completely ok with the precise weights and buoyancy control, this whole situation smells like "you don't have enough certifications and experience to dive at that wreck"
The weight difference is even less underwater due to the increased buoyancy of a larger tank when it is full of gas that is lighter than the water around. To the point where you might even need more weights with a larger tank when its full.
@@Nilboggen What.... when I lived in Europe, all I ever used was 15L tanks and the tanks didn't give you more buoyancy over a 10L. that was mainly used for shallow and training dives or rigged as doubles. My 2 personally owned tanks were 120 steel that I had with them. I could make dives without adding any weight. The surface weight was 67 lbs. I used them with my drysuit and only used weights for trim. Now, if using AL tanks, there is a positive buoyancy when lower pressure, I sold my steel tanks and just kept AL tanks, not doing any the deep or extended dives now.
@@DB-yj3qc Completely agree with the steel. But with aluminum a larger tank when full should have more buoyancy than a full smaller tank underwater. Between full and close to empty it should have around a 4-5 pound swing. From like -1 to -2 pounds when at 3000psi to like +2 to +3 pounds when down to 500psi for an aluminum 11 liter/ 80 cu/ft.
i watch every one of your videos and for some reason they stopped putting you in my regular recommended list... but dont worry i will always take the time to refind you guys!!!!!
Hi Gus, your liter to cu.ft. conversion is way off. An AL80 has only 11.1L internal volume. A 12L is about a 100cf, a 15 is about an 120cf at working pressure. My 12s weigh 13.5kg while the Faber product information says that their 15s are manufactured to a weight of 17.8kg. So we have a difference of 4.3kg empty weight, which is 9.5lbs.
I’m really glad to hear you comment on this video. I recognized this TH-camr’s voice right away. I subscribed when he started his channel but quit the channel when he began posting videos of “the most gruesome deaths” #1, #2, etc., just horrible. I felt he was sensationalizing these deaths and tragedies. Stuff happens, but we don’t need to make a spectacle of someone’s terrible misfortune. Thank you guys.

Doesn't sound like he had enough training to even go into the wreck. I'm an instructor and have seen too many times where a parent takes their kids diving way beyond the level of training they've had.
Dang Skippy I've been a Diver for decades and I still don't have a need to inter a wreck.
There was a man who took his son to dive eagles nest, if I remember right it was one of the first times the kid ever used scuba equipment.
Sadly they both drowned.
I came here to say this! Shouldn’t he have more than basic open water training to go inside a wreck?
@@Rebeccacell yep
For sure. Without at least wreck speciality you should not penetrate any wreck. Furthermore, unless you’re a technical diver (ie recreational) you should ideally always have “open water” ie direct access to the surface. Some dive masters will tell you to count each meter sideways with cover as an additional meter of depth… but in a silt without training you’ll wait longer for the silt to settle than you have breathing gas in your tank… if you are not trained and experienced with the site - dive safely and stay out
I'd blame the Father 100% - his son was so obviously unprepared for such a dive. Also if you need to ascend then YOU ASCEND! You don't look around for someone to accompany you. To do this you MUST have a surface marker buoy with enough line to deploy the buoy to the surface. Father should have been there close to his son. (UK BSAC Advanced Instructor No. 1719)
This is why we always brief our emergency procedures with our buddies before our dive. If we get away from each other, and cannot find one another for 1 minute, we surface. If I cannot find my buddy on the surface within a couple minutes of that, we call for help and start a search party. Yes, we have very strict procedures for this, and I have myself surfaced once seeing a cavalry of fire dept rescue divers because I was five minutes late to the surface.
Damn. Was the fire department already in dive gear waiting on you? Bc how they got to your dive site 5 min after being called smells like bs
Kudos to the fire dept and for the one who called them!!!
A 4 minute response time is impressive. Fire department showing up.
How it should be
The TH-camr y'all are reacting to, scary Interesting, isn't a diver obviously. I actually do appreciate that, Especially in recent videos, he legitimately has seemed to put in a lot more effort to research things and report accurately
His content is really high quality now. After a little constructive criticism from our 2 favorite divers of course 😉
I started to follow that channel some years ago, when I came across the video "The Plura Cave Disaster"... Then I went down a rabbit hole of cave diving (I'm a Scuba diver, but not cave diver) that ended up discovering Dive Talk🙌. I think The video about the plura cave was removed, I don't know why. There are many other channels that made their own video about it but nothing like the one from Scary interesting.
Love his channel
they literally told you and it is clear its an a i chatgpt maybe youve heard of it
@@dirkdillinger-qz7flit seemed more like chat gpt assisted writing. Seems like he’s corrected course a bit since they called it out.
@divetalk Scary Interesting has mentioned you in at least one if not more of his videos where he covers cave diving. He really seems to respect you guys and wants to report the information as accurately as possible. Love both yours and his channel.
I've definitely noticed some of the channels I'm subbed to just disappearing from my list. I'll be like "oh I haven't caught up with them in a while I should check" and then literally can't find them. It's especially frustrating for smaller channels that don't always show up at the top of the search.
This platform algorithm/AI likes to do this, unsubscribe people from channels and erase comments you make if it doesn't like it, it has gone woke!
@@ezequielortiz4188 what does the youtube algorithm unsubscribing people have to do with woke, i swear people call litteraly everything woke now
@@ezequielortiz4188 nothing to do w being woke. its just bot protection that sucks for channels that are growing or have growth that surpasses its typical standard deviations of growth. if u haven't watched in a while, it appears as "unsubbed" unless u go back to watching them, then will auto-sub you back once u watch a video or two.
There is an option to click on all subs so you then see the entire list.
TH-cam does not automatically unsubscribe you from any channel. In what world would that make any sense from a programming or business perspective?
I think another theory as to why Steven drowned is because he lost grip of the ring and it fell... and tried to swim down to catch it before losing it forever. In hindsight, it's an awful reason to risk it all, but in the moment he might've only been thinking about how expensive and special the ring was.

Man, that last story was a rough one... absolutely awful. Great job as always guys!
The first story reminds me of great lake wrecks here in Canada. The water is usually around 36 degrees at the bottom and many wrecks are sideways, so that ladder could have been leading anywhere. And for his decsision to stay at the bottom, I have dove on some wrecks that not following the exit line, will have you pop out in the commercial ship lane, that can be an death sentence if a 700 ft boat is coming your way. Happy to see the kids got it right. Keep up the great work guys
You made me think of an old magazine photo my grandpa kept. A small skiff like sail boat was cutting across the bow of an enormous ore freighter very close on. He had taped a caption on it "Why would you?"
to add to what you said- since I have dove in the are that you mention many times- people may not understand that while you can hear a ship underwater- even a large commercial ship- you don't know where it is. I've done a dive in the very close to a commercial lane to see a specific wreck years ago ( closest waymark is Heart Island- Bolt Castle) but that is considered advanced, because it required a drop off and timed pick up from a boat- and we could not just surface at will due to the ships.
Yeah, why do people forget that massive danger that terrifies me: propellers
This is an example of someone diving beyond their training. I am an AOW diver and I dive with my daughter who is only currently an OW diver. I do not inter any wreck that I can now see through because I have not completed any wreck diving cert. I also would not allow my daughter to dive in ant situation that she was not trained for and we had not briefed for.
The 15 liter tank Callum used is probably a steel tank and his "usual tank" based on them normally going to the red sea would be a 12l aluminium or 80 cuft tank.
The bouyancy difference between the two IS noticable as the steel 15l tank would be 1-3 kg negative when empty, unlike aluminium 80 cuft or 12 liter tanks.
Good guess you're probably right.
Even a steel 12 and steel 15 can have a 5kg difference. The 15L is roughly 4kg heavier and with the 3L extra air accounting for the 1kg making it 5kg
My dad was a plane pilot. When I was young, he had me on a yolk on flight sim 95. Diving and your meticulous attention to detail remind me of him. Thank you so much for your videos. Lifelong sub, no matter what TH-cam purges
if I ever unsubscribe its not me I love your videos
They always tell me it's not me it's you 😢
Yeah I was wondering why I hadn't seen their videos pop up in my feed for a while and clicked back to find I got unsubbed at some point.
Same here aswell a while back it did it to me. I had notifications on and everything.
Yeah I just had to subscribe again doesn’t make any sense
I just resubscribed, I didn't realize it had kicked me out
4:10 When talking about being affected by nitrogen in regular air, my take was the he was referring to nitrogen narcosis when diving. Also he didn't say that nitrogen was responsible for a high rate of air use, he actually said 'for whatever reason.'
wait a second. the first kid had just got his OPENWATER certification. then immediately does a enclosed dive? shame on his dad. and the dive company who has to check his log book and realize he is nowhere close to being certified to do this dive. since he never dove again after this trip, it sure seams like again dad pushed him to dive again that day, and again the next day, im sure dad did not mean to do both of these. but he almost killed his son. smh
Anyone the least bit prone to panic has no business on a deep wreck dive.
@@johnmiller8778That’s me. I would never. My breathing gets right talking about this stuff. LOL.
I was sitting there aghast because how could a parent put their child in such a dangerous situation and not realize they're so incredibly underprepared? He got incredibly lucky.
Right?? A cold water, 100 ft (below limits for open water basic) shipwreck dive. No wonder things went badly.
That kid had clearly no training at all. When I got certified, my first open water dive was practicing removing your mask, and separately, removing your regulator and buddy breathing. When I let go of my regulator and put my buddy's octo in my mouth, I breathed out to push out the water. But somehow my mouth was still full of water. So I breathed out harder. And with no air left in my lungs I realized the mouth piece had come detached. I had one second of panic before I knew I needed to feel around behind me for my own regulator again. This was my FIRST dive, and I knew what to do. The fact this kid was doing such a dangerous dive with clearly zero experience is horrifying. I 100% blame the father, who also let him swim off alone. Jesus.
I quit receiving notifications from several channels even though I am subscribed. Yours is one of the highest quality videos I have ever watched.
It's happened to me several times over the last couple of years. Just another thing I can blame on COVID valid or not.
I'll second that Scary Interesting has gotten better over time.
Love your guys content, also Scary Interesting (the channel whose video you reacted to) is the same channel that made me aware of your guys content! Dude may have got some information wrong but if not for his stuff I'd never have stumbled upon this channel, so I'm thankful for that!
Thank you! I'm from Estonia. I discovered your channel completely by accident yesterday. I liked how you reacted to real life situations in the videos and explained all the situations and dangers involved in diving. I know absolutely nothing about diving. Never dived and my family and friends don't do it. I just discovered yesterday that what you are doing is extremely fascinating! And the fact that you explain everything so precisely also helps me understand why and how you do things underwater and above water. The video where Gus surprised Woody, had surprise guest Jacob Childs on air, and you talked about how his "last hours were going" was absolutely powerful.
Anyway, I'm totally fascinated with your content and I look forward to it all the time! Cheers to you and thanks for passing on good entertaining as well as informative content! Thank you thank you!
21:40 The gentleman on the right.. his reaction to this had me dying.. "Take it easy" 😂😂 Great vid guys 👍🏼👍🏼
Newly qualified Rescue Diver here, love the channel lads, really helpful, learn loads and thanks for sharing. Leaving Mexico and back to UK waters for the "summer"
Im in the UK at the moment and its been really nice weather for the past couple of weeks. I think you've just missed the "summer" 😂
@@wondertyzipp8260 yeh i just saw from the diving club! hoping for a better one than last year, but its great for Nav practise in 1-2m ;)
Loved the look between you two when the video said "basic PADI training" I worked at my grandparents dive shop for several years and been SSI certified since I was 10 years old and I shared that look with y'all. Love this channel, not many divers around me since I live in Vegas and my grandparents closed up their shop a few years ago, your channel has helped keep the scuba spirit alive in me so thank you for that!
I think I have watched this channel for the last 4 days almost exclusively. I found you 4 days ago through the Chernobyl videos that I thought were crazy interesting. I kinda got interested in the topic of especially cave diving. Thanks to my location I will pretty much never be able to do it (also kinda financial, training and equipment is not cheap), but listening to your experiences is amazing and gives great insides.
While being a rollercoaster and thrill ride kinda guy and while being no diver, I still love to learn about it. Thank you for providing many details non divers can easily understand and for focusing on safetey! Greetings from south germany.
I have never dive but love hearing the stories.
Scary Interesting’s channel is really good! Not overdramatised and he seems to not infill content with presumptions etc. Good channel.
Scary interesting does a lot of research for his videos and even though he isn't a diver, is very informative. That being said, Callum commented on how respectfully he covered his story in the first video
Been subbed since 15k. Y’all are the GOATS!
Yay! Scary Interesting! 🙌I found you guys because of their channel! They're by no means an expert, but they seem to really try to research more into the content they make videos about, and always cover it sensitively.
He is already close to exceeding his no deco dive. So that low on air is scary!
@ 3:10 he doesnt say the gas caused him to breath more he said for whatever reason seemed to consume air more quickly than most people. Not the effects of nitrogen was making him breath super fast.
Love your guys videos though you both are awesome
Imagine getting a one in a million proposal like that thinking how lucky you are that the man you love loves you just as much just for him to be taken away from you at that same moment! That's brutal.
I was wondering why I hadn’t been seeing your content on my Home Page- and you guys were right, I was unsubscribed to the channel, involuntarily of course. I fixed it ❤ love you guys!
One of you guys made the comment about "well, how do you know?" In the noted of the video he has a short message "Thanks to Calum for sending story 1." Calem is the diver in the story, he knows because he apparently got the story first-hand from the subject.
Gus, I've been following for a while and your videos/notifications had completely stopped several times for me even though I'm subbed and have everything on
Same here. This was the first video to pop up in my feed in quite a while despite being subbed.
"this IS basic padi training" shots fired!
He is explaining why you breath air quicker but my head is literally not grasping it.
It’s compressed
The air/gases are compressed but your lungs breathe in the same volume.
Thats why they have to go to surface slowly. When the gases expand as you get closer to the surface your lungs could basically explode or get damaged.
A few things of note on the first story. The narrator didn't say that because he was "sensitive to nitrogen" that he consumed more air. Rather it sounded to me like there was a pause between the statements, not a correlation. In other words I'm guessing the sensitivity to nitrogen was more along the lines of he's more susceptible or feel the effects heavily of Nitrogen Narcosis at depth, perhaps. And additionally he just has a naturally higher SAC rate (we are all different on that, after all). Regarding the weight you actually agreed with the narrator in that he said he normally carried 4kg, but was not carrying 6. Going to a larger tank, if your own statements are correct that, full, it would add 4kg more then you get to the narrators total off 11kg (thus 7kg more than he would normally carry for good neutral buoyancy, apparently).
The narrator also noted that he'd only gotten certified the year before, but had gotten in some practice dives at local lakes. That doesn't tell us how much experience he had really gotten in that year, however. Add in the potential of narcossis (which as I noted might be what the narrator meant by his being sensitive to nitrogen) and his being in a panic and the simple idea of just following your bubbles up might not be the clear answer to him at the time. Like is noted in the excellent book "Under Pressure" by Gareth Lock whom you've had on the show, finding his buddy (and his father, no less, possibly making it seem even more pressing that's who you go to for protection) seemed to be the smart thing to do to him at that time in that condition. He SHOULD have remembered his lost buddy procedure but it seems he wasn't thinking clearly at the time, which at least Woody does note.
If anything, though, part of my question here would be has he had wreck diving, particularly wreck penetration, training? If so the awareness of a potential silt out and the use of a line should have been part of his training as well and, as such, something very similar to cave diving in those aspects.
yeah that makes sense
Agreed. One year sounds like a very short amount of time to have made the necessary trainings and amount of dives to be properly qualified for wreck diving (not impossible, I guess, but unlikely). And not to mention he was still quite young, 18, probably didn't want to leave without being by his dad's side in the panic.
You will NEVER forget the four diving laws with this little phrase:
Confusius Taught, Better Ventilated Drawers Pamper People's Hind Side.
Charles with Temperatur
Boyle with Volume
Dalton with Partial Pressure and
Henry with Solution
After more than 40 years I still remember
That's how we remember these laws for chemistry and biology ironically enough
Good evening Gus and Woody I've been a long time watching your channel but I've been away working for a bit. I'm so glad that you 2 are still bringing out your videos. Much love from the UK
Thanks guys
I'm a padi advanced open water certified diver, and in regards to the first diver being inverted or upside down. My instructor taught us to keep a little water in your mask so you could always tell which way is up.
I love Scary Interesting. He does an amazing job and loves to do his proper research pr as much as he can
I have been following you for a year or 2 and I have had to subscribe to your channel at least 5 times and I watch every new video you post. It only does that with certain channels and I won't even notice until I wonder why the videos aren't on my feed anymore ):
Holy crap scary interesting is my other fav youtuber about diving. His research is so good
1:08 when I heard that music... It's Scary Interesting!
I love it so much. It creates an eeerie vibe/atmosphere
The first few little bumps of it always give me a shiver haha
I LOVEEEEE HOW YOU BREAK THESE VIDEOS DOWN 😂👏🏼👏🏼❤️ binge watching your channel! New sub!! 🎉
22.20 you said "how do you know" reacting to the fact the narrator said Calum hadn’t dived again, he knew this because Sean from scary interesting (the narrator) got this story from Calum himself, Calum’s post is pinned on the top of the video comments and at the point of me writing this - June 24, the video on scary interesting is about 5 months old. So Sean DID know because Calum himself told him.
This guy is one of my favorite YT storytellers 👍🏼
I've been purged from yalls channel multiple timesall! Never dove in my life. Love the water and love fishing but never had the chance to dive. But I have a top 10 youtubers that I watch daily so I check it everyday. I'll never be unsubscribed for more than 24 hours. Love yall!❤😊
Woody's "Hi I'm woody!" Always makes me smile, it's cute lol ❤.
I not only watch the videos, I became a big fan of yours, your content is very entertaining and satisfying to watch, also, if you pay enough attention, you guys teach a lot of interesting stuff about protocols, security on job and the importance of redundance tools in a stressful and dangerous situation.
I watch you from Mallorca, Spain, a place you both want to come and dive In, in fact you made a video of a Mallorquinian Diver who got lost but came out alive since he found an air pocket, Xisco was his name if I remember right.
Please keep up the hard work and congratulations on your growth in youtube (even with them playing with your subscribers), also I wanted to congratulate Gus, I also lost 45kg back on the day, so I know exactly what you have to suffer to lose so much weight, very proud of you my man, you are awesome, keep it up!
Enhorabuena hermano, muy orgulloso.
P.S. Woody, I know that you know that WE KNOW there is Aliens down there, also WE KNOW you don't make bubbles and you can speak to Marine life because of that.
P.S.2: please, we need you to react to another video of "chatgpt" chanel 😂😂😂😂
Every time I am sad or whatever, I play that video, you are awesome guys 😂
What video is that with chatgpt? I want to watch ahahah
You guys didn't even comment as to why Calum was penetrating a shipwreck in the first place. This video has so many red flags and stupid scenarios that I find it difficult to believe it even happened.
Isn’t it pretty common for vacation dives to bring people to shipwrecks? His parents may have overestimated their son’s ability.
@@samuraisharkie To a wreck. Yes. Inside a wreck with no training. No. A diver with no skills or training should ever be diving in an overhead environment with no clear path to the surface.
It's real, Callum submitted the story to the channel himself. I think his parents made the mistake of bringing him along on a dive he wasn't ready for.
@@maxboo1"shouldn't happen" doesn't mean it doesnt
very happy to see my algo bringing dive talk back into my life. it's *always* at the perfect time. great content as always boys
I’m obsessed with your content! Keep it coming!!!
12:20
The ship could have been capsized, not to mention, it’s a ship, when you dive in a ship, you’re better off sticking to the same hallway, ships ladders don’t always lead out. Hell, I’m pretty sure you can access the ballast tanks. If you don’t have intimate knowledge of the ship, you’re pretty, well, fucked if you get lost.
I'm surprised he didn't pull his tactical dive knife and heart tap himself when his air got low
Got it.
Didnt even notice I was no longer subscribed because I still get so many of your vids in my recommended feed. Never had YT actually do that before
Hey guys you got brand new fan here,
Greetings from Ireland 😊🇮🇪
Subscribed ⭐️⭐️
I'm terrified of yt randomly unsubscribing me from my favorite creators 😭 thank you for the amazing content, guys!!
2:30 I‘ve been very lean and slightly or borderline underweight ever since I was a kid and so many swim teachers told me it wasn‘t possible I couldn‘t float on my back. Like I would try, I would sink and they‘d just tell me I needed to try harder. Eventually I learned how to swim on my back but when I stopped and would try to float I would sink like always. Then in highschool we went swimming in regular PE class and floating came up and I said I couldn‘t do it and the teacher was like „yeah, you probably don‘t have enough fat“ and I was mind-blown because I didn‘t know that was a possibility. Now I have a little more fat and I was finally able to float on my back for the first time last year and I was pretty excited even though it took me like 10-15 years longer than everyone else to do this. It was in salt water which is easier but still, yay lol.
I was one of the people who was purged from subscribing, but I watch dive talk almost every day of the week! Those stinkers
16:00 - Way back when, when a friend owned a dive shop, some of the instructors, during a pool session, would make students swim a lap or two, using the reg, but without a mask. This would show the students, that water would not be sucked up their nose, while submerged.
I did this during my training! But this was about 19 years ago, so maybe they’ve stopped doing that.
That is one thing I want to practice next time I go diving. I struggle/nearly panic when without a mask underwater.
That was a requirement when I went through open water training.. if you didn't pass, no C card.... Isn't that a requirement still? 😳
@@DB-yj3qc For PADI evidentially not since I got my open water without doing that haha
Glad you guys mentioned it, I just looked and realized YT randomly unsubscribed me.
This is happening to me as well. I’m glad it’s not just me! I thought all the sudden my channel was falling off 😂
TH-cam can't accurately determine bot accounts from real accounts. Instead of making a way, they want to focus on TH-cam Games, and TH-cam Shop. They are greedy monster corporation, but such is the world.
Love waking up to some dive talk, after your guys vids I definitely want to get certified to dive once I can afford it
I don't often dive single tank these days, but my weighting for a steel 15l is the same as for a 12l.
It's a little bit heavier, but I agree it is not significant. My guess it's about 1 kg of extra negative buoyancy, not really enough to adjust your equipment...
Switching suits makes more of a difference yeah
I can’t believe I went from watching murder mysteries to caving disasters and now just watching all your videos and wanting to get scuba certified, lol
I love watching Scary Interesting. He’s got so many good, creepy videos. And that music he uses is so unsettling. It makes my heart race. He does do a lot of research and tries to get everything right so I give him kudos for that. I heard about you guys from him. Be nice lol.
They r nice, lol
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, YT unsubbed me from the channel. Glad to have that straightened out.
He didn't say nitrogen was increasing his oxygen consuuption. He said "for some reason" he was using more oxygen.
Scary Interesting is a good dude, legitimately.
He cares about the cause, trust me. Doesn’t deserve any negativity.
I just subscribed after seeing you guys for the first time ever yesterday, and your warning about TH-cam literally got me to notice that I was no longer subscribed. Thanks for the heads up
Scary Interesting isn't a diver at all, so while he does do fairly good research on the stories he covers he's bound to get the occasional thing wrong, especially if it's something he's never personally done or had an interest in. Like I don't expect you guys to know everything there is to know about diving even, but especially not to know the finer details of topics you've never experienced or extensively researched yourselves.
Love your videos and commentary, living vicariously through you guys since I can't afford diving gear or certification for the foreseeable future. 😅
I absolutely love you guys and your channel. I am currently saving up to do my open water course so I can be part of the amazing dive community. I cannot wait!

1st video. There's a warfighter saying, in a high stress situation, you default to the last level of training you mastered. Mastered being the key word. I think it's not just for warfighters though, the more I learn, the more I learn that saying seems pretty universal. Evidently, this guy didn't have any mastery of even the basics, and it almost killed him.
What do you guys think? I think it's a damn good observation for your line of work personally.
Another excellent video. Be safe fellas.
That applies to civvies as well as mil. You don't rise to your expectations, you fall back to your training. In absence of training.... chaos, I guess.
@@theKashConnoisseur Yes sir. I believe you have the exact quote there. It all gets jumbled up after so long. It's amazing how something that sounds simple, like DON'T BREATHE THE WATER fails to register when people panic and default to, 'master of nothing.'

It’s because of you one of my biggest dreams is to learn to dive one day !
I know ye never will but I would love if ye did a video just talking about warning signs if you go to a dive shop. Like if you take a breath from the regulator and it tastes weird, or the equipment looks old. Just stuff to warn people, especially now in Summer when we're all travelling to go diving. Would be a great help.

TH-cam has been unsubbing people from everything. They also have a max number of subs per account feature, too, so you can't go over 5,000 otherwise it'll start unsubbing the first on the list in place of the new ones.
I've also noticed that with more risque channels it's more likely. I'm subscribed to Donut Operator and Brandon Herrera, and maybe once every 2-3 months I'll have to resubscribe to them because apparently TH-cam doesn't like the idea of people being subbed to gun tubers and less politically correct TH-cam channels.

Yall say some real unnecessary stuff. Dude in the hat seems respectful but the other guy just can't help himself. Gotta add his lil personal comments. Yeah I'm sure dude ran outta air cus his fiancé was trying to figure out her password.
Can confirm. TH-cam unsubed me from your channel and i just had to resub. The recommended system seems to still know i watch your channel though because this video popped up for me.
Here in Portugal, most dive shops will give you a "stubby" 12 liter tank for dives "80 cu" , at wreck dives some will give you a 15 liter tank, the weight between the 2 is negligible , I have 2 of my own, the 12 liter weights about 16 kg the 15 liter weights 17 kg to 18 kg, and you don't get aluminum tanks here, only steel tanks, and dive shops won't give the gigantic 18 liter or 20 liter tanks "20 liter tank is the biggest tank you can wear". Nitrox here in Portugal, is not common, for a 30 meter dive, most likely they will give you only air, I see a lot of confusion on the video, Nitrox will not give you more bottom time, will only expand the NDL to levels that are safer than air, "fortunately 2 years of Dive Talk thought me that" and most likely the Nitrox that they gave him, was the 32% Nitrox, the most common "non technical" mixture here. I bet this wreck was not at Portugal Mainland, we don't have that many intact wrecks here, I bet this dive was at Madeira Island, specifically to the Navy Corvette General Pereira D'Eça sunken as an artificial reef at exactly 30 meters depth at "Porto Santo, Madeira" but I also was expecting that a diver that has wreck specialization with penetration "he entered inside the Corvette" should be completely ok with the precise weights and buoyancy control, this whole situation smells like "you don't have enough certifications and experience to dive at that wreck"
The weight difference is even less underwater due to the increased buoyancy of a larger tank when it is full of gas that is lighter than the water around. To the point where you might even need more weights with a larger tank when its full.

What.... when I lived in Europe, all I ever used was 15L tanks and the tanks didn't give you more buoyancy over a 10L. that was mainly used for shallow and training dives or rigged as doubles. My 2 personally owned tanks were 120 steel that I had with them. I could make dives without adding any weight. The surface weight was 67 lbs. I used them with my drysuit and only used weights for trim. Now, if using AL tanks, there is a positive buoyancy when lower pressure, I sold my steel tanks and just kept AL tanks, not doing any the deep or extended dives now.

Completely agree with the steel. But with aluminum a larger tank when full should have more buoyancy than a full smaller tank underwater. Between full and close to empty it should have around a 4-5 pound swing. From like -1 to -2 pounds when at 3000psi to like +2 to +3 pounds when down to 500psi for an aluminum 11 liter/ 80 cu/ft.
I prefer to dive steel tanks because I only need a 1 or 2 lbs weight that I put on the top of the tank for trim.
i watch every one of your videos and for some reason they stopped putting you in my regular recommended list... but dont worry i will always take the time to refind you guys!!!!!
Hi Gus, your liter to cu.ft. conversion is way off. An AL80 has only 11.1L internal volume. A 12L is about a 100cf, a 15 is about an 120cf at working pressure. My 12s weigh 13.5kg while the Faber product information says that their 15s are manufactured to a weight of 17.8kg. So we have a difference of 4.3kg empty weight, which is 9.5lbs.
I'm still here guys! Much love from THE Boogie Down Bronx!
That's heartbreaking
I’m really glad to hear you comment on this video. I recognized this TH-camr’s voice right away. I subscribed when he started his channel but quit the channel when he began posting videos of “the most gruesome deaths” #1, #2, etc., just horrible. I felt he was sensationalizing these deaths and tragedies. Stuff happens, but we don’t need to make a spectacle of someone’s terrible misfortune. Thank you guys.
