- On this episode, Gus reacts to a video describing a dive at a "dangerous cave" in Florida.
If you are a fan of this channel you probably know where this is going...
Original Video: • Dangerous Cave Scuba D...
I'm no diver but this channel is addictive!
Great!
Me too 🙋🏻♂️
Me too.
This channel is awesome hoping for fresh and always great content!!
Right! Same here! And I know I will NEVER EVER dive much less cave dive! Scared to death of water! LOL! Absolutely love this channel and love Gus and Woody! Stay safe everybody! Cheers!
Hey Gus, thanks for sharing your expertise on cave diving. I am taking notes! Thanks for not going too hard on me LOL, I think you were pretty fair. I will try to highlight the difference between cavern and cave going forward. Thanks for watching and sharing the video, and thanks for breaking down the info
My pleasure! Thanks for sharing our video as well.
Classy response, my guy. Keep on keeping on 🤙 great move backing out of the cave and being aware despite knowing that you’re filming for your channel. Headed to your page after this
Watching the video where you acknowledge limitations with emphasis to not make stupid decisions. Respect!
Hey, Joe! I actually saw your video before seeing Gus reacting. I was actually recommended your video after discovering this channel.
Anyway, great, gracious comment! I’ve seen some of your other videos, and you seem like a class act. Glad to see you here!
To be fair I think Gus shouldn’t have given you flack for bringing a line into the sinkhole. Even if it just goes straight down, it never HURTS to have a line, does it? And if you haven’t dove it before, you may not know the schematics/layout of the sinkhole. You may not know if there’s other passages, or silt, or anything else. Better to be safe than sorry right? And I’m a cave diver.
They tell us to be extra careful, so I don’t feel it’s fair to then talk smack if we are actually being extra careful 😂 but that’s just my thoughts. Like if someone wants to bring 4 lights into a cave instead of 3? Good for them! That’s extra safe. Not a reason to knock them. Now if they only brought 2 lights instead of 3, that’s when you point out their mistake…
They’re like OMG I lost you, hahahaha”
“I mean, they’re just... diving in poison.” That really cracked me up. Gus is a funny guy.
I am glad there are people like you still out there teaching the right way and wrong way of doing things. People get certified and get to confident and make are small community scrutinized . Thanks
Glad to help
I love what you said in the end. I have such an irrational fear of being under water and your channel helps relieve a lot of those irrational fears.
You are so welcome!
That’s funny it makes mine increase lol
I agree Shannon. They are great and deserve all subs
I have to give him props for saying that entering the tubes are dangerous and not to do it. And also I appreciate what you said about dive computers. The two pieces of equipment I never cheaped out on was my dive computer and my regulator.
I love that you and Woody are so concerned with promoting safe diving practices…and that you are so honest, when you react to videos. I, a non diver, have learned sommuchbfrom you both.
I have dove Hospital Hole hundreds of times. There is a sulphuric layer that stays between 70-80 feet or based on the river level. Above the layer is daylight. Dropping below it is complete darkness. This definitely not a cave or overhead environment. However, inexperienced divers can get disoriented in the dark if not bringing lights. Great review of this site Gus. These guys in their video hyped this up way beyond what it is.
When I was living in Gainesville FL we visited many of these places and swam these amazing springs and rivers. We knew divers went down under while we swam then they disappeared! Into the caves It was the 80’s . Thank you for bringing back the memories. Beautiful places clear cold fresh water bubbles up in such a hot salty placePonce de Leon called it the fountain of youth
Have never dove in my life but these vids end up being completely fascinating, keep going with this series.
Thank you for watching! Let me know if there’s a video out there you would like us to react to.
Just found your channel, and I’ve been addicted. Been diving since 2018, nowhere near your experience but I’m working on the steps to becoming a wreck diver. A lot of the youtube Diver’s I watched before I started diving that have some horrible habits/hype their videos up. Grabbing onto coral growth on wrecks/diving solo without the proper training/redundancy. Thank you for your honesty about the sport, you can definitely see your passion in your breakdown.
Reading you I think you are very safe diver and when I saw wreak diving I just remembered the video MrBallen did on the fellow in Florida that got cocky and went out to bring up this yacht and of course because he was alone when the yacht slipped and pinned his leg down so it as a slow death in the end..lots of time to think. So don’t ever get oh I’m all that and a bag of chips attitude just stop. Re-examine danger- a stranger that cares
Love your “Cave Diver Reacts” videos! Please make more!
Roger that! More videos are coming!
DIVE TALK woo hoo! Thanks!
@@madameberlin1370 right?!? This guy is the BEST!
So much can go wrong!
Thanks Gus, just wished I'd found you guys earlier.
Jacques Cousteau, I remember back in the '70s he used to come on TV. What a show!!!
As someone who’s never been diving you have so much information thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Lol
Thìdddrffffŕy6
4 months later and I’m back here watching the old videos. Still love them! Love how your channel has grown!!😁❤️🤙🏻
Aw man I have a 21 yr old kid so when Gus said “liquid farts” and “poisonous”……..I felt that.
Great video! 😃
😂😂
Wheeeeeew! That was a long one. 😉 I totally appreciate you calling these glory divers out for their bull. Unfortunately they are riding the height of the curve of the algorithms. Hope you can grow your channel, and I hope I see you one day at the springs. I always tell people just what you said, it’s super safe just know your limits.
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement.
Gus I have to say I’ve been diving since 2018, I’m a DM, AN/DP Advanced Wreck, and gearing up for Normoxic Trimix this summer. I say that because I still feel like a rookie because I am. With that said I love learning listening to you and Woody. Thank you.
Appreciate your complete articulate descriptions of various phenomena (H2S) etc.-
That hydrogen sulphide layer can really mess you up depending on the concentration. Typically… it’s unlikely to come across high concentrations but when you do, if you have exposed skin for example, even a brief exposure will cause sunburn like effects. It can be incredibly dangerous
The Bogle-Chandler case which is a mystery of two deaths beside a riverbank is theorized to be caused by Hydrogen Sulphide gas. Worth a search for a video if this type of thing is of interest to you.
I’m happily addicted to your channel! Gus and Woody you are phenomenal!! I’m learning so much! The way you interact with each other is crazy awesome and adds so much to each episode. Your attention to detail is very much appreciated and I’m like a sponge soaking it all up !! I know when I watch you guys I can count on the truth. Tysvm! Kudos and congrats on reaching 31K subs! Btw I am publicly subscribed 😁
Just made our day! Thank you!
So let me get things straight...in just one dive this guy almost poisoned himself to death, almost exploded the whole thing, while being underwater, and managed to do all of this while being totally clueless about any of these things and he still came out of it unscathed. Now that's podracing!
Not sure what it was about this video in particular, I've watched a ton of your videos already this past week - but this was the first time I felt like maybe I could dive. I'm TERRIFIED of deep/dark water and/or water in which I cannot see my feet. It's always made diving a no-go for me. And I don't think I'd ever ever ever dive in deep open water. But....maybe I'll look into some low-level classes for training, see if it's for me. Maybe I could do things like Hospital Hole some day. Cave diving though, I'll leave that to you guys!
heaps of non-divers love this channel which is so cool, I am one of those. however this channel has done two things for me, it helped my interest in doing my dive course (booked in for a month to start after a year of watching content) and also made me aware of the priority on safety and learning the skills and staying within what I am confident with.
I spent years afraid of the ocean, within my journey I've had the blessing of free diving just the weekend gone with small scalloped head hammerheads. it was a beautiful experience.
Thanks Dive talk for peaking my interest into a new avenue of adventure.
Thank you fir explaining the safety dive limits, I asked my hubby that question and got an hour of his dive stories! No answer to the original question ha ha .
I laugh sometimes when I hear "cavern/cave"...I've been so used to hearing "cenotes"! And I love the Wrecks off of the Keys in FL.! Great channel, I can't believe I'm just now seeing it?! Keep it up!!!
This channel makes me want to dive even though I've never been in the ocean in years! Great content 👍
Go dive brother 🤙🏼
Hey I’m a fan of dive talk and checked out mikes channel.. you guys are awesome originally here from mrballen and I’m glad to have came across both channels !!! Thanks for the videos and sharing your dives👍you guys are one of a kind
Me too. Mr ballen recruit haha. Been addicted ever since. 👍🏻🤣
A good dive torch is everything! I have a Wiseled 7000 lumen as my primary that is so great. Handmade in Denmark and cost about $700 but it's worth every single penny.
different but I had to hike back at night and had a supposedly endorsed by professionals headlamp...I found it "meh" at best it looked like it was "misty" all the time when the weather was clear, if I planned to do that more I would buy something more powerful for sure (ah turns out it is 600 lumen..okay yep not enough even in air)
I trained in blue grotto and devil's den, great place for beginners and experienced divers as it's super chill and never too busy.
Couldn't agree more!
I could listen to this channel all day, and I have no plans or desire to dive or to go into caves at all. I like the scary stories but I like them to be true and not just stupid exaggerations. I also love the technical information.
Gus you're an excellent tutor. This channel is informative and visually beautiful, too.👍
Glad you think so!
channels like this one is why I love the internet. I'll probably never go diving myself but I get to see experiences of others and hear educated commentary over it. hell you guys might make me try diving one day.
The info you pack into these videos is amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Glad you like them!
Damn, this Oceanic Joe guy is like, the safest diver I've ever seen... He's talking about silting out in 5 feet of water... and bringing a safety line every time you go into a hot tub... man, nothing will ever happen to him!!
😂
I could never dive, it's like my biggest fear on the planet, like diving is the most extreme fear, but I still watch these videos, because they are well made and interesting :) Well done & keep producing
Thank you. Glad you are enjoying the videos!
Me too same
Same here, that is why I overcame the fear, fight it and win. I am doing my open water course and doing well. Visualise everything and leave fear behind.
I really appreciate and enjoy y'alls videos. I am not a diver and probably never will be but Gus you and Woody are so awesome and informative that this is literally my go to every night channel to watch and just relax before bed. Thank you for making these videos and being completely honest with your reactions.
Thank you for watching Kristy!
@@DIVETALK OMG I am so excited y'all replied! ❤❤❤❤
Dood. Thank you. I used to help teach scuba through my dive shop out of Tampa, and would hit the Weeki Wachi bowl and Crystal River almost every weekend for years.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching.
Hello Gus great videos I think you and Woody are wonderful presenters we appreciate the content and style of your presentation! I was wondering if lines ever include lights or something that makes them easier to spot?
Thay don't...they are just made of nylon. Nothing fancy.
Hi Gus!! Love the videos, just one correction on my side (my change to react about something I actually know about!). Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a gas so if there was a H2S layer you would at least smell some rotting eggs at the surface. Also, in water H2S that interacts with water forms Sulfuric acid which is corrosive and very bad for dive gear or even could cause human tissue damage in the right concentration. They form in stagnant water due to bacteria decomposing organic matter, in which H2S is released as a byproduct. This is what happens in the human body, where bacteria decompose food that forms H2S and is therefore not produced by human cells. Anyway, open waters should not dive there if there is a H2S layer.
Some dive equipment like brass boltsnaps get affected quite quickly. Stainless boltsnaps are a lot more resilient.
"Liquid farts, that are also poisonous!" Haha. Love your vids and just subscribed!
Thanks!
Omg that comment made me laugh
Just subscribed. Love the channel. I received my open water certification 3 years ago at a SSI dive shop on Koh Tao Thailand. Opened up a whole new world :) Keep up the hard work and good channel.
Thanks for the comment and the support.
As a non-diver, i would like an hour long nitrogen narcosis video😁
HAHAHA
I too would enjoy this
Hiya, I'm new here. Stumbled upon you & subscribed :) have a lot of interest in cave diving. Great videos mate, keep up the great work. Greetings from Queensland, Australia. :)
Love Australia! Thank you for watching, subscribing, and commenting!
Thanks for explaining what a cave explorer is. I wondered about that while watching your previous videos, “Who’s putting all these lines?”
Thanks for this comment and support!
That was so interesting about the Halocline and Thermocline! Thanks Gus!♥️
Just an INATD diver, I'd never dive with a light that didn't cost 100$. Would love to get cave certified with you guys, I've done deep open water but never went beyond 45-50ft in a cave..looking at a KISS sidewinder setup now..
I'm no diver.....but neither are most of you! 🤪
Thanks Gus, good stuff as always.
I don’t even care about the diving; I enjoy having biological and environmental processes explained in a straight forward way. Some of the conversation is pretty high level fluid and gas mechanics and I really appreciate that.
Thanks
It is addictive. Thank you for the excellent explanations. Plus you are so funny...
I’m a commercial diver... I dive and clean boats haha this is so much gnarlier
Thanks
That is a pretty cool spot and actually is popular place for the final open water cert dive. Did mine there in the mid-90s.
I like these reaction vids also. Cave diving looks ridiculously dangerous. I used to repel off high rise buildings to fix stuff. It was exhilirating work. People thought it was crazy but if you know the equipment and work its very safe. I know cave divers feel the same way but hey, Dick Shaw was super skilled. Anyway its entertaining to hear a guy who knows the deal comment.
Thank you for watching! What you used to do sounds way more dangerous than cave diving.
Props to you for the high rise repelling 😵💫🤤😵
Love yalls vids! I got to dive in Creet and when you see that water mix the first time its like having those drunk glasses on. It was a cool experience. Now that I'm retired I want to continue my skills and get into doing more deep dives.
Give yourself a retirement gift. Get your gear technically inspected; and I encourage you to find a very strict instructor to practice, train, and redo your certifications with before going on any trips.
Our neighbor lost a dear friend who began to be overconfident after decades of diving without issue. It was a freak accident going through a shore break. Surfers found him, and tried CPR unsuccessfully. Our neighbor, his dive buddy, had gone back to the truck for something before starting the dive; but the friend decided not to wait. I'll never forget that. It was devastating to our neighbor.
We all need the humility to recognize that our bodies change; and it never hurts to have experts put us through our paces, especially the safety rules. Your family is depending on you sticking around.
Your channel hit 25K as I'm watching for the first time today. Congrats!
Thank you!
I have never and will never dive. Loving all of these!! 🥰 Thanks!
Same here
Gus breaking out with the liquid farts 💨 I’m dying 🤣
Fascinating Content from Gus explaining toxic layer between salt & fresh water. Also laying out the Truth not just self promoting drama.
Great video, Gus. Really informative. Cave diving is something we've never gotten into, but it is extremely fascinating.
Is 'Sanctum' on your 'Cave Diver Reacts' list? Always wondered if that diving bell in the movie was a real thing. Keep it up!
I haven’t seen the movie yet, maybe I can do a react on a particular scene?
I feel like you could make a drinking game out of every time the guy in the video says "dangerous"
I'm a drone guy, but this channel is so addicting! Great info!
Yes! My kind of recreational activity…much better
Good explanation for the hydrogen sulfide level...makes perfect sense.
Dived at both Hospital Hole and Hudson Grotto...didnt know that about HG and founder.
This is why I love multilevel diving and wish more instructors put some extra time into it. To ascend slowly and even integrate the safety stop into it. I often experience its easier for divers with not much experience to dive around slowly than just hang at 6m because it hard for them to control their buoyancy. Also I encouraged everyone to learn frog kicks instead of flutter kicks. I agree silt isn't a problem because you still have a computer to see if you go up or down and in open water a compass. Sure it's nice if people don't kick up silt but if it happens just breath, stabilise your buoyancy and take it slow from there.
Lake Phoenix thermocline is pretty wicked. It looks like there is a heavy fog on the ground but there is another 30 feet under it that is 20 degrees colder. Zero visibility last time I was up there passing through it. Literally and figuratively, pretty cool!
Lmfao Gus.... You have got to be one of my favorite people in this planet, hands down
You can’t just come up out of a cave, ….here.….you just come up 🤯 lmao loved that comment
Yep no direct ascent in a cave.
I grew up in FL. and used to tube down that river and swimmed the edges of Hospital Hole. It would freak me out at the darkness at just the edges!
🤣 "How could I ever find my way out?"
Gus: "Just go up!!"
Keep telling it like it is my friend.
Don't think I'll stick around for this one lol but I left ya a like....keep up the great work, the content you put out is amazing
Diving seems like a very fun hobby one of those things i probably couldn’t afford but interesting to learn about. That 10ft holder was too small for Mike no amount of money could get me to crawl through a hole that small let alone a submerged one.
This channel got me stoked to maybe try this craziness.
Yeah, not sure why but I just checked one video now I'm addicted to them.
I don't even swim. Why can't I stop watching this channel. I'm hooked
that is good music... what genre does that fall under? I like that style for my kayaking videos and want to know what category to look in the royalty-free music archives lol
haha I love how Gus explains the big balls joke
I just started messing around with buddies hookah rig. I think that’s the right term . I’m not sure if that is even considered diving but just found your channel . I’m hooked plus learning a bunch of stuff. Keep up the videos they are very knowledgeable and just awesome to watch.
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement.
I don’t know if you’re allowed to but the free hugs sign is definitely something someone should do!
We like it
Love every single video they have out. And I'm cavern/adv, not cave. Fascinating stuff. Props, guys!
Woohoo! Thank you for watching!
When I see people grab everything near them I just assume they don't have much experience and I don't buddy with them on charters.
My Mom and her best friend were dive buddies going through classes together in California in the '70s. Those instructors were STRICT. No touching! None of the instructors wanted to deal with moray eel bites. Yipes!
1st of swimmers, boats AND a jetski yep definitely dangerous even without a hole or cave involved, then well with the sulfite it is indeed dangerous, thanks for the explanations about it I saw it in various videos or videogames but didn't know what it was
I am not a diver. But I am fascinated by your videos. Very well done videos. What is the wildlife aspect to diving in general and is there any monsters in these caves...? Where is the kraken hiding?
Same, love these too, fascinating. Good question about monsters/creatures. :)
Haha. There are some interesting creatures. Translucent and completely adapted to living with zero light. They are awesome.
Obsessed with these videos…! What pre reqs are there cave training ?
Depends on the agency and your level of certification
I have never dived and only surface snorkled once in my life but I find you videos very interesting and love watching them. Keep up the good work😁💪
Thanks 👍
Not a diver but 1. i really dig the channel 2. You need to plant a goofy sign in a kickass cave just for giggs. So when you are talking about holding your breath while you ascend..is that in regards to boyls law?
29:26 yeah a good visual analogy for coming up to the surface after you've been down below 30 feet or more is simply slowly oh so slowly opening any carbonated drink, you see as the pressure is slowly decreased to surface pressure you see all that dissolved gas start to come out. At the tiny tiny scale deep inside your lungs, the Alveoli are the bits that get damaged as that gas literally forms ever bigger bubbles inside these little structures like tubes less then a millimeter and of course they are fragile and they can rupture, you'll know if you cough up some pinkish gunk that you fucked up...
Im also no diver but i have been binge watching your videos everyday for the past 2 weeks!! Keep up the cave dive reacts i love them!
Awesome! Thank you!
I got silted out Morrison springs in fla....never went back in a cave since...I was only 15’ in at most
Really cool channel,i like the honesty about it!
Thanks Rodrigo!
I don't dive at all but I really like this chanel, learning a lot. Very addictive!
10:45 this explanation is exactly why I love Gus. Who knew he knows so much?
Quick question about the rope you talked about around 4:30. Depending on the depth of the dive wouldnt a rope, line, or something similar be a good idea just in case a diver becomes disoriented? A rope might help reorient themselves but also poses entanglement dangers.
I used to work on a drilling rig on land and we would have to rig up sensors and alarms for possible hydrogen Sulfide. I’ve heard stories of it killing everyone on the rig. It definitely is nasty stuff.
Speaking of Heinerths, I'm a big fan of Jill Heinerth. Her book was great. I'd love to see you guys do a reaction to some of her videos and/or have her on the show.
She was on the show
@@DIVETALK Just found the episode. Awesome!
I love gus cause he keeps it real. He doesn’t pretend to be an expert, he shares his knowledge because he knows people will watch these other video and try to do this and they are being fed misinformation by these influencers that want clicks . So gus shares knowledge that could save someone life because these idiots don’t know what they’re doing
Hey Guss I'm am an open water diver and enjoy watching your videos. My wife had a question after hearing about having to do a mandatory deco stop. She asked if for some reason you were bleeding because you sliced your leg or arm and needed to surface could you blow through a mandatory deco stop. I informed her that you would need to tourniquet the limb and still do the stop and she goes to what if you dont have anything to Tourniquet with and I replied your SOL and would most likely die either way. But she refuses to accept that as an answer. Could you help me out and give your input into this question. Thank you. Again, love the content. Keep on Diving on.
The answer is: "It depends" - If the Deco stop was like 10 minutes and I was bleeding profusely then I would probably risk it and go to the surface, I would probably be okay, just get on oxygen at the surface while they work on my wound...if my stop was like an hour then that's a huge problem. The question there is, do I skip a one hour deco stop and die of decompression sickness (likely) or do I stay down and lose consciousness due to blood loss and drown...such a horrible situation either way.
The real question is, why are you and your wife having these horrible discussions a couple of days before Christmas guys? hahaha
Here, I'll give you a couple new ones for you to argue over:
1. If a batter hits the baseball so hard that it peels it and the center field catches the outer layer but the core of the baseball lands in the stands, is it a homerun?
2. If you eat a mermaid, are you a cannibal?
Thanks for tuning in and be safe on deco dives!
Oh gosh. My love and respect for you as a content creator and diver has reached depths I never fathomed possible. I am prior active duty Marine and my wife sees fatal possibilities around every corner and wants to be prepared. In her head the chance of her running in to this situation in the future all though not likely but could happen. As she just told me "I am a paranoid bitch." Her words not, always mine. Thank you again for the quick and informative response. Dive on.
Easy answer, Marine. Carry tourniquets. 😊
I had to dodge falling rocks once! Some little kids were throwing rocks from a railroad track at the dive flag in the lake where I certified lol. Not real dangerous...kinda weird seeing ping pong ball sized rocks fall past tho.
i am a physicist and i really enjoy your explanations about water
Love the channel, I’m not diver, nor swimmer. I’m nervous in the kiddie pool, but the videos are great.
Awesome! Thank you for watching. I try to make the content interesting to everyone and not just divers. :)
I have dived either but I can't get enough of Woody and Gus!!
I'm an armchair diver I will safely watch others do the cave diving from my chair.
Man this overdramatization is something I just cant enjoy anymore. Thats why I love this channel so much.
