I've seen this happen while working in cenotes. It was the scariest thing I've ever watched with two divers doing this at 80' after one ran out of air. They also just continued to dive for another 10/15 minutes as if nothing happened and would not listen to my attempts to get shallower and surface... Truly crazy
The one guy who left the guideline twice, and his friends brought him back to it, then he left again like a moron and ended up starving to death in an unexplored part of the cave after the search was called off-that guy needed a leash.
@@hyrule_hobbit3988 thank you. I signed up for Reddit and shared one of our videos and it got taken down. I’m not sure I understand the rules to post on Reddit because it got removed within a few minutes.
@@DIVETALK I think it depends on the group really. Reddit has a bunch of different groups for many different topics. I actually joined two different scuba groups. Each group has specific rules for posting. Some groups don’t want promoting or advertising. The one I posted in said “no advertising” but I mentioned in the post that it wasn’t advertising because it wasn’t my content.
I totally agree! Not a diver at all, never even thought of it, I was recommended one of their videos and haven't been able to stop watching since! They def deserve way more subs, it'll come one day!
I’m a non diver I just love watching these videos! I don’t know what was funnier the leash or at the end they showed what they went to go see and it was a little sting ray😂😂sometime in my lifetime I would love to take proper diving classes nothing crazy but, I can definitely see why people properly go diving beautiful sites and caves. You guys are awesome keep up the awesome videos!💜💜💜
Have you not seen the actual child leashes before? 🤣 I would run into it every once in awhile , and it was always some spoiled out of control kid with a mother who didn't know that discipline and respect are a must for parents. They may have taken them off the market for safety and abuse issues as I haven't seen one in many years.
@@skullingtonfx4441 Out of curiosity what sort of setting do you see them being used in? Like I could see using one on a small kid if the parent has their arms full in a big city where there is lots of traffic, people and potential predators. Personally though I think that being a good parent includes teaching kids not to run off, eventually the leash will have to go and that kid will have some bad habits relying on someone else to stop them from thoughtlessly running into bad situations. My dogs don't even need a leash, and I can let them out into the yard on their own and they stay in my yard unsupervised. Training is very important for dogs and kids...lol
@@whispersinthedark88 they still have them but most like a little backpack with a leash coming from it. I see them everywhere. Mostly at the mall, zoo, museum, aquarium, amusement parks, anywhere that can be crowded and they don't or can't have a stroller or shopping cart.
Non-diver here. Love your personalities and extensive knowledge. I have always been afraid to dive, but through watching your videos I'm inspired to learn! I just hope my instructor is as grounded and knowledgable as you guys! (And now I know if I end up on a leash, something's not quite right. 😂) Looking forward to future content!
I’m a non-diver too but I just signed up for an open water course. I’m really excited to learn! I’m glad I started going to the gym because I’m sure that diving takes a lot of stamina 😂
I remember my first open-water dive. My weight was off by one lbs. on one side. I spent most of the time using my arms to correct my orientation. It may not sound like a major issue, but I guess this depends on if you're a glutton for punishment. Never again.
Guys, this video is hilarious! Just went through my PADI Open Water certification here in Costa Rica and I must say that I have learned tons more by watching and watching your videos. You guys are phenomenal. Keep up with the great sense of humor.
I'm wondering if that Diver was on a Discover S.C.U.B.A. Dive and so the DM decided " Come hell or multiple blown regs" this guy is going to get what he paid for "Even if I die giving it to him"
The 2 of you are freaking hilarious during this video! You're laughing at the guy filming it - you can see the video getting a little shaking here & there. It' s probably the camera guy trying to stifle his movement from his/her own laughter! I was chucking at your laughs! "Wait. Is he on a leash?" Just too darn funny. 💗
Went on my first dive ever on Sunday. Now I’m addicted to your channel. I still don’t know what I think about diving. I had fun but it was also terrifying in the beginning lol
Hey Gus, I love your channel and I'm a big fan of the cave divers react videos. I'm a newly certified OW diver and learning from you guys has been super valuable. One small comment or feedback, though...sometimes you mention a past video, but don't link it in the description or in the video itself. I have to go and search it in your page and try to guess if the video I'm clicking is the one you are talking about. I think it would be awesome that if you mention a past video you can link it in the video or in the description. Anyway...I will watch you guys regardless :)
I know. I gotta do a better job with that. Thank you for the feedback and thank you for taking the time to look for those videos, I should make it easier for you and others though.
The quality of videos y’all put out compared to your number of subscribers is SO out of proportion. I hope you keep doing this as long as you can. Great content!
Only recently discovered this channel and I'm absolutely loving it so far! Just got my advanced open water PADI certification and I'm hoping to pursue diving further, most likely the rescue diver cert. next. I've been trying to encourage more of my friends to dive with me, and I think the rescue certification course will help inspire confidence in both myself (to have confidence in my own skills if something goes wrong) and others (I'd imagine new divers are comforted knowing their dive buddy knows what to do in crisis moments). Thanks so much for putting out these videos! I love learning as much as possible about this and I find myself listening to dive stories in my spare time. You guys are really doing the sport justice
I am addicted to this channel, you guys are great on commentating on the reaction material. Im not a diver, but you guys inspire me to change that soon.
Hey lads, another great episode. I'm looking at the trim and how they use their fins (not flippers!) - frog not splashing and stirring up silt! Pity I will never put this into action as the THOUGHT of it terrifies me - that's why I came here I think. Anyway, love your stuff and Woody 's wife is a lucky lady! (but so is Gus' s lady as you are both lovely men. I think of you as "mermen" 🧜♂️🧜♂️🧜♂️, that's not weird, is it? 🤔🙄🤣) love from England xx
I have zero dive experience. Your reactions are hilarious! I share your videos with my oldest daughter, who just started diving. I don’t dive, but I actually learn something.
When I got certified I hyped up the free flow in my head so mush and if definitely one of the easiest thing to do I actually started holding back laughter at how I was so nervous. never need to use that skill thankfully one of the few moments I’ll remember like it was yesterday for a long time
I know nothing about diving and dont even want to dive but im laughing along it all looks funny to me, would be my worse nightmare, but im hooked on your videos cant stop watching
I need to ration my dive talk binge sessions. I'm almost through them all but I don't want to run out. You made me an addict and many others I figure too. ^^
Surely! Surely! The "doggy" MUST have pressed the purge on the regulator once or twice and thought "wonder if this actually works properly" lolol too funny.
When we were in Egypt there was a 12yo boy with very wealthy parents. The kid was a handful and had his own private divemaster for the 2 weeks we "enjoyed" his company. His divemaster had him on a leach dangling some 2-3m (6-7feet?) below and the kid was being pulled up and down to avoid stepping on corals. We saw his dad the first day and never again, all other days his DM picked him up after breakfast and delivered him to the hotelroom in the evening. Poor boy, he had some really lazy parents!
@@DIVETALK It is unfortunatly true... 🙄 he was absolutely beyond control and the only time you knew what he was doing was when his DM had him on a leash. 😅 This was almost 20 years ago and i hope he has learnt to dive on his own now. If he survived their vacations...
We were taught, that if a reg starts free flowing, chances are, it's just an ice crystal that has formed somewhere along the way and is blocking the membrane from closing. First aid for that wasn't thumbing the dive, but rather sharing air with your buddy for a bit and closing your tank to give the crystal chance to melt.
Tbh, in defence of the newbie diver with the free-flowing , when my regulator started drawing in water at 25m depth (it was my 16th dive or so and the mouth piece had a tear and was letting water in when I moved my head) I also just reached for my buddy's octo. Didn't even think about my own octo. At that point I was just happy that I could stay calm enough not to bolt for the surface (which I have done in the very first pool session🤦♀️). Sometimes you're stressed, you're scared, you realise you're in water, could drown, and all you want is a safe source of air and a controlled end to the dive. After that my instructor took me to the side and we walked through everything I did right and didn't do right in that situation. Which was very helpful.
As always, I loved your video! The incident analysis approach (or sometimes "pre-incident"... or "pro-incident" as in this case) is VERY helpful and educational . That being said... I'm kinda missing an "everything went well" / "they did everything right in an awesome place" video... WITH the educational approach... I mean there are several channels with footage of the places I´d love to go some day (I do have my diving bucket list... some are way too deep, way too cold -I remember a couple of years ago in the middle of Patagonia shoving for hours but couldn't get under the %"·$%"·$%" ice...-, but mostly waaaaayyyyy to expensive just to get there)... Anyway... as I was saying... your reaction to good practices, things carried out as should be done, etc... BTW, it´s super cool how also non divers enjoy your videos! kudos!!!!
You guys are awesome 👌. So what happends when you breathe in water underwater and start choking? That has to cause a lot of panic to a new diver huh? Or anyone really. I'm sure you train for this.
@joey jeffery Yes, even during your Open Water Class you learn about how to deal with out of air situations, but it can definitely lead to panic if you are not experienced. Last week during a dive that was part of a class I was taking, I performed a bail-out exercise from 200 ft/60 m and as I started ascending my regulator malfunctioned completely and I had no more air...at 180 feet with more than 30 minutes of Decompression to complete before I can go to the surface I didn't really have the option to just panic and bilt to the surface...it is funny how people react to emergencies and how your brain really can be trained on how to react by extensive training and practice. Over the last two dive trips I've found myself in real emergency situations, one 1,400 feet inside a cave when my rebreather got busted against the cave ceiling and bubbles start pouring out of it, the last one at 180 feet underwater after a really deep dive...both times I was able to stop for a second, analyze my options and make the best call which allowed me to safely end the dive and learn an important lesson. Maybe I need to share that story here on the channel some day, this year I've had several real emergencies like that but I try not to share them in here because I definitely don't want to make this channel all about me and my experiences. I rather focus on those divers who deserve all the recognition and praise instead, but maybe some day we get to share these stories if people here are interested. Gus
@@DIVETALK I am interested and would like to hear these stories. I am just getting into the tech world and assembled my twins for this season after renting last year. Would love hearing your real world experience.
@@DIVETALK Gus, id also second hearing about those experiences. I feel like that's the kind of critical thinking we should all be aware of. I Love hearing you guys share tidbits of personal stories man!
You made the comment about overreacting but honestly anyone that gives you shit for that don't think to much about it (as im sure you don't) I know that stuff can go wrong and FAST when diving and it is very important to know and practice the skills to maintain a safe diving career. And not only know the skills to get certified but to practice them and improve upon them each time you dive. My Dive Dad (shop owner) says something along the lines of "The day you learn nothing when you dive, is the day you aren't an efficient diver." and that's very true. Y'all do a great job on your videos. I would love to dive with y'all some time or if y'all are ever in SC diving I would be thrilled. (Only Advanced Certified though) lol
The last time I dove completely with an octopus was at my very first not-real-dive dive when i was like 8 and my future dive instructor held me to him for a 10 min period just to show me what it can be like. :'D
But to be fair, I think many recreational divers don’t get the level of instruction they need to be safe and effective in the water, so they just don’t know what they don’t know.
1:47 While in warm (such as in the video) the steps you describe for correcting a freeflow are good, in cold water the reg can freeze. In a cold water situation you need to turn the pillar valve off. I've seen freeflows (in a training lake in winter) where there was about 0.5m bulge on the surface due to all the bubbles from the free flow, and the pillar valve and first stage had a coating of ice.
Both of you guys are amazing! But there is something about Woody that I absolutely adore! He just seems so sweet and wise and calm and professional, all at the same time! He is the type of guy that I will dive with at any depth, because he seems so put together and trustworthy. Like it’s just a part of his personality. And the way he talks and explain stuff, is just so amazing because he can make it sound so interesting, and simple to understand! Honestly, both of you guys are great commentators! I’ve never tried scuba diving, but after finding your channel, I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m a 25 y/o girl who’ve always been afraid of the ocean but now it just seems so full of adventures! Thanks to you guys! Hopefully I’ll try it during the summer, since the weather here isn’t that great yet. Keep up the good work you guys! Lots of love from Denmark 🇩🇰
🤣 you guys just made my day with that one. I have dove that place multiple times is i a beautiful drift dive, and you always see those guys, it's sad and funny. One time the DM was so used to see people with horrible air consumption that when I ended my dive he grabbed my SPG to check with how much air I have ended the dive lol I ended the dive with 1500psi the DM was over weighted he ended with 200psi and everyone else was out of air... then he checked my weights I had 8Lb with full gear everyone else was diving with 24Lb plus he started laughing he couldn't believe it... it was so funny I guess they aren't used to have somewhat good divers. 🤣🤣🤣
Not what I expected by yhe title XD I've been handheld an entire dive before though. Booked a dive day trip through the resort we were staying at, found out - on the dive boat - that it was at 24m, i only have padi basic which is 15m. The divemaster was really annoyed that the resort hadn't told us, however he agreed after asking my aunt and uncle who also were diving hpw I was in the water. His cobdition was that i held his hand almost the entire dive, incase something happened :)
This is probably what happens, more them we know, on the commercial dive trips in shallow water under the pretence: let’s not ruin the dive for the rest of the group
I love knowing woody is the on replying on this one because he keeps talking about it getting ripped out. Always teaching to try and protect us. Love you guys, never change woody!♥
Woody at about 3:30 : maybe we should've called this Cave Divers (Over)React 😆. I'm bingeing Dive Talk videos and I often find myself surprised when Gus & Woody describe the more negative comments on their criticism of the videos that they're reacting to, as well as stop/start pace. I have to wonder if some viewers were just not as familiar with the concept of reaction videos two or three years ago.For viewers are familiar with beauty TH-cam or Art TH-cam (& other spaces that tend to be a bit more reactive), the set-up here is par-for-the-reaction-course. Regardless, I appreciate how Woody & Gus respectfully explain why the show runs the way it does, always highlighting education & safety.
We need a meme of Woody's face when the video ended! I'm just disappointed that there wasn't an actual dog leash though, like, I was expecting that almost naked dude with the vein about to explode and masks stuck to his face from a previous video would be on it lollll
Pretty standard stuff in Cozumel. Some of the guides run a 7' hose so they can extend the bottom time of the diver with the worst air usage. Since they do drift dives they bring everyone up at the same time and they try to make the dive a little longer for the more experienced divers. Not saying it's right, just that they do it all the time.
We were down in Bamahas in like 2013 or so with some family, I was a newbie but had like 20 open water dives. My uncle breaths air like it's going out of style and is very inexperienced like
I've seen this happen while working in cenotes. It was the scariest thing I've ever watched with two divers doing this at 80' after one ran out of air. They also just continued to dive for another 10/15 minutes as if nothing happened and would not listen to my attempts to get shallower and surface... Truly crazy
They are just lucky mouth piece didn’t pull out of his mouth.
The one guy who left the guideline twice, and his friends brought him back to it, then he left again like a moron and ended up starving to death in an unexplored part of the cave after the search was called off-that guy needed a leash.
Just glad mouth piece didn’t get yanked out of his mouth.
Oh god what a dingus!
What guy was that?? I can’t find the video on it!
@@jessadelix7415 it was a mr ballen video I think one of the early places you can’t go videos
@@jessadelix7415 found it! It was the second story on the eight video in mrballen’s Places You Shouldn’t Go series, titled “Swiss Cheese”
This puts a whole new twist on buddy diving.
That buddy-distance was on point. :D
Nothing better than kicking back and watching my fav Dive boys talk and laugh while learning a thing or 2.
Much appreciated!
Agreed. The perfect blend of entertainment and education. They naturally seem to find that perfect balance. I could listen to them all day long.
This was so funny. “I hope this guy is still on the leash.” lol
Ha I was just hoping he wasn’t gonna end up on a leash where the only thing left in his mouth was the mouth piece. Yikes.
Theses guys should have way more subs..

The leash is pretty popular within the Pacific region, specially with chinese students. In the Philippines I almost saw it every day.

Tbh, in defence of the newbie diver with the free-flowing , when my regulator started drawing in water at 25m depth (it was my 16th dive or so and the mouth piece had a tear and was letting water in when I moved my head) I also just reached for my buddy's octo. Didn't even think about my own octo. At that point I was just happy that I could stay calm enough not to bolt for the surface (which I have done in the very first pool session🤦♀️). Sometimes you're stressed, you're scared, you realise you're in water, could drown, and all you want is a safe source of air and a controlled end to the dive.
After that my instructor took me to the side and we walked through everything I did right and didn't do right in that situation. Which was very helpful.
I'm dying this is like those little kids on leash backpacks at Disney land
As always, I loved your video! The incident analysis approach (or sometimes "pre-incident"... or "pro-incident" as in this case) is VERY helpful and educational . That being said... I'm kinda missing an "everything went well" / "they did everything right in an awesome place" video... WITH the educational approach... I mean there are several channels with footage of the places I´d love to go some day (I do have my diving bucket list... some are way too deep, way too cold -I remember a couple of years ago in the middle of Patagonia shoving for hours but couldn't get under the %"·$%"·$%" ice...-, but mostly waaaaayyyyy to expensive just to get there)... Anyway... as I was saying... your reaction to good practices, things carried out as should be done, etc... BTW, it´s super cool how also non divers enjoy your videos! kudos!!!!
Thanks for the comment and the support. Much appreciated . Good input.
I recently asked if tethering was a good idea. So this video is just priceless 🤣🤣
Lol yeah crazy. Thankfully mouth piece didn’t pull off.
You guys are awesome 👌. So what happends when you breathe in water underwater and start choking? That has to cause a lot of panic to a new diver huh? Or anyone really. I'm sure you train for this.
@joey jeffery Yes, even during your Open Water Class you learn about how to deal with out of air situations, but it can definitely lead to panic if you are not experienced.
Last week during a dive that was part of a class I was taking, I performed a bail-out exercise from 200 ft/60 m and as I started ascending my regulator malfunctioned completely and I had no more air...at 180 feet with more than 30 minutes of Decompression to complete before I can go to the surface I didn't really have the option to just panic and bilt to the surface...it is funny how people react to emergencies and how your brain really can be trained on how to react by extensive training and practice.
Over the last two dive trips I've found myself in real emergency situations, one 1,400 feet inside a cave when my rebreather got busted against the cave ceiling and bubbles start pouring out of it, the last one at 180 feet underwater after a really deep dive...both times I was able to stop for a second, analyze my options and make the best call which allowed me to safely end the dive and learn an important lesson.
Maybe I need to share that story here on the channel some day, this year I've had several real emergencies like that but I try not to share them in here because I definitely don't want to make this channel all about me and my experiences. I rather focus on those divers who deserve all the recognition and praise instead, but maybe some day we get to share these stories if people here are interested.
Gus
@@DIVETALK I am interested and would like to hear these stories. I am just getting into the tech world and assembled my twins for this season after renting last year. Would love hearing your real world experience.
@@DIVETALK Gus, id also second hearing about those experiences. I feel like that's the kind of critical thinking we should all be aware of. I Love hearing you guys share tidbits of personal stories man!
You made the comment about overreacting but honestly anyone that gives you shit for that don't think to much about it (as im sure you don't) I know that stuff can go wrong and FAST when diving and it is very important to know and practice the skills to maintain a safe diving career. And not only know the skills to get certified but to practice them and improve upon them each time you dive. My Dive Dad (shop owner) says something along the lines of "The day you learn nothing when you dive, is the day you aren't an efficient diver." and that's very true. Y'all do a great job on your videos. I would love to dive with y'all some time or if y'all are ever in SC diving I would be thrilled. (Only Advanced Certified though) lol
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement!
Keep up the quality content chaps!
Thanks for this comment and the continued support!
Watching some older ones I’ve missed but this was great guys. Loved the lobster comment. 🤣
Here we are again!!! ❤️
Yeah this one was crazzzzzy
I was in tears watching this one 🤣
The last time I dove completely with an octopus was at my very first not-real-dive dive when i was like 8 and my future dive instructor held me to him for a 10 min period just to show me what it can be like. :'D
Thanks for the comment.
I love the over reactions its the best part! It's hilarious!!!
Ha yeah we like to jam it up.
not a diver but i love the reacts, keep up the good content!
Thanks for this comment and the support.
“Look at that bicycle” 🤣
It’s insane. Lol
But to be fair, I think many recreational divers don’t get the level of instruction they need to be safe and effective in the water, so they just don’t know what they don’t know.
This, in the world of underwater relationships, is a submissive diver. 🤭
1:47 While in warm (such as in the video) the steps you describe for correcting a freeflow are good, in cold water the reg can freeze.
In a cold water situation you need to turn the pillar valve off. I've seen freeflows (in a training lake in winter) where there was about 0.5m bulge on the surface due to all the bubbles from the free flow, and the pillar valve and first stage had a coating of ice.
I guess there really be something precious in the briny deep.
Perhaps.
So that's the "OL' ball and chain" 😂
Yes, lol
I've seen this vid of yours before already, but I'm back because of the tandem diving. lol.
Both of you guys are amazing! But there is something about Woody that I absolutely adore! He just seems so sweet and wise and calm and professional, all at the same time! He is the type of guy that I will dive with at any depth, because he seems so put together and trustworthy. Like it’s just a part of his personality. And the way he talks and explain stuff, is just so amazing because he can make it sound so interesting, and simple to understand!
Honestly, both of you guys are great commentators!
I’ve never tried scuba diving, but after finding your channel, I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m a 25 y/o girl who’ve always been afraid of the ocean but now it just seems so full of adventures! Thanks to you guys!
Hopefully I’ll try it during the summer, since the weather here isn’t that great yet.
Keep up the good work you guys!
Lots of love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Awesome! Yes, absolutely give it a try!
It looks like the DM is holding a balloon! 😂
🤣 you guys just made my day with that one. I have dove that place multiple times is i a beautiful drift dive, and you always see those guys, it's sad and funny. One time the DM was so used to see people with horrible air consumption that when I ended my dive he grabbed my SPG to check with how much air I have ended the dive lol I ended the dive with 1500psi the DM was over weighted he ended with 200psi and everyone else was out of air... then he checked my weights I had 8Lb with full gear everyone else was diving with 24Lb plus he started laughing he couldn't believe it... it was so funny I guess they aren't used to have somewhat good divers. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it is funny but man if that mouth piece pulled out then yikes.
Woody’s face when the vid ends 😳 “whaaat?!” 😂
Gus “that was bananas” 🍌
Not what I expected by yhe title XD
I've been handheld an entire dive before though. Booked a dive day trip through the resort we were staying at, found out - on the dive boat - that it was at 24m, i only have padi basic which is 15m. The divemaster was really annoyed that the resort hadn't told us, however he agreed after asking my aunt and uncle who also were diving hpw I was in the water.
His cobdition was that i held his hand almost the entire dive, incase something happened :)
Thanks for watching.
This is probably what happens, more them we know, on the commercial dive trips in shallow water under the pretence: let’s not ruin the dive for the rest of the group
I understand that but this was unsafe...although hilarious
I love knowing woody is the on replying on this one because he keeps talking about it getting ripped out. Always teaching to try and protect us. Love you guys, never change woody!♥
Woody at about 3:30 : maybe we should've called this Cave Divers (Over)React 😆. I'm bingeing Dive Talk videos and I often find myself surprised when Gus & Woody describe the more negative comments on their criticism of the videos that they're reacting to, as well as stop/start pace. I have to wonder if some viewers were just not as familiar with the concept of reaction videos two or three years ago.For viewers are familiar with beauty TH-cam or Art TH-cam (& other spaces that tend to be a bit more reactive), the set-up here is par-for-the-reaction-course. Regardless, I appreciate how Woody & Gus respectfully explain why the show runs the way it does, always highlighting education & safety.
These guys have to be like for real BFFs to be pulled like that for so long. 🧑🤝🧑
The leash is to avoid student to surface... LOL
New meaning to guided dive.
We need a meme of Woody's face when the video ended! I'm just disappointed that there wasn't an actual dog leash though, like, I was expecting that almost naked dude with the vein about to explode and masks stuck to his face from a previous video would be on it lollll
Even my wife who’s not a diver saw this and was like WTH! 🤦🏻♂️😂
Lol. It was crazzzzzy.
That is the dive version of the kid backpack thing with the leash🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!
Pretty standard stuff in Cozumel. Some of the guides run a 7' hose so they can extend the bottom time of the diver with the worst air usage. Since they do drift dives they bring everyone up at the same time and they try to make the dive a little longer for the more experienced divers. Not saying it's right, just that they do it all the time.
Scary though. A lot could go wrong fast.
We were down in Bamahas in like 2013 or so with some family, I was a newbie but had like 20 open water dives. My uncle breaths air like it's going out of style and is very inexperienced like
That’s crazy
Least he cant loose the newb diver if you have him on a leash, you know hes gonna follow you like a nice puppy XD
