- Very few lost cave divers survive. But every once in a while--usually only if Edd Sorenson is around--a lost cave diver gets rescued alive. In this episode of DIVE STORIES, world famous cave technical rescue diver Edd Sorenson talks about one of the rescue dives where he was able to make it in time to save the life of a lost cave diver at Jackson Blue Springs, in Florida.

DIVE STORIES is the new series on @BlueWorld_plus featuring famous scuba divers talking about experiences they had in the world of diving. Some are scary. Most are amazing. - บันเทิง
If Edd would write a book about all his rescues and recoveries I would totally buy it!
No. He needs a television series. I mean yea I would buy the book but he deserves worldwide exposure.
Me too!
@@Dharmarenee Problem with that. Most rescues are body recoveries. But I agree. Just to listen or read about his diving would be a favorite
@@mavica130 I have a morbid fascination so I'm game.
I would buy 4. His rescue stories are literally legendary from what I’ve heard an seen.
I literally just came here from the Dive Talk interview with Edd thinking man I want to see more Edd. What a legend... also first
Think about how many families he has helped and brought closure for them...and the only compensation he takes from these rescues/recoveries is praise..
@@davelowesky8054 for sure and he always strikes me in his interviews as someone who is humble about the praise, but that isn't why he does it.
Hell yeah
That's how I found out about Edd.
Same. Dudes a savage
At this point, Edd could describe how a hot dog is made and I’d still listen.
Imagine you're lost in a cave, your buddies are nowhere to be found. You're totally alone in 0 visibility and you know you're running out of air and running out of time just trapped in an air pocket with no gas. As you start to panic out of the darkness a mystery hand just comes out of the water offering you more gas. The guy would be out of it and not even know if it was real in the moment. Actually a miracle.
He really should receive the Congressional Medal of Freedom.
Absolutely 💯!!!
@user-lv2ot4pq7x 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes.
Edd should have a Netflix series about real life rescues he's done. He's the best. I have the most respect for him and what he does.
Rescuing a half out of it panicked diver in extremely tight places with no visibility & then have to calm them enough to decompress before they get out is simply amazing.
insane, can't even imagine the skills and experience required to pull something like that off. absolutely mind-blowing.
It is unbelievable how could anyone do this. He is absolutely incredible
While most people fill their heads with all the fake crap that Hollywood releases , heroes like this man are completely ignored .
In a healthy society men like this would be household names.
That's because, as sad and perplexing as it is, our country subsists on a a diet of sht. From what we watch, listen to, what we read and what political nonsense we eagerly suck in. We're in serious trouble. Anyone believing otherwise is totally delusional.
Edd: I'm doing 100 mph
Jonathan: How far is it?
Edd: Just under a mile
🤣🤣🤣
Not counting acceleration, it would take approximately 40 seconds to travel one mile at 100 mph.
I'm sure a Google search would get the exact time but I'm too lazy...lol
We need more content on Edd Sorenson's stories... he's a legend
More to come!
This is the second video I’ve seen with Edd. There is no one on the planet that I have more respect for than this guy. He is a literal superhero! I cannot even comprehend being able to do what he does.
Definitely a superhero 💯🙂
You should have more respect for president Biden and vice president Harris!
@@michaelvoorhees5978 is this a joke? You want me to have more respect for a man that is ruining the economy such that people can barely feed themselves, warm their homes, and turn their lights on? That's an easy No for me
hahahahahahaha bot@@michaelvoorhees5978
It's weird how he did his first recovery because he just happened to be there. He obviously has a special gift for this
Ed is an absolute uniiiit. What a job. A real hero for sure!
This is an amazing human being. Learned about him from the guys on Dive Talk. Would listen to him for hours. Incredible guy. Pays for all of his out of town rescues himself. Accepts absolutely no money.
when edd sorenson breaths the oxygen asks for permission to enter his lungs. never heard a sound like that in my life.
I see Ed, I click. He made me scared to death. He said "if you ever tell me that you can see the hud in zero biz, come dive with me. I will scare you to death."
The man, the myth, the legend.
I am not much of a praying man but ever since I heard of Ed and his amazing rescues, whenever I find myself praying for something I always say one for Ed so he may always come back out. This man is the best of the best of the greatest.
Edd and Mike are amazing. They risk their lives every time they dive for a rescue/recovery. I would love to hear more stories from them!
More to come!
That would mean that more divers have to drown
@@michaelvoorhees5978 no, I mean I’d love to hear more stories that he’s already experienced. I’m sure he has some
@@michaelvoorhees5978 If I recall correctly, Edd's been doing dive rescues and recoveries for over 25 years, and has long specialized in cave rescues/recoveries. Nobody else has to drown (though I have no doubt some will anyway)... AND Edd could regale us with stories narrated by him, and re-enacted by actors for more than a decade!!!
Throw just a bit of production to the "fade to scene" while he voice-over's the thing, and whether you animate it, or just blue-screen divers in a pool going through the motions, the visuals to work with his telling would get to everyone...
AND GODS know, Edd deserves the recognition... applause... appreciation. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 you misunderstood
"Can you blame him?" "So you don't have to decompress with a dead guy" - Jonathan, you're killing me, I was cracking up. Love Edd's heart for rescue, it's a true testament to someone's character that will risk their life to save someone they don't know or to bring a body out. I agree he needs to write a book. Always loved his story about finding that guy alive in my home state of Tennessee (Mill Pond Cave) who had been missing for over 24 hours; he was a British diver who had been part of the Thailand soccer team rescue team. Insane story.
Yeah we might need to get him to tell that story again with us.
I love Edd's stories.
Everyone loves Edd's stories, and he is good at telling them, so it's fun!
What a story, what a man! This is a super human, not just he dives caves but rescue divers and knows all these details you have to know to save one and is willing to risk his life for others. My sincere respects to him!
2012 began and only 4 live cave dive rescues ever occurred in all of human history......
After 2013 ended..... there was 8......
one man did 50% of every single rescue in all of human history and he did it in less than a year......
Ed is a living miracle. Its almost as though he is either an angle in disguise, or the entire army of heaven drops what they are doin to go down there with him to ensure that Ed and whoever he is looking for has the best possible chance of goin home...
Technical Cave Diver here, if I was ever lost, Ed would be who I wish be called to rescue me!
Me too!
Edd and Mike Young need to do an audiobook together. They both have epic stories!
Edd is a great storyteller, and literally an hero for what he does.
We need more of his story
Ed is like the Batman of Cave diving, he needs a frickin Bat signal and a cape!
I'm a grown man who builds powerlines for a living. Why does Edd make me feel feminine? 🤣 I will touch 7,200 volts and it doesn't bother me a bit. But when I hear Edd's stories I feel like a little girl.😂
He has this effect on most people. LOL!
What an amazing story. Ed is a saint by the way, it takes a special person to do what he does. The fact that he was so matter of fact about having to decompress with a dead divers body just shows it. I am happy this guy lives, what an unbelievable story...
I am honored to call Edd my instructor and friend. He is the man when it comes to saving diver's lives, not only in rescue, but in the way he teaches. I was training cave rebreather with him when the 13 boys in Thailand were lost. During my course, Edd took the time to talk to media and another cave diving legend, Ben Reymenants, who we both knew and who was leading a team helping to find those boys, with Edd offering encouraging advice from afar.
I just took my sidewinder CCR class with Edd and I can tell you he is a tough (which is to say extremely thorough!) instructor, and I feel that I really know what I'm doing because of his excellent instruction. Anyone with a C card from Edd gets respect in my book!!
@@BlueWorldplus Congratulations on your sw training! Yes, Edd knows his stuff, but more importantly, he knows how to impart his knowledge. I was already a technical instructor and cave diver, but he tweaked things and made me even better. He’s a drill sergeant, but you don’t leave his place and caves without being a safer diver. And he’s always available for all of his students. I miss my brother, and lil’ sister Stacy as well. Gambatte from Okinawa, Japan!
I have been binge watching cave diving videos for the last week, the suspense and danger is gripping. Edd's name kept showing up,This man is a true American Minuteman, looking out for the lives of others regardless of the danger. They don't make them like this anymore.
He is a national treasure.
I've got nothing but total respect for eddy .
1. Because he's fearless.
2. Because no matter what he'll find you in any underwater cave and get you to safety.
3. Because of his wisdom and soulful spirit of freedom and the sheer will to want to save you .
4. Because its a passion he totally loves .
And Because I could listen to him all day long brilliant story's so yeah thank you for entertaining my evening guys.
He's very cool but be careful not to put him on a pedestal. "No matter what he'll find you and get you to safety", that's a lot of pressure to put on one guy. He doesn't deserve to be held solely responsible for the lives of lost divers like that.
Ed is an incredible human being, one of god's own personal prototypes, not meant for mass production, but a high performance demonstrator to show the limits of what humans can do.
Awesome interview, amazing person, fantastic story.
Too weird to live, too rare to die.
Someone watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas…
As a former marine combat veteran I can only imagine what stories he holds inside without telling the public. People don’t respect nature and reality of how tea life really happens
Yea life is real life depending on your age and which term you use
This man is a straight up legend! I’m actually in awe of him, he has sort of a surreal aura about him. God bless him.
I can't believe the man didn't scream from the mountain tops what you did for him! That is so crazy! I'm shocked by the ending
I think he was in total shock. Maybe he did thank him more appropriately farther down the road? Anyways I know what you mean.
I think, not 100% sure, but I think on Dive Talk interview he said the guy contacted him later to thank him.
@@toebeans6568 That's right- on the end of the Dive Talk interview he said the guy flew home still in shock, but travelled back to meet Edd and thank him later
i would love Ed to do some sort of filmed documentary on cave diving, all the stories he has. it would be aswesome
Edd is a very valuable knowledgeable professional diver who has a mass of carnal hands on cave diving that's invaluable with a huge Common Sense & bravery. Edd's got decades of experience that's why he's a legend among cave divers.
Great story teller. I cant even wrap my mind around what it takes to find people stuck in a cave with zero visibility! Definitely a super hero amongst us!
I would love to be sitting by the fire listening to the stories this man could tell. I was listening to every word, thinking, "damn glad it wasn't me in that cave!" As soon as he heard the call, he was off and running to save the life of someone he never even met. That is the mark of a true Hero.
Can we please make a documentary / film on ED …the man’s a true hero …🙌🙌🙌
Wow was my heart racing through that whole story. What an incredible human being. I'm not an experienced diver but I know enough to realise Edd's ability in these situations is nothing short of superhuman.
I could listen to ed all day lol this man is a true legend.
Great rescue story! Edd must be a guy with a strong mental fortitude.
He draws the viewer in so much, even though I'm not a diver I can literally visualize every word he's explaining. Absolutely terrifying yet captivating at the same time. Great video! I'm on a binge watch now 😂
😳I can't believe he returned to dive again! That says everything about the rescuer's skills & not about the mental trauma he endured that should've scarred him for life had it not been for Edd's gift.
I love these dive stories episodes. This was one of the best yet.
Hey Edd, thanks for existing
I'm not even a diver but this man Ed radiates a legendary feeling. What a true hero and a brave man. 👏
Happy birthday Ed! Awesome story; I'm happy it had a good ending.
Edd is a true hero.
He really is.
I am an open water diver and I plan to keep it that way. Way to scary….
I could listen to edd tell stories all day long.
We need more Edd stories. He has a lot more rescues than there are stories on TH-cam. For example, he rescued a young girl that had become separated from her dad and brother in a cave they should’ve never been in the first place, because they were not qualified or certified to dive in there.
Oh don't you worry, eventually we will get all of them!!
I saw Edd on Dive Talking. Now i am in my bed, miles away from US (I'm in Romania) and watching all his stories 🤿 What a legend 💪
Edd is one of the best guys god ever made. A true gift to humanity.
He is also a really nice dude!
The Black and Chrome Angel! I love Edd❤❤❤
Edd at first looks like a very serious guy but under all that seriousness, he is very funny.
He has a great sense of humor!
You are a great man, Edd, one in a million, if not more. Regards Cape Town, South Africa.
Wow! Edd is so experienced and knowledgeable of what he does, he makes it seem like just another day at the office.
Edd is just one amazing selfless individual. It scares me and I sometimes have trouble listening to some of the scariest most claustrophobic situations if I actually picture 0 vis, I sometimes almost stop listening just from the description and details. I couldn’t do it, so Edd you truly are a hero and am amazing human being.
I dive, recreational. I will never ever do caves. I am not strong nor brave enough. I have been watching videos of Edd all day. I have a new hero. I cannot understand this man, I can only admire him. Is he even human? Intuitive, humble, brave...
This guys life should be a movie.
That’s Beyond heroic! Thank god for people that say yes to the most impossible situations!
No situation could ever make edd panic, does not matter what it is.
Everytime I open YT it's one of these videos and it's always the same Title, but NEVER fails to make me click it because it's Edd 😂❤ Love listening to his stories.
He looked down and oh shit he was alive!!
The way he talked about it so nonchalantly is quite telling. I have no experience in diving whatsoever but i can feel like little surprise like that can kick start a panic which lead to a lot of demise in cave diving. What a guy.
I wonder if the people being rescued ever get star struck, "That's Edd, wow!" I would. I'd feel silly I was stuck but hey looks its Edd. Amazing.
@Russell Phelan Haha that's great!
Holy cow, what a story!
I love that Edd knows that the past tense of dive is "dove"
What a complete legend, I'd love to buy him a beer lol
If ed has you getting his rig together that is a lot of trust. Hell I'd be HONORED to be the man helping ed SORRENSON get ready to go save LIVES like its NOBODY'S BUSINESS.
It's amazing... Thanks Edd for all you've done an do! Thanks for sharing your life with us.. grateful for the lessons!! ✌🏼💗😁❣️
What is awesome about Edd is that if a person is saveable, and Edd is on the job, they will live. Period. No mystery as to why they call the GOAT!
I feel like the wife just went "Edd right? Ok I know who to call next time your late"
Great video, love listening to Edd, great story teller. The diving community is made up of a really good group of people, at least the one’s I’ve been exposed to. Keep these videos coming, very entertaining!
Absolutely!
I seen this after watching #divetalk with gus and woody talking to Ed about a 2 body recovery in Dubai im sure. I’ve also seen one with Mike with @divetalk. I’ve noticed Ed and Mike sound and look like their taken deep breaths from their breathing regulator when they speak. Ha! Is it only me who’s noticed that when watching videos of them ? 😂 crazy how they take deep breaths like that.
God I love this man, and I just found out about him. Every video I watch I comment Edd Sorenson is a National Treasure and Hero! A true American in every since of the world. His stories should be told world wide. He is what every human should strive to be like.
Ed I just heard your story about rescuing the girl stuck in a air bubble wheeew my guy you are a true hero God bless you you're a bad ass
Thanks for your compassion Edd and service to saving lives ,that was a scary awesome story
Edd looks like an awesome guy. I would love to get cave certified with him.
We have some Edd episodes coming to the main channel!
I dove Jackson Blue in Dec 2020. To check in you go to Edd's shop. My buddies and I went there and ended up chatting with Edd for a good 30 mins. Nice. Guy.
This dude is a literal superhero
Idk anything about cave diving but im amazed there isnt a light strong enough to be seen in those conditions.
So good...what a badass man.
Just when you've about given up on humanity with all the evil you see in the world today, you come across a Blue World video of Edd Sorensen and his rescues, then your faith in humanity is restored and you realize God is still working through good men. I admire Edd and his abilities and good deeds. He exemplifies what a true role model should be. Thank God for Edd Sorenson!
Edd is amazing.
Edd Sorenson podcast would be 1.on my Playlist
Thanks for sharing! 🤩 The end was really cool. There you can see how addicted to dive some can be.
I would love to see a video for these caves and tunnels and crack he was talking about. awesome story and person.
What an absolute LEGEND
This guy is a real life super hero, SUPER HERO👍🤯
I luv Edd's rescue stories. He's an amazing cave diver. Luckily there's a lot of videos on TH-cam about him. Because I can't get enough of this stuff.
What a great story! Edd, you are the man!
I just watched "ED" rescue the guy in Tennessee. I'd never heard of him before. What a Real Life God Sent Man/Machine.. True BadAss BUT doesn't go around acting like one.. This is the Definition of Competent Compassionate Respectful Highest of Intelligence & Integrity type of man that will Never be Matched.. GOD 🙏🙏🙏 BLESS HIM , HIS FAMILY & HIS FRIENDS. AMEN.
Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka BOSTON STRONG
Damn. What an absolute unit 😅👍
Imagine that, Edd's student realized something was wrong and bailed. I won't ever be a cave diver but if I was going to do that this is the guy for sure.
Absolutely love hearing Edd speak and tell us of his adventures and stories
💪🥇🏆🤿🧴
If I ever got to save Edd from a cave, I would consider myself very lucky. Only problem is I don't have scuba experience and I'm extremely claustrophobic
You are a hero! Much respect from Switzerland
Love your videos and can't wait to see, "Ancient Caves" when it comes to the Dallas area :)
I just discovered Edd few days ago and he’s such an hero! The way he’s also telling the story is amazing! Thank you from all the community Edd! Although most of the rescue are because of irresponsible people we appreciate so much your work. I could listing your story for days
Couldn't even imagine someone fighting to get past you while you're trying to save their life.
Edd “Body part soup” Sorensen!
Love this guys stories
We will do some more stories with him.
Edd "blood layer" Sorenson. My new hero.
