Tracking Florida Caves! (Where do they go?)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 เม.ย. 2021
- In this exciting cave diving episode, Jonathan and Cameraman Todd take a transmitter into a cave so that Zach-of-all-trades and Cameraman Zach can follow them above to see where the cave goes. This interesting experiment demonstrates how the aquifer in Florida stretches for miles underneath farms, roads and even houses. It also demonstrates how the aquifer can be affected by things above it.
This episode is an homage to our friend, legendary cave explorer Wes Skiles. You can watch the original film, WATER'S JOURNEY on which this episode is based:
• Water's Journey: Hidde...
WARNING! Cave Diving is extremely dangerous and should only be undertaken by divers with the proper equipment and training. This video is for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered “instructional” in any way. The dive team that produced this video is fully cave certified with years of experience.

Anyone else ever notice how the picture quality of this channel makes other channels look like they record their videos with a shoe? The colors, everything is in REAL 4K and my phone looks like a OLED TV
Thanks! We take our production seriously.
@@BlueWorldTV most definitely, agree.
Yep, very high quality , noticed. Not a U TOOBER
@@michaeltaylors2456 😂 definitely not
but upload in 1080p
Ok we got to agree Jon is a really busy person he dives under water he does all under water things. He needs 1 million subscribers this year
I agree and thank you!
Let’s make it happened boyz
Na 109 mill

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!
I suffer from depression and anxiety but every month I get to watch your videos and for 10/20mins I can forget and enjoy. So thankyou and please keep them coming.
We will keep them coming!
@@BlueWorldTV inshallah 😊
Yep he dives for us🥰🥰
Now you have something that is worth caring. True i am just an open water diver(beginner) but i constantly make plans to take even the slightest chance to go diving. I believe you would enjoy it too. Consider picking it up if you haven’t already.
@@salmabassiony5998 I've only ever dived twice. Both times when on holiday and only a typical tourist dive 5m at most. Absolutely loved it. Hand fed fish with bread and also had a DVD of the dive to take home. Would do it again in a heartbeat if got the chance to do so.
I just earned my certification thanks again for showing me scuba diving Jonathan!
Congratulations!! woo hoo!!
This video was kind of funny, but cool at the same time. Always a good day when Johnathan uploads.
Guess peacock goes all the way to amigos 37 miles away.
Shhh! 😉
Come on Matt...🤫
5:35 Jonathan I can’t believe anyone has the guts to swim in that tight space
That’s quite open to be honest. There’s some tight squeezes around
@@dannyholden5361 good to know bud
I still remember when you went for your cave diving training... LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING NOW!!!! Brilliant Jo-no!!! xxx
I know talk about taking my life in a different direction. I used to wonder what's the big deal with cave diving...it's not like the place has all kind of marine life.
@@BlueWorldTV SURPRISE! I hope you discover an unknown species on your journeys! xxx
Next episode should be john trying to discover why my dad’s been at the store for six years
mine went to go get the milk
I'm so sorry you guys. :-(
@@BlueWorldTV it’s a joke, most of the time
@@BlueWorldTV we were joking
Mine died, it's ok though i did it.
This is one of my favorite Blue World episodes of all time! It was funny, but inspirational and cool at the same time. Glad to see you're helping spread the word about aquifers and how they're affected by what we do above them.
Glad you enjoyed it! We had a lot of fun making this one.
Thank you Johnathan for highlighting the nitrate pollution from agriculture while also showing people how it is right under their feet ! Along with a waters journey series I will use this to show kids here in south Georgia and north Florida while advocating for protection of our aquifer!
Also I hope one day I get to say hello while you're in Luraville filming !
I trained to open dive, first two "open dives " were weeki wachi springs, and devil's den (where my dive master took me beyond the sign, as a 15 y/o ) had fun and nothing super dangerous happened, thank god.
Also, now I'm scared. Man florida is weird, I wasn't expecting the caves to go that extensively.
I see you've found the secret 27 km tunnel to Branford!
I know right I dive their all the time and I was thinking this video dosent seem right
Shhhh! 😉. Have you guys ever seen Water's Journey???
Branford springs (Twin Springs) is a no mount dive which goes under the old railroad track and the S&S that is there. Very dangerous cave the limestone is soft and is crumbly only know two ppl that took on the challenge back in the late 80’s One was a school teacher and the other a dive shop owner
Ah I love this channel. My mum hasn't been well and my dad died in January so it's great to be able to relax with JB's Blue World. ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear that. 😢
This was a really beautiful cave dive Jonathon! So clear and perfect. Easily the most nonclaustraphobic one I've ever seen lol! Thank you guys so much. Hope you had a lovely Easter🙏🎍🦈🏞️💙
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for making these. The quality of your production is amazing!
Much appreciated!
Its so great to see someone sharing the greatest passion of their life.. I enjoy watching Ur videos, Ur love for ocean life is commendable..
I’ve lived here in Florida all my life and never have I been able to go to see those beautiful underwater caves. Definitely something I have to do very soon. Such beauty under the water.
Jonathan, my wife and I absolutely LOVE your content. We watch everything and frequently dive in the same locations you do. Tulum (Bird Cage), Ginnie (Devil’s System, Wes Skiles (Peacock), Merritt’s Mill Pond (Jackson Blue, Hole, and Twin). You have the best diving channel on TH-cam hands down. Your Nohoch (Bird Cage) video is what made us spend 10 days in Tulum. We just had to experience the Bird Cage for ourselves. It was amazing. Today we made the Peacock 1 to Olsen sink traverse. We love that dive. Tomorrow, the Devil’s system.
P.S. We are both laughing about Scaff’s and the Peacock system. We were like, what??? 😂
Hi! Wife here! We trained at Cave Adventurers. Can’t wait to see the rebreather videos with Mehdi. GREAT bunch of folks over there, Edd & Stacy are the best. Patrick too. ☺️
Yeah, we took a little creative license to give the cave divers a giggle. Shhh! Don't tell anyone! LOL. Thanks for the comments, and so glad you are enjoying the episodes. I'm certain that the vast majority of the subscribers are getting tired of cave diving videos. 🤣. Dive safe and hope to see you out there. We will be doing a collab with Dive Talk at Peacock next weekend.
I can't say enough about the gang at Cave Adventurers! We were there 2 weeks ago and I want to go back.
I would like to thank you because you were basically my child hood and you made me so happy as a kid and you still do it was about 9 years ago
Thanks!!
Happy Easter! I love your channel! It is so inspiriring. I want to live in Florida when I grow up, and be a marine biologist. I love sharks! Cool video! Cool music! Cool everything! It is so interesting that someone can follow you on land! Love it!
Coming Soon on JBBW: John swims out into the ocean to find Nemo
Lol YES bro
“Somebody needs to lay off the pizza”
He says as I literally inhale a slice
That was a really good episode Jonathan. This channel has kept me in touch with diving during the lock down in the UK. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I was excited about this one. We had fun making it and has a little bit of adventure and a little educational stuff.
Oh my gosh!!! It's so incredible how much of nature is such a mystery! What an awesome way to show how extensive the underwater cave truly is. Thank you Jonathan, Toby, and of course, the Zachs, as well as all of those who teach us how very amazing and fantastic our blue world is!!💙
Came here from DiveTalk, was not disappointed, great footage and info on the formation of aquifers.
Those guys at Dive Talk are cool!
Although diving freaks me out, I really appreciate your video content. Thank you for always uploading amazing stuff.
Thanks for watching!!
Rip Wes, thank you for this awesome video. Keep em coming please!
Loved this video! Much love from Holland
Man, this is eye opening in regards to how extensive cave systems are in places you wouldn't expect
Always looking forward to your uploads
That's so interesting seeing the water go from crystal clear to murky as the guys above reached the cow pasture.
I left a comment before saying I completed my open water in Puerto Galera, Philippines back in December 2020. Well, I just completed my advanced open water 3 days ago! 😀 I did it in Subic where dive sites are mostly wrecks. I'll try to gain more experience and do beyond recreational diving. Thank you again for sharing these beautiful, educational videos!
Congratulations!!!! Two big thumbs up!
Awesome that you got certified, always keep that curious and exploratory spirit!
The part of the cave where they encountered the murky water was actually probably a section of the Nicholson tunnel that tends to retain tannic water from the river, which is very interested for its own set of geophysical reasons even though it’s not related to nitrate pollution (definitely a huge problem in the area).
Unfortunately it seems the majority of the surface filming fir this episode was just fake, the cave system at peacock does pass under one road (although not in the area this was filmed) but it seems they took some major artistic liberties to better illustrate their point.
Thanks for doing your part guys!
Grew up in Melbourne Fla in the 60's.....and my father knew the astronauts through his business, and they would go diving in Silver Springs. I just remember as a little girl the stories he would tell when he came home. On those speed boats, too.......and crashed one time, and my mother woke us up to go get them. Fascinating what you are doing, and providing much needed info on the aquifers. More Springs, etc in Fla than anywhere. Texas, and the Ogallala.....
I just found your channel 2 days ago and I’ve been binge watching your videos. Every time I watch I got new things and learned a lot. Your editing and narration is so good. Thank you so much! I think you deserve at least 5M subs🥰
Welcome aboard!
i used to watch you since i was six! nostalgia hit me hard
I’ve been watching since I was five years old, and I’m still watching. Keep doing what your doing, you’re a great youtuber!
Thanks! Will do!
Your statement at the start about how losing oxygen is almost certain death reminded me of the movie "Last Breath" which is a really fascinating documentary! This repair man whose name I can't remember gets stuck while running out of oxygen. I really suggest watching it, it's incredible what the human body can do and survive!
Omg, those narrow spaces gave me chills. You definitely deserve more views 👏. Beautiful caves... but it felt like a suspence movie. I'm glad you made it. Beautiful videos
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job. Would love to see a map of where the aquifer went on a road map or a satellite map that shows the businesses it went under. You know the whole route. That would be cool to see. Thanks for doing this one. You made a great point about the cow waste in relationship to the murkiness of the water underneath. So basically if the farm house had a well that tapped into that aquifer it would be unhealthy to drink because it would be contaminated
We have to admit that this channel deserves more subs and likes! Hope more people can find this incredible channel
I agree, thank you!
That was an amazing video and message!
Nice episode, very interesting
Thank you for this episode Jonathan! Amazing as always. We were at Blue Grotto few days ago. Virgil says HI!
Hi Virgil!!! LOL! She is cool. (Yes, Virgil is a girl!)
I love you and your team especially the one who has given voice for introduction. That voice is soothing.
That's my good buddy Art Cohen. He has a great voice.
@@BlueWorldTV I found him in Behind the scenes video 👍🏼
This was amazing.....😊 thanks
Now, it's videos like these, is the reason witch i love TH-cam

My fav channel, love watching these with my family
Awesome! Thank you!
I love these videos like I screamed when I found out that is was a new video.
This video is also beautiful and educating as always, keep on making video, this channel deserve 10M subscribers
This was first of a kind of exploration from Mr. Jonathan Bird , Cameraman Mr. Todd and Mr. Zach of All Trades . The simple animations in start about aquifer makes it simple for us to understand what is happening in the Cave Systems . Thank You so much Blue World TV .
Simple animations are about all we can handle....our special effects department is minimal! LOL
Watching your episodes makes me want to pursue diving! ♥️ great episode as always!
Go for it!
Love every videos of you...
Incredible
i really adore every single video that you make never stop doing what you love your work is inspirational for all of us. I love the information that you carefully describe what we are seeing as well the amazing cinematography and shots , every time i watch your videos i feel like i am travelling there with you exploring an amazing world , your cave diving videos are always my favorite !!! 10/10 for me you deserve far more watching crowd
Thank you so much!
@@BlueWorldTV thank you for providing us with such an amazing content!
Beautiful content as always. Lots of love to the Blue World team!
Much appreciated!
You guys are awesome I've been following you for I think a few years. Love the music the jokes the documentary quality of videography and education I get on my favorite sport! Keep up the good work
Awesome! Thank you!
excellent video
I love the way u paid tribute to Wes Skiles which auto corrected to smiles ☺️
Bravissimi! Complimenti per i video mai banali. Davvero bravi!
Thank you for the upload I've been waiting on this one! By far one of my favorite dives, sadly I only do caverns and haven't gone for my cave cert yet. Next yall should do blue springs in orange city. One of the most stunning underwater structures I've seen
That one is on our list for the next time!
I'm late again😆
Next episode please I'm excited
a cameradiver filming a cameradiver filming a diver with a camera, nice
Edit: almost 1 million subs! Congrats in advance ;)
Thanks! 😃
I read Jill hinerths book, she mapped a bunch of caves like this it’s a great read.
amazing video! this will inspire thousands of people to think about their aquifers!
I really hope you are right. Florida has a big problem with this issue and most people don't even know.
Wow! I made it early to an episode!!!! Benefits to waking up early! Diving experience when I don’t wanna get cold! ❤️
This was a very nice video about the Florida Caves
Thank you!
I got my scuba license and started my own TH-cam channel because of you guys. I enjoy every single video you post, specially the one from Tiger Beach In Bahamas.
Hey awesome!
Such an eye opening video! Love it
So glad you enjoyed it!
I think it’s awesome that the caves are above the town
Take care always John .👍. viewers from Philippines .
I LOVE to watch your adventures .
I'd imagine that there are many unexplored underwater cave systems in Florida.
Also, thank you for posting these videos. You inspired me to become scuba certified. I can't wait to get more advanced training.
You would be surprised....they have been exploring every hole in the ground since the advent of scuba. I don't know of a single unexplored cave. That isn't to say that there aren't some left on private property...but good luck finding them and getting permission!
@@BlueWorldTV The opened ones would have all been discovered. I was thinking more of ones that weren't revealed yet by a cenote.
such a fantastic and fun idea
wow!! this is really interesting!! especially seeing what’s on the surface! crazy to think there’s this stunning cave system under your average grocery store! keep the cool vids coming!! been watching since i was 10 and im now 16!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow!!! Pretty fascinating there. And yep, we need to take a LOT more care of our world, blue & otherwise xxx
They did something similar for the documentary "Underground Eiger" in the 80s... They even had full radio communication to the surface somehow... Definitely worth a watch if you like cave diving
Super cool🙌
Well this was a good Jonthan Bird video on the wonders of underwater caves
Wow very interesting and educational video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I have those fins and was so glad to see both of you using them. I guess I made a good choice
Such a cool video, as usual BlueWorld team! I've got two words for ya: "tank dolly".
Todd is being a goof...they are not that heavy!
I love this channel I wish you would upload more frequently, keep sharing!
We were managing 2 episodes a month for almost 2 years, but COVID stopped that.
@@BlueWorldTV yes, I understand, it great content! 👏👏👍
Nice colors in the cave! And excellent explanation about messing up our wells! 🌊
Thank you!
So relaxing
Jon, you are tooo good...
This is so cool. I'm ready to get cave certified now. It'd be cool if you could combine the bearing and depth information from your dive computer, then all you would need is a way to measure distance and you could use software to visualize a path. You could then overlay that on a map and get a really deep understanding of where the aquifer is.
Wow I appreciate ur work sir 🙌
One big reply sir I'm also a zoology student
Salute to all divers! 😊😊❤️❤️
I can't believe you're still making videos during Covid.
We didn't film anything for almost a year and we were surviving on the fact that we had a bunch of content at the end of 2019 to get through. But then we did this trip in Jan 2021.
Gettin’ addicted to your videos 🌝🌝
That's what I like to hear!
Nice to be back at blueworldtv😍.
Got my internet back❤️
It's so interesting that just a few feet below the local supermarket is an aquifer - and people (generally) don't even know!
I hope soon to have my caves training and to go inside the caves are amazing.
