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. All are amazing. - บันเทิง
I don't cave dive but if I ever get stuck in my bathtub I'm calling Edd!
🤣
Make sure you call the right Ed 😂
@@mattb.6798 😂 lol!!
My husband only knows Ed as the guy he needs to call if I ever need rescuing 😂😂 I don’t even dive
😂😂😂
The fact that he does all of these at his own cost speaks volumes to the type of guy he is.
I’m a grown man but can’t help to think that Edd is one of the coolest people on the planet.
You know you're a total bad-ass when grown Men all across the world look upto you. It's great to see a master excel at what they do.
I've been asking for years now, somebody has to make this into a full show/series, with detailed animations and actual videos from Edd's rescues. I guarantee it would be an award winning hit of a show!
upvote this!!!!!!
I feel like it would be difficult to do since most of his rescues or body retrievals are done in zero to low visibility. But I would watch.
Imagine the feeling of getting lost in an underwater cave, a situation most people don't survive, and being rescued by a stranger. Then the moment you come out you see body bags meant for you and your buddy.... that's crazy
I did. And I'm still conflicted. Best day or worst day. Probably both at the same time.
People like Edd are who we need this world. Humble, selfless, and a living breathing example for others. Inspiring man on so many levels.
He is also just a really nice dude. Friendly and kind. Every time I see him, he gives me a big hug.
Humble? I love Ed to death- he's an honest hero of mine, but he's not a humble man. Well, I'm sure if you change the subject, he may be but- when it comes to cave diving (which is all I've ever heard him talk about) he knows he's the man- and doesn't mind talking about it. He owns it- which is refreshing tbh. I know so many guys who are amazing at whatever their passion is but- they refuse to admit it. You know they know- I play guitar- when you're that good, you know it- but they always act like "Who? Little ole me?" It's kind of patronizing in a way.
@stoneysdead689 yeah I was just thinking this watching it. He absolutely loves to get some little brags in and recounting everyone cheering. It just isn't offensive because its not arrogant and he's genuinely helping people for nothing other than charity and glory.
@@stoneysdead689 he's saving lives, I think he gets a pass to brag a little
@@Randald He's a little cocky but he has every right to be. Lol
Such a great storyteller. He transports you back to this rescue dive like you had been right there with him all along. Such vivid detail. Great diver!
Couldn't agree more!
I still really love scuba, even with incidents like these.
Edd Sorensen is everything.
A great man, too. It must be difficult when you become "famous", to remain just as you are, regardless of what others may think (or over-think) of you. I like the way he gets into the way everyone was at the time. Rich Little couldn't do better. Depth of character and body with a light heart, true to himself - and very probably true to you, too. "And the other guy, he's just sitting in the mud, like a lunch break or something. Just sitting there. A union lunch break."I don't do any diving at all, but I bet Sorenson has a great analytical mind, planning, cautious, accurate - a General rank - and I have no idea what else goes into it. He probably tries to teach that to his students, or at least some of it.
@lydialeigh963 , Ed is not a great diver, Ed is the greatest diver to ever enter a cave, the man has saved more people and brought many home to loved ones.
It’s just incredible how he can manage these rescue dives. No time for preparation, panicking divers, zero visability and no clear location in a cave.
he was born for it
He just sends it
This man belongs in conversations with the likes of Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and The Incredible Hulk. Edd Sorenson is a real life superhero.
Ed is one of the only people that when he says “and everyone clapped” he’s not lying
I just realized why Ed is a role model for even grown men. When he tells his stories, he's very matter of fact while he explains very gnarly situations and doesn't brag or show any ego whatsoever.
Edd is a man's man. A master of his craft, and a selfless soul. I have dedicated over 22 years of my life to rescuing people and I must say this man is the epitome of a rescuer. Thank you Edd for being there for those in need.
Edd “the black and chrome angel” the absolute badass
Wow. This is the first cave diving incident I'm aware of that could be told with a little bit of humor because it actually had a positive outcome. Edd's a helluva diver and a great storyteller, too.
Check out the one where Edd rescued the British Cave rescuer that was in on helping the boys in Thailand. Also a positive ending and there is video of it from Edd's side.
Here: th-cam.com/video/8y6pUXo32YU/w-d-xo.html
There are two other stories that Edd did with Dive Talk (not sure if on other channels) where he talked about two other lost divers he got back. One was a panicked diver and one was actually one of the Thai Cave Rescue divers (calm diver, with some mount footage). His storytelling is amazing!
We have him telling a few more that we will put up soon.
Edd is such an inspiration for all divers. A living legend 🤙
Thanks Jonathan. Everytime I hear one of Ed's stories I'm mesmerized. His courage, demeanor and knowledge are mind boggling.
I'm not sure anyone can truly grasp how Ed's brain works. He's not "wired" like the rest of us. A very gifted individual.
I agree 100%
some instructor...leaves you behind ... Thank God for Edd.
Edds stories are fantastic & Jonathan is a great interviewer. Please sir, can we have some more?
More coming!
I think we all owe this man a beer for all his bravery and selflessness
YES! This guy has stories and it needs to be recorded and shared!
Edit: Can't believe the one student who calmly sat waiting for hist instructor while his instructor was despondent in Stacy's arms at the surface.
That's faith in your instructor!
@@BlueWorldplus In this case, faith completely and entirely misplaced.
@@kimberlycrouch7228He did cry out for help to the real Instructor.
Definitely had more faith in his instructor than he should have lol. Luckily edd sorenson is a freaking legend
@@onearmedwolf6512 This is what im saying
Imagine how lucky those students are to have this happen as the world's best rescue diver is there and able to help .
I remember a story he told about a cave diver whom he went to recover his body, but to his surprise they guy was still alive and breathing from a tiny air pocket.
So I guess there is at least one cave rescue after all.
The one that greeted him with "Are You Looking For A Dead Guy?" And startled Edd was hilarious
I think edd has actually rescued 4 or more actually alive
@@Solon_The_Lich I need the name of the incident
@@darkcarolineriddle I don't remember where i saw the video of that story, i think it was with Gus and Woody from Dive Talk
I really hope Edd writes a book. His stories are epic.
This man was just built different. In any field or profession, you usually get one of his kind once every few centuries or so, the stuff of legends
You can tell he has a perfect mental map of the cave in his mind.
I see Edd and I click. I wish there were more stories told by him. I'm not a diver, I can't even swim but his stories are so interesting and mesmerizing I could listen to him for hours.
You are in luck...we have more coming!
man.. imagine coming out of something like that and seeing the body bags all ready for YOU.... very scary, glad to hear everyone made it out alright your a legend!
Edd is such an interesting person to talk to. I hope he'll one day develop a curriculum and standards for underwater cave rescue. It would make for a really amazing class.
Ed's stories deserve at least an animation to go along with them, these are some of the most heroic stories i've ever heard..
black and chrome angel is perfect description ❤
Ed is such a legend the Black Chrome angel lol love the videos been watching blue world since I was a kid on tv now TH-cam thanks for your great content I also like how now we can contact with you guys so cool
Thanks for being a long term viewer!!!
This guy is such a hero. I love listening to his stories...
Ed is laying out the truth. It's only body RECOVERY TO EXPECT DIFFERENTLY COULD BE CONDUCIVE TO UR HEALTH
Cave diving is dangerous..... These guys were lucky
Fuuu….half way through and my anxiety is peaking lol
Legend - I was not surprised when Ed said he kept the note pad - this man is genuine - taking every aspect of the moment with the upmost respect - fantastic story teller.
Ed you make me proud. Retired Marine and retired divers.74 Best explanation I have ever seen.
G.O.A.T.- Thank You Edd for always willing to be there.
Words cannot describe how quickly I clicked on this video lol.
This guy is a real life Superhero in my book !
The ending was just so short but hilarious " 🤨. . .Thats a bold move"
It must be surreal to come out of a situation like that and see a body bag waiting for you.
Edd Sorenson truly is an angel. The man was definitely put on this planet to do what he does. If you ever read this Edd, you are a great man 🙏👼
I find it funny that there was no need to ask Ed questions since he already know the best way to tell his stories!
Yes, he is the easiest person in the world to interview!
All that guys future students should have to watch this before taking his classes.
I am so excited to hear you both at the Dive Talk meet up!!!
That is going to be FUN!
😮 that sounds amazing!
This man is a beast. Glad to have someone like this around.
This man is a real life super hero. He’s god damn cave diving aqua man! Ed sorenson IS THAT GUY. Legend.
The black and chrome angel might just be the most badass and well deserved title I've ever heard.
16:48 "I decompressed him longer than we probably needed to, just to torture him a little bit more" 🤣
supporting Edd Sorenson and BlueWorld from the mountains of Afghan/Balochistan
Any good diving out that way??? Thanks for watching!
@@BlueWorldplus allot of underwater caves totally unexplored specially in the Bolan region / Sirajabad and a known spot called Peer Ghaib, but these are all unexplored because here people lack both skill and services
Amazing... "I figured Edd would come and get me." Which Edd? LOL. When Edd can no longer dive safely, his skillset will die with him. I hate to say it, but due to Edd's sense of duty, his last dive might include his last breath as well. He goes into some places because no one else can. I hope he can find the wisdom to know when to hang it up. However many lives this guy has saved just through teaching, no one will know. No one has this guy's combination of intuition and skills. We can only hope that he finds a worthy successor.
He is going strong, so that day is a ways off.
Real life hero indeed
Great listening to a hero talking like it’s just another day at the office while I am terrified about what is happening❤❤
I am clumsy enough on dry land, especially when stressed. I can't imagine doing anything in no visibility, fully encased in equipment, and with gloves on my hands. !! Ed is a real hero😍
the kid who sat down in the mud had no idea how close to death he was
He had more air than the other dude, prob because panicking uses more air
Man, tell you what. He's one cool cat. I'm the furthest from a cave diver/explorer, you will never find me near a cave. But I'm a huge fan of his. I think what makes him so great is that he seems extremely focused on safety and rules. I think that should be everyone's primary focus. To have well defined lines, and to never cross those. Obviously these divers are always at the mercy of the elements or their equipment, but I personally feel that you can mitigate so much just by continuously sticking to strict rules. I think what also makes him great is his ability to remain calm when others might let panic set in upon incurring problems. I've watched several of his videos, and he seems to keep his cool by following specific steps, and not shying away from those by letting panic set in, thereby making bad decisions based on fear. And some of that is genetic. He's definitely the "warrior" and not the "worrier".
I’m not a diver, but this man is a true living legend. I can’t imagine how much respect those in the industry hold for him
The whole idea of it being "an industry" is a contributory factor to this incident.
I went through my cave training at Cave Adventurers, did my Sidewinder, and Cave DPV courses with Edd. I’ve heard this and some of the other rescue, and recovery stories several times. I was asked one time about my cave gear by one of my recreational diving buddies. They asked why I carried several spools and a safety reel, I told them because I can’t clip Edd off on one of my D-rings.
🤣 LOL He tells that story too so YOU have created one of Edd's funny stories! I hear that Edd's scooter class is hands down the most difficult class in the diving universe.
What an incredible human being Edd is.
He is also a super nice guy!
Ed is a beast! That's all I can think anytime I hear his name mentioned.
Edd!! I first discovered him from dive talk and he is a legend! He has some crazy stories, and a legendary cave diver and a real hero!
What a guy is all i can say! What a guy.
Thanks, Jonathan for sharing this story of a successful cave diving rescue. I do have one question...
How exactly does one NOT stay to the end of the video when it is Edd frickin Sorenson!? 🤔He is the G.O.A.T! 🙂
Man that instructor that abandoned his students like that is a real peice of work.
i mean he still did the smartest thing he could've considering he apparently didn't know the cave very well. better to come up and get people involved than risk getting lost yourself and ensuring certain death for all 3. Should not have gone in in the first place tho
Yeah, the instructor screwed up, but when he realized he wasn't going to be able to get through that crevice and there was zero visibility, coming up to get help from other people was the best thing to do. Abandoning them would be if he got out of the water and just went home.
He is, but it arguably saved their lives. If had tried to save them himself, Ed would not have been notified until all 3 of them had become bodies.
This guy is something else, balls of steel
Love Eds stories. Something oddly comforting to know even if he has to knock you out then drag you out... as long as he finds you in time, you are coming out alive lol
This guy is the definition of cool
Take this in, the man is a legend and it is a pleasure to see and hear him relate this story. Much respect Edd.
That man is uber calm.
If i was in any kind of jam i'd call this dude..
Edd’s stories are great. He is an awesome man.
"That's a pretty bold move!" Lol!
JB, wishing you and yours a blessed holiday. And the black and chrome angel too !!!
I never get tired of Ed’s stories. Great interview!
I love Ed's stories but we have to get him some better memories like swimming with beluga whales or something
No kidding! Although he told me that he thinks fish are boring and he is afraid of sharks...which I find kind of amusing.
I know Edd rather well, and am down at his place diving at least once a month. I have been an avid diver since getting certified in 85. When I got into cave diving 4 years ago I never dreamed I’d also hardly care about looking at fish, swimming in saltwater, or doing any kind of diving other than cave diving. But I was down there all last week, and already tweaking gear and getting ready to head back down in a couple of weeks. Saltwater…meh gotta rinse gear after that!
Blue world upload + Edd Sorensons dive rescue story??
Epic Christmas eve!!
Thank you Jonathan !
Merry Christmas!!
Black and chrome angel. BACA. Edd Sorrenson. Man Edd you are the GOAT and the GTEWB. (Greatest there ever will be. )
Those guys are so lucky....The Other Ed responded fast enough to Give this Ed a chance of finding them alive. Luckily The second guy was calm....A calm Cave Diver is miles better than a paniced one. You will save a lot more Oxygen too. That is most likely why he had more Gas. It helps to tap on a hard surface though.
I can watch Ed talking about his rescue stories all day long, he’s a legend PLUS somehow one can learn just listen him carefully. I hope one day can stop by #Caveadventurers for one of his courses. Praying for him to stay healthy!!!
Great story and reenforcement to choose your instructors wisely.
Well, if things go sideways the best thing you can do is find Edd and scream at him for help 😂. So, I guess all things considered the other Ed did get them out - if not very elegantly.
@@Seldarius 😂better late than never
Black Chrome Angel…Those are incredible stories.❤
I must say. This is what being a man is about. Do good without gain. Love and respect Ed. So many positive things to say. But yall see what i see.
Edd Sorenson! Such a legend! Thank you BlueWorld!
I love caves and love diving but no way would I put the two of them together, It takes a special breed. Great dive story.
I can't watch this mess without getting anxious and claustrophobic so i should never find myself in such situations.. Nothing but admiration for Edd tho
Thanks to God. Thanks to Edd.
I could listen to Edd talk about anything diving related for hours, especially all the incredible rescues he’s done. He’s unique and one of a kind, a great man with exceptionable skills and ability.
I love these stories so much! Edd is my absolute favorite storyteller.
The G.O.A.T. himself❣️
4:37 when he pulled out a water bottle shaped like an air tank, I about lost it 😂
Man I just kept laughing at the end, losing so many lines and other things in such a comical way and then the whole wait for ed thing hahaha, I can just imagine the guy taking notes to be like "wut"
Imagine when you've been rescued and your very own body bag is displayed that must become a very eerie feeling to comprehend.
The ability to control one’s mind in a high pressure situation is often the difference between life and death.
HOLY CRAP... WHAT A STORY ! So Awesome to know a rescue sometimes happens ... YOU ARE A BADASS EDD!
I could listen to Edd’s stories all day
I haven't listened to a story from Edd in a while. This guy is amazing! His rescues are some of the best stories there are.
Great story! Ed S is such a fabulous diver, story teller and extremely nice person!
This is one hell of a man .great story teller an humble about the lives he's saved. Awesome I could listen to this all night
This man is a national treasure & hero!
I love these stories dude! Oh and that's a really awesome water bottle you got there Ed!
