DIVERS REACT TO DIVER STUCK INSIDE A CAVE PLUS A REBREATHER FAILURE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2021
- Today we react to one of our recent dives at Jug Hole in Florida.
The cave is known for two small restrictions and the question we are trying to answer is "Can BIG guys cave dive?"
During the dive Woody's rebreather had an issue causing the dive to end, the best thing is that everything was caught on video!

By the way I literally had my arm wrapped around a rock so I could film this. Hugging a rock so I didn’t get sent back home.
YOU DID AMAZING!!!
lies
U did a great job, josh!
Thanks for doing your part to bring us this video. And for helping make sure woody and gus stayed safe in that cave. Its helpful to have someone familiar along, i suspect. Hope to see more of you in videos either diving with them, or even of dives you do with others that you maybe send them to share. Thatd be cool. Glad you all got in and out safely.
You looked like a deer caught in headlights that 1st shot lol. I don't know anything about diving , the ocean , a cave, never been in the ocean. I am petrified of water over my head. 3 things...water over my head , being hit by a train or being struck by lightning. I know , stupid random but it is what it is lol. I love sharks , all sharks , they are beautiful and they are powerful but im not going anywhere near the place they call home. I have no clue why I said all that but my question is. What causes a flow like that so deep underground? Also , is that super fast flow what keeps the water so clear? Like a home aquarium? All of this is fascinating to me.
Watching that restriction really made me nervous for Gus. What a treat for us to watch a cave dive with the both of ya.
Golly jee willickers Batman. What a treat indeed
Agreed. This is what we want to see! Good job Gus, for getting out there
@John Clark Oh, oh, help and bother! I'm stuck.... 😊 Stuck in Rabbit's Door
So if Gus got stuck and the pressure built up......would it shoot him back out like a cannon? Now THAT would be a video :D
This is giving me some major Charlie and the Chocolate Factory vibes. It's not lost on me that kid's name was AuGUStus lol!
Where do I sign up for this hahaha
Gus said that he was stuck and it wouldn't budge him.
I'm becoming a patreon if they test that and he gets launched out!! 🤣
This looks super fun with a lot of flow!
You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing...
Please do more reactions to your own cave dives! Including ones that just go without an issue.
You guys helped me get through chemo this summer. I’m almost finished my open water cert now since getting the all clear. on the road to getting certified as a cave diver eventually.
Thanks for the content.
Congratulations on both feats. Did you ring the bell after your last round of chemo.
Congratulations! Great to hear that!
Hows the diving going TheMrClutchy ?
@@Penguin24766 I hope well but no reply 😟
So is like a race to see what will kill you first, if cancer or diving
When Josh panned over to Gus after watching Woody go through that tight restriction, Gus' face absolutely said it all.
That was too funny.
Appreciate you guys commentating and critiquing your own videos and I'd love to see more in the future.
Woody is a true solid friend. Super positive and always encouraging. He was truly happy for his boy when he overcame the task.
Oh my goodness! I'm not a diver and this set off my "NOPE!" alarms! I'm claustrophobic. But also, I can't NOT watch you guys! It's so fascinating! Great job getting thru Gus!
Same with me. I get claustrophobic in elevators. Mad respect for these guys.
Woody, "I love the double angle we got"...*Gus casually wedged* 😂
How cool was this to not only see you guys diving this cave, but then to watch you both maneuver that restriction and then calmly resolve the Rebreather issue … just WOW … this is how proper training and practice gets represented well. Loved this video.
Amen to that!
Please do more filming the cave dives - this was inspirational!!
How did you become a member?
I loved hearing the woo hoo hoo when the guy made it through. Things like that helps keep the motivation up.
Great video and this is why I really like y'all's videos.
I've heard a ton of stories about cave diving, but this is the first time I've ever seen an actual cave dive. I can see the appeal.
My best friend and I went scuba diving, it was our very first time. Also we were staying in the Dominican Republican. We were like 13yrs old and only dove like 25-35 ft. No tunnels, we could see the sun the whole time, and we were in wide open water. Colorful fish and all that. I got to hold a star fish. I put him back where I found him, of course.
Looking back at it now however, there's a few things that make me feel uneasy. First, there were 2 packages the dive instructor offered us. Beginner level (which we chose.) or we could get licensed to dive down to roughly 175-200ft. He came to our hotel pool to go over how to dive and had us practice with the o2 tanks. At which he offered the more advanced class again. We were only gonna be in the DR for 2 more days, but he was not worried about it. He was sure we could kinda half-ass our way thru class, training our and _required_ dives.
Seeing all the checks and balances that go into a SAFE and proper dive. Makes me scared to think what if we took him up on his offer for the advanced class?
What diving agency was it?
Yea….The non decompression limit for recreational divers is 130 feet and you only get like 7 mins at the depth of memory serves….175-200 feet is way deep and getting into the realm of technical diving. If you were breathing just air you would be pretty heavily narc’ed. Sounds like you had a great experience diving but the instructors attitude is pretty suspect..Just give you an idea the PADI deep divers course takes you to 130 feet.
Seems like your instructor was more interested in money than anyones safety!!
Love the vids! I personally appreciate the humbleness…I messed up here, I could’ve done this better. Zero ego is a win for me. And seeing how a problem should be dealt with. Would love more of any dive videos of y’all like these with learning moments. Starting dive training soon!
Congrats!
Guys this is amazing, wonderful footage of two pros doing the real thing.
And hearing Woody's happy noises underwater is a blessing, he's such a gem
At best, I could be the diver that installs the Grim Reaper sign. LOL. But, even that would take me overcoming a great deal of fear and paranoia. Great job Gus and great job Woody for handling an issue correctly!
When Gus breached the tiny restriction and Woody had rebreather failure, I couldnt help but hum the Mission Impossible theme :-)
Glad you guys and Josh were okay!
I'm claustrophobic and terrified of drowning. But watching you guys dive actually makes cave diving look fun. Even with that malfunction, the level of adherence to rules/safety that you guys display at every possible turn is genuinely comforting. Makes this whole sport seem alot more approachable than I've originally felt it was. That really is the value of good training! 😄 Nice dive, guys!
Finally! YES we want to see more adventures of woody and gus, gus and woody!
Make "How to properly carry gear" part of your instruction course and get your students to do it..
that's what I would do anyways.. :)
What about “How gear is properly carried”
@@brettstarrett3063I like it! Make that the advanced class and you can really work it.
Do you ever get a tad bit anxious when in those tight spaces? Seems like that's where I'd probably get a little amped up and might make a mistake. I've been away from the Tube for almost a week so I have some catching up to do with your vids. Hope you guys are having a great weekend! ~ Brian
Thank you Brian. I always thought I would be a terrible cave diver because I couldn’t imagine going through tight spaces like the one you see on the video but I think that if you follow the right progression you are just ready by the time you find yourself on that position. So by the time I was stuck there my heart didn’t even raise a little bit, I was really in “engineer mode”, asking myself “what’s the best way to make it through this thing?” And I was so focused on solving the problem that I had no time to think about being stuck in a tight hole underwater 😁
Also, welcome back!
@@DIVETALK right on, I can relate to "engineer mode"...I go into a similar frame of mind when I get my truck stuck on 4x4 trails. Awesome footage, looks like a really great cave with some pretty intense water flows.
@@DIVETALK woody and Gus, has there ever been a time when you were scared like oh s*** I might have over done it a bit this time?
Btw, please keep these great videos coming! The one you made about the people diving at Chernobyl was so funny.
@@DIVETALK I know your response is a month old. But I hope you see this. I am thrilled that you are not scared, and capable of experiencing so many fantastic things! Just PLEASE BE AWARE, of how the rib cage collapses, AND EXPANDS! You can literally make it in holes, that you cannot BACK OUT of, because of the way our rib cages are designed. There are examples of people losing their lives, because of this. Going into a small hole, that they could SQUEEZE THROUGH, but did not have room on the other side, to turn their body around, to squeeze back through, backwards. Because you cannot suck your ribs in as far as you can squeeze them in. Just please keep this in mind. Make note in your engineering notes.lol You guys are so great! So enjoying your videos!
@@wordswritteninred7171 thank you. I appreciate your concerns, there is a method to the madness. The main reason why as a rule we don’t go through restrictions that require us to take our gear off (a.k.a. “No Mount”) is that we always want to have that as an option. If I can make it through with a rebreather and two tanks on I can always make it back out without any gear on. So in this particular scenario let’s say I make it through and then I get stuck coming back, no problem, I can remove my left tank and try again, if that doesn’t work I remove my right tank, if that doesn’t work remove my rebreather. And I know you could argue that one could get in a super tight spot where you couldn’t even remove your gear but I just don’t go into situations like that. We study maps and watch video of caves before we dive them, there is a reason why cave diving training is grueling and extensive, we don’t “wing” anything.
love how gus said this is bad quality video yet its still better than bank security cams...
Cave divers are bonkers! Watching even Woody and Josh go through that restriction gave me the willies, but it's probably my favourite video of yours so far. Really nice to see video of the two (well, three) of you, would love to see more. Carry on the good work.
Thank you!
My favourite vidoe so far of you two cave diving. 100k coming soon, Keep up the great content Woody & Gus!🙏🏽
You should react to another Mr. Ballen vid also soon to boost engagement! If you have a collab in the works, that would gain you an easy 10k subs
Learned so much from this vid!
Late to this but I just have to comment on the friendship and commraderie you guys are always showing each other and fellow divers. One of the reasons I come back to these videos is the refreshing display of healthy and secure masculinity. This sport is hardcore! So many aspects are physically and mentally challenging. It requires a confidence and fortitude that in many sports breeds gross egos. Not on Dive Talk! At every turn you guys are always emphasizing caution, patience, safety, and training. Recognizing and acknowledging that there will always be some vulnerability and risk no matter how well you prepare; and that to err and panic isn't pathetic or weak, it's human. Great content guys, keep it up!
When you guys went thru the bedding plane you were so calm. I dont know if I could have been like that with the walls pushing in on me like that. Cave divers are truly a rare breed!
That was fantastic!! Awesome actually seeing you guys do the dives yourselves!! That was also great for your audience to see you actually diving and using the training you guys constantly talk about and seeing how beneficial it can be. Yes please, we'd love to see more videos if you guys actually diving!!! Can't wait for the next time!!
Watching you both overcome adversity in different ways on this dive has me so hype the last two hours of this night shift are gonna fly by!
I loved this video! Its great seeing you all in action and really took the fear out of getting a bit stuck AND having a malfunction! watching how calm and controlled you guys are is what I strive for. Awesome Vid.
This is amazing, it shows that not only do you guys talk a great game but when it happens you really back up everything you say. You stayed calm and did what you had to do, I imagine that could have the potential to cause a less experienced diver to panic...its a different game when youre in an overhead environment
This was amazing to see, honestly loved it, but I also hope so much that you guys are very careful about too small of holes/getting stuck in a cave. I've seen way too many stories now about how someone died while stuck in a cave, sometimes on the way back out, sometimes with their buddie(s) trapped on the other side of them, etc. Just don't squeeze into a space that you aren't confident you can get through, even if you are a bit bloated that day
At first I thought Cave diving was claustrophobic and not worth the risk, now after seeing first hand through both your reaction and video how picturesque and beautiful they are definitely post more footage of you guys diving. Gives us all a chance to witness and learn.
Greetings from Norway! Thank you for making all this educational and inspirational content! Not a diver myself, but I am really enjoying going through every single video you guys have done. I've been binge-watching ever since I found your channel a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work that you are doing! 🙂👌
The video was amazing. Also I think it's incredible to see just how prepared you are for this, all the tanks you carry with you and I can imagine just how much peace that can give you if something like the rebreather malfunctioning happens, it gives a lot of perpective to how crazy others are when you see them entering with only one tank.
people asking , can big guys cave dive? , me asking the real question , how the hell do you dive with a beard? i have to shave mine for freediving.
You just need to find the right mask 😎
i love how you guys talk about this dive as amazing memories, i would love to see it more often :) good job!!!
Really cool to see you guys in action, id love to see more of your own cave dives like this - amazing how calm you are during that, so many videos you have reviewed show people freaking out when something goes wrong, but a calm analysis is shown here by Woody who knows what to do once he has troubleshooted the issue, and Gus for realising he needs to get out of the way once Woody has the situation under control - really awesome to see such good awareness from you both, this is a great lesson in how to behave underwater! You guys are making it hard for me to not want to try diving haha. Oh and Josh thats some killer video work given the flow down there!
GIVE US MORE! GIVE US MORE! Awesome video, I really enjoyed and enjoy all the content from Dive Talk. One of my most watched TH-cam channels.
This episode was posted on my birthday! Wow, thanks guys! ;)
I've never scuba dived in my life, and only even contemplated it once, so why am I so gripped by these videos? It's great watching, whether you're a diver or not.
Great video so cool to see more first person perspective with decent quality inside these caves. It really makes you appreciate how breathtaking these environments can be when your properly trained to be there. The editing was also very well done 👍
Never going to cave dive, but what I like about DIVE TALK is the adult, no-ego maturity that you bring to a sport that has no pity for cocky souls. Good judgment = a good time. Thanks for posting. Been subbed for a couple weeks and I really can’t stop watching these vids. Appreciate Edd videos especially.
Great work you guys. I’m a climber, not a caver, here in the UK. I’ve been in a couple of ‘dry’ caves but would never cave dive - though that blue sky, sunshine and Florida water looks very tempting. I’m amazed and fascinated by what you do and been watching your vids for days now! So interesting and informative and the React
format is great. Me and the family did a holiday dive in Turkey many years ago and I now realise that, having listened to Woody and Gus’s knowledge and insights, especially in relation to safety, we were lucky to survive! Keep ‘em coming, I’ll be watching.
Do more cave dives! We want to see our teachers of the deep make many cave diving videos for us to enjoy. Its nice to see you guys in action and practicing what you both always preach. May the air always be recirculating properly in your KISS Rebreathers!!!!
That was wild! You guys both showed great courage. Glad your safe an sound!
I think watching cave diving by itself isn't going to be exciting for a layman like myself, but having your commentary over the top makes it fun!
I really enjoyed this video…it gives a “reel” honest view and your commentary post dive put it all into perspective…safety, preparation, experience, buddy team(s), equipment (proper eqpt., familiarity with, etc). It’s exciting to see this side of diving.
Thank you
I love these videos where you guys talk through troubleshooting what appears to us as serious problems in a dive. It's great stuff.
Nice to see an example of what to emulate in case of issues in a cave! Very helpful would love to see more caves you guys really like, maybe a top 5 from both?
Hey guys thanks for sharing. It was sweet that you guys let us check out you guys doing your thing and of course sharing the cave. Nice work Woody keeping your cool bro 👊👌
Woody I just love you. “You did great” your encouragement and optimism is something to be admired.
I really like that you guys are starting to do more of your own videos!! The commentaries are also great but seeing your own adventures is lots of fun!!
Awesome video guys! Loved seeing you both in action and great to see the problem solving process done right. The video was great quality as well. Would love to see what content you can make with some pre planning. 👍
What an amazing footage and commentary, guys! I admire how humble and honest you are! This kind of video is gold! I am trying to record my dives too and analyze them afterwards! So please, make more videos like that! However, I wish you mentioned a few things in this video, that I think would be very important to know for the viewers, such as depth and time of the dive. I know it's more work, but I personally would love to know how much time you spend going through all these tight restrictions. Also, I like that Woody explained what the issue with his rebreather was; however, I wish Woody would explain what he thinks cause his rebreather to fail. Thank you, guys! Keep up the good work.
Definitely in my top 3 videos of your channel (what I have binge watched so far). Wow! I do hope you guys go back and redive this. Looks like you guys were having a great time. But glad you ducked just in case Woody kept having issues. I love that as a Team (obviously as individuals too) you are all dedicated to safety first. I know this hobby has taken some hits with people who get into dangerous situations because they aren't qualified/certified, but I know the reputation of so many divers is incredibly high to safety. Thank you for this channel. I am looking forward to another video on this dive. 💯🎉🎉
Great video!!! I thought it was pretty clear as far as the quality. Ya it was nice seeing you guys dive for sure!!!! Loved it!!!
Awesome dive, guys! You all had problems to solve (Josh's fantastic ability in camera skills, Gus's restriction, Woody's rebreather issue) in such a high flow cave, that wouldn't have been easy to deal with! (Non diver) I think you smashed it! 👏🏻
Hearing woody say "im so proud of you dude" gave me good big bro vibes. I felt the sincerity and love.
Love seeing y’all dive! Got some major sanctum vibes the second there was a rebreather problem just past that restriction!
I think i can speak for a large portion of the subs here when i say I LOVE it when you guys dive and make content!!!i love your reactions aswell but the homemade stuff is top notch
Really cool to actually see you guys diving and reacting to your own videos. Keep them coming!
Yes, please keep uploading videos of your dives! It’s interesting to hear your criticisms/commentary of your own footage
Awesome! Loved the video since we got a chance to see you guys in it!
Love all the different variations on a common theme you have for your videos! I enjoyed seeing you both diving together and the teamwork you displayed. Well done guys 👍
Thank you!
Great video guys get total anxiety watching you go through that restriction. Cave divers are a special breed lol! Keep up the good work!
I love that you've added the old Podcast intro tune to the videos! Memories from the early days
Love seeing you guys react to yourselves, hope to see more in the future!
I definitely would like to see more of your personal dive videos! That was intense! I was so worried about Gus getting stuck though, I think I watch too many mrballen videos 😆 just make sure you never end up on his show (other than for a collaboration which would be the greatest thing in the world- that really would be awesome to do a joint video both channels post. It would no doubt bring a lot of new subscribers to your page since the cave stuff is mrballens most popular videos)
9:22 onwards:
1) Your fins being up high has nothing to do with upsetting the silt. That is just a nice byproduct. It is because that's how trim is supposed to be. Trim is not about the silt, but rather about being as hydrodynamic as possible. You need to have feet up high, because otherwise either your fins would either not be parallel to your body position, creating additional drag, or you'd be killing your ankles. Also it's pretty comfortable position to start your frog kick from.
2) With the current in the cave, those formations are definitely not thousands of years old. Seeing how the sand is being carried away couple seconds later, if you actually dragged your belly on the bottom, it's within the realm of possibility, that your marks wouldn't be visible by the time you were going back.
Great video guys, I was scared just looking at that hole 🤣, good job on sorting the issue . I'd look forward to more dives 👍
Hey guys, long time watcher but first time commenter. I'm not a diver but really love you guys, your videos and your community, and I'm hoping to get OW certified as soon as the lockdown in Australia lifts. This video was awesome and would love to go cave diving one day. Thanks heaps and appreciate what you're doing!
I have such a huge respect for you guys after seeing this video and seeing you guys all geared up and in action this is the first time I've ever seen this wow is all I can say how do you guys keep track of that enormous amount of equipment I personally don't think I could ever learn all them things no matter how much training I took that's a lot of responsibility
Definitely want to see you guys do more dives. Thanks for sharing your dive!
You guys seem like you have a once in a lifetime friendship & it’s truly a pleasure to witness!
Congratulations on 50k Woody and Gus!
I love this guys, I think you guys definitely need to do more videos like this
HELL YEA post more videos of you two diving. This was my favorite video so far!
This was fun! Even though I got a bit scared when Woody’s having trouble with bubbles blowing, watching Woody calmly shutting the bulb made me calmed down.
I’d love to watch more of your cave diving videos! Please 🙏😘❤️🥰💖
My dad is a diving instructor, one of his students and good buddy was a heavy fellow. He earned himself the nick name XXL. My
dad used to be on the heavy side as well back then, what he didn't know is that we called him "deep sea buoy" ("Hochseeboje" in German, it's a lot funnier) behind his back. 😂
Are you calling gus fat? Not nice at all bro
Its called Fluffy not fat lol
@@brettstarrett3063 No, I actually prefer um... strong men. XXL was a different story altogether. 😂
@@brettstarrett3063 : Gus made himself out to be chubs with his own words.
@@brettstarrett3063 But he is fat lol. It's not mean. It's just the truth. If he doesn't like being fat then he can change it.
Great stuff would love to see more content of you guys diving 🤟🏼
Omg there’s a mini theme song now! Love how far this channel has come and is going
That was AWESOME!!! GUS JUST CRACKS ME UP! I WAS SURPRISED WOODY WASNT SWEPT AWAYYYYY...LOL...HES SO LITTLE BUT YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME DIVERS AND I LIKE HOW MUCH LOVE YOU BOTH HAVE FOR IT! THANKS AND IM READY FOR MORE DIVES PLEASE PLEASE MORE FOOTAGE OF YOUR DIVES!!!
I gotta tell you I absolutely love this kind of humility ! If people can watch this video and still continue to judge when you guys are honest with the reactions , then they are just haters or trolls. Awesome video and honesty about learning , willing to be not the best and being ok with an uncomfortable process ! Little back story I have zero dive experience my history is fighting , gaming and counseling youth. So I purely enjoy this because of both of your passions ! Keep it up, you have much more then just diving fans in your base ! Blessings and safe swimming !
Thank you! And great work!
This reaction vid is brilliant! Pointing out both good and bad examples and explaining the Why behind what you're doing and what's happening is super useful, great educational video 👍👍
Amazing to see you guys at work... Great job!!!
I want more videos like this!!! Awesome seeing you guys work together!!
Hel here- really enjoyed that and felt I was there with you and Joshie.Cool place.Great to see you dealing with a potential crisis,Woody, without any sign of distress;and Gus being a great buddy.Totak pros,all of you xx
Really enjoyed that video guys. I’d love to see more of you guys diving
finally some footage of you guys diving! I'm new here but binge watching the content. Great channel
Great video guys. Shows experience helps on a dive like this.
This video is a joy, brings back and reminds me of so many good memories of our group! Who started as strangers, but all feel head-over-heels with our new world and friendships. I’m worse than Woody for noise, I used to low bass techno tunes!
It's nice seeing more of your guys own dives!
Good job y’all!! Great video and learning experience.
Hell yeah! Would love to see more vids of the two of you diving.
There is so much love for the sport and each other in this video. Awesome. ❤❤❤
Superb! It's great to see your equipment in use. Thanks!!
I’d love to hear you guys discuss using the line in more detail! Great video!! Love you guys
I am so sorry you had to experience that but i CRY from your reactions and comments!
Glad you are all ok!
Wow brilliant thanks guys! Very impressed with Woodys trouble shoot with RB high flow so calm no panic every type of diver should watch this key message DON’T PANIC!
Thanks Gus for inspiring big guys like myself to try cave diving!
Great video. Was very interesting to watch and hear your own comments on your own dive!
Very cool! I’m a fairly new diver (just finished my 15th dive) and I just came back from a trip to this place. Visited here, devils den, and blue grotto on a Clemson scuba club trip during spring break! Been watching you guys for a while and it’s awesome to see you guys somewhere I’ve been (not past the reaper sign, however). And man, is that current intense!
Imagine being a deep cave fish and seeing your first human dressed like that. I'd be scared haha
