I know woody doesn’t mean to cut this guy off when he’s talking and I think it’s funny cause you can see the stress on Gus’s face. And it’s cause woody gets so excited and can’t help his self. They really are the odd couple.
I keep finding myself yelling at Woody to be quiet! And then it's like he wants to tell this guy what he's done wrong so bad instead of just enjoying the story, smh!
@@alliboy23 It's honestly infuriating.. But maybe I just have a low tolerance for that kind of interrupting. The dude didn't seem like he was done with the story, when he said they got out and were wet and smelly, he then gets interrupted, and we're still not back to the ending of the story 4 minutes later in the video.
U no gus gave woody shit 😂🙈 after the video ended
Unless Gus starts speaking up then Woody will think it's ok. I don't think Woody even realises he's doing it so maybe people in the comments can help him out because i bet if he watched himself do it he would be quite surprised in himself. Woody needs to get a toy octopus and Gus a toy shark and the first one to talk picks theirs up and the other doesn't pick theirs up and talk till others put theirs down octopus 🦑 🦈🐡🐙🐳🐬🦀🦞🦐🐠🐟🐚
As someone with very bad adhd woody is my spirit animal lol. I’m not bothered by the pauses at all though, I like them 🤷♀️
When Gus said “ you look like a 45 year old woman going to the Kentucky derby “ I literally spit laughed my coffee all over myself 🤣
TOTALLY.
You were then AIMING for yourself since by spitting it, it should NOT get all over you IF it was reeeally funny and you committed to a good spit laugh... AMATEUR OR LIES...
@@XstonedmonkeyzX have you ever lost your drink from laughing? It definitely gets all over you lol there's no avoiding it
Woody is the fashionista, that keeps the show going, even if the story gets off track. Thank you for your wonderful choice of colour! Keep it up!
The costume change made me laugh.
He's getting more and more ridiculous in every video, and not in a good way unfortunately.
@@rustafar_2354 how so?
@@rustafar_2354 i disagree tbh
@@rustafar_2354 what are you actually talking about?
I love the sport of diving. I have never dived before. My nephew dives once a week. He has many certifications in diving. I told him what I need to learn and practice this sport. He told me you don't need anything, I will take you with me next week. And during one dive you will learn everything. He always tells me that he violates the instructions and goes to great depths solo. After watching your channel and many videos here. I'm sure my nephew is going to die in one of his dives because he's kind of impulsive. I think I would have died if I believed him and went without diving courses.
You have more sense than he does. Get trained and ignore the peer pressure. I'm sure you'll love diving.
Dylan's story is very frightening. Flash flooding can happen so unexpectedly and so very quickly. Thank you for sharing this video.
Wait what? Woody started one of the largest fires in Florida history? I need to hear this story holy crap. BTW Dylan is a hell of a good storyteller. Lucky to be alive. And he's right about total darkness, I live in Kentucky so at least once a year I do some cave tour and inevitably they all turn out the lights to give you an idea of what total darkness is. Still the darkest I've ever seen was death valley at night on a new moon. That was quite an experience, especially being outside.
How is death valley darker than a cave? There’s stars outside..
@@AMK544 Its uncanny. Its definitely not darker than a cave, a bit of an exaggeration but there's nothing for your light to reflect off of and it is way way way darker than you expect. As for the stars, all they did was show you vague jagged outlines of the hills or mountains around you. Death valley is a valley and has mountains to the west so its like being surrounded by walls at night because you absolutely cannot judge the distance of hills/ mtns around you. The only light that did give you a sense of distance were brake lights travelling up and out of the valley, like two floating red eyes that got further and further away as time passed. It was high tension just driving through because all you would see was maybe 15 feet in front of your car, where the headlights reflect off of the ground but that was it and to top it off you're completely isolated. I got out to go to the bathroom and I could not see my hand right in front of my face. I'm not surprised a bit that people may not believe it but trust me, if you are ever there at night on a new moon you will see. Or not to be more specific, you will not see and your expectations will be blown away.
@@Nefville are you talking about the headless death valley in canada??
@@elit3alex39 No the one in California. I know the valley you are talking about, I am never going in there hahaha
Dylan is a terrific storyteller! What a story! Thank you! A part of me wishes that we could get pictures of that mine but obviously I don’t want anyone to risk their life in order to get them. Sometimes it’s better to just imagine.
Woody finding out he can blow up a jet ski and the look on Gus's face was epic. The whole time Woody is in heaven and Gus just shaking his head. ROFLAMO. Great Video guys. Enjoyed Dylan being on the show. Cant wait to see. more.
Woody causally: I accidentally started one of the biggest fires in south Florida
*bruh* 💀
Edit: please don’t let woody near any explosives man lmao
Dylan man , what a storyteller, loved every minute of it. Felt like I was literally there with you guys.
Hearing this story, the adult part of my brain is telling me of course it's a terrible idea but the 11 year old part of my brain knows I would also definitely go into that mine
Same; that’s called maturity. Lol
I love how you guys added pictures to the story! It kept it interesting and made it so you can see in your mind the story playing out!
I love how Woody talks about the little steps.
That's exactly how you accomplish anything. If you've ever done anything of worth, you don't start at the top, you start by doing extremely small steps that ultimately lead towards your goal.
I love you Woody!
Funnily enough, when I played subnautica years ago before I knew anything from this channel, it gave a good mild panic when you go into a cave or a wreck and think "oh I'll just remember I went this way" then then suddenly you're completely lost with a quarter tank left when it took you half a tank to get it.
Obviously nothing like the real thing, but a few deaths in game made me *very* cautious about air usage and using the dive reel in game lol
his comment about total darkness is spot on.
im a pretty adept caver, had my headlamp crap out on my about 600 feet underground once.
no biggie, i had spares in my pack, but man id be lying if i said getting a lamp out of my bag in the absolute dark was an easy task.
I am a fellow ex sewer tunnel exploring kid and I loved this video thank you guys :-)
What an incredible story and instant chemistry between Dylan and Woody, you guys have to collaborate again. (Hang jn there, Gus!)
Somebody was watching over these guys that day. Thank goodness they got out. Thank for posting this story, guys.
I love how all three are in the same room and there is three different backgrounds
Your guest Dylan is a brilliant story teller, frightening though.
Outstanding video ! Great story, like, MrBallen level story, told by a great storyteller. Thank you guys, what a great way to start the week !
Absolutely love the story they share on here on personal experiences
Guys, please do an special about the movie Thirteen Lives!! I watched it yesterday and it was amazing. There is so much we didn't get about the rescue that we can now appreciate because of the movie...
Having read many stories about people caught up in flooding in various canyons and caves, it sounds nightmarish. People underestimate the power even relatively small streams of water can have.
Love you guys! I’m not a diver, but my father was. I just turned him on to your channel. First video I made him watch? Chernobyl!!!! He couldn’t stop laughing and shaking his head.
Take care and be safe!
Amazing and hilarious on so many levels. Gus, I am sorry that Dylan betrayed you by enabling Woody and the Jetskis...If you need a new best friend, I am here for you!
What a crazy story, flash floods are the only thing that scares me about dry caving
Another reason why Cave Diving is better and safer :)
@@DIVETALK Unless you bring your rebreather with you while dry caving. Then it's the best of both worlds.😉
@@slartybarfastb3648 the rebreather isn't going to save you from hi flow, siphon, and no visibility... unless you're Ed Sorenson...
@@dekulruno That's true.
@@DIVETALK gus definitely replied to this comment
When I was in the Marines a few of us snuck off and explored some tunnels that the Japanese had built during WWII on Iwo Jima. Really cool, tons of stuff left over from the war but there were stairs that would just keep going down and down and I ended up feeling weird and wanting to go back. I think back on how dumb that was lol
I wonder what was down there...
@@LibbyKay188 who knows! There were old rifles, ammunition crates, canteens and a bunch of stuff left there. The Japanese say they still don't know where all those tunnels go today
@@shelbydunn3031 pretty awesome, glad wasnt any traps of any sort hanging around! Experience is priceless
I want to explore the military tunnels under SF from the war so bad, there's miles of tunnels down there still that are basically unused except for storage near entrances. The bunkers and forts near there are awesome but the one I want to see most got fully sealed off finally unfortunately but people were partying down there back to like the 70s
There’s supposedly 200,000 bunkers that were built across the US during WW2 and a majority of them are abandoned/forgotten.
This story reminded me of things like the Bolton Strid and the Mossdale Beck/Caverns. Bolton Strid isn't really something you go into, but if you fall in there, you probably won't come back up. Mossdale Caverns is mostly known these days for the accident back in the 60s where part of a group of cavers got stuck because huge amounts of water started pouring in from the rain outside. Once the entrance was submerged, there was no getting back out alive. The only people that survived were the four that decided to leave the cave a few hours into the expedition.
Bolton Strid that one in the Uk where the 'banks' are actually massive rock overhangs and if you fall into it the unbelievably strong current drags you into submerged overhang environments?
I might be thinking of something else but if I'm right then I think I'm going to like this vid cause that place is treacherous.
@@drpainglove3389 Yeah, it's what the video reminded me of for some reason. Water + getting stuck underground = terrifying to me.
Awesome story. I looked up large fish at the bottom of a dam and the algorithm gods sent me to this channel. Not a diver at all, but learning about it has been great! Keep up the great content!
Gus: "You're gonna look like lil Nas X." 😭😭😭😭 I don't know how many heads that went over, but I dang near choked on my sweet tea when he said that. Omg that had me in tears. TOTALLY unexpected. IYKYK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥
Glad you caught that one...my sense of humor goes over Woody's head 9 out of 10 times :D
@@DIVETALK Woody could totally rock a Lil Nas X outfit, though. Mostly because he's Woody. :D
@@TrappedinSLC 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the great show guys!
Any confined space is dangerous. Especially when it is dark. Panic is real. Even without water a confined space can fill with gas displacing oxygen. Without water you can still fall or get stuck and wedged in a restriction. Water just makes things exponentially more dangerous especially with high flow and low temperature. Training needs to happen in a controlled environment.
Great story and well told, I could envision the mine well. Love the hat Woody.
When I see dive talk.. I know today is going to be a great day!
Absolutely loved this story time episode! Thanks to Dylan for sharing - I’ve already subbed to his channel.
(Also looking forward to “Georgia Chernobyl”… and jet skis!!! 😆)
JET SKIES !!!
You can never catch a break from Woody trying to take you dry caving can you, Gus?
"Not Actual Photo"
when looking at a pile of rocks with a tiny hole.
Love it! haha
the only time I experienced ''UTTER'' darkness was in a coal mine in Wales.
''Big Pit'' mine, where the Miners were giving guided tours.
We were told to turn off our torches on our helmets, and my goodness....the darkness was immense.
A mine level being sealed off isn't necessarily a sign of danger (aside from being in a mine), it's pretty common to either fill the abandoned level with wasterock from the new level or to control airflow through the working parts of the mine.
Source: I watch a lot of questionably qualified TH-camrs messing about in mines.
It's usually to block off an adit if it is outside. So the mine company can wash their hands of it and walk away. That doesn't fly these days lol most times inside is a collapse, sometimes it's back-filled to the back (ceiling) but that isn't common.
I also have a questionably qualified YT channel exploring mines BTW lol 'Explore! Underground' check it out if you're interested
Lol…good story. Brings back some memories of being 11 living on a huge army post in Germany that had been a Nazi pow camp in WW2. We used to go looking for live ammunition from the war. My friends dad was in demolition and we liked getting written up in the post news paper. Course we got chewed out too but…
Most intense and scary story yet! Loved his story telling style and the photos for reference. Really, quite the miracle they survived.
I wonder if Woody realized he spent a large amount of the video flipping us off 😂 13:04
Wow!! This was such a terrifying story so amazingly told!!
Great Episode! That comment about absolutely darkness, my first commercial dive style experience with CDIS I had a true total blackout while diving. I could not see my flashlight, pointing it in my eyes from a foot away… Gave me a new respect for that silt outs and the challenges associated with a blackout conditions. Woody, hope all is well with you, miss diving with you at the aquarium!
Good job woody on your interview can’t wait to have you back these guys did a great job interviewing you.
Glad you got to tell your story in person and this wasn't a Dive Talk Reacts to Mr Ballen covering a mine exploration tragedy from 30 years ago.
"Wait can I still get in trouble for this, I'm 45..."🤣 I know that feeling all to well! Great video as always!
The best thing about dive talk besides the knowledge which is outstanding, I go to diving comments now, and everyone is spitting knowledge it never use to be like, a lot act if they are divers which is ok don’t bother me, cause they may not get into the super tech stuff but they really go in on safety, training, and knowing your limits and not going past them. So thank you for that. But I love the diving content just folks swimming under water, I love the sounds little light, and you guys are really good guys, from the information I see I don’t know you guys personally but from what I seen you guys are good people so thank you
They're definitely good people
@@kurtleftridge6530 they always put in loads of effort too!
Gus the eye contact was very intimate this week lol😂😂😂
Awesome story! Got to this channel by first watching caving videos so full circle for me too.
Boy do i have a channel on mines. Abandoned and Forgotten Places. Gly explores western mines.
Inspired me to go out and find my great grandpas mine in the Mojave desert
I'm so happy to be watching your vids again I've been away on a week & half camping trip ( never again) keep up the vids guys much love from UK
I like how you guys added some Mr Ballen editing style while he was telling his story!
In mine exploring we have our own sets of rules that bring us back out alive. One is "right hand rule" It's like looking at your arm and hand and fingers. If you stay on right hand rule it will bring you back out. major rule powerful lights lots of extra batteries, another major rule is "don't touch anything" most mounds inside mines are from collapses and can form dams. All mines are generally cut at about 3 degrees up hill. that way water runs out and mine cars can roll easy. The scary parts of mine exploring is false floors, if you fall through one you can die. or fall into a flooded section. Never go into a mine without proper preparation. Should have a helmet on your head too... One small rock could ruin your day or worse. Cool story :)
Woodys got that ol lady on Sunday morning drip 😂❤️
This guy can give a really tough competition to Mrballen in story telling.
I was totally into it and feeling chills.
Woody; "accidentally starting one of the biggest fires in south Florida"!!! What a legend, he never ceases to surprise.
Pink is the best color ever, I fucking love your style woody!
Dylan is a fantastic storyteller wow, you're right Woody! Great great video.
There is something so gratifying when things actually come full circle. Great Episode! Wait Wait WAIT! I just realized that Gopher the GOPHER also came full circle I literally just saw it on the episode OUT of AIR - Story of a Real Dive Emergency hahahahha hehe. okay maybe I'm the only one who finds that funny and also still strangely gratifying :)
When the camera shot went back to Woody and he had that f****** Driving Miss Daisy hat on man I almost lost my s***!
Mr. Ballen-esque with the "not actual photo" lol
Tbh it's weird but I love complete darkness it's calming and peaceful that's why I've always wanted to cave dive in Goin diving for the first time this summer and I'm so excited
Those knives are actually very cool!!!
Loved this video, Dylan is briliant, Gus and Woody are hillarious. Gus is that despairing parent trying to contol Woody the hyperactive kid that just discovered his new best friend has the same crazy imagination that he has🤣.
Dudes I have to admit that I also started a massive fire in south Florida as a teenager. A TOTAL accident in Boynton Beach/Lake Worth that got way out of control, so I can relate to Woody on that one . LYou guys are awesome love y'all from Panama City Beach!
Right on, Thank's for bringing him on. That show was something, no doubt about the drama being added in lol ^-^
Keep this coming!
Why must modern TV be ruined with all the added and painfully fake tension and drama, or the recaps every 30 seconds? So many shows that are interesting in their own right are so hard to watch due to this.
It goes back to 79 a.d. when the first Satanic Church was founded (on siciliy, I believe) in turn creating usury and debt.
I LOVE how Gus will sneak in a "stab your self in the heart" every once and a while ROFLLLL!!!!!!
Usually in mine exploring I use the turn right on the way in that way you know that left is out and safe
I found your site recently, and think you guys are the bomb! I subbed and like all of the videos, you are informative and funny to boot. Best of luck with everything. I live in the Monterey Peninsula near Point Lobos and was wondering if you have ever been diving here? Anyhow, best of luck with all of your endeavors as you deserve it!
Reminds me of how much I hate the woods at night. Refuse to camp with a tent.
OMG, great story, I was riveted. So glad you had Dylan on!
Woody the firestarter 🤣 he's so funny! I love you guys!
Don't think we didn't notice you putting in those describtive pictures MrBallen style ;) well done boys
Bladesmith/diver here! That is a beautiful blade there.
Honestly some of us are just here for Woody and Gus and not necessarily the diving stuff. So this was cool too.
Great video. Dylan is a good story teller. Really enjoyed watching.
This is great :) I could listen to you guys for hours...and I do Lol Woody, love the hat. Big hugs to you both :)
You should react to "Thirteen Lives" the movie based on the rescue of 13 Thai soccer team kids that got stuck in a cave when it became flooded by the monsoon rains. You'll get to experience the effort of the filmmaker in making cave diving somewhat realistic-ish in movies, but are probably gonna cringe at all the flutter kicking 😆
Oh great suggestion 😊
Hey, Woody, Gus may have gotten a gift here and there, but YOU got the jellyfish hat! Priceless--worth 1001 other gifts!
I am glad TH-cam is around for people to circumvent Hollywood and executive producers to make their own shows and content. This show is good, been binging it a few days now
Lmao Gus really said “stab yourself in the heart” love the ongoing joke
Great video, great story, and a great guest! Love it
I loved top shot!! Yes! Bring it back!
Well... My story is really really tame compared to this one.
On the playground of the kindergarten I went to was a tunnel. Not one made out of those huge concrete pipe but one reinforced with wood like a mineshaft. It was high enough for a kindergarten age kid to walk through bent forward a little bit. It wasn't a straight tunnel, it had a little zigzag curve in the middle. It was awesome!
One day they announced that we were no longer allowed to stay in there, but we were only allowed to walk through (if I remember correctly) and eventually it was closed aka they said we were no longer allowed to enter and the entraces were "closed" with caution tape.
So this kindergarten also happened to have a assortment of sandbox toys. Buckets, shovels and tiny little boats as they had a water pump and a table for making mud cakes and kids obviously built little rivers for said boats. They also had two larger toy ships. Really nice plastic toy ships. One went missing and it was apparently known that it ended up inside the closed off tunnel.
I ended up sneaking in, trying to wait for a moment when the lady looking after the kids in this are of the playground wasn't looking. So I basically snuck in like I am evading NPCs sight in a hitman game, I got the boat and I managed to get out unnoticed...
In retrospect it was probably not a smart idea to go in but I also assume that they would have removed that tunnel immediately if it would have been a "it could collapse at any given moment" type of situation.
In the end the tunnel was removed and they turned it into a valley/trench with big logs crossing it and even though we were disappointed that our tunnel was gone we quickly figured out tons of things to do around this valley/trench.
Love your show. PADI Divemaster now old man.
Woody you are too much... Gus the face, always so entertaining. Thank you Dylan. I would have defied gravity if I heard that noise and thought it was a snake and walked out on the ceiling... Love that, "Listen NO" Woody ...
Has Woody's mic stand been sprayed pink, or is it just the reflection of his shirt (which is probably visible from space, so it's likely)? Haha. Really wanna send him a hot pink mic stand and a hot pink ElectroVoice RE20 mic ... that'd be perfect! 👌
Oh man brilliant and the last 10 minutes... I am on the floor :D :D
Am EDC flashlight nerd here too. Even my keychain has a 600 lumen blaster on it.
With several multi-thousand lights and many hours of battery power: I am the Master of the Night.
Gus' lowkey "Stab yourself in the heart" comment made me bust out laughing. 🤣
Great show!!! I feel like after this one you guys should react to Mossdale
Something that could have happened but thank god it didn’t it’s bad air, you never go into a mine where there is stationary water because it can have bad air so when you go and step on it, it releases the poisonous gas and kills you
Hey Woody and Gus! I love your channel! I love your critique on other videos! Man old mines are sketchy🤣 got some old clay mines to explore near me that I want to explore. Anyhow, keep up the great videos.
Already can tell this is gonna be a good one thx guy's
I enjoyed this a lot! Fun video even if not diving related. Great job!
I knew the Jet Ski would come up
Another fine chapeau Woody. And another great experience recounted from a child’s perspective should remind parents everywhere to closely watch “adventurous kids” for they while try anything once.
Top shot is amazing. I remember seeing him. The diversity you guys are having is awesome.
