      He just clipped together real cave divers stories and lied the entire time. You need
      open water certification, then for Advanced Open Water Diver Certification
      You take Enriched Air Diver Course with at least 10 dives using enriched air deeper than 18 metres/60 feet and
      Deep Diver Certification or proof of at least 10 dives to 30 metres/100 feet
      And be At least 18 years old and have a minimum of 30 logged dives or, 10 dives to 30 meters
      Then you need cavern certification then you can go for your cave certification. He’s either a r-tard or a lying pos. I say both. What a loser..

    I had two family members that did work , for the Smithsonian. One was a Geologist , Claude Swicegood. The other was his Niece, Roberta Swicegood and she was an Diver and Explorer. She died while doing sump diving to map the underground River Systems, on the East Coast. While down in the depths, she broke her Leg. Her Dive Partner was forced to leave her, because she had become stuck. By the time Rescuers made it back, she had died, alone in the dark. god rest her Soul, and that of all the Explorers who gave it all, to bring the World to us.

      @@The88Cheat From what I understood, Donald & his buddy were making a jump from the main line to another area of the cave and his buddy was the one running the new line. When they reached the new area and prior to tying off, his buddy got tangled in the newly ran line and caused a silt out. So, Donald backed up out of the silt and grabbed onto the line that ran deeper into the cave (where it was clear) but he had to let go of that line and go back into the silt toward the exit. (His vital mistake here was not tying off in case he got disoriented and had to come back to start again, which sure enough happened).
      Due to the fact that his buddy got tangled, panicked and then ended up exiting by following his own line out by himself, Donald says near the end of the video, “next time i’ll run my own damn line.”
      The Dive Talk guys seemed to instead make the assumption that Cowboy backed out and grabbed the line BEFORE the silt-out.

I know exactly how that feels. I was incredibly lucky and found a way out in a few minutes. But in those few minutes I experienced everything he describes.

      Relieved and happy you are still here on this earth. I had a similar situation where I became extremely calm when I realized I would drown to death… but I survived and panicked the moment I realized I was alive. The moment itself when I let go, though, was calming. Grateful to be alive, there was another level of panic that entered my body when I was back onshore… thinking “wow, that could have been it.” It’s amazing what the mind and body do to protect us. Those experiences really change us - I’d like to think for the better 🫶🏼 In any case, I’m happy you made it too.

    I watched a documentary about a diver who disappeared in an underwater cave. Months later, the camera crew followed some divers into the same cave, and at one point, the lead diver bumped into something. He pointed his light upward, and it was a swim fin, still on the foot of the lost diver who's body had floated up to the ceiling. You could hear him scream even though it was underwater. That gave me chills, and changed the chances of me ever doing cave diving from "no" to "hell no."

Not when youre cave diving, some caves can have a 20 meter long corridor that you cant turn around in on a dot. If you get lost in a cave, you need to know where the exit is, otherwise its game over. Sometimes a cave can collapse. In a cave you cant just go up to get out of the water.

      ​@Saber You should do your research about cave diving. Cave diving is absolutely dangerous, way more risky than diving with Sharks. You are in pitch black darkness and one wrong mistake will cost you your life. Many caves go very wide at the beginning and as you go deeper it becomes narrower, and in times when you come back up you are in a space that is too tight to get back up and you just drown. Some Underwater Cave also turns at an angle and if you have no sense of direction you might get lost under there. Remember, there is NO LIGHT down there. You are in pitch black darkness, and if your lights go out or you don't have a Line that Donald is talking about here to guide you back to the surface, you're done.
      That's why in Cave Diving it's very important to have extra training and follow every single rule in cave diving because so many people have died doing this. In short, Cave Diving is EXTREMELY Dangerous.

If a situation like this arises with a dive bud, you should both be in agreement that you two don't match in a cave diving situation and shouldn't submerge together ever again. Find someone else who you match with, someone you can trust and whom trusts you. Need to understand eachother in order to make a good match for this activity.

    I use to go caving a lot in my 20's I got lost in a cave I had been in 20 times or more and I panicked and this was in a dry cave. My biggest fear is still being trapped underground. Another time I was in a very tight cave with a dozen or more tight squeezes, like crawling through 18" holes. So tight you need to take your helmet off and push it. While deep in this cave I heard a rumble, a sound you NEVER want to hear. All I imagined was one of those squeezes being blocked by a rock. Earlier that trip I acidently stood up and crushed a bat with my helmet. It slid off onto the floor and I felt really bad, like bad karma. then the noise ocurred! I left my group and made a beeline towards the entrance. I got out. No blocked passage but I was terrified. Never went into that cave again.

    As a parttime cave diver I'd love to hear his buddy's side of the story, of course cerrone is the brave hero especially in his own story but from the sound of it, Cerrone was the danger down there ignoring several rules there's even training for this exact scenario which he undoubtedly was trained for but chose to ignore, conversely the BS "number one rule is to only worry about yourself" rules aside, it sounds like his dive buddy followed the rules he was trained for and exited safely..............

      I literally went through the comments looking for a comment like this, but it was just a sea of "what a hero" or "what a great story teller".. I have to be honest, I was rolling my eyes at times. And, frankly, I have never known another diver to have the "every man for himself" mantra that he claims is the #1 rule. In fact, I've known a lot of divers who have put themselves in danger to rescue strangers, let alone their friends

      @RizztrainingOrder 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@jmal529 ya same here, I’m naturally critical of claims but as I wasn’t there I can’t pass judgement, but if one actually listens to his story it’s rather clear that Cerrone is either engaging in hyperbole, exaggerating, or views the incident through an emotional lens clouding his perception of the reality of the events that transpired. Or perhapsa pleasant mixture of all the above, Either way I’m glad he’s ok but that still doesn’t excuse the fact of throwing your dive buddy under the bus in front of millions likely due to your own momentary lapse of sound judgement..

    So I was a diver for many years and remember one time diving off the backside of Catalina which is not always the best place to dive being choppy and having a lot of currents in some spots, but I was a new diver and happened to get caught up in seaweed or kelp forest with a strong current and I panicked, I tried to use my dive knife to cut the kelp and dropped it, causing even more fucking panic and at one point knocked the regulator out of my mouth. I saw my life flash before my eyes as I was seconds from choking to death on water and by some freaking miracle my dive instructor found me right as I was passing out and choking on my last breath trying not to breath in water, he saved my life and I didn’t want to dive for a while after that. He wasn’t even looking for me but some how saw my lamp going crazy from my panic. Crazy experience, gotta respect these cave divers as it’s just so beyond dangerous
