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..
@@8KilgoreTrout4 head first in to a new passage way because at that point in the cave it was the only way (him hoping withhis experience it’s only maybe 10 feet) only to get stuck upside down because it got to tight the section ended up getting sealed basically a personal tomb. John Jones was his name ,Nutty putty cave.
@@billgreenly5522 why are you talking like the dudes a bitch for not going cave diving lmao. Its such a niche thing and super dangerous. And as far as i know most of it doesn’t result in anything other that adrenaline rush. So you could literally die for nothing.
@@billgreenly5522 there are plenty of fun things you can do that don’t require you to risk your life. You don’t have to be a shut in either. Not everybodys an adrenaline junky man.
Yikes. That dude can tell a story. Almost as intense as the movie “diving into the unknown” I enjoy scuba diving and freediving but this type of extreme cave diving is not for me..
Cave diving is so dang next level. Be safe people, always plan your dives dive with partners and have someone to know if you do not check back in again.
@@TroyD96 that 20 breaths were his gas gauge being a MM above the stop. He filled up his Boyance Compensation Device to its max because it is filled off your regulator. He wanted to put those 20 breaths in the bank while he had air. The fact that he did not have to resort to them does not detract from the intensity. Just think if he had not brought that third tank for safety.
likewise, I'm a recreational instructor but I have no desire to pursue cave diving, I've done cavern dives which is the beginning part of cave diving but not actual cave diving
I remember watching this interview awhile back and then about six months ago watching Dive Talks take on his story. Then I went back and watched this story again and man what a change of perspective.
@@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.
@Buckin Tweet - it's not stupid or dangerous if you are properlly trained. With quality training you learn how to deal with that. I have been in total silt outs plenty of times. You have to stay calm and use techniques you learned in your training to deal with it.
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.
What an incredible story. You could see it in his eyes and the tone he used to describe the event that it was life or dearth. Had to be such a surreal moment.
Well done Joe. One of the hardest things to do as a host it to sit in silence. You recognized the greatness unfolding and let it happen👏. Amazing story cowboy you're a true warrior.
I've never experienced that much anxiety while listening to a damn story lol.. Thank you for letting him tell this without any interruption Joe, that was a good one..
I'm a 40-year diver and instructor. I've dived shipwrecks, heavy currents, shark-infested waters, etc, and had just about every bad diving scenario happen, but I've never had the balls to dive in caves. His story confirms to me that I never will.

Tiger sharks will almost never even bite a person I've had hundreds of tiger sharks all around me on a dive in the keys. They look at you and just swim by. Now great white sharks I've never seen or would want to be around
@Saber I mean do you have a brain? Dude, sharks arent that aggressive, and they 99% wont bite you. Also, you look up and you see the sunlight, or the sky, or the clouds, or where the exit is. 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.
@@InfectedByZanza starting with “do you have a brain” makes the rest of your sentence seem condescending, too. Most people with a brain would have an iota of social knowledge and wouldn’t start their sentence with that.
@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.
As a parttimer, his story never made sense to me and am glad fellow divers covered this. I'm amazed at one's ability to BE the problem and simultaneously make himself sound like the brave hero......
@@RizztrainingOrder yes lol that was my thing. Like you're the hero of the problem you caused? I've dove open water a lot and done some real basic 'caving' if you wanna even call it that and I caught all the mistakes
Joe Rogan needs to start doing podcast with stuff he actually knows about. This video just shows how stupid Joe is, and the people that follow him and even more dumb.
I dont know those guys are tough as nails. Both knew the danger and both know that those things happen. I bet they are not angry with each other. Ever read the book or saw the movie "touching the void"? Two guys in the mountain and one cuts the rope to the other hanging free so he falls. He did it to prevent his own death. The other guy fell into a glacier and somehow survived. They never climbed together again but the guy that fell had no bad feelings for the other who cut the rope. He knows how things work if your life is on the line.
@@rahlap2449 I agree with you that he probably doesn't feel angry, but that is why I didn't mention anger in my comment. I was focusing more on guilt, embarrassment and things like that. The toughest people can still feel guilty because they failed a responsibility. To hear Donald talk about a moment where you dropped the ball might bring up some shame, guilt, etc.
@@Mr-E. Yeah thats true. Whatever Im just happy that Im not in a position like those poor bastards who paniced and did some panic-move that brings others in danger. Whenever I read or hear about that kind of stories, I think of the poor dude that cut the rope in "touching the void". Dude knows he did the right thing but to this day I bet he has nightmares doing it.
@Metallicalabrano4 and he's a successful fighter who could whoop your ass and he's making more than you could think of So enjoy your favorite snacks and watching your favorite movies and commenting shit like this and hanging in your mommy's basement 😉
Terrifying. One of the stupidest things I've ever done (and I did some incredibly stupid stuff when I was young) was getting myself lost under the ice by myself in very bad visibility. 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. The panic followed by forcing myself to calm down, picturing my final moments imagining my friend on the surface telling my family what happened. It was a very long few minutes!
Yeah man I almost drowned on a river rafting trip. Got sucked into an undertow and luckily wrapped in a ball to protect my head from hitting on rocks. I counted to a little over 30 seconds and then had that moment where you realize that you're going to die in just a few moments time. I let go and accepted that was my fate and had an extreme calm come over me but good heavens I am glad that I resurfaced right as that last inhale took place. I got really lucky that day.
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.
@@sphincter3132 Oh, I had no idea the story was made up. Thanks for the info! I love Gus and Woody's Dive Talk videos. I'll have to got check out their video debunking this story.
Man this story brings back some insane feelings. I almost drowned on a river rafting trip. That feeling of pure helplessness is so absolutely terrifying. Hearing his story brought it all back. I was literally sweating lol.

Ive had a close call before and let me tell y’all it gets very dark when you think you are not going to make it. The way he explained his frustration and will to live is very similar in my own experience and from others that I’ve heard. It’s that human instinct that we’ve kept dormant inside of us because we are to comfortable with life and we really shouldn’t be. Those instincts have kept us alive for thousands of years.
Me and my dad used to play cave explorer when I stayed him sick from school.. now that I'm thi ming about it, it was really that fun and kinda hurt actually..
That last bit, the comment; "So, we're not diving together again are we?" Is spot on. 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.
All jokes aside. I really hope Cowboy stays safe when hes out there having fun, hes a talented martial artist who lives a fun life on the side. it would be a damn shame if something were to happen to him.
MrTruboy I get what you're saying.. and for the most part yes white people do crazy shit.. but Bill Burr has a podcast explaining it... we're just bored.. lol. Also cave diving is actually pretty important... it's not just done for fun there's alot of divers strictly for scientific research. But for the people who do it for fun I'll never get why they do it for the fuck of it.. youll never catch my ass in a cave.
@MrTruboy scuba diving is popular amongst other races too and ethnicities like Latinos, middle Easterners, and Asians. Not just whites or Europeans rather

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.
Im a diver too, and let me tell you, its a very weird feeling knowing how much air you have left to breathe. I can totally feel what Cowboy went through. When I start a dive I have 3000psi of air. Once that's all gone......thats it. You better know your shit when diving!!!!
Guy I used to work with was diving for lobsters. Said he reached his hand into a hole in the rocks to grab a lobster and got it stuck. He said, he must have sucked an hour's worth of air out in 10 seconds. Turns out he had grabbed the lobster which forced him to make a fist. All he needed to do was let go of the lobster and slide his hand out. Last thing on his mind when in panic mode was "Let go, asshole." Lesson learned. LOL!
At the end when Cowboy stood up and reenacted the victorious moment when he made it out of the cave and screamed.. every hair on my body stood up. Felt like I was being charged with very intense energy. Incredibly moving story.
Damn… laying next to my 1 year old made me realize how precious life is how important we are to them.. I’m glad you never gave up. Lesson for all of us men if things get this bad keep pushing for the loved ones
This was an AWESOME story! I figured he would say that it opened his eyes and he is rethinking some of his choices in life since it not only affects him, it directly affects his daughter and wife/girl. Rogan was BAKED!!
Still and always will be one of my favorite fighters and this story gives me a completely different respect for Cowboy... Glad he was here to tell the story...
Cave diving is something I find extremely interesting but I dont think I could ever do it. Im claustrophobic and terrified of drowning. The panic mode he described sent shivers down my spine. The absolute helplessness you must feel at a moment like that has to take years off your life lol
It combines a multitude of our general fears into one activity.. fear of the depths and drowning, fear of the dark, claustrophobia etc. Thus the ease with which one panics when something goes wrong. Which is precisely why its not for everyone. Panic means both irrationality, lack of clear-headedness AND elevated air consumption.. which WILL kill you.
DONALD STUPIDLY LET GO of the mainline. Twice. Meanwhile his friend calmed down & followed the mainline & went direct to the exit. As you’re supposed to do .
Imagine hearing this story from some guy in the bus and you are all up focusing on the story and ends with the shark line and you realise you've wasted all your time on a fake story from a crazy guy
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."
I've dived my whole life and had one panic attack at 40m inside a wreck in Gozo. It was the scariest thing in my life but nothing - like nothing - compares to Cowboy's story. If you've ever cave dived this is absolutely the worst, most terrifying position to be in. I've watched this video 3 times now and each time I feel sheer panic and fear.
It's a ridiculous story. Anyone with even a handful of dives in their logbook should be able to see this. It's almost as bad as his other "flooded drysuit and exploding first stage whilst treasure hunting" diving story.
@@bergeracvandamme Ridiculous? How so? Anyone with "a handful of dives in their log book" is a recreational diver who has clear water above them not a technical cave diver.
@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 scuba diving is not cave diving.. you can scuba dive and be perfectly save if you stay at or above a certain depth and AWAY from cave systems - stick to the open water. Cave diving is a whole other beast.
Amazing story teller, I’m so glad he survived....Him telling that story had me on the edge of of my seat Far more than I could’ve ever expected...He brought me right into that cave with him
I'd like to hear this story from the other guy's perspective. He had an issue. Never lost the line and pulled his way to safety. You NEVER lose the line. Cowboy violated a few very basic cave diving rules.
The other guy got tangled up in the jump line remember? And took it with him when he left remember? How do you find the main line when the jump line is missing?
I always have to come back and listen to this when it’s in my recommended, because it is a combination of one of the best stories I’ve ever heard paired with next level story telling man! Hats of to these two for all their work and life experience.
I’m down with all kinds of sports and hobbies that will probably end up killing me.. but cave diving, as fascinating as it may be... is something that I just don’t need to do lol
brian lane cerrone not a fighter .....mate are you stupid guys record is 33-11 and hes a pretty small 170 next to guys like till,woodley,usman are all very close to 200lbs come fight night where cowboy is less than 180 most likly and not to mention his last few losses are vs killers masvidal lawler till edwards one guy is a former champ one is fighting for the title now masvidal is legit alot of his losses coming from split decisions leon edwards was a close fight if i remember rightly like the lawler fight cerrone has faught all the top guys at 155 and alot of them at 170 and beat alot of them
I had a good friend that was a dive master in Jamaica - Peter Thompson. He did some virgin cave diving. The stories he would tell me were nuts. Where he would be going down some routes only wide enough to push through, and getting lucky to find a funnel to go up and turnaround to be able to return. Loved his attitude, but worried that he would one day not return.
DONALD STUPIDLY LET GO of the mainline. Twice. Meanwhile his friend calmed down & followed the mainline & went direct to the exit. As you’re supposed to do .
What gets me about this story is he risked his life and was close to death trying to go after his friend. All the while his friend was out just sitting there doing nothing. Not much of a friend if you ask me, never go into any dangerous situation with someone like that. But I am so glad to hear he made it. What a terrifying situation to be in.
He said himself, you only save yourself. His friend made the technically smart and correct move. All cave divers are made well-aware of the risk it poses.
It's the rule of all rescues. If you are putting yourself in immediate danger, you do not save them. It's a hard decision, but unfortunately, one body is better than two. (IE: saving someone that is drowning and also panicking, jumping in a river to save someone, cave diving)
@@DBPRODUCTIONS10 if you want a "source" refer to airplane oxygen mask safety instructions (only commonly evidenced example I know of) otherwise, it isjust known to be a logically based best practice for any type of rescue situation
For some reason I sent this to my 72 yo mom thinking it was an fun, intense story she might enjoy.. Her response “ well that was great, and so scary, but all these F words Adam, it was all F this F that the whole time” Hahaha she cracks me up still.
Yes, he absolutely did. First mistake was leaving the line to "rescue" the other guy. What he should have done was wait on the line for the other guy to settle down and get himself squared away. As it turns out, the other guy did just that and exited the cave as he should have, while cowboy nearly killed himself. Second big mistake was panicking, multiple times. Every cave diver should be able to use their conscious mind to think their way out of panic. Cowboy seems to run on pure emotion rather than reason and logic. The right thing to do was stay on the line, wait a reasonable amount of time for your buddy to calm down and during that wait tie off your safety reel to the line so when you do swoop in to help your buddy calmly get untangled you can both get back to the line and exit reasonably normally.
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
@@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..
@@jmal529 Why would you roll your eyes? I know diving isn't his chosen profession so why can't he make stupid mistakes, blame the wrong people, for his own mistakes. Regardless any of that it's highly likely he feared for his life.
@mangravy2000 I rolled my eyes because he decided to come on one of the biggest shows in the world and throw his "friend" (I imagine former at this point) under the bus and make him seem like a fool, while trying to make himself look like a hero. Sorry but that's just not cool

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

Yikes. That dude can tell a story. Almost as intense as the movie “diving into the unknown” I enjoy scuba diving and freediving but this type of extreme cave diving is not for me..
Cave diving is so dang next level. Be safe people, always plan your dives dive with partners and have someone to know if you do not check back in again.
@@TroyD96 that 20 breaths were his gas gauge being a MM above the stop. He filled up his Boyance Compensation Device to its max because it is filled off your regulator.
He wanted to put those 20 breaths in the bank while he had air. The fact that he did not have to resort to them does not detract from the intensity. Just think if he had not brought that third tank for safety.
likewise, I'm a recreational instructor but I have no desire to pursue cave diving, I've done cavern dives which is the beginning part of cave diving but not actual cave diving
For real
ExpatMoe agreed
I remember watching this interview awhile back and then about six months ago watching Dive Talks take on his story. Then I went back and watched this story again and man what a change of perspective.
Dive talks bro
Upon rewatching I believe Dive Talk misunderstood the story.
@@alugificator Why is that?
@@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.
Didn't know cowboy is such an awesome story teller
People who do crazy shit have awesome storys
it's the mushrooms experience that gave him this ability. not that he was not good at storytelling before
He's certainly an awesome bullshit artist

@Buckin Tweet - it's not stupid or dangerous if you are properlly trained. With quality training you learn how to deal with that. I have been in total silt outs plenty of times. You have to stay calm and use techniques you learned in your training to deal with it.
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.

Rachel Nichols from ESPN needs to come take notes
I'm a 40-year diver and instructor. I've dived shipwrecks, heavy currents, shark-infested waters, etc, and had just about every bad diving scenario happen, but I've never had the balls to dive in caves. His story confirms to me that I never will.
Tiger sharks will almost never even bite a person I've had hundreds of tiger sharks all around me on a dive in the keys. They look at you and just swim by. Now great white sharks I've never seen or would want to be around
@Saber I mean do you have a brain? Dude, sharks arent that aggressive, and they 99% wont bite you. Also, you look up and you see the sunlight, or the sky, or the clouds, or where the exit is. 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.
@Captain BP&J Well yes he said it was an unspoken rule :3. You can't really hear those.
@@InfectedByZanza starting with “do you have a brain” makes the rest of your sentence seem condescending, too. Most people with a brain would have an iota of social knowledge and wouldn’t start their sentence with that.
@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.

I am trying to imagine the other guy watching this and feeling intense guilt, embarrassment, etc.
I dont know those guys are tough as nails. Both knew the danger and both know that those things happen. I bet they are not angry with each other.
Ever read the book or saw the movie "touching the void"? Two guys in the mountain and one cuts the rope to the other hanging free so he falls. He did it to prevent his own death. The other guy fell into a glacier and somehow survived. They never climbed together again but the guy that fell had no bad feelings for the other who cut the rope. He knows how things work if your life is on the line.
@@rahlap2449 I agree with you that he probably doesn't feel angry, but that is why I didn't mention anger in my comment. I was focusing more on guilt, embarrassment and things like that. The toughest people can still feel guilty because they failed a responsibility. To hear Donald talk about a moment where you dropped the ball might bring up some shame, guilt, etc.

Holy shit. that's one of the most intense stories I've ever heard.
Terrifying. One of the stupidest things I've ever done (and I did some incredibly stupid stuff when I was young) was getting myself lost under the ice by myself in very bad visibility. 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. The panic followed by forcing myself to calm down, picturing my final moments imagining my friend on the surface telling my family what happened. It was a very long few minutes!
Yeah man I almost drowned on a river rafting trip. Got sucked into an undertow and luckily wrapped in a ball to protect my head from hitting on rocks. I counted to a little over 30 seconds and then had that moment where you realize that you're going to die in just a few moments time. I let go and accepted that was my fate and had an extreme calm come over me but good heavens I am glad that I resurfaced right as that last inhale took place. I got really lucky that day.
Man I’m glad to hear you’re okay! I hope you are doing great to this day brother!
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.

You should ask a cave diver if his story even sounds true
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.
Im a diver too, and let me tell you, its a very weird feeling knowing how much air you have left to breathe. I can totally feel what Cowboy went through. When I start a dive I have 3000psi of air. Once that's all gone......thats it. You better know your shit when diving!!!!
Once you collapse your lung you can never dive again
thats it you dont dive with a buddy, what about cylinders at 20 feet, your a shit diver please stay away from me when diving bc you suck
Guy I used to work with was diving for lobsters. Said he reached his hand into a hole in the rocks to grab a lobster and got it stuck. He said, he must have sucked an hour's worth of air out in 10 seconds. Turns out he had grabbed the lobster which forced him to make a fist. All he needed to do was let go of the lobster and slide his hand out. Last thing on his mind when in panic mode was "Let go, asshole." Lesson learned. LOL!

Cave diving is something I find extremely interesting but I dont think I could ever do it. Im claustrophobic and terrified of drowning. The panic mode he described sent shivers down my spine. The absolute helplessness you must feel at a moment like that has to take years off your life lol
Going underwater is just too much risk. We don't shit about the world beneath. Its the most dangerous place in the Universe. Literally Universe.
It combines a multitude of our general fears into one activity.. fear of the depths and drowning, fear of the dark, claustrophobia etc.
Thus the ease with which one panics when something goes wrong.
Which is precisely why its not for everyone.
Panic means both irrationality, lack of clear-headedness AND elevated air consumption.. which WILL kill you.
Should check out divetalk channel
I'm a cave diver, I'm no fan of drowning either. I think all cave divers are all pretty scared of drowning

The other guy got tangled up in the jump line remember? And took it with him when he left remember? How do you find the main line when the jump line is missing?
Iv never been diving but there always seems to be a blame game when it goes wrong
@@colemarie9262 ok I will, good lookin out
@@cluhman74 cowboy never said the dude took the line, maybe that’s what happened but he didn’t explain it like that.
@flyingchimp12 He literally said the dude took the line wtf you smoking
I have PTSD after hearing this
I LITTERALLY FELT OUT OF BREATH BECAUSE I WAS suBcOnScIoUsLy BREATHING slowLY TRYING NOT TO WASTE OXYGEN FROM COWBOY'S TANK.... What a story.
Then you find out he had about a hour of air left lol
scuba cylinders (unless used for decompression) have some blend of air.... 100% Oxygen will kill you in 20 ft of water
Southpaw Savanh Then you weren’t breathing the right way lol, you can’t breathe too slowly when diving as it will affect your buoyancy
Tim Waldo Yup, the best air is nitrox, with a higher concentration of nitrogen than normal air, but you need extra training for it
I think you have that backwards.... but then it could be sarcasm....
I always have to come back and listen to this when it’s in my recommended, because it is a combination of one of the best stories I’ve ever heard paired with next level story telling man! Hats of to these two for all their work and life experience.
Now watch some actual pros tear his story to pieces: th-cam.com/video/4yO0iV4YcvI/w-d-xo.html
Sorry to ruin it for you but it's been extensively called out as being a bullshit story by expert cave divers, multiple times in fact.
I’m down with all kinds of sports and hobbies that will probably end up killing me.. but cave diving, as fascinating as it may be... is something that I just don’t need to do lol
For those that skip the MMA episodes... don't miss this one!
graphicism because he’s not really a fighter. Hard to classify yourself as a fighter if you never win and never put up a fight
Yeah he's only won 33 of his 45-professional MMA fights... though I am sure that's nothing compared to your FIFA record.
brian lane cerrone not a fighter .....mate are you stupid guys record is 33-11 and hes a pretty small 170 next to guys like till,woodley,usman are all very close to 200lbs come fight night where cowboy is less than 180 most likly
and not to mention his last few losses are vs killers
masvidal
lawler
till
edwards
one guy is a former champ
one is fighting for the title now
masvidal is legit alot of his losses coming from split decisions
leon edwards was a close fight if i remember rightly like the lawler fight
cerrone has faught all the top guys at 155 and alot of them at 170 and beat alot of them
I had a good friend that was a dive master in Jamaica - Peter Thompson. He did some virgin cave diving. The stories he would tell me were nuts. Where he would be going down some routes only wide enough to push through, and getting lucky to find a funnel to go up and turnaround to be able to return. Loved his attitude, but worried that he would one day not return.
DONALD STUPIDLY LET GO of the mainline. Twice. Meanwhile his friend calmed down & followed the mainline & went direct to the exit. As you’re supposed to do
.
@@electrictroy2010 sounds dumb to me they don't use marine grade caribeners but I'm not a diver so maybe I'm the dumb one 🤷♂️
@@electrictroy2010 don’t matter. The friend’s entire frantic and panicked behavior, regardless of rope or not, almost costed a life that day
@@electrictroy2010yup here again your the second guy huh I know it
What gets me about this story is he risked his life and was close to death trying to go after his friend. All the while his friend was out just sitting there doing nothing. Not much of a friend if you ask me, never go into any dangerous situation with someone like that. But I am so glad to hear he made it. What a terrifying situation to be in.
He said himself, you only save yourself. His friend made the technically smart and correct move. All cave divers are made well-aware of the risk it poses.
It's the rule of all rescues. If you are putting yourself in immediate danger, you do not save them. It's a hard decision, but unfortunately, one body is better than two. (IE: saving someone that is drowning and also panicking, jumping in a river to save someone, cave diving)
@twow3f855 source? Genuinely curious if true
@@DBPRODUCTIONS10 you wont find a source but it is a widely taught practice for rescue workers, its not an official rule or law just a good practice.
@@DBPRODUCTIONS10 if you want a "source" refer to airplane oxygen mask safety instructions (only commonly evidenced example I know of) otherwise, it isjust known to be a logically based best practice for any type of rescue situation
His son is gonna have legendary story time
For some reason I sent this to my 72 yo mom thinking it was an fun, intense story she might enjoy..
Her response “ well that was great, and so scary, but all these F words Adam, it was all F this F that the whole time”
Hahaha she cracks me up still.
Fuck
Hey dude I enjoyed that little story, thanks and I hope your Mum is doing well :)
Hey Joby thanks bro I really appreciate that, she’s doin great.
So your name is Adam and not A G Blues 🤓
AJ correct
Just saw a reaction video to this by cave divers, and it seems like Cowboy panicked and broke fundamental cave diving rules.
Yes, he absolutely did. First mistake was leaving the line to "rescue" the other guy. What he should have done was wait on the line for the other guy to settle down and get himself squared away. As it turns out, the other guy did just that and exited the cave as he should have, while cowboy nearly killed himself. Second big mistake was panicking, multiple times. Every cave diver should be able to use their conscious mind to think their way out of panic. Cowboy seems to run on pure emotion rather than reason and logic.
The right thing to do was stay on the line, wait a reasonable amount of time for your buddy to calm down and during that wait tie off your safety reel to the line so when you do swoop in to help your buddy calmly get untangled you can both get back to the line and exit reasonably normally.
Cowboy himself literally just told all of us watching he panicked...
@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 He also broke some of the most important rules even before he began to panic.
Yep that’s what he said while telling the story many times….what a great observation by you. Smh dummy
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
@@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..
@@jmal529 Why would you roll your eyes? I know diving isn't his chosen profession so why can't he make stupid mistakes, blame the wrong people, for his own mistakes. Regardless any of that it's highly likely he feared for his life.
@mangravy2000 I rolled my eyes because he decided to come on one of the biggest shows in the world and throw his "friend" (I imagine former at this point) under the bus and make him seem like a fool, while trying to make himself look like a hero. Sorry but that's just not cool
