After watching Gus and Woody do this - was wondering when we would see Birdman give it a go. Awesome visuals as always team! Your professionalism and skill in the water is inspiring. Love it!!!!
This has to be the best video ive ever seen from y'all. My jaw is on the floor. How did y'all manage to get so many amazing shots while CAVE DIVING?! This is insanely good
I was there in December filming the mine! It's so cool to see BlueWorld somewhere that I'm familiar with. I've always wanted to see you dive Bonne Terre...great episode!
Thank you guys, that was stunning as usual. What a joy to watch some of the best photography I've ever seen for free. There's nothing on TV that compares to your talent Jonathan.
Just mind blowing!! Beautiful Blue World!! You guys continue raising the bar …. Now with no other than the legend Mike (I’m watching this while resting from my day 3 of my Sidewinder training 😊)
How incredible and surreal! It always spooks me seeing divers in such massive spaces. The bottles and tools in particular were haunting, thank you so much for sharing! All your videos have so much work into them, easily one of the best channels on youtube! Thank you guys.
Remember this when gus and woody did it but good to see again with your awesome filming skills and nice to see the sidewinder is being out in good use and also nice to see Mike in this one also. keep bringing those excellent videos out guys
Ever since I first visited the Bonne Terre mine a few years ago it's always been my dream to go back and dive it. In fact that was large part of the reason I got my scuba certification. This is, by far, the best footage I've seen of it! Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, I am just amazed that you always find great things to explore! Thats from someone who has subscribed to your channel for YEARS! You inspired me to be a Diver!
I just did this earlier in the year! By far one of my most favorite dives. My personal favorite part of the mines is the redwood forest. I hope you all were able to see that part!
What an amazing job you guys did. I love how you tell the story of the mine along with the story of your adventure inside. The video does such a great job of capturing the beauty of this place.
Mike is a good friend of ours and it was nice to get a chance to dive with him again. Last time we dove together was at Devil's Hole when I was making Ancient Caves.
As a little kid I would love to watch your vids on my dads phone and every now and then I just check out your Channel to check how your doing thanks for all the good memories as a kid
been watching you videos on and off since i was about 9, spent 2 years mowing lawns to save up for my own certification, and a couple more years after that slowly purchasing my own gear and tanks. now i’m 17 and cleaning boat bottoms and replacing zincs and props for a living, and looking into opening my own dive tour business out of rhode island in the next year or two
That place looks so foreign its hard to imagine anyone ever existing in there. I kind of feel bad for the fish if its the only one. Someone should take it to a lake. Awesome video, incredible diving and filming is just amazing. Especially the oxide smoke.
Awesome. I am a relatively new sub and watched the one video where you all explained the vids come out once a month. Then i noticed there were coming out 2x a month and I'm like well totally rad... Because I need blue world more than just 1x a month!
Thanks for the interesting video, I enjoyed it. Reminds me of how great a place is the nearby Montola Limestone Mine, where I have dived for the first time in 2006 and worked, among other thing , as an event organizer,kilometers of corridors, the depth of the main shaft is more than 200 meters
Never knew you'd find a dive site in missouri, practically the middle of nowhere ! Such a hidden gem ! Who knows what other sites you could find just round your street ?
Hi Measly FurBall. Bruce Zimmerman (Zimmy) here-the composer for Blue World. So glad you appreciate the music I do for these episodes. This one was especially fun as it had so many spooky scenes.
@@BruceZimmermanMusic Oh my gosh, hello! Your music for this episode genuinely gave me goosebumps. It was the perfect mix of terror and wonder. Hope you continue to create such wonderful music and hope you have a good day :)
You guys should talk to the owners of the crystal gold mine in Kellogg Idaho. They have lots of stories and speculation about why the mine was closed. The short story is it was found by a man digging into what he thought was a natural spring, eventually he uncovered the entrance to a late 1800s mine. After the water subsided some he went into take a look and he found all sorts of old equipment including air pumps and several hand tools. They speculate that the mine flooded while it was in operation trapping some miners. There is a lower section that’s never been investigated further. I’m sure if y’all talked to them they would let you make a short film
Dove it last Sunday… words are enough to describe, I’m a new diver and it was scary m but you forget to stay scared because of insane experience of everything around. Guide Steve was out of the league, how does he memorize all the trails is incomprehensible. 109% coming back to dive deeper into it
I've done the boat tour there. It's truly amazing how massive it is. They just left the equipment there after mining ceased in 1968, i believe. Just shut off the water pumps. The water is very clear & still.
it would be a shame to watch this on my monitor I leave a like and will watch it later on a large oled tv the quality is too amazing, who would have tought someone would make such amazing underwater recordings 30 years ago ? thank you for sharing places I will never visit irl
thanks for finding such places. we need to extract such materials immediately. who can we work with only? we could redo the area for cave divers who want to beautify the area with more appropriate meterial systems, even for future tourist styled appearance❤ I love you Jonathan bird, such a good example in our lives. I feel blessed because of you and your kind of special dedication❤
Seriously cool dive. The clouds of suspended material in the water was the type of image only nature could create. Has there been any study done on lead content in the water and repeated immersion in that environment? Thinking more about the diving guides than a one off dive with minimal skin area exposure.
In theory, the lead in the mine is mostly contained as ore in the rock, and it doesn't readily dissolve into water. It's the refined lead (and the refining process) that can more easily contaminate water.
I work in the mine as a guide. Lead is not soluble in water so what little lead in it just sinks to the bottom. Also within that most of the lead us in the form of Galena which is a sulfide of lead which essentially makes it biologically inert. This makes the water safe to drink for the most part.
@scubasteveandunderwaterroc3547 thank you for the feedback. That is really interesting and glad it is safe for you all. What a great place to show divers around.
After watching Gus and Woody do this - was wondering when we would see Birdman give it a go. Awesome visuals as always team! Your professionalism and skill in the water is inspiring. Love it!!!!
Their video inspired us!
Gus and woody did it? I need to find that video
This has to be the best video ive ever seen from y'all. My jaw is on the floor. How did y'all manage to get so many amazing shots while CAVE DIVING?! This is insanely good
That's what we do man!! :-). Thanks!
The water is insanely clear, even for a cave
man this is the best episode of your recent cave diving vids, the mine was epic. Would love to see more in the future!
this is the man who made my childhood worth living.
Aw!
Its always a good time when mr bird goes diving again.
Especially for me!!! :)
I was there in December filming the mine! It's so cool to see BlueWorld somewhere that I'm familiar with. I've always wanted to see you dive Bonne Terre...great episode!
Did you release the episode? I haven't seen it yet.
@@BlueWorldTV yep! Here’s one of them: th-cam.com/video/mZqtBMU5vU8/w-d-xo.html
That is so awesome especially the rust smoke
It’s incredible how well water can preserve things.
that was surreal.... great job per usual guys!
One of the most breathtaking incredible dives you have ever done jonothan thank you for taking us to this adventure with you i really mean it !
Thanks!
What an amazing episode. Blue World never fails me.
I'm so glad you liked it!
Thank you guys, that was stunning as usual. What a joy to watch some of the best photography I've ever seen for free. There's nothing on TV that compares to your talent Jonathan.
Aw shucks, thanks Sal!
Wow what an amazing diving adventure! 😮
Great video Blue World! Thank you so much!
I’m a kid and I’m watching your videos and now you inspired me to be a diver ❤
You guys never fail to make me smile in awe!
The still cloud effect is SOOOO cool.
What a crazy dive spot
Just mind blowing!! Beautiful Blue World!! You guys continue raising the bar …. Now with no other than the legend Mike (I’m watching this while resting from my day 3 of my Sidewinder training 😊)
Mike is quiet...and powerful. Like a Jedi master.
How incredible and surreal! It always spooks me seeing divers in such massive spaces. The bottles and tools in particular were haunting, thank you so much for sharing! All your videos have so much work into them, easily one of the best channels on youtube! Thank you guys.
Thank you!
Thank you for showcasing this place! One of my favorite childhood memories ❤
These videos should last 2 hours each, awesome stuff, mind blowing.
Best channel for fisheries students
Remember this when gus and woody did it but good to see again with your awesome filming skills and nice to see the sidewinder is being out in good use and also nice to see Mike in this one also. keep bringing those excellent videos out guys
Blue World TV and Under Sea G are 2 of my favorite diving channels!
Long time mine diving enthusiast from Sweden. This video was awesome!
Amazing job... Like always... 💪 thanks jonathan...💕
What an extraordinary place. Thanks for those beautiful shots !
What an amazing site. I did NOT expect a mining cave to be that massive! Let alone the actual under water parts! Creeply awesome!
Wow... Those frozen clouds would make a very cool cinematographic effect in a scifi movie!
This is awesome not to mention as safe as cave diving can be. With proper training.
Those metal clouds are mind blowing! Thank you so much for showing us this!
Glad you enjoyed it!

My childhood❤
Same😢

Same
Same here I thought I was the only one in 2016 I swear brings me back to middle school bro
I'm glad you all grew up with this! I wish this was part of MY childhood but oh well :D
I love this channel it’s full of diving in interesting places! Keep up the good work!
Cave diving with no guideline = maximum anxiety. 😅 Very unique dive to say the least, thanks for the virtual tour.
There is a guideline in any of the sections that require it.
I just did this earlier in the year! By far one of my most favorite dives. My personal favorite part of the mines is the redwood forest. I hope you all were able to see that part!
WOW that water is soooo clear!! 👍👍
What an amazing job you guys did. I love how you tell the story of the mine along with the story of your adventure inside. The video does such a great job of capturing the beauty of this place.
Thanks Steve! And thanks for being such a great guide!!
Great video! Love that place! Took my teenage son a couple of years ago and would love to go back!!!
So good to see Mike here. You’re really doing a lot with a lot of faces and names I actually recognize whose channels I also watch.
Mike is a good friend of ours and it was nice to get a chance to dive with him again. Last time we dove together was at Devil's Hole when I was making Ancient Caves.
This is cool! This is epic! This is grand! This is great! This is awesome!
Absolutely crazy vid. The vibes of that mine is next level
As a little kid I would love to watch your vids on my dads phone and every now and then I just check out your Channel to check how your doing thanks for all the good memories as a kid
You know, they are not kids videos....you can still watch them!
Cute Bonnie and nice staff!
Just amazing !!! Thank you for taking us with you to these incredible locations ! 🤩👌👌
My pleasure. I can't believe that my job is to make this stuff!!
This is the coolest place ever to be able to dive!!
The best channel ever...🎉🎉
What a beautiful surreal place ty for sharing what most of us would never see ❤
Went there last year! Best diving I have ever done so far!
been watching you videos on and off since i was about 9, spent 2 years mowing lawns to save up for my own certification, and a couple more years after that slowly purchasing my own gear and tanks. now i’m 17 and cleaning boat bottoms and replacing zincs and props for a living, and looking into opening my own dive tour business out of rhode island in the next year or two
That is very impressive!! Working for what you want and getting there is really satisfying!! Great work and be careful!
i love your videos mate. always come back to watch it
Your my childhood I love this channel
Love you video Jhonothin bird😁
I 'm from the 2nd group of dive guides in the mine ,early 80''s. Seen lots of things I never saw before FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
I love diving here. Been up to trail 22. Cannot wait to go back.
I’ll pass on the ‘orange cotton candy’ you found! 😁❣️
Wow,. Emeizing video, thankyou for making the video
Beautiful and creepy, really appreciate the higher resolution of these newer videos too!
Insaaaaaaane 😍😍😍😍
That place looks so foreign its hard to imagine anyone ever existing in there. I kind of feel bad for the fish if its the only one. Someone should take it to a lake. Awesome video, incredible diving and filming is just amazing. Especially the oxide smoke.
If a fish got in there, that means its connected to a body of water somewhere/some how
I think they told us when we were there that it was put in there
So nice dive !
I love that the videos seem to be released more frequently! Keep up the pace!
We have been doing two episodes/month for the last year or so.
Awesome. I am a relatively new sub and watched the one video where you all explained the vids come out once a month. Then i noticed there were coming out 2x a month and I'm like well totally rad... Because I need blue world more than just 1x a month!
Plus of course seeing mike young was a real treat. I love the collaborations with him and dive talk

What a cool video. The Shots of the metal oxidation smoke is amazing. Love your videos.
Greetings from Germany
There is an absolutely amazing mine dive in Germany called Felicitas. I hope to get there at some point.
used to watch u daily as a kid love the videos still
I cant wait to get back to diving, hopefully in the next month
Wowww... Sir it's amazing... 😮 ... 😍
Awesome video! We have been wanting to dive the mine but they charge an arm and a leg for CCR dives.
LEGENDARY.
Whoever composed/chose your music should get an award.

I guess a 5 or 7 mil is not warm enough for this awsome place.
I need to get my drysuit cert, for sure!!
Great video!!
Yeah, it's cold.
It’s been on my bucket list for years.
Looking forward to burning some sorb
I can see Woody and Gus watching this with teary eyes and Woody blaming Gus for not going this time.
Love this episode! ❤
I’ve watched a ton of scuba and shipwreck videos, but I think you just introduced the term “rustsicles” to me. Good video.
I would like to take credit for that but I'm pretty sure I stole it from somewhere!
I've done the boat tour there. It's truly amazing how massive it is. They just left the equipment there after mining ceased in 1968, i believe. Just shut off the water pumps. The water is very clear & still.

I’ve found my purpose in life. I’m going down that mine
Its always a shame how little views these videos get when they're so amazing.
Agreed.
18:17 That's not a smallmouth bass, that's a largemouth bass.
I knew I was going to get that wrong. You Sure??

Incredible place 😲

Amazing dive!
Very cool!

You really need to dive Madison Blue Spring, would love to see a video going back to the Courtyard

So many caves on my bucket list!!!
thanks for finding such places.
