- Jonathan Bird and Todd Kelly from @BlueWorldTV go diving into Shangri-La, a super tight cave in Marianna, FL.
There is not a whole lot of content about Shangri-La on TH-cam, we couldn't even find a map of the cave!, so we knew we had to show and react to this video because they did such an awesome job capturing their experience there.

Hey guys thanks for the awesome reaction video! Fun to participate!!
I'm sweating bullets in an airconditioned room, I have claustrophobia but I don't give a crap lol. Sometimes, you have to face the fear.
Jonathan is the G.O.A.T. underwater film expert

Is that a seiko divers watch u have on the wrist?couldn't tell.i collect divers watches,some are hard-core, other are more refined, like desk divers ...
My husband just reached remission from cancer and we are so thrilled. My comment is to say thank you! I am not a cave diver. But for whatever reason these videos have taken my mind off of things and given me a break from worrying about stuff. Thank you!
I watched them for the same reason … take my mind away from family worries…
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you. I started watching you a few months ago when I was in a very bad place in my life and you helped me through it a little bit. You inspired me to pick up scuba diving.
Today I finished getting my PADI open water + advanced open water certifications and I am looking forward to keep getting better and eventually get cave certified.
I wish I lived in the US and could have one of you as an instructor.
Hope to meet you guys some day and thank you again.
Congratulations!
That's awesome man. I hope to be able to get into diving as well one day. I've had a very difficult time in life the past 7 years or so. Been battling severe depression, and anxiety. I attempted suicide this past November, and police looked for any reason they could to throw me in jail, and they succeeded. Instead of making my life more easy, they made it more difficult. I caught a malicious mischief charge 3rd degree, for a small fist indentation in my own hallway closet door, that I did over a year prior, and didn't even mean to punch through it. They tried saying it was my girlfriends property but the house was equally both of ours. Now I'm on probation. So things have been hard. I think diving would be something that would help lift my spirits.
@cmcproductions26 I’m really sorry to hear that, I have dealt with similar things myself, on and off, for a good 10/15 years. Why did the police *want* to put you in jail? That’s what I can’t understand. I see you’ve explained why (although putting you in jail for a dent on your own property!? What!?) I hope you’re doing better these days anyway. Much love from the UK.
Jonathan does such a great job with these videos, his production level is on par with Nat Geo! Great video, hope you guys have an awesome start to the week.
Nat geo who ;)
It really is. I binge watched about a year worth of videos awhile back and they're all so good.
😃thanks!!
I used to think only stupid reckless crazy people did cave diving but after watching your channel for a few months now I'm a lot less scared of it and also realize how cool it can be and have a lot of respect for people who do it. Thanks for dispelling a lot of misinformation with facts and perpetuating safe dive culture frankly makes me want to learn to dive someday
Yeah
Only stupid crazy people go cave diving
Sharks tend to attack women
The sky is blue..and up!
i agree whit you, this channel makes cave diving a sport less "dangerous" than people think, still i'm VERY scared of cave diving in tight caves
not even the fish dare to venture in those caves, I have never seen any other creature too. It is truly a place of death.
What you guys and Blue World are doing for the dive community is remarkable.
Woody, like a kid in a candy store 😂 See, I can't do that. Even just watching I can feel my chest constrict. I loved the shark at the start though!
I'm with Gus! Even if I could, I wouldn't! My chest feels constricted just watching them ♥️
People who do caves this right are on a different level , I have anxiety issues in tight places like that , although your videos made me get certified because one day I’d like to cave dive, I don’t think I could ever do something this tight
Gus "Astronomers have found an ocean planet, 630 light-years away, There are many underwater caves on that planet but we won't be diving them"
Woody "Whoa, viewers, that ain't set in stone"
My husband wanted to dive with his friend, without being certified……I refused to go without training. I don’t think the general public knows how dangerous and technical these dives can be. You guys are great at explaining the what and why or diving. I’m hooked on this channel!!
@@Tegneaufreak this seems like suicide even with proper training
I would suggest he each all these videos and he will want to get his training and certification.
Dead man diving
I think that restriction would've been more claustrophobic-inducing if Jonathan and Todd weren't so calm the whole time. Those clear GoPro shots and awesome background music certainly helped as well. Atmosphere is key.
Gus and Woody swapped personalities in this episode: Gus said he'd consider going no mount if there was a UFO to explore on the other side while Woody decided against doing the cave BECAUSE of the no mount factor. Interesting.
"In five minutes, all the silt will be totally gone." Five minutes versus two days, flow makes all the difference!
Thanks for starting my week with a smile guys! Some heroes wear capes, others wear fins :-)
Guys, I will probably never dive in my live, and most definitely will not dive in a cave. Yet, I love watching your channel. Many thanks for fantastic videos, you guys are awesome 🤘
I think one of the most beautiful things about these caves (and I know this might sound weird) is when you get air pockets on the roof of the cave that shimmer just like the surface of water. It looks so trippy, especially when they exhale and all the bubbles go up and disappear into the ceiling.
it is cool, but it's also somewhat damaging in certain environments. Like in a coral reef, wherever air gets trapped ... any coral polyps trapped in that little air pocket will die. In a shipwreck, wherever bubbles are, the wood will get damaged. I'm sure part of cave diving/shipwreck diving training mentions the effect of bubbles.
@@Vincerama in some caves, especially rarely-dived or previously undiscovered ones, there is a certain amount of particulation; tiny pieces of rock and dust raining down that got dislodged by bubbles. The caves themselves are quite solid though, and as far as I know it hasn’t ever caused some type of structural issue or significant damage. This is becoming less of a concern as closed-circuit rebreathers become more of a tool of choice for exploration-which don’t leave any bubbles at all. A small amount would be vented from the counter-lungs and your drysuit upon ascending, but these are tiny and negligible.
sudokode ~ that doesn't sound weird at all... I thought the same thing! Those air pockets look like little lakes all by themselves!
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl Beautiful, another world 🌍 inviting but....👍🇬🇧🇨🇮
I think the air bubbles look just like a blob of mercury floating up there.
I really love watching your videos. I can honestly say that I have learned so much about diving because of you guys. Thank you for your great work. I live in Algeria and yet I get to enjoy your amazing reactions. You gotta love TH-cam.
Insane amount of respect...my stomach hurt just watching the video!
Gus im with you completely. We have a motto: Diving is fun., and when you have to break fun to do a dive. Why even do it? We all know enough fun places to dive. So enough to pick from. Enough adventurous places where you dont need to get uncomfortable
All that work and danger, and what was there to see? Nothing. Just rocks and water. Nah. I would rather dive a reef or something where there's some fish and life to look at!
@@penguin12902 not even the fish dare to venture in those caves, I have never seen any other creature too. It is truly a place of death.
@@penguin12902 the only guaranteed thing in the caves is the possibility of death by exploration
They risk their lives for no reason. They think they're immune to death or something
Woody's like Me Me ME...Gus? Ill go and wait on the boat for you. Tug on the line if your stuck and I'll call Ed.
Jonathan's birds blue world is dope I literally watch it to sleep most nights his voice and cadence goes so well with his channel
That part at the end where you thank him for taking time to do interviews with you. Even tho they have a bigger audience is huge. A lot of people wouldn’t and it’s nice to point it out when it happens. Without you I would’ve never heard of their channel, so I wouldn’t have considered that
That would be too much of a squeeze for me at least underwater.
One of the caves I'm going to get my rescue training in has a 100 foot exit called the birth canal that's like where they stopped. But that's a dry cave so I'm feeling more comfortable about it.
What is getting me is it's rattlesnake cave and not unusual to find western diamondbacks at the bottom of the 15' repel in and around the bottom. I like snakes but not in the dark lol
We were cleaning potable tanks in steamboat Colorado, little 10k tanks with about 6 inches of Cheeto orange sediment in the bottom. You look at that shit wrong and it's zero viz. I dont even wear fins. The skill of these divers is beyond... This is the most insane video you guys have posted.
Seeing a dive-line must be the most reassuring thing you can see in a cave dive.
Hi Guys, I am really enjoying your channel. I’ve learned so much. I’m not a cave diver or even a scuba diver and at 61 years old I probably won’t take up the sport. I just love learning about new things and your channel is a great resource. My husband finds it hilarious and asked if I was qualifying for my virtual cave certification. I told him no, but in my next life I’m definitely taking it up, so I’m getting a head start!
61 is just a number
I’m pretty sure woody is your age. He said he’s been diving for 45 years..
Hi Julinva I got certified at 64, was on my Bucket List. Get a good older instructor. It's lots of fun, I am now 68 and really enjoying it, been to Fiji twice and did the shark dive there, massive Bull sharks just incredible. We only live once!!
@@murraybiggs1185 Thanks for sharing and good for you! Just might consider that - thanks for the inspiration!
The only comment I can say, without upsetting people here greatly, is just why? So dangerous and the rewards looks about as fulfilling as diving in an outhouse. Trying not to be offensive because I know some of you will be upset. I understand you guys are brave as f***, I seriously do, but just why?
Because we have the training, tools, and skills to do a dive like that
@@DIVETALK You misunderstand, I'm not questioning that at all. I only question why go in the first place. Sorry it just doesn't make sense to me. I have no doubt you know what you're doing and I think you guys are super brave to do what you do. Don't want to say anything else, I meant no disrespect. Good luck to you all and be safe.
Fascinating and terrifying video of two of my worst fears at once. Being trapped, and possible drowning. Only way it could be scarier for me is if a giant spider was chasing me through it.
My biggest fear in this world is getting stuck, specifically my head getting stuck. To the point where if i'm wearing a sweater that's too small and it gets caught around my head i start to panic lol.
Someone should make a cave diving version of the movie "Descent." That would make for an epic horror movie.
This cave is like the one from the video where the guy is crawling through a dry cave while the water is rising, that one almost gave me a heart attack, it's so much less scary. This one is super tight and the guys did great, I still can't get over how crazy that guy was in the dry cave.
I tried diving in Thailand on my honeymoon and I couldn't even get a couple of meters down because I was so anxious and scared that I couldn't go underwater for more than a minute or two without having a panic attack. I got back on the boat and calmed down and then tried again but I had the same reaction. i was so angry and disappointed at myself.
Don't be. Plenty of people have lost their lives because they ignored fear. It's what kept you alive. I think there are plenty of people who can only wish they did the same. Listen to their fear. It's what keeps us alive that's why we have it.
Studying to be a marine biologist and this year I’m going to do my first dive lessons to get fully certified as a scuba diver, I don’t know the correct certs I’m going for yet but am enrolling and eventually want to try out cave diving. Cheers for the videos always gives me a bit of extra motivation to chase out my passion.
My wife, 7y.o. son and I watched this yesterday morning. My wife (a claustrophobic non-diver) sat there for 20 minutes after the episode ended. My son keeps asking her questions, and she says "not now honey, I am still thinking about that show..." 😂
I'm not a diver guys but I love this channel and I watch every episode, I can honestly say that I couldn't even imagine going there, I caught myself holding my breath and actually being scared , wow !
I love how y'all interact. You two have created something amazing and unique to watch completely different from other you tube channels. Love you both
Ok at 7:34 that just looks like an awful place to tie off the rock literally tapers up and if any force was pulled on the line it seems like it could slip up the top of the rock wouldn’t you wanna tie off to the bottom of it or to a rock on the bottom side instead of the top side that of a rock that tapers up it just looks so sketchy to me I know they know what they’re doing and I don’t
this channel makes cave diving a sport less "dangerous" than people think, still i'm VERY scared of cave diving in tight caves. btw i love you guys
I have never been cave diving, I don't have any particular interest in doing it, but I really really enjoy dive talks. I especially like when there is a surprise guest from the video (you guys are reacting to) at the end of the episode. I guess it's my version of cave [youtube] diving.
Awww!! You guys!! You're making me blush☺️
I would not go there if it were above water.
I have been S.C.U.B.A Certified since 1994 as an Open Water Diver then took the Advanced O.W. in 1995 then I wanted a bit more adventure so I then took the Wreck Diving, Deep Diver, then Nitrox / Mixed Gas Specialty Classes in 1996 to 1997 "don't get me wrong that by wanting more adventure I'm in any way saying that O.W. got boarding because it IS NOT by any means boring even now I still LOVE ❤️😘❤️ O.W. Dives, then realizing how cold Deep dives can really be I went for Dry Suite training (All Through P.A.D.I.) You would think I had enough adventure's to be had, well since watching this channel I am just "Chomping at the Bit to take the cave training & Rebreather (again with P.A.D.I.) LOL and then get my little scronny A$$ into as many caves as I can..
LMFAO 😂😆😂😆
This is just ridiculous. There is no way for no reason would I be going anywhere near any tiny underwater hole with a finite amount of air and food.
I thought you guys were saying "no mouth" until 10:53 when I finally heard "no mount". Until then, I was trying to figure out what no mouth meant. I'm looking at the diver thinking, "his mouthpiece is in his mouth. 🤷🏻♀️ Must be some diving terminology I haven't heard them talk about before." 😂
I need sleep...and hearing aids apparently. 🤣
Nope . My 2 biggest fears getting trapped and drowning. My hearts pounding just watching. J.f.y.i ... as a profession i fought in a cage . This stuff man ....
Hey guys love your videos and comantarys but no way in hell will yoievercatch meeker doing cave diving been around 80 yrs tryingtinhit 100 both myfolkslivedintotere 87 and 90 my graman lived to 100 iwant to bea ember in that club.
❤❤❤❤I absolutely love watching that Kind of stuff from the safety of my flat,❤❤❤ thanx
That is NOT what I call fun ! I had to take a half a bar of Xannax just watching this !!!! that is bloody scary !! how can anyone say that is having a good time ! what if you get stuck? or if there's an earthquake ? I'd want to take a shovel and dig a bigger hole, no I just wouldn't go..no way !
Watching this old vid just for kicks and then just really noticing how much weight Gus has lost since then. Great job man
Well I WASN’T claustrophobic before I watched this. 😂
"I live on the edge, I get the most from life: whenever I find a hole in the ground, I jump right into it like a sandworm. If it's filled with water, it's even better!"
Palms are sweating!!!! Ill stick to fishing and let you knuckleheads go where I would not. Peace
It makes me wonder if before it flooded if you could walk in I grew up in Florida and like you guys say there are caves everywhere under water not underwater I miss the adventures Florida offers so many sink hole caves
You very probably could. Marianna is also home to the marianna caverns. The largest dry caverns in florida and the only ones with open public tours. I went there for my 3rd grade field trip. Highly recommended
MrBallen - Let me tell you about the dark and mysterious. 3 places where people shouldn't go, but went anyways.
These guys could shimmy thru AC ducts & get away w/ a huge diamond if u ask me! 😂💎
At the beginning of the video I thought he was referring to the Mariana Trench 😂😅
Imagine running into a 12 ft gator inside that cave lol. I wouldn't dive ANY water in FL.
I could NEVER bring myself to do this. I guess I’ll just enjoy my diving career from the computer chair lol
I think the airpockets on the ceiling look magical.
Just watch the movie Woody. Really. All your answers will be answered.
IVE NEVER DONE ANY BEFORE. BUT THAT TO ME IS HEAVY NOT ENJOYABLE AND FAR TO TIGHT. GOT TO BE FEW KILLED IN THAT.. RESPECT TO YOUS ANYWAY TROOPS.. SCOTLAND LIVE
Blue World is one of my favorite shows. Mr. Byrd is a modern day Jaques Cousteau.
A great 'Dire Straits' song,🎵"Shangri-la", by Mark Knopfler 😁
This gives me so much anxiety 😅 so glad I found your channel, I’m learning so much about something I would never experience myself!! Really interesting!
Caralho! you have outdone yourselves. good vibes from brazil.
people die in regular caves :O i would never try it in water . like if you are stuck or just slowed by anything you are dead .
It’s crazy to think that I live maybe an hour from this location. I’ve got family in Marianna, and we use to go the Marianna Caverns when we were kids. It’s one of those small towns with so much natural beauty!
I love the very real conversation with you four at the end. Just a bunch of diving friends talking about what you love.
I think the big caves would be cool but there is no way you could ever convince me to do this.
Unbelievable. I find this incredibly interesting but something I could never do.
I live in Marianna,FL. More caves y'all don't know about
WOODY: THERE MUST BE A REASON TO GO THERE?
GUS:....OK
IM DEAD LOL 😂 😂
Guys can you do a video about the cave with the UFO on the other side of it? Thanks! 👽
I saw a lot of small air pockets on the roof of the cave which I can only assume are from divers expelling co2, do these pockets build up and become a problem after a while? if so, how do you clear them out
As a claustrophobic person afraid of water, I don’t even know why I’m watching all your videos😂They make me want to take a diving class in a pool
Despite the beauty the tight spaces are a complete no from me ahaha
I remember me and some friends going caving in high school. Pretty tight spot like this, and I had to really focus on controlling my anxiety. Cool experience, but I can't even imagine doing it under water!
Love blue world channel. I have to agree that cave diving is probably the most scary haha
I love what the one guy said about taking off his equipment if there were a ufo to check out further in. I laughed hard at that. Matter of fact if that were the case I’d put forth the time and money to properly learn cave diving even though I absolutely 100% suffer from claustrophobia.
On the other side of the restriction there is a skeleton holding the wheel. - 🤣🤣🤣
My boyfriend who used to dive for a treasure ship here in South Florida is now looking over my shoulder watching these videos with me. His eyeballs are popping out of his head because he used to go to the springs to swim he says but not to dive. Like me those tight cracks and Holes would put us in a panic attack
Hey guys - great video! It would be really helpful if you guys gave an approximate height, weight and shirt size of everyone that goes through these restrictions.
As a 6'2" 2xl 280lbs person, cave diving seems SOOO cool but slightly out of reach...
I think you’d be surprised what you can fit through that you wouldn’t think of.
When you have a total silt out situation and the second or third person decides to thumb the dive, would it be helpful to have a predetermined sound signal (like blowing a whistle once or twice) to those in front you, who can’t see you, that you are turning around? Jonathan Bird has some truly amazing videos. Have been following them since the beginning.
I'm sure it's personal.
"Wouldn't be enjoyable for me" is a great way to put it.
Gotta be some people who actually would enjoy unmounting their rebreathers and squeezing through, just like some people like low vis dives. That whole 'different strokes for different folks' thing 😜
Cave divers need to be locked in padded rooms for their own good.
it's so good when shared passions bring people together
I know it's a year after and i'm watching this for the first time, and i'm having The hardest time watching this. I am so claustrophobic, right now,
I'd be having panic attacks in that hole. Holy shit.
No need to push further! Life is good. Nothing worth seeing! Come on woody
im new here, but Woody constantly saying how speechless he is and how rare it is when it happens like every video is my favorite thing xD or him saying "this doesnt happen often but im gonna not be talking this video" 😂 you could turn it into a drinking game, shits so funny I love these two lmfao
So fascinating, beautiful, and terrifying! You really have to have an explorers heart for cave diving 😬
"On the other side there is a skeleton holding a reel" :D
I had to turn away on the way back. Way to small.
Sorry Gus, im with Woody on this one - DISCLAIMER: dont do dangerous stuff, but it would be cool to see you guys dive a crazy cave like this one, even if you dont get too far. But yeah, safety first, dont want Gus to be in an uncomfortable situation!
having a problem here seems very dangerous since its gonna take alot of time to get out, u have to squeeze trough everything to get out and who knows maybe by then u are already dead
We follow rules so this doesn’t happen. For example one of the rules is about gas management, only go in as far as you can go with 1/3 of your gas, which means that even with an issue you would have 2/3 of gas (I.E. double what you used to go it) to get back out. Plus your buddy has 2/3s too!
Did Dive Talk record a video on Ben McDaniel and what they think happened?
Not yet
Guys, I found somenthing that I think you will love to react to. There is this channel called MetaBallStudios, that make size comparizon videos. He made one called "UNDERGROUND Comparison". It start with sewers, but then it shows a lot of caves
Now that is SQUEEZING YOUR BUT DIVE😱😱😱😱😱😱 Jonathan the best. Thanks guys Woodieeee and Guz! You guys ROCK'S 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤿🤿🤿🤿🤿🤿🤿🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
man, these vids make me wanna try cave diving.
Okay so like. They make me wanna refresh my open water chops, get some good practice in, get comfortable with my basics, _then_ get certified and try cave diving. Or maybe wreck diving. Or both! Both is good. But just in general you guys' channel has reminded me of the absolute _joy_ that diving was for me, when I got my Open water certs.
Spoiler alert: the reason I click on videos like this is because I’m claustrophobic lol. I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach watching caving whether diving or dry caving
Just found out I have enough Certifications and logged dives to start basic cave dive certification. Thank you guys for the inspiration 👏
Hi guys. Love you content, just one thing though is the correct way to pronounce marianna. It's named after the founders two daughters Mary and Anna. So it's pronounced one after the other and anna is pronounced with a harder "an" beginning rather an a softer "on" beginning. It seems Spanish but it's Scottish. He used Mari instead of mary because maryanna would then be mispronounced mar-yanna. Kind of a pick your poison type of situation
I don't mean any harm by it. I used to live there so that knowledge might actually help yall next time you go exploring. If you really want to fit in then draw it out with a southern drawl
The pronunciations outsiders give to places are always interesting. Ocklockoknee and wewahitchka always give people trouble
