I mean having your luck run out is one thing, but having air bubbles cause an underwater mud slide that traps you in a cave which has never happened before in cave diving is a whole nother level.
It haooens more often than you think. A lot of thatvstyff is only suspending itself because of water pressure. Add air and displace that water and change the pressure. Cave divers risk it a lot more than I think they even realize. Especially those who explore new caves. Once a cave has been gone in thousands of times it's kinda deemed stable by association. But yeah. I will only ever dry cave because of this. Whats there you know is decently solid because it's suspending itself with no help from other pressures. Yeah dry caves collapse some times thafs usually from a massive amount of age. Or because it spent half it's life under water that dried up. Making mud aka "the chinking of a cave" crack up and get brittle. Those dry caves can suck a big one and I'll stay away. A solid limestone cave though? You're statistically safer in a limestone cave during an earthquake than you are on the surface if you're around buildings and trees. Which most places have.
@@KarstRats That makes sense, it's sad they have to figure these things out by someone dying most of the time, hopefully they have better ways of gauging this kinda stuff so more people don't have to die like that.
They were some of the best, most experienced divers and there's still no way they could've known their bubbles would cause a cave-in because it had never happened before. RIP Parker
@Marvin Eaglecock A rebreather doesint give you infinite air and also doesint change the fact that you need certain air mixes for certain depths. On top of that they are big and clunky. If they had a rebreather getting back through the tiny hole might have been impossible. But hey im sure you know better then a whole team of poeple that do it for a living.
Despite how tragic this story as a whole was, the police going in to retrieve Parker before his dive team even had the chance to was so sweet that it nearly made me cry. You can really tell that he must have been a great person
Around 4 years ago, I was river rifting near the Royal gorge and our instructor pointed out a rock sticking out of the water. He told us that the rocks was hollow on the inside from erosion and that underneath the water there’s a decent sized opening. He then told us a while back a newly married couple decided to go on a river rafting trip for there honeymoon in the spring time (waters the highest and roughest in spring) and during the section with the rock, the husband fell off the raft and instead of trying to lay flat on top of the water he tried swimming for the raft. Before he made it he got sucked into the hole drowning in the process. The opening was too small to recover his body and it remains that way too this day. The rock bears the nickname “Widows Rock”. The though of suddenly getting sucked inside of a rock and not being able to get through the hole you came in is terrifying.
Looked these up and they are called “undercut rocks” and they are pretty common and extremely dangerous. People get body parts stuck in them all the time.
@ThatGuyYouveKnown yeah because there's not much of you under the surface to be sucked in, when you lay flat and spread your weight you become more buoyant I believe and just float past 🤔🤔🤔
it must haunt Bill to know that, essentially, the only reason he survived was because Parker found a small hole, widened it (and in his desperation took off his tanks to do so), and attached a guideline leading out. must be truly hard to live with. i can only imagine the survivors guilt.
@@DOFLAMENGO22 yeah but you gotta remember they were very pressed for time, and panic had already set in. those last few minutes of Parker's life were crucial and he made a decision, and by chance it ended up saving Bill's life. so you know... god bless.
@@richardmolina4429 Survivors guilt is something you can get surviving literally anything that someone else didn't, Hell you can get it even if you all survived but someone else got seriously injured while you didn't. Doesn't matter how or why, it just happens. Its pretty much a form of depression, and ANYBODY can get depression, its not caused by anything it just happens.
When I got my scuba certification, my instructor said “if you get in trouble, you can always go up”. I’ll never go cave diving. Open water is fine for me.
The police divers going to retrieve him is humanity at the finest. They both retrieved him b/c they wanted to and they also saved Bill and his friends from another heart churning memory.
@@Shedevilxxlots of people take morbid pleasure in the deaths of others. A form of schadenfreude. It makes one feel better about their life and their decisions.
An illustration of the cave layout and colored dots moving through them for the various divers would really help follow the events as you describe them. It can be difficult.
I still don’t. The cave must be “m” shaped where the middle stem is longer and so it balances on this middle stem and one of the side columns. There must also be a hole in the middle to go from one side to the other and one of the side columns is shorter and leaning against a solid rock. Let’s say they were going from right to left of the “m”, when they were in the left side the bubbles of their breathing lifted the left side making the rock rest on the right column which stepped on the line. This is how I see it but I might be wrong.
Lesson are learned in blood as they say. The phenomena of the bubbles causing the restriction to fill up with sand and debris from the ceiling is something we would not have had the awareness of without this tragic incident.
Yeah, and as it isn't common, the only documented case being this one which is over 30 years ago, even a modern experienced team may not know about it, and even with all the safety measures in place, it's only a matter of time before it happens again.
@@ashkebora7262 then you have those individuals that go out of their way to sacrifice their bodies and health to improve science, technology, engineering, and regulations. Like John Stapp, AKA the man that invented "Murphy's Law"
It’s so unfortunate that Parker didn’t make it in time. The irony is that he did have the time to save Bills life. Prayers to everyone involved. He had a good support system that tried their hardest to save him. Such a tragedy
My mother, uncle, and grandparents were /are all avid skin and scuba divers and braved waters all over the world for their passion. They’ve been stung by stingrays, stonefish (australia), Port. manowar (Zanzibar), and my granddad had his thumb partially severed from a barracuda bite off the coast of florida (where they retired). Anyway, they all have told me at different times that cave diving was a little too risky for them. nothing but respect for the divers and their skill here, not much you can do to prepare for something that no one ever heard of. condolences to the families and props to the responders.
@abigmonkeyforme wow that’s nuts. yeah i think they were locally close enough to shore to get treatment for the stonefish pretty quick. they would slice open coke cans, flatten them, then cut them so they’d serve as shoe liners but i guess not then. but i guess not that day.
I've been watching your videos since the very beginning and I want to tell you how impressed I am. I really liked your videos at the start when you were asking for feedback and adjusting some things and the quality has just continued to go up and up and up. I'm happy for your success and continued channel growth, keep it up, it's greatly appreciated!
I am a local to where this event occurred. Interestingly, cave diving is not actually common among locals...it's almost exclusively a tourist attraction. Like, we'll sometimes go into caves. And we'll always be in the gulf or in the springs. But we'll never be in the caves that are inside of the springs! We keep our water adventures and our cave adventures separate
Cave diving is an exceptionally niche activity so there really isn't going to be a place where it's common among the locals. Always going to just be a thing a handful of folk do and the majority cone from elsewhere.
So so tragic. I feel for Parker’s wife and friends. Obviously I didn’t know the man but I hope he would be happy if he knew his death at least allowed his friend to escape. But I’m sure Bill has (had?) a lot of survivors guilt.
As the kind of guy who "will go down swinging"... If my best efforts can't save my own life, then the "next best" is that whatever my progress might accomplish before I'm done is at least enough to get someone else out of it alive. I don't know how Parker would feel about it, but I've noticed that a LOT of us (as adventurer types) seem to act and feel a lot of the same ways about a lot of the same things. ;o)
On almost all of these videos, survivors are mentioned to re-enter the sport and often the exact cave they were endangered in. Many find this strange, but I completely understand it. I'm not a participant in extreme sports of any kind, but the overwhelming urge that first person felt to go down and dive into an underwater cave must be strong enough to beckon the ones who already made that choice back in.
That’s heartbreaking. I really feel like because Bill was the more experienced - he left Parker to try his best to find a solution. But Parker was probably panicked out of his mind and wanted to find another way too, but unfortunately perished. Bill just sitting there in the water, not caring, really says it all. He feels the weight of his friends death on him and he wants to go with him too in that moment. 😢 Also… Parker taught the cops how to rescue divers and they cared for him so much they gave no hesitation to be there early morning to get their friend back. 😢
Life tip- if you are doing anything, ask yourself, “can this activity end up as a TH-cam video on Scary Interesting’s channel if gone wrong?” If the answer is yes..don’t do it 😂
I don't know why, but the background music you use in these videos always makes me super sleepy. Makes them great videos for bedtime stories for me since you upload basically at my bed time.
Even if I have heard the story before in another channel, I still click on YOURS because I know that your story telling is really good, you find facts that aren't in some of the other ones too. Anyone can read from a piece of paper with some creepy music in the background over a video of someone climbing a mountain but very very few can make you watch that same video two or three times. Which you can do. Glad to see things are going good with your ears. Hope your parts are working with WiFi.
Freak accident. Nothing could have prevented that. Dove a fair amount of caves and caverns. Been silted out a few times to. But was always able to follow a line out. Don't think I'd do it again today though...
I'm from Sebring Fl, where Lake Jackson is, and no it doesn't drain entirely at times. The water does go down A LOT, but nowhere near entirely. Now I live in the panhandle, where this occurred.
It should be noted that I've worked in the area of the Woodville Karst Plain and it looks nothing like the first picture of a karst landscape in this video. I would love it if Florida's landscape was that gorgeous, but it is very flat and our karst is mostly seen in springs and sinkholes.
I lived in southFlorida and never went to the panhandle/Tallahassee area. But when I saw the first photo I thought, "that sure doesn't look like Florida!"
I really enjoy your videos. Makes me very happy when I see them pop up in my subscription feed. I think I heard you once say you are Canadian. Cheers from Montreal.
Heartbreaking story of experienced cave divers running into a very unusual occurrence! They did nothing wrong but still a good man lost his life! RIP Parker you are still missed today!
@@stoiccrane4259 except an astronaut has some mission, often research related, and they get an insane amount of training and cross-field knowledge before going
You should make a vid about the plura cave incident. It is an insane freshwater cave in Norway which goes almost 2 miles into a mountain and at the deepest it is like 150m deep. 2 diver died there if i remember correctly
So tragic, their friend cleared the way for them but never made it. What a nightmare. The only way I will ever explore underwater caves is while sitting onshore with VR headset while controlling an underwater drone.
I'm a fairly experienced Florida cave and technical wreck diver. I was also a police diver for more than 20 years. This story put a lump in my chest that won't go away. I think im about to convert to only diving on reefs in the Caribbean.
I had the same thing happen to a friend and I, but lucky were were not under water. While exploring a cave with only one long route, we heard a rumble, but just assumed it was explosions from the nearby quarry. When we decided to leave, we kept arguing with each other (and ourselves), about taking a wrong turn, when there were no turns in this route. We realized what happened when we exited about 5 meters above where we entered. the entire ceiling had collapsed, creating a while new route. Lucky for us, it was a continuous path to the outside.
@@Ariadne-xy8iw Aww, you're no fun. Risking the possibility drowning in a dark crevice of a remote underwater cave where few can reach you just for the fun of exploring is one of life's wonders!

Hearing about things like tri-mix and guidelines make me wonder how many people in history had to die for us to learn that these things were necessary.
Dangerous hobby or career for people to do. I hope the risk is worth the reward. RIP 🕊️ at least he helped save his friend. I feel bad for the guy, but more so for his family and friends that have to live with that horrible loss in their hearts. God bless them.
Hi there. Thanks for the beautiful videos. It's respectful and informative, at no point do I feel it's seeking to capitalize on tragedy. The facts and emotion relayed are so honest that I'm often time left with immense sadness for the loved ones of the lost. Your videos serve as a reminder to not only be thoroughly prepared but also not to take anything for granted, to live each moment. Thank you once again.
lots of people take morbid pleasure in the deaths of others. A form of schadenfreude. It makes one feel better about their life and their decisions. This is nothing but exploiting tragedy. You enjoy it - Own it.
My deepest respect goes to anyone riding the line between life and death, for they know how to truly live in the presence of death. Onwards and on, the spirit lives on. I’m sure his passing was far beyond tragic.
I was a camper during the 2000s and a counselor in the next decade at the camp built around this spring. lived 2 miles away, and spent every summer for years there. never once did I hear about this. we heard about the cave divers death, for sure, but always heard it in relation to Wakulla springs (half a mile or so away, but feeds into the same cave system. pretty wild to learn.
Its kind of sad knowing that they could have probably dug themselves out with that 45 minutes of air. They kind-of wasted it in the confusion, not knowing what to do because of it being an incident that hasnt happened before.. its a tragic learning event for others.. hopefully if it happens in the future then the divers will know to just try and remove the sedement from the hole that got filled.
I used to do underwater recovery for our fire department. I learned so much about so much it’s not for everyone I can tell you that you never quite prepared for what you’re gonna find.
It was both mid January and mid shit-push when Scary Interesting posted, the sheer excitement and intrigue of such occurrence relieved my agony as the remaining solid mass exited its tunnel gracefully.
@@MordecaiAliVanAllenOShea No, it was simply inaccurate. We don't wing anything. We use extensive training, risk mitigation and plan each dive individually.
@@MordecaiAliVanAllenOShea So you think exploration is stupid? You are certainly entitled to that opinion but not everyone is content to sit on the couch.
I've been thinking about getting into diving in general, and I told myself once I got a little older I had to start reading again. Seems like a good combination since my knees hurt
These videos terrify me SO MUCH!! (Seriously, it’s embarrassing, but I just moved in with my mom & I was too scared to go upstairs to my room last night!!)🙂😱
Oh my goodness that hilly rocky outcropping as a background image when describing Woodville/Tallahassee, hahahaha!!! It's forest and swamp here, my dude. The limestone is underground, we definitely do not have cliffs here.
Hey SI huge fan of the channel and content, like the style and your pacing and verbiage makes it fairly easy for even non native English speakers to follow along. However, if you could please for the love of god get some different BGM music to add some variety to this. If I have to hear "generic free use underwater music" for the 20th video I am not sure I will be able to take it.

@@TheGhostFart opioids in my case sadly and hopefully my stalker ex-gf in the future, I miss her so much
I don't know why, but the background music you use in these videos always makes me super sleepy. Makes them great videos for bedtime stories for me since you upload basically at my bed time.
Even if I have heard the story before in another channel, I still click on YOURS because I know that your story telling is really good, you find facts that aren't in some of the other ones too. Anyone can read from a piece of paper with some creepy music in the background over a video of someone climbing a mountain but very very few can make you watch that same video two or three times. Which you can do. Glad to see things are going good with your ears. Hope your parts are working with WiFi.
Freak accident. Nothing could have prevented that. Dove a fair amount of caves and caverns. Been silted out a few times to. But was always able to follow a line out. Don't think I'd do it again today though...
Wow 😳 I love diving, I even did a shipwreck. But caves.... dealing with nature which is constantly changing. God bless you Parker 🙏🙏🙏
I’d have so many oxygen tanks on my back that I’d sink. Couldn’t imagine running out of air. How absolutely horrifying
I listen to these videos while cave diving as I find them so relaxing.
When you have the requisite amount of experience and you've planned and planned again and triple planned...
This activity is fractally dangerous.
I'm from Sebring Fl, where Lake Jackson is, and no it doesn't drain entirely at times. The water does go down A LOT, but nowhere near entirely. Now I live in the panhandle, where this occurred.
It should be noted that I've worked in the area of the Woodville Karst Plain and it looks nothing like the first picture of a karst landscape in this video. I would love it if Florida's landscape was that gorgeous, but it is very flat and our karst is mostly seen in springs and sinkholes.
I lived in southFlorida and never went to the panhandle/Tallahassee area. But when I saw the first photo I thought, "that sure doesn't look like Florida!"
I really enjoy your videos. Makes me very happy when I see them pop up in my subscription feed. I think I heard you once say you are Canadian. Cheers from Montreal.
lots of people take morbid pleasure in the deaths of others. A form of schadenfreude. It makes one feel better about their life and their decisions.
Heartbreaking story of experienced cave divers running into a very unusual occurrence! They did nothing wrong but still a good man lost his life! RIP Parker you are still missed today!
I love your narration style and voice! Your audio sounds so good too! What kind of mic are you working with?
I agree... the audio is really good.
Of all extreme sports I never understood cave diving the most
Cause it ain’t a sport lol
@@cobaingrohlnovo just a terrible hobby lmao
The sense of adventure and wonder is exhilarating beyond compare 😉
It's less of a sport and more like an activity for adrenaline junkies. The aquatic equivalent of being an astronaut or hang glider.
@@stoiccrane4259 except an astronaut has some mission, often research related, and they get an insane amount of training and cross-field knowledge before going
I love reminding myself that I'll never go cave diving.

I only discovered you a few days ago and now I’m subscribed, watched every single one of your videos, and patiently waited for a new upload…🤩
You should make a vid about the plura cave incident. It is an insane freshwater cave in Norway which goes almost 2 miles into a mountain and at the deepest it is like 150m deep. 2 diver died there if i remember correctly
Hearing about Bill’s reaction to Parker dying was absolutely heartbreaking. I can’t imagine that pain😭
This is becoming one of my favorite channels. Keep up the great work!
So tragic, their friend cleared the way for them but never made it. What a nightmare. The only way I will ever explore underwater caves is while sitting onshore with VR headset while controlling an underwater drone.
Bill lived because parker died :( and poor bill was in state of shock for so long, even sat there in water not caring if he himself died.
Tragic, gripping , and fascinating. Thanks Sean
You're welcome.
Great story!! I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your channel and fantabulous style and voice. Thank you!! 🥰🤗
I will never scuba dive in my life-have no desire to. But your videos are so interesting! It’s like I’m terrified but just can’t look away.
Thank you for the high effort narration and informative visuals.
No problem
If the music wasn't the same loop over and over this would actually be a perfect channel
Adding the green highlight on the screen and their picture really help add to the immersion of ur retelling
"that was ME waving at you" my heart stopped
I remember going to swim there and being told there was a huge cave system a few feet away. That’s literally insane.
I'm a fairly experienced Florida cave and technical wreck diver. I was also a police diver for more than 20 years. This story put a lump in my chest that won't go away. I think im about to convert to only diving on reefs in the Caribbean.
I had the same thing happen to a friend and I, but lucky were were not under water.
While exploring a cave with only one long route, we heard a rumble, but just assumed it was explosions from the nearby quarry.
When we decided to leave, we kept arguing with each other (and ourselves), about taking a wrong turn, when there were no turns in this route.
We realized what happened when we exited about 5 meters above where we entered.
the entire ceiling had collapsed, creating a while new route.
Lucky for us, it was a continuous path to the outside.
never caught an upload this early, love your videos!❤
Didn't think there was a hobby I'd have a bigger "NOPE" about than sky diving, before I learned about cave diving. 😨
Wuss
@@johndavid8815Room temp IQ take
With all of the safety regulations surrounding jump conditions and the equipment, skydiving is a fuckload safer than this.
I’ve been skydiving and bungee jumping and I would do both again but cave diving is a HARD NOPE!
@@Ariadne-xy8iw Aww, you're no fun. Risking the possibility drowning in a dark crevice of a remote underwater cave where few can reach you just for the fun of exploring is one of life's wonders!
I've heard this one before. Still spooks me to no end. You couldn't pay me to go underground like that.
Hes reuploading his videos..
I am so terrified of cavediving I tied a main line from my bed to my front door and I sleep with 3 lights 😥
Stop it you’re cracking me up
Don't forget to leave tanks to leave time for decompression on your way out.
Absolutely horrific...that poor diver! Thank you for uploading and sharing!
I appreciate the data you put up. Well done!
Thanks
I cannot think of any worse way to meet the Reaper…. KNOWING exactly how much time you had left before you would DROWN, & experiencing the fear & terror of being lost in CAVE & underwater….horrific!!
This background music enhances the experience every time. It was a brilliant choice on your part.
[the post was altered, but you can more or less puzzle together its original sorry state that caused people grief from the tense conversation below]
??🤷♀
@@ec5625 what?
@@Maggerama read what you wrote. It doesn't make sense. I dont understand what you were trying to say 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@ec5625 What exactly don't you understand? That this music he uses in all of his videos does a great job at improving the atmosphere?
@@Maggerama your first comment makes no sense. What you ment to say and what you actually wrote, are two very different things. Like I said, re read your first comment
Hearing about things like tri-mix and guidelines make me wonder how many people in history had to die for us to learn that these things were necessary.
Dangerous hobby or career for people to do. I hope the risk is worth the reward. RIP 🕊️ at least he helped save his friend. I feel bad for the guy, but more so for his family and friends that have to live with that horrible loss in their hearts. God bless them.
Another great video! You do great work.
Thanks
You are one of the best at this
Hi there. Thanks for the beautiful videos. It's respectful and informative, at no point do I feel it's seeking to capitalize on tragedy. The facts and emotion relayed are so honest that I'm often time left with immense sadness for the loved ones of the lost. Your videos serve as a reminder to not only be thoroughly prepared but also not to take anything for granted, to live each moment. Thank you once again.
lots of people take morbid pleasure in the deaths of others. A form of schadenfreude. It makes one feel better about their life and their decisions. This is nothing but exploiting tragedy. You enjoy it - Own it.
Cave diving just seems so dangerous. I’ve watched many videos like this and people probably shouldn’t go to tight places where they can’t breathe.
keep up the great graphics!!
6:20 - That's where you call off the dive and turn back. If you like yourself at all.
This happened while they were turning back though…
My deepest respect goes to anyone riding the line between life and death, for they know how to truly live in the presence of death. Onwards and on, the spirit lives on. I’m sure his passing was far beyond tragic.
🤔
I’m sorry but if you get a sigh of relief every time you get out of a cave why would you enter it to begin with obviously you don’t like it 😭
Adrenaline, I guess.
I was a camper during the 2000s and a counselor in the next decade at the camp built around this spring. lived 2 miles away, and spent every summer for years there. never once did I hear about this. we heard about the cave divers death, for sure, but always heard it in relation to Wakulla springs (half a mile or so away, but feeds into the same cave system. pretty wild to learn.
Still waiting on that "Cave exploring gone right" episode.
Would be a goog series.
Aquarius?
Take a look at the WKPP.
I've learned everything I need to know about cave diving by watching videos like this one.
Namely, I've learned to never go cave diving.
Love your videos bro ❤️
Isn't his voice just the bees knees?? I bet that's ur favorite part too? 🤣🤤
Its kind of sad knowing that they could have probably dug themselves out with that 45 minutes of air. They kind-of wasted it in the confusion, not knowing what to do because of it being an incident that hasnt happened before.. its a tragic learning event for others.. hopefully if it happens in the future then the divers will know to just try and remove the sedement from the hole that got filled.
I heard this story before. It's one of the most horrifying cave diving story.
I used to do underwater recovery for our fire department. I learned so much about so much it’s not for everyone I can tell you that you never quite prepared for what you’re gonna find.
It was both mid January and mid shit-push when Scary Interesting posted, the sheer excitement and intrigue of such occurrence relieved my agony as the remaining solid mass exited its tunnel gracefully.
I love your videos so much man keep it up!
This one should definitely be on dive talk
If there's one thing I've learned from this channel it's that the list of "top cave divers in the world" is a constantly updating list.
Cave diving seems akin to regular people deciding to go be astronauts and just winging a mission.
I can assure you we aren't "winging" anything.
@@syntaxerrorsix3137 that analogy was a whoosh for you, I guess.
@@MordecaiAliVanAllenOShea No, it was simply inaccurate. We don't wing anything. We use extensive training, risk mitigation and plan each dive individually.
@@syntaxerrorsix3137 okay I’ll simplify it for you, it’s a stupid thing to do.
@@MordecaiAliVanAllenOShea So you think exploration is stupid? You are certainly entitled to that opinion but not everyone is content to sit on the couch.
Staying underwater for 4 house doing nothing we drive me crazy! Such a sad outcome!
I've been thinking about getting into diving in general, and I told myself once I got a little older I had to start reading again. Seems like a good combination since my knees hurt
These videos terrify me SO MUCH!! (Seriously, it’s embarrassing, but I just moved in with my mom & I was too scared to go upstairs to my room last night!!)🙂😱
Is your room underwater? If it isn't, you have nothing to be afraid of. If it is underwater, pardon me for being so judgemental.
Oh my goodness that hilly rocky outcropping as a background image when describing Woodville/Tallahassee, hahahaha!!! It's forest and swamp here, my dude. The limestone is underground, we definitely do not have cliffs here.
I absolutely love your videos, though I must know, what is the music playing in the background in your cave videos? I really like it quite a lot.
So Parker actually saved Bill's life..... I'm not crying!!
Hey SI huge fan of the channel and content, like the style and your pacing and verbiage makes it fairly easy for even non native English speakers to follow along. However, if you could please for the love of god get some different BGM music to add some variety to this. If I have to hear "generic free use underwater music" for the 20th video I am not sure I will be able to take it.
O ya,... Here we go again. I love some caving stories, they scare the shit out of me hahaha
Found your channel last week and blew through your videos and im desperate for new, keep your good work up 👍
