I knew nothing about diving before stumbling on this channel really, but learning about these people's amazing accomplishments and unfortunate tragedies is fascinating. You guys have done a great job in educating your audience to the nuances, guidelines and rules involved. Also you do a good job of breaking down what's happening and how/why it might have potentially happened from an experienced divers perspective in both the success's and failures that you've covered.
fully agree. i also knew nothing about cave diving until finding this channel. or really diving in general besides seeing a few videos here and there. Woody and Gus are awesome!
@@DIVETALK cant buy any of the Tshirts I like because you're largest size is 2xl...I wear 5xl normally because I'm 6'6" tall lol 2xl would likely not cover to the waistline
@@robreesor5011 lmao! I feel you’re pain fellow “big guy” I’m not quite as tall as you, more like 6’ 2” or 6’ 3”, BUT I’m tall and thin/athletic and have a super long torso (had a teacher who stood 5’ 6” but when we stood next to eachother our hips were at the same level lol) …so long story short my body size is only like a large…maybe even medium depending….but length wise I’m more like an XL…so most of my stuff is super loose but right length…OR fits somewhat right, but way too short. Lmao
Omg Jill just sounds like someone who loves diving so much, she sounds so sweet and just happy to be able to go dive somewhere, and help someone, or learn something. Almost like she never lost that "childlike enthusiasm" and she never should, what a wonderful person!
Love when she dodges telling them how she got out of the collapsed iceberg to save it for the book lol! They weren’t quite getting the hint so she just told them a different story, that’s great😂
🇨🇦 here too! This channel got me thinking about a forgotten dream, but it’s people like her I’ve looked into independently since then that have really given me that motivation to really DO IT, and believe I can. I’m not rushing into caves anytime soon probably though.
She's amazing! Im happy that my dive instructor was a female. I think that the have a level of maternal protection and care that was very comforting as a novice diver.
Me: I’m a non-diver and underwater caves scare me. Jill: [talks about diving] Me: I want to get certified in everything because I’ll go exploring with Jill anywhere.
This is by far the most WHOLESOME video and interview I’ve ever seen/heard, not even kidding. I’m not a diver of ANY kind and yet this was both inspirational and just made me feel good and happy. Well done to all 3 of you!
"All of our activity inspires people." Absolutely. This was such a great interview. The footage in the background was breath-taking and I had no idea that ice caves existed!! I am eager to look up Jill's book and the documentary with the polar bears.
Yes! The shapes of cathedrals obviously have some effect, regardless of your beliefs, on a psychosomatic level. And I think that it's understandable that some of our earliest ancestors' first spiritually significant sites and places of worship were *caves!*
Wow... Jill is incredible. Her story just goes to show how when you truly care and are passionate about something for the right reasons, loving and respecting the earth, wonderful things happen. Its like mother earth wanted her to explore that icerberg cave
This episode hits close for me. Being a woman in construction I can relate SO much to some of the experiences Jill has had. The number of times the men around me assume I'm an Admin and ask for reports but then are surprised to find out I'm actually a Detailer (Drafter) gets kind of old. I'm the only female detailer at my branch and the only girl on most projects and in meetings too. Thank you both for showcasing such a badass inspirational woman! And thank you Jill for this interview! ❤ This one meant a lot.
The reason men assume that your an admin is that 99.9% of the women in the USA does not have an interest in what you do. That is nothing bad against them or you but it is a FACT that you should consider when complaining.
@@theamerican8337 Shes the one complaining btw.. and couldnt even give a good example of the hardship she faced! As the only black guy in his area of Australia my dad gets asked if he sells weed all the time.. it mau be annoying but he doesnt write books about how its some intnse form of oppression. He could call his book 'Racism in the drug game' lmao
OMG… thank you guys!! I just saw my shoutout. 🥰 Appreciate you and your channel so very much. It brought me back to diving after 21 years away at a time where the pandemic was really bringing me down. Thank you again.
This is the first time I'm hearing about and from Jill. Her perspective as an artist and professional who collaborates with scientists is so fresh and welcome as someone who comes from the art world.
Went to listen to Jill’s speech at UVIC last week. Amazing how she was diving inside an iceberg when she was my age, makes me super motivated! One of the few remaining true explorers of the current era.
Such a wise and insightful trio, I don't even dive and I come away from all of your videos with new life lessons and ways of thinking. And to her, hats off. Amazing insight and what a way to describe her experience! Thank you for the opportunity to hear you all speak and think.
This is one of the coolest interviews I’ve seen. There is something about her charisma and the genuineness of her personality is infectious. My face literally hurts from smiling so much, while watching her explain everything. Amazing interview!!!!
When this channel blows up and gets huge, please don't forget the little guys that were here from the beginning. We love you and we love the videos, have a great weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!
@@TeamSteve222 they are saying that when this channel gets bigger and more popular don’t forget the people who were here watching and supporting you at the beginning. Cause a lot of people who get popular tend to forget where they came from.
I'm really glad you were able to interview Jill. I watched this with my teenage daughter and I'm constantly telling her the only limitations you have in life are the ones you set for yourself. Of course Jill is another inspiration for my daughter and hopefully other young people as they become aware of what life has to offer them and their ability to move forward. Thanks ✌️
This woman is absolutely amazing, thank you Gus and Woody for bringing her to the channel and asking the important and truly interesting things! Such inspiration, and such a great opportunity for us, viewers to get to know her better :)
This video put a big smile on my face, great job boys. Jill is amazing. She reminds me of my marine biology teacher from high school, so good at verbalizing the beauty and importance of the underwater world in a captivating way. Thanks to my teacher Mrs. Kott for sparking my interest in the ocean & diving. Thanks to Jill for all her amazing contributions to science and the diving community. Thank you Gus & Woody for this channel, everything Jill said at the end is true. You're doing the same thing for others that my teacher did for me. That's the awesome.
Wow. Jill is AMAZING. She could sell water to a mermaid and all of her word choices made me wanna learn to cave dive (quite a feat considering my paralyzing fear of open water for the past 20 years). By far the BEST interview! Thanks, Gus & Woody :-)
Man is she humble yet massively well achieved! She could’ve been much cockier and had a decent reason to be but yet her outlook and positivity I think is what has brought her so much success. She doesn’t want to make it off of other ppls backs she wants to pave her own way. Very admirable.
Love how you guys brought in the surprise guest! Inspired by your interview with Jill, not just her down-to-earth expertise but the great conversation you had with a colleague. You covered the many facets of her career in an entertaining and insightful way! Great video!
Absolutely AMAZING WOMAN. Listening to her inspired me....AGAIN! Thanks guys for this incredible, uplifting video from this accomplished Human being. Made my day! 👍❤✌
Thank you Guy's 😊 In my opinion Jill and people like you and Woody are the true leaders of the world. You all share your knowledge without asking for anything in return and truly care about the safety of strangers. We all should strive to help each other and the world" would be better for it.
What an honor to be able to talk to Jill. I want to be cave diver trained but unfortunately my financial situation doesn’t allow me to. After watching you guys interview Jill I’m more inspired to make it my life. All I do is do research on how it’s done and how everything works. Cheers to Gus and Woody for the best dive channel on TH-cam!
Wow. Jill is such a beautiful person, and so interesting and inspiring to listen to especially as a woman who's also passionate about male-dominated outdoor sports. Thanks for having her on :) and thank you Jill ❤
Wow! What an inspirational person! She is so AMAZING! Been watching her videos of deco basics in the past. Never knew she was THIS much of a LEGEND! Thanks for setting this up Gus!! Made my (diving) day even better!
This is my third time watching this video and it still gives me goosebumps! Jill is incredible, both Gus and Woody are incredible, and this channel is incredible! I love how educational and humble you all are and it's always a treat seeing Woody's face when you surprise him. Absolute wonderful work, guys! Please don't ever stop making these videos!
I can't believe I literally just finished reading her book today and I get home to see you guys interviewing her. So crazy! What an amazing woman and a really great book, too!
Thank you for having this amazing lady on your channel, I coukd listen to her for hours, I have been obsessed with nature since I was knee high to a grasshopper and admire these wonderful people that go places I never could, allowing me to see the wonders of this incredible planet we are priveleged to live on.
As an engineering student with a concentration in robotics and AI, this video was super interesting to me. That autonomous mapping robot seems like such a fun project to work on!
She is unreal....what a legend no doubt and such a great example for all. You guys better try to find a day or two to dive together in the future. You guys would have a blast together. Keep on Divin!
Amazing woman, really good interview...I was spellbound the whole time. You guys are doing great things for your community by putting examples like Jill front and center!
@DIVETALK Hello gentlemen what would you think of a submersible vr system? Something that could be put in a pool for training and have interactive obstacles to recreate tons of scenarios. If interested reply would love to get feedback.
Great video!!! I love how enthusiastic and genuinely awed she was about diving. What an amazing person! I agree with you Woody, she really brings great positive energy into diving, and really inspires the rest of us to see the wonders of the earth, both divers and non-divers alike! Thanks for the great video 😌👏 Ps: I love Woody’s smile whenever he’s talking to someone he admires 🤗 it really brightens my whole day
I know your question "why does she feel she has to talk about being a "woman" in cave diving?" was genuine and it's tough to explain to men how ostracizing it feels in industries that are predominately male lead (STEM for one). Fighting for fair treatment is just part of the reality when you are the only woman around, and that sometimes means you can't make mistakes and have to be hyper aware of how your attitudes are being interpreted, or else you may get pushed aside. This is why the gender discussion is so important and by Jil saying how she feels in a male dominated industry in a very public interview, she is able to contribute to better equality.
I remember mentioning Jill in one of your livestream events as one of the pioneers and Gus picking up on it. I never imagined you would have her on but am really happy you did. She is such an inspiring person, kudos to you for putting it together.
I love that you guys have chosen to feature another female cave diver! This is great representation and I look forward to seeing more features in the future
This was great journalism, truly an inspirational interview. I love the meaningful thoughtful questions. Well done Gus and Woody! I can’t wait to see more like this.
Listening to Jill talk so passionately about diving and about what it meant to her... Wow that was powerful. I felt moved listening to her, that was beautiful.
What an excellent video, fellas! Thank you, Jill, for all that you do to advance humanity’s knowledge of this astonishing planet, and for inspiring a new generation of intrepid young explorers and scientists. I’m just in awe that your work has implications ranging from terrestrial geology to abiogenesis to astrobiology on exoplanets! What an absolute LEGEND!
ok so......i cant even snorkle. i have nothing more to say than this Amazing Woman needs a great big thank you from us all, i have never seen anything so inspiring in my 40sum years. Jill, Your photography and mapping work is an amazing contribution to the rest of society who will never even come close to getting to see these amazing places and things without you. just awesome.
You guys have inspired me to want to dive over the past 6 months or so and I never expected that I'd ever get a chance or even decide to take the step to go get certified but watching you three get so excited talking about this has inspired me to find a place to get my certification and I've found a place that seems rather affordable I want to thank you woody and Gus for showing me something I've never thought of doing and cause such passion within myself it's a beautiful hobby and I can't wait to join all of you wonderful people in the water
I am not a diver but I love your videos and learning about it! :) Thank you for featuring this amazing woman! Also, Woody- Love the beanie-I just looked at the merch store for the first time because of it and I had NO idea you guys had so many choices for dive talk stuff and they are all awesome I can hardly choose what to get!
Gus and Eddie's skills as interviews cannot be over stated. I mean just their active listening elevates the content. But the questions they ask and the way they ask them is always so wonderful. I think interviewers in all fields can look at this and appreciate it as a great example of pure journalism.
Amazing video and interview! I had no idea who Jill was but over the course of this video she’s become one of my heroes. As always, great work gentlemen! Thank you so much 😊
I went to college for music composition. In the composition program, it was all guys except for me and one other student. One day our composition professor started talking about women in composing and it threw me off when I realized what he was talking about and was confused at first because why would he talk about female composers? That's kinda weird. and then it clicked. I never realized I was a "female composer" until that moment. And that was him proving that despite us always hearing about the male composers which dominate the composing landscape, there are still plenty of well-known and great female composers... even though I never even thought of it that way. In my mind I was just a composer. Anyway, carry on.
This woman is the real definition of a boss! She’s incredibly impressive yet humble. I’m in awe because I don’t have the ability to control my emotions especially with my severe claustrophobia. What a great interview!
I had a dream about swimming through a super narrow ice berg cave as a kid, thought it was nuts when I woke up, and now here is this lovely lady doing it 🤯
As a person who has never been a diver, I learned so much from listening, and have been highly entertained. Great work guys! Awesome Awesome and interesting content.
I’m so so glad I found this channel! Not only are you both fantastic hosts and provide wonderful insight into a niche world, but you also introduce us to such fantastic divers such as Jill. She’s my new hero and I cannot wait for her documentary and will be ordering her book ASAP!
Gus and Woody this was an epic interview!! I just want to pour her coffee to be able to see her in action and hear her stories!! Gus I will never play poker with you because you surprised Woody again lol. I literally jumped in my seat when I saw Jill appear! That’s 🍌 Gus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was one of my favorite videos of yours (btw I love all of your videos and have learned so much from them that I can apply to my own diving scenarios). I love the way Jill talks about the water and the industry. I am also writing a paper on gender and video games, and I think what she says is PERFECT for me to use, and current! Thank you for sharing!!!! What a gem!
I just want to say that I love when Gus surprises Woody. It's like, I know what's coming and I just wait to see the joy on his face, it's adorable. You guys are great!
So I completed my first open water dive while I was on vacation and I have to say it was an amazing, beautiful and liberating experience now I want to get PADI Certified. Thanks again Woody and Gus for the inspiration.
Together we are stronger, separation creates fear, Amazing an positive human Jill is...she has a beautiful message so very inspiring.... Thanks for sharing your life with us Jill...I an being a person who isn't afraid to try new an innovative ideas... Gus & Woody I am grateful to have found your channel... ✌🏼💗😊❣️
The technology is so fascinating. I think it's crazy that there are divers who would resist it! I have to imagine it's much safer to map caves for the first time using a rover. I mean, I can't imagine that everyone has access to this technology but I would expect everyone to be chomping at the bit for an opportunity to play with such cool toys!
You know as an instructor I can honestly say over the years, divers really do have the most fun and are the "happiest". Every single dive, when done properly, is an experience and privilege most people are completely oblivious to and that makes it both rewarding but also humbling and seeing how this lady acts with all her accolades you can tell just by looking in her eyes she doesn't take the stance of im better than you. That's truly what this world needs is being humble to those less skilled but not limiting them to be below you but pushing them to be past you. Need more people like you and for the female demographics, I hope you find the platform to do so. I love teaching everyone dont get me wrong but I take more pride when teaching women and daughters as I know and have seen other schools steering away just because the gender. Gender means nothing.. skills, drive, determination and being humble is everything, want a example.. here is the perfect one. Loved the interview and I was just as much in awe haha gus you got me too with the reveal =) great jobs guys all the best !
My mom lived of the east coast of Newfoundland as a child and she had stories about going caving in icebergs. I didn't believe her but, some guy's I worked with from the area did the same, but, they wouldn't go in far, mom called them pussies. Hats off to those that do these incredible things and, keep safe out there. Cheers from Canada.
Very cool apex professional in the industry. So interesting and engaging. What a joy to hear the guest more than the host. Great questions too Love you guys and the channel.

Just like me....I sign this statement!
I've dived, and I've been to some amazing caves, but this is as close to cave diving as I am willing to go. Great respect to these guys!
Very well said!
I have never heard of Jill before this video and now I can’t wait to have my daughter watch this.
Awe...awesome!
Jill is an amazing human being. One of a kind. Also....can we talk about that beanie?!
Why talk about it when you can own it? shopdivetalk.com

Super inspirational! The fact that she left her office job because she wanted to be outdoors, really hits a nerve w/ me. Great interview guys!
Same here. She's so inspiring while still humble

Fighting for fair treatment is just part of the reality when you are the only woman around, and that sometimes means you can't make mistakes and have to be hyper aware of how your attitudes are being interpreted, or else you may get pushed aside. This is why the gender discussion is so important and by Jil saying how she feels in a male dominated industry in a very public interview, she is able to contribute to better equality.
Thank you for bringing Jill on your Channel! Very inspirational!
I remember mentioning Jill in one of your livestream events as one of the pioneers and Gus picking up on it. I never imagined you would have her on but am really happy you did. She is such an inspiring person, kudos to you for putting it together.
Thank you!
What an amazing woman… Her word were so inspiring..Her humility, and her wonder a what she is so privileged to do is so perfect…
I love that you guys have chosen to feature another female cave diver! This is great representation and I look forward to seeing more features in the future
Amazing guest speaker. Thanks for setting up this interview!
This was great journalism, truly an inspirational interview. I love the meaningful thoughtful questions. Well done Gus and Woody! I can’t wait to see more like this.
Listening to Jill talk so passionately about diving and about what it meant to her... Wow that was powerful. I felt moved listening to her, that was beautiful.
What an excellent video, fellas! Thank you, Jill, for all that you do to advance humanity’s knowledge of this astonishing planet, and for inspiring a new generation of intrepid young explorers and scientists. I’m just in awe that your work has implications ranging from terrestrial geology to abiogenesis to astrobiology on exoplanets! What an absolute LEGEND!
Glad you enjoyed it!
ok so......i cant even snorkle. i have nothing more to say than this Amazing Woman needs a great big thank you from us all, i have never seen anything so inspiring in my 40sum years. Jill, Your photography and mapping work is an amazing contribution to the rest of society who will never even come close to getting to see these amazing places and things without you. just awesome.
You guys have inspired me to want to dive over the past 6 months or so and I never expected that I'd ever get a chance or even decide to take the step to go get certified but watching you three get so excited talking about this has inspired me to find a place to get my certification and I've found a place that seems rather affordable I want to thank you woody and Gus for showing me something I've never thought of doing and cause such passion within myself it's a beautiful hobby and I can't wait to join all of you wonderful people in the water
WOW! What an amazing person! So articulate and well spoken and driven. Great video 👍 interview
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am not a diver but I love your videos and learning about it! :) Thank you for featuring this amazing woman!
Also, Woody- Love the beanie-I just looked at the merch store for the first time because of it and I had NO idea you guys had so many choices for dive talk stuff and they are all awesome I can hardly choose what to get!
Your PASSION is so lovely to watch!
Excellent episode guys!! By the way, the book is amazing. A really honest chronicle of Jill's experiences, both ups and downs.
Gus and Eddie's skills as interviews cannot be over stated. I mean just their active listening elevates the content. But the questions they ask and the way they ask them is always so wonderful. I think interviewers in all fields can look at this and appreciate it as a great example of pure journalism.
Amazing video and interview! I had no idea who Jill was but over the course of this video she’s become one of my heroes. As always, great work gentlemen! Thank you so much 😊
What a great interview! Thanks Jill and God bless!
I went to college for music composition. In the composition program, it was all guys except for me and one other student. One day our composition professor started talking about women in composing and it threw me off when I realized what he was talking about and was confused at first because why would he talk about female composers? That's kinda weird. and then it clicked. I never realized I was a "female composer" until that moment. And that was him proving that despite us always hearing about the male composers which dominate the composing landscape, there are still plenty of well-known and great female composers... even though I never even thought of it that way. In my mind I was just a composer. Anyway, carry on.
She is a legend love her positive attitude and joy!
She is a legend of cave diving and I hope in the future you do a reaction of Ben's vortex. It was a very good documentary.
Jill! OMG. You guys are so encompassing, encouraging, frequently perfectly sarcastic & funny, always informative. Thank you!
Dive talk with breakfast as usual, you guys should sell dive talk coffee cups!
They're coming Oct.14th!
This woman is the real definition of a boss! She’s incredibly impressive yet humble. I’m in awe because I don’t have the ability to control my emotions especially with my severe claustrophobia. What a great interview!
I had a dream about swimming through a super narrow ice berg cave as a kid, thought it was nuts when I woke up, and now here is this lovely lady doing it 🤯
Where some see danger, others see opportunity. Makes the world that we live in a much better place. This lady has unbelievable courage and strength.
As a person who has never been a diver, I learned so much from listening, and have been highly entertained. Great work guys! Awesome Awesome and interesting content.
I’m so so glad I found this channel! Not only are you both fantastic hosts and provide wonderful insight into a niche world, but you also introduce us to such fantastic divers such as Jill. She’s my new hero and I cannot wait for her documentary and will be ordering her book ASAP!
Gus and Woody this was an epic interview!! I just want to pour her coffee to be able to see her in action and hear her stories!! Gus I will never play poker with you because you surprised Woody again lol. I literally jumped in my seat when I saw Jill appear! That’s 🍌 Gus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!
I also was caught totally off guard. I smiled through the whole interview. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😲😀
Just amazing again guys, actually getting Jill on was an amazing thing to watch and listen to to her point of view thanks again guys
Jill’s interview makes me think she’s kind of like the Amelia Earhart of cave diving. A real trailblazer for women.
Just as long as she doesn't end up as crab food the way Earhart did.
I love her. She is really amazing. Not even 'just' as a diver but what a bright positive person she is. Wow.🙏❤️
This was one of my favorite videos of yours (btw I love all of your videos and have learned so much from them that I can apply to my own diving scenarios). I love the way Jill talks about the water and the industry. I am also writing a paper on gender and video games, and I think what she says is PERFECT for me to use, and current! Thank you for sharing!!!! What a gem!
I just want to say that I love when Gus surprises Woody. It's like, I know what's coming and I just wait to see the joy on his face, it's adorable. You guys are great!
This is such an amazing interview, your channel is so fantastic and you all have the best chemistry!!
Oh my, this woman is so amazing - so inspirational! Please bring/talk about more women like her
I'm claustrophobic and also afraid of deep water but this woman makes me want to learn diving
Love Jill. Excellent, personally autographed, writer and great life.
I’ve been waiting for you guys to talk about Jill Heinerth! Her memoir is what sparked my interest in cave diving
Jill is an AMAZING woman and she really inspired me after listening to her !
So I completed my first open water dive while I was on vacation and I have to say it was an amazing, beautiful and liberating experience now I want to get PADI Certified. Thanks again Woody and Gus for the inspiration.
Woohoo! Love it!!!
Together we are stronger, separation creates fear,
Amazing an positive human Jill is...she has a beautiful message so very inspiring.... Thanks for sharing your life with us Jill...I an being a person who isn't afraid to try new an innovative ideas... Gus & Woody I am grateful to have found your channel... ✌🏼💗😊❣️
The technology is so fascinating. I think it's crazy that there are divers who would resist it! I have to imagine it's much safer to map caves for the first time using a rover. I mean, I can't imagine that everyone has access to this technology but I would expect everyone to be chomping at the bit for an opportunity to play with such cool toys!
You know as an instructor I can honestly say over the years, divers really do have the most fun and are the "happiest". Every single dive, when done properly, is an experience and privilege most people are completely oblivious to and that makes it both rewarding but also humbling and seeing how this lady acts with all her accolades you can tell just by looking in her eyes she doesn't take the stance of im better than you. That's truly what this world needs is being humble to those less skilled but not limiting them to be below you but pushing them to be past you.
Need more people like you and for the female demographics, I hope you find the platform to do so. I love teaching everyone dont get me wrong but I take more pride when teaching women and daughters as I know and have seen other schools steering away just because the gender. Gender means nothing.. skills, drive, determination and being humble is everything, want a example.. here is the perfect one.
Loved the interview and I was just as much in awe haha gus you got me too with the reveal =) great jobs guys all the best !
My mom lived of the east coast of Newfoundland as a child and she had stories about going caving in icebergs. I didn't believe her but, some guy's I worked with from the area did the same, but, they wouldn't go in far, mom called them pussies. Hats off to those that do these incredible things and, keep safe out there. Cheers from Canada.
They did it again, amazing that they could interview Jill!!!
Very cool apex professional in the industry. So interesting and engaging. What a joy to hear the guest more than the host. Great questions too Love you guys and the channel.
I've watched this interview so many times. Jill is so inspirational & so humble despite all her achievements. Definitely one of my heroes 💪🏽
