The story of a great man, community member, and diver - RIP, Brett.
If he had really treasured his wife and children, he would still be alive.

I’ll never understand these people, there are so many ways you can leave this world by accident, stuck in a dark underwater cave when you didn’t have to be there is insanity!
Every single cave diver that realizes they might not make it out always wishes they could see their family 1 more time and wish they never went into the cave that’s about to kill them.
RIP Brett. So sorry that we lost you 😢

Brett didn't appreciate his life. 😎
Nothing and I mean nothing would get me to cave dive!! It sounds like a horrible way to die to me. 😢
Cave divers are the worst weekend warriors as most over estimate their expertise then expect others to risk their lives to rescue them. They violated basic rules.

Brett was not one of those guys. He had 30 years experience and even invented several pieces of diving gear. He was one of the safest cave divers there is.
I live in Cocoa Beach! Cool! I hadn't heard of this story before. I appreciate that you don't do an AI generated and AI read script. I do believe it was kind of a selfish thing to say "i don't think of my wife and kids but I'm 20,000 ft in a cave", That's what you should be thinking about to make it out alive!!

I appreciate that feedback - thanks for watching!
Trying to make it creepy isn't needed. You could just present the facts step by step how they occurred and that would be better.
“Light at the end of the tunnel” alright . . .
Dangerous life threatening hobbies are not for me. I often wonder why people risk their lives for a living. R.I.P. Bret
Rick grimes if the zombies dont come out....
7:07 "The dangers of this extreme sport cannot be understated". I think the word you need here is "overstated". So, no matter how bad the description of the danger is, the actual level of danger is equal to or worse than described and therefore the description does not exceed, or overstate, the level of danger. 🙄
I will never understand cave diving and why people do it
I’ve been an open water diver for years. We’re taught early that you don’t go into overhead environments without proper training and at least 2 backup systems for your guidelines and breathing gas system. Good cave divers who never violate any safety protocol, no matter how seemingly unimportant, time consuming, and annoying, come back alive. With every cave diving fatality story on KZread, whoever is dead violated one or all of the established guidelines.

Brett violated none of them, and was one of the most experienced cave divers on the planet. He was using a rebreather and had multiple redundant breathing gas systems with him, as well as multiple lighting sources, scooters and compression habitat.
In reality he was extremely selfish.

Who wrote this garbage.
