I can see why silting disheveled them completely. Saltwater rarely involves severe silt kickups no matter how much of a poor finner you are. But even a small mistake in your finning technique can completely obscure your vision in overhead environments especially on the way back since the silt kickups occur on your behind and while you keep gliding forward the water behind you has gotten entirely opaque with you having no idea. By the time you turn back you'll see this muddy and particulate filled water all around you which can easily put hardcore divemasters to sheer panic mode. They definitely had no idea about how different and technical cave diving is compared to open water.

This is an excellent video. Clear pictures of how the cave setup was, great animation of where the divers were. This was the most understandable cave diving video I've seen.

Thanks, will do!

This was in 1973. In 1979, I was doing 120 foot touch and go's as an Air Force Combat Controller as part of Pre-SCUBA it was called. We had to go 10 miles out to sea from Key Largo to get down to 120'+ given the shallow slope of the Continental Shelf there. We always did Decompression Dives with 2 or more large steel tanks. Would leave extra tanks at certain intervals for decompressing. When I got out of the military, I had to get my PADI Certification, to fill tanks with air, and was surprised they only taught no-decompression dives at the time. 63 years old now! Made it to PADI Rescue Diver and dove Cenotes near Cancun and Belize but never did cave diving. Didnt have a course back then, that I was aware of.

I watch this story from another KZread channel and it’s like another story. It was hard to understand until I watch FatalBreakdown. Your presentation, narration and simulation is remarkable. Very captivating and never miss a single sec.

I watched one Nutty Putty video and the next thing I knew my front page was flooded (no pun intended) with cave-crawling and cave-diving disasters. 😢 there goes my peaceful sleeps.

Best disaster chanlel on KZread

I actually love these videos - they are the real case scenarios you're learning from in order not to repeat the same mistakes. That's how everything in the world works actually - all the developments, rules and precautions are based on someone's lethal experiences.

I Love the schematic diagrams and videos you use it- it makes it so much easier to visualise what happened!!

I just wanted to say, that you are the only KZread Channel I don't watch in 2xtimes speed. I really enjoy your videos.

I've heard about this incident before, but had no idea that the divers who got lost were such highly regarded experts... I really don't know what to make of that.

I truly believe the term "expert" is thrown around in the diving world loosely... they didn't use guide-lines and they dove too deep and far for their air supply... it's like saying an "expert" skydiver died because he jumped with no parachute...

Why? Any expert could make a mistake. Being good at something doesn’t mean you will never not make a mistake.

Hey man your channel is awesome (and I like your voice!) The only thing I would ask you to consider is expanding your topic-base to more than just cave-exploration. For example, I loved your episode about the Paraiah oil pipe incident, or the high school basketball student one. So definitely keep switching it up if you can, and then you can always separate each video into its own playlist on your channel (such as “cave disasters”, etc.). Keep it up! 👌🏼💯 Peace

You couldn’t pay me enough to go down into one of those caves to do that.

I’m amazed that the word expert is used to describe anyone involved in this disaster. They did everything wrong and they paid the ultimate price and for what? To say that they had dived down to the bottom of a big hole in the ground that’s full of water, that just doesn’t seem to be worth dying for to me.

Such an attractive dive, a 3ft entrance with a laser light beacon but dang what a tragedy.

Imagine applying for a job and compete with a 19 yo with 15 years of experience.

Seriously love you dude, keep going.

I had heard this story before but not so vividly through visual aids and reenacted animation like in this video. Very nice work.

Cave diving is something I would never, ever, even think of intending.

Your Videos are great because - You dont sound like an ai voice, your voice sounds creepy like around a campfire. - The music sounds so tense and tragic. Like a heart beat but sad. -You dont have stock footage you have diagrams and little animations to explain whats going on These stories are hard to listen to but so entertaining.

Cant drown in your bed. Thats why I dont leave my room.

Very well explained. Thank you

These videos are great because they explain in a good time what takes others a hour to explain in a video and most us dont have that much free time. With that said I feel there is no such thing as a very exp. teen as teens tend to think they are invisible and still learning reasoning /risk level skills. A common thread in these disasters is lack of good communication, where everyone is on the same page. May they rest in peace. Its got to be one of the worst ways to die.

The fact that they didnt inform the leader of the team says it all.. WHY ? This honestly says alot about their cockiness.

Your voice is perfect match narration
