I really appreciate you guys going into depth on this video. I myself have the role of videographer on the team but with a background in lifeguarding i am naturally concerned about the safety of those in the water- before this video i have already been researching more information on dive technicals and safety and want to be able to react topside to the best of my ability. I was pleasantly surprised to see doug come in the screen at the end and am glad you guys were able to connect face to face. Although our team gets results we do not pretend to be experts in diving and are all eager to learn and perfect our skills. I am working on a “Dougs Redemption Dive” Bts from that 100 ft boat recovery with the DB. Hope you see improvements in Doug. He is fearless and although inspiring is nerve wrecking when i’m topside filming. -Josh p.s. your video shoutouts to me where hilarious. Glad i could ask the right questions.

Just try to keep your team safe man. This kind of stuff shouldn't happen in these uncontrollable environments. Practice makes perfect, practice in a lake at 100ft isn't practice at all. It's an accident or death waiting to happen. I appreciate you asking the right questions. I love you guys, and want to see you around more often for years to come. I don't want to see a video of a recovery of one of your team over lack of training. 👊

All the agencies offer both a CPR and a Emergency Oxygen provider course. You don't have to dive for those classes. Being topside and ready to respond is a great thing. I worked with a dive master who would stay topside and had a stopwatch for each diver/buddy team. So he could monitor on the serface an estimate of the dive plan.

It would explain why he lumps all instructors together as "egocentric" because god forbid his imaginary expertise in everything is ever questioned or challenged, and it's pretty ironic that him being the definition of egocentric is what's causing him to think those with actual expertise are ones being egocentric. It just goes to show that no matter how much training is made available or how important it actually is, there will always be idiots like this who think they don't need it until they end up killing themselves or somebody else because of it. They're both extremely lucky that Doug survived through this and it's just sad (and scary) that neither one of them have the slightest clue why.

The problem with confirmation bias in this situation is that when it’s disproven the results are almost always catastrophic.

I think Woody's being a little unfair. As long as Ebay sellers include manuals, new divers will be fine. It's why the expression 'sink or swim' entered common usage. Ok, so I was cringing during the briefing. Waaay too many 'firsts' for a relatively novice diver. When I got my full-face mask, I read bunch of reviews first, talked to other divers, bought the mask, read the manual, and then did the certification. I'm still alive. I became confident with my new toy, my buddies know I'm less likely to become an emergency situation for them to deal with. (Oh, and recommendation for some dubious diving.. Discovery's 'Blind Frog Ranch' show. It's an alternate-reality TV series that includes some cave diving.)

@@MultiZoobie I think it’s similar to the whole “you don’t know what you don’t know”. From my understanding the camera guy isn’t a diver, he’s just around a lot of divers. Jared doesn’t know what he doesn’t know, whereas the cameraman knows that he himself doesn’t know. So he would defer to Jared purely because Jared knows more. He asked great questions, but I think they were genuinely questions not hints at “I don’t think this is safe”. He asked if it was safe, and Jared said that it was, and the cameraman trusted him because he’s the authority figure and he spoke (incorrectly) but with confidence. It’s not fair to put this on the camera man, the fact that he even noticed it was dangerous was fantastic and Jared was the one who the responsibility and accountability should fall on. Let’s not split blame to someone who isn’t even a diver in the first place.

This is typical Jared, DIVERT when he knows he is wrong. Let's remember Jared has only been diving for 3yrs at this point. On short, not so deep diving, with the odd deep dive here and there. Not enough experience at all to be teaching. This is why friends don't teach friends how to dive. The fact that he doesn't even understand how not to silt up the area is telling. Let me make it clear: Doug is mistaken or maybe confused about wither they had oxygen there. They may have it now, however they didn't have oxygen on that day - why I know this, I made a comment on that video regarding the fact that Doug should have been put on oxygen when he surfaced and why, and Jared had it deleted. Josh Cantu thanked me for the info, & confirmed that there was no oxygen, he said he would look into making sure that it was available for any deep dives thereafter. I even advised that they needed to be certified in administering oxygen to carry it. No person in their right mind takes a new diver who already isn't Overly familiar with the gear, suddenly surprise him with a new set up on such a deep dive - it's ludicrous. Doug hasn't even been shown how to use the shearwater & AI. No your gauge doesn't have to dangle and drag. I still dive with my shearwater & my console, with a dive gauge and secondary computer with compass. Not once have I ever done a dive where I am relying only on a computer telling me you need to do a safety stop. I already have my safety stops planned. Jared hasn't even explained to Doug how unbalanced that tank set up is going to be or how to use weights to counteract that unevenness when he is at Trim. This is also the reason why I'm not a fan of combined regulator and BCD inflator attachments. Jared should have done all the training and gear orientation in confined or shallower water, not at 100ft. The camera didn't stop recording Jared had it cut and edited out. JOSH ISN'T EVEN A DIVER & knows this isn't right. I also have a major issue with the fact that Jared had any comments from more experienced divers giving advise on what happened & what they should've done deleted and blocked those commenters - jared can't take critiques, criticisms, or redirection to better training resources. I also call BS on 144 as jared doesn't know how to dive Nitrox or mixed gasses, he only dives air !!!!! Jared had no business taking a newly certified diver to such depth. Doug is lucky to be alive.

@@rebeccafantstegall1899 I believe that what hotmoon was referring to was the letter that Jared wrote in the video. Dive Talk invited Jared to come on to the show and discuss why it is important to have certifications and standards for teaching. Jared wrote a note back saying that he didn't really care that there were certifications he wasn't planning on getting them. In my honest opinion, Jared's letter contained the same tone that he condemned himself. He states that companies he has worked for contain a very ego-centric individual, yet in the same letter he brazenly states that he is going to do things his on way because "there are no dive police that are going to put us in scuba jail." I take that as he is openly flaunting that he will not follow any standards that have been set by the dive community because there is no one that can force him to do so. Basically he is saying that he is going to do whatever he wants simply because he can. While that is all good and well if you are only going to do things yourself, he is teaching and imparting his knowledge (which appears to be very flawed in numerous ways) to someone else who trusts him, or worse, is employed by him and may not have the authority to tell him no.

I nearly drowned on my very last open water certification dive. Only reason I did not panic was because of my instructor's exceptionally good training. We were doing our final test at passing over our regulators for buddy breathing. We were also doing it with no masks. The idea being you'd been hit in the face and lost your mask and reg. So I was blind and my instructor gave me the signal to spit out my reg by tapping me on the shoulder. My buddy then grabbed my held out his reg. We done the pass off a thousand times. So I reached out, grabbed it and put it in my mouth. The problem? My buddy had given it to me upside down. Most of my first breath was water. Only reason I didn't panic was because my instructor had told us that was a possible problem we could have. So I stayed calm used what air I had sucked in to cough, and flipped the reg over. Took me a minute to get all the water out of my lungs, but I did it. My instructor told me later he was two seconds from pulling my weights and sending us up. We were about thirty to forty feet down at the time. Either way, TRAINING. IS. EVERYTHING! And an instructor with a thousand or several thousands of dives under his belt helps too. His name is Greg Haywood and is a PADI certified instructor. Potential for the Dive Talks crew to know of him.

I didn't really panic but after 3 tries I felt I just had to bolt to the surface. We were only about 15 feet deep. Then I took the regulator on the surface, looked at it, learned which way is the correct way, and did it right on my fourth try. I don't think I will ever forget that lesson :).

If your instructor told you that was a potential problem they probably had him give it to you upside down on purpose. In any case if you inhale a bunch of water doesn't your body start violently coughing ? Like when you take a drink and some goes down your air pipe accidentally ? Seems like water down the wrong pipe would be an instant death sentence underwater because you'd cough and more water would come in , causing more coughing . You'd die really quick. No?

@chetwalther-ep9zb I got like half a breath of water. I knew what had happened pretty much instantly. So yeah, I was trying to cough. Think of it like holding in a very irritating sneeze. I just had to have enough awareness to flip my reg, hold it in my mouth, then cough, so I inhaled air instead of more water. It wasn't fun. My instructor did everything exactly as he said he would to everyone else. He wasn't the type to surprise people. Plus we were 30 feet under. An accident there would have been serious.

The problem with the I learn from experience approach is you don’t know what you don’t know. Training classes tune you into problems before they happen not after. Thanks for all the discussion, critique of failures is important as a learning resource.

Woody, please stop apologizing for stopping and providing your critique! That's why we watch your videos! You and Gus are super entertaining, but primarily we come here for the excellent education.Thx for your dedication to safe diving!

Safety rules are written in blood. I love AWP and the work that they do is beyond reproach. The comfort and closure that they bring victims’ families is unparalleled. I can also understand that hands on experience is often more valuable than a certification - I deal with this on a daily basis at my own job. BUT trying to teach a diver several new skills at once without going into the reasoning and function of how and why they’re performed a certain way is a disaster waiting to happen. Doug is a competent diver and no doubt Jared cares about his safety and trusts Doug’s judgement, but clearly this went badly. Clearly both men bit off more than they could chew. Super grateful for both men and their families that this was just a mildly embarrassing incident rather than a tragedy. Confidence can kill. Hopefully they *really* learned from this.

Btw, good training is about “hands on experience”

Watching this again, I'm realising how good woody is at pre-empting what students might struggle with or not understand. Woody is very passionate about teaching and teaching well, and it shows!

Woody!! I love your directness. “What do you want me to say?” Watching these guys left you, a professional, speechless. It’s like you couldn’t believe your eyes lol. You don’t need to say anything, that says enough!!

I'm a NAUI Master/Rescue diver who just completed my SDI Self Reliant diver this weekend, and this hurt me to watch. I really love their channel and respect what they do, and I've emailed them before offering to dive with them. I'm also a Midwestern Great Lakes wreck diver. A dive to 100-110ft in cold water is extremely routine here, and if you do the proper training (For NAUI it'd be AOW that gets you certified to 130ft, though you don't actually go deeper than 100 until Master Diver). There's so many things wrong here. They had NO dive plan, no gas planning, probably have no clue what their SAC or RMV is to even begin gas planning. No buoyancy control, I mean this honestly when I ask if the newer diver has ever had explained to them how gas burns much much faster at depth. He panicked and obviously didn't purge that reg (or didn't do it properly) and he could have very easily died there. A LOT of people when they get that first breath of water from not purging the reg they instantly spit it out and gasp water and its all over from there. I was part of a search at a local quarry and because the person was found with no air and no reg in their mouth, we're pretty sure that's exactly what happened. He also should have accepted those gloves since he compounded the factors for deco sickness of A: a deep dive HUFFING air, B: an emergency swimming ascent, C: Being cold, D: altitude.

I had watched AWP, primarily before Sam left, so I'd not seen this video. Knowing what we know now about him, I guess I shouldn't be surprised and I'd always gotten the vibe from him that his motivation was money and his compassion poorly faked, but I was just really struck by his reaction, or lack of reaction to Doug describing his ordeal...no emotional reaction when your friend and the person you are mentoring/training says he wondered if this was how he was going to go, when he described taking a breathe that was just water, and when he says any deeper and you'd be down there looking for me right now. I felt for Doug sitting in my family room and Jared showed no concern, empathy, compassion...fear...just nothing.

That just says everything you need to know about Jared in his reaction to Doug saying these things. Dead eyes.

People like to toss the term "dunning-kruger effect" around and it often gets attached to people who are simply stupid. Jared in this video however is a perfect explanation of what Dunning-Kruger describes and the dangers inherent. He is not stupid, at all. He is over-confidant in himself. Every successful excursion leads to an increase in that over confidence. He points to a perceived ego of instructors(often accurate) while completely failing to recognize that exact same ego in himself. We are all susceptible to this on some level, my self most certainly included.

The world of diving is so unnecessarily unsafe because of guys like Jared & Doug. I hope these guys learn soon or are stopped by an actual professionally trained recovery team.

As I sat listening and reading Jared’s letter, I am reminded of the video with Edd, explaining how he retrieved those two divers from the DR. I remember Edd saying the one guy was encouraged to get certified and he said, basically, “you can’t teach me anything I don’t already know”…….and he’s dead.

oh my gosh, I just found your video after watching the AWP over the weekend and as an experienced and trained professional Diver and Medical Provider I was screaming at the TV. I felt bad because I wanted to be so excited for these guys for all they do but I have been horrified at their unfortunate and yet often un-necessary risks or oversights to safety. like the time the dove off the dock while boats were whizzing by and they had no flag up, they were not letting bypassing boats know that a diver is down. I get that the guys are doing good, but they get amped up and start rushing to get to the wreck and skip steps. getting bent doesn't always happen instantaneously, Bends can come on gradually. and why don't they have oxygen on hand? this is nuts.

I would be interested in your view of AWP now. Current events may provide some context for risks. I would be curious if other accidents have happened.

People without certifications do not understand the consequences of the risky decisions that put their lives in danger! Unbelievably terrifying!

Doug has such faith in Jared. Poor thing. I wonder if he is looking at this video now and how he is feeling.

I live in SW Georgia. My son went diving looking for arrow heads in a local river. He went down and never came back up. They found him 9 hours later in 8 ft of water. It happened Aug12th 1999 now 23 years later I still can’t get it out of my head from when I had to identify him

This was so good!! New depth: more risk, new equipment: more risk, cold water: more risk, full face mask: more risk, dry suit without training: more risk. Did I forget something? Oh, new computer: a bit more risk.

Plus, even if they did not have access to any pool for training... they could've at the least gone over the computer operations the night/days before this dive so he knew 100% how to read it, the main features, etc. Not saying he would/should know the deco model that computer uses or details like that, but he could and should know how to use and read that computer before he even touches water. Esp with no backup pressure gauge

My blood pressure is get high watching this... Jared has the personal of a con artist. He pretend to be an expert of things he doesnt even know. What he is doing is so dangerous because you could lose your life instead of money if you believed him. Yes, you can learn a lot from a really life emergency, IF YOU SURVIVE! Otherwise you will just become people’s training material. Yes, you have the right to risk your own life, but with only ‘open water’ certification, he doesn't even know what he doesn't know, yet acting like an instructor. He is murdering Doug. Doug, Please STAY AWAY from Jared! he is not a friend, he is risking your life. PLEASE get some proper training, then you will know how ridiculous he is.

I hope Doug really listened to woody. He just wants him to train for his "purpose". Woodys Purpose is "Safety" and "strange hats"

My big concern for Jarad is complacency.... as a personal example I have done a lot of chainsaw work. Thousands of hours. Cutting graft sites and associated cutting in fruit orchards. This work was mostly done using little chainsaws with special low kick chains. Using this gear I have never had a saw kick, I have never had a near miss. So a few months ago one of my shelter belts dropped a tree out of it so I broke out the saw. Being my place not 'work' and it being hot as hell I didn't feel the need to put on the safety gear. So I was starting to cut and I thought that the saw I used at work had a 12 inch bar with low kick chain... and the saw I was using had an 18 inch bar and normal chain.... and more than twice the BHP.... then the saw had a little kick (I controlled it fine) and I went and put on the boots, Helmet chaps and gloves.... And I can see this crew getting into trouble in a way that you can't flick the kill switch and change your setup. The hazards of shallow diving in a river or pond are so much different to deep you would need a massive amount if self awareness to make it out alive....

Putting it as bluntly as possible, Jared should take the advice so he doesn’t become another person pulled out dead.

My ex-husband used to run out of air down deep, he would than grab my octo and suck it dry in moments. I have always sipped air but he could suck my smaller tank down to nothing in a minute,even if I still had a half tank. Then he would fly to the surface,dragging me with him. We also didn’t have computers,although I finally bought myself a rudimentary computer about 4 years after using a $10 watch and tables. I had a lot of dives (maybe 100 or more, many in Puget Sound during the winter) with him but for reasons I won’t get into here, I didn’t have any continued training,just my OW Cert, until I left him and got divorced. This video gives me flashbacks to those times. Glad they survived and glad I survived,too! I tried to read and teach myself as much as I could but this was pre-internet.

Every time I watch this one, I get a little angrier..because I keep learning more… Thanks for all the reslly good information, guys…

I was actually shocked at 16:49 when he said it's his first deep dive and a completely new system. I'm not a diver but I can't think of anything where it makes sense changing 2 things in a dangerous situation.

I am no diver, I am a software developer and every time something changes in my line of work something goes wrong. Doug is an idiot and was not honest about surfacing quickly from 30ft because he then went on to say 50-30ft so you can take a guess he surfaced quickly from around at least 70ft.

*_Kudos to the both of you for your calmness, clarity & your message on safety & training through this video._* Thank you for reviewing all this with Doug. I dated a diver in high school, which was what started me. He & i went our separate ways after i got my PADI. Didn't find out til _after_ the vows that my husband was _not_ diving-partner material. So i haven't been diving since 1980. I watched AWP for a while but stopped because Jared got on my last nerve for several reasons, & i found myself muting him through the video.. Which just became... _too much effort for benefit._ I don't see how you two guys sit through this video & have fingernails or eyelids left. Even knowing everyone ended up still breathing in the end, i had a problem watching this. The "solo" part of this had me shrieking! The dependence on coms... _I gotta go!_

Watching these guys prep was more frightening than any horror movie I’ve ever seen!😱

So appreciate this technical breakdown! As a recreational pilot, the idea of a real world emergency being seen as a “good learning experience” boggles my mind. The only ‘good’ emergency is one trained in a simulated environment. I don’t dive, but I come across people with Jared’s attitude in aviation and they are always a danger to themselves and others, but never have the perspective to see this. What you guys do in sharing the science and safety of diving is good work!

I was completely abashed when he had claimed that in the video. He could have died, and that's what made it a "good experience" to him. I agree with you, the only "good" emergency experience is when there is no emergency. The best class is the one with the least near death experiences.

I haven't ever felt that either of you guys come across as egomaniacs. If anything, Jared is coming off as an egomaniac in this video. I hope that Doug realizes that he needs to attend more classes and not rely on Jared for his diving education or safety.

@@oliverbrown2750 Woody stating "I believe there are prescribed procedures by people that were far greater than me, and we should teach these procedures and practice them so we don't die," and their concern about safety as the primary focus of their channel, contradicts your perception and statement. Woody and Gus passionately critique incidents where serious and deadly mistakes were made to help others learn, as they earnestly care about their safety. Woody mentioned he also learns from his students. And they said there are lots of other certified instructors out there, not just them, to get training from. It's the opposite of having an ego to admit you aren't trained in a particular area. Gus has qualified why he has chosen not to use and go through full face mask training at this point, which is not necessary to dive proficiently. Both of them are certified instructors in multiple skills and have a lot of experience.

so cool he come on here. A boy would be scared to admit mistakes in public, a man knows that others can learn from it and it will garner him respect.

Honestly, a huge take away for me with this Dive Talk video I NEVER EVEN KNEW that there were SO MANY dive classes. Before this channel, I thought there were only like 3 or 4 classes total. Awesome knowledge!

Wow, this is the best example of someone at the starting portion of the "Dunning-Krueger Effect" I've ever seen. It's almost like they know if they go through the proper channels and begin to get certified it might expose the fact that they are indeed not the perfect divers they want to show themselves as. And it might break the characters they have formed on their channel despite what good things they do for families. What a teenage mindset to have about such a dangerous activity! Glad you guys chimed in on this one and I agree with everything you said. These regulations and classes are there for a reason.

@@alphasheep99 It seems you didn't actually watch the whole video, as it contradicts your statements. Doug has not been doing this very long and stated that himself, while also confirming he has a lot to learn and could use further training - refer to 131:55. And it's also very clear Jared thought Doug needed further training, as he was trying to instruct him on multiple new skills, himself. He pushed way too many new things on him all at once, and didn't remain by his side. That reinforces the other commenter's concept about how, at least Jared, expected nothing would go wrong in this case. Woody and Gus don't advocate training for the sake of obtaining certifications, but for safety. As it was said, you don't have to take the certification card afterwards. And while they said they'd really like to train with AWP as they respect what they do, they also said there are a lot of other certified instructors out there besides them, just get the training somewhere. They passionately critique incidents where serious and deadly mistakes were made to help others learn from them. "I believe there are prescribed procedures by people that were far greater than me, and we should teach these procedures and practice them so we don't die." What a crazy idea! Even Doug said this very close call of his was "very scary," and had he been any deeper, he would've needed to go to the hospital, if he actually made it back up. "I got a get out of jail free card on this one." He often referred back to his previous formal training. Lots of other commenters here who are seasoned divers and instructors agreed with the critique of this incident. You really dont need to be a diver or instructor to understand how badly this all went and recognize the repeated theme of training for SAFETY, which is what these guys at Dive Talk are all about. The AWP crew is of no help to anyone if they're injured or worse.

0% chance I would dive with these guys.... under any circumstances.
