Uh oh, I knew this react video was coming eventually 😅. Thanks guys the video was great, I really enjoyed it and I appreciate the info and experience you guys bring to the audience. I am always up for learning if you want to collaborate sometime on a vid!!! To clarify a few things, the water at this location was drained for work on a nearby state park. Once finished they raised the water slowly, about an inch or 2 per day. So it was rising, just not fast enough to be dangerous for us. The cave has pretty good ventilation and we were never in an entrapped area so hypoxia was not really a concern. There are a few more things I would love to share with you about this spot, it sounds like a cave you would enjoy! Thanks again Woody and Gus

If they see you are passionate about diving, they will be constantly pushing you to improve and grow as a diver. I'm still in single digit number of dives, and there's already talks about dry suit, because otherwise I couldn't be diving once it gets colder. And I wouldn't want that now, would I...

Me with surfing lol, being very reckless, Yet scared of getting stuck in a cave again (and I wasn't actually stuck, I just panicked out of no where, terrible time to suddenly become afraid of tight spaces) I grew up in the Outer Banks of NC, and just like on the Netflix show, we surf when a hurricane is coming in...which is beyond dumb and irresponsible but such a blast. I've free dived at night plenty of times in many places, Hawaii and New Zealand are the best, and surfed as the sun was coming up, and setting. I was never afraid of sharks 🦈...Ive seen them, but they always kept their distance...but some of those dumb things I did led me to getting pinned to a reef or sand bar, or broke my board and I was out far, even dislocated my shoulder out there...how the hell I never drowned is beyond me.

As a dry caver (I imagine there are many viewers that are dry cavers), I would like to point out that national speleological society guidelines definitely stress wearing a helmet with a head mounted light. It’s the first piece of gear. Bang your bare head once on that ceiling and you could be knocked out and/or severely injured. Also, there is a checklist of things to be carried in case you need it. Any local chapter of the NSS (called a grotto or caving club) will teach how to “cave softly” and greatly minimize danger.

When Woody explains how they rappel and ascend out of caves Gus: “ (deep inhale).. That sounds horrific” 😂

The reason you don't want your snorkel in your mouth while freediving is in the event of a shallow water blackout, the snorkel provides a direct path to your airways for water come rushing in if you blackout. The snorkel being in the mouth also makes it hard for the rescue diver to close the victim's mouth to keep water out when swimming the SWB victim to the surface (you close person's mouth and pinch their nose with one of your hands until you get them to the surface when performing a rescue).

23:49 I might be wrong. But when I've free dived in the past, I quickly learned that keeping the snorkel in your mouth gives water a perfect route into your mouth and down your throat which is an unnecessary distraction you simply don't need. You can use the back of your tongue to seal your throat in order to stop this from happening, but it's just better to avoid it altogether. I'm not sure about all the co2 stuff you guys mentioned though, although it's completely plausible. For those who want some more info: If you pass out under water for whatever reason, your jaw will (in most cases) close in order to prevent you from drowning. If you have a snorkel in your mouth, it effectively acts as a funnel to direct water down your throat which will cause you to drown alongside already having fainted.

You don't sound wrong. The jaw is stronger than the tongue and has more endurance. Almost always, the strongest muscle available to do the work is the one that should.

I would pay money to watch Gus go caving or really do anything out of his comfort zone. His reactions are absolute gold. I’ve also never dived a day in my life but love this channel.

That freediving inside a cave seems way more scary than just scuba diving it.

It would be great if you guys did a cross over with Joe Oceanside getting cave trained with Dive Talk documenting it, focusing on each lesson and its importance. This can bring light to the audience the amount of training, safety and new set of skills required to become a certified cave diver.

I enjoy you guys discussing the how cave diving accidents happen. As a pilot I have noticed a lot of cave diving tragedies follow the same “Swiss cheese model” that aircraft accidents follow. It’s very interesting, once you neglect a tiny rule or fail to follow certain guidelines small mistakes can snowball into life ending tragedy’s

I don’t think I agree with your interpretation of the Swiss cheese model. It’s used in healthcare as well, and in healthcare it’s point is to emphasize the need for a lack of a single failure point. Let’s say I’m stupid and fat finger (typo) a paralytic order for a patient that isn’t intubated. I get a warning from the electronic medical order. The pharmacist should catch it before it goes to the nurse. The nurse should catch it on their own. The bottle itself has a warning printed on top where the medication is pulled from. Even if it somehow gets to the patient, the patient should be monitored so the monitor would secrecy the lack of breathing. So for an error to kill a patient it has to get through each of those points of protection. Only if there’s a hole at each level will it mean it reaches the patient. If it gets even part way, a root cause analysis focuses both on how to put up additional slices of cheese (hopefully so that it gets caught) and closing up the holes that the error was able to get through.

Though in reality they just weaponized fear of the regular flu during an already expected and warned about, on every local news station... A very very bad upcoming flu season. They knew it was going to be bad. They called it something else, implemented horrible response, including closing hospitals and improper use of breathing machines which were exploding lungs, causing more deaths which hospitals turned a blind eye and labeled covid as they got an extra $20-35,000 for every case. This was done everywhere, giving the news more covid deaths to report, causing more fear, panic and fueled hypochondriacs to believe they had it. All tests are junk science, especially the pcr test, the creator of said test, Kerri Mullis (*sp ?), died just before all this, emboldening Fauci to press on in his power play... As Mullis hated Fauci, challenging him to debate on stage repeatedly, to which Fauci continually refused out of fear. Mullis is on video stating the pcr test is not a tool to diagnose anything. Nothing. He said with enough amplification you can see anything, to the point it becomes useless. Yet Fauci allowed the protocol to be using pcr to diagnose this rebranded regular flu, even changing actual definitions of corona virus after all these things were exposed by researchers... I have a photo of the definition of the corona virus from a medical encyclopedia which states it is the flu or common cold. CDC and WHO or dept of health (I forget exactly who did this, more than once during this scam, BTW...) changed definitions of the corona virus and the definition of a vaccine to fit their narrative and planned (*event 201 exercise just before this as well!) power and control grab. Are they eugenicists? How could anyone do these things? I looked further into it... Shockingly, yes, many WEF affiliates are actually eugenicists! Holy crap! WEF is the world economic forum, it's a rich club where they train subversive agents to infiltrate countries to further their agendas. Their agendas are mostly publicly available and they meet in Davos to plan their implementations and ways to utilize and craft their propaganda, talking points and ways to basically get regular people to be indoctrinated, accept and promote these cult-like, religious doctrines. It's really messed up. Anyway, just like diving, where one mishap escalades and escalates into a very dangerous situation... These few things done by powerful decision makers, calling the shots, making up the procedures, protocols, laws, etc... Were all directed and motivated by errors, be it accidental, innocent, misinformed or highly intentional... Those at the top had their intentions and goals and their activist infiltrators had significant influence, and are all responsible for their crimes against humanity, including every grandmother and grandfather forced to die, suffering and alone. Totally preventable and unnecessary. If cruelty, power, and ideology were the motivation, Monetary gain was the bait. Everyone got their payout. To dig deeper on the massive money laundering, kickbacks, financial bribery, mafia style ideology pushing everyone to go along with the abusive crime... Search up the abnormal payments to the hospitals, equipment, etc and the very rare event of the IMF releasing a ton of SDR's (but every country is equal, they picked winners and losers in a strange method!) releasing funding that in order to be turned to cash, must be traded with another country who also got SDR's.... Else they're literally laundering money and a bunch of other financial crimes... So this was their work around... Yet the intent and spirit of this activity was clear and someone, auditors who are forensic experts, really need to deep dive this whole thing!! Few journalists even reported on this! I posted about it on Twitter, but I'm no auditing expert! I could only imagine the backdoor deals made by various nations and find it interesting that after this, the world is facing several more wars. By design? Idk but someone should chase down this IMF funding using covid as cover to manipulate global economic conditions. Wow...

My dad who started diving in the 50's and only quit when he was almost 80 years old was extremely claustrophobic. Diving never bugged him even in zero visibility doing recovery dives for the sheriffs department. He also penetrated many sunken ships.

Non-diver subscriber here! I had one of your videos in my recommendation feed & that was maybe a week ago, and I'm now a subscriber. You guys may critique videos, but you don't come across as a bunch of pompous know-it-alls. I've literally learned more about diving in the past week watching you guys than I've learned in the past 42 years. Not that I would ever go diving for any reason, unless it's into a swimming pool, but your content is so attention grabbing. I've also seen this video before that you're showing & I wouldn't have known any better had I not found you guys. Thanks guys for showing us facts, and not just trying to bullsh*t people for views.

I would never cave dive and I would never “dry” cave dive where you repel down into one (see “The Descent” *shudder*) but this little exploration does look fun as hell. I mean, the parts before they started swimming through holes under water for long stretches lol The beginning of it I would do. Actually reminded me of a cool water park feature or something. Fun video from Joe and very informative video fromGus and Woody so thanks to all 🙏

Since I started watching your videos I've been trying to imagine what it's like being in a cave and how you could get lost so easily. This video made it VERY clear! Not something I would ever have to worry about because the second I found myself in an underwater cave I'd die of fright before I could get lost. 😂

In fairness about the bat-poop-air, rodent poo does carry diseases like hantavirus (and maybe even corona, who knows). I remember they carefully dusted and de-moused the cabins in Yosemite when they had that hantavirus outbreak some years ago -- the dust from rodent stuff was supposed to carry the virus.

I would like to add about the snorkel: freedivers take them out upon descent because if you were to BO underwater, the snorkel would effectively work as a funnel, counteracting the body's natural reflex to close the airways to prevent water from entering the lungs. Also, when you come up from a dive, you need to do recovery breaths straight away to quickly oxygenate the body, and so the last thing you wanna do is forcefully exhale to clear the snorkel. That's a surefire way to get an SWB. Thanks for the video! 🌊

Mr.Ballen had a story where cave divers went in similar to this. Into a cave that was dry but then flash flooded. Hope they did a weather check and were aware of river levels 😅

I'm glad it's being kept civil and positive between the channels. Lying on titles isn't very cool but he's probably trying to drive clickbait traffic. But the numbers don't lie, this channel's style is awesome. I think you guys elevate it beyond just entertainment. I'm always learning something, and people love being engaged like that. No need for clickbait!

Ok thought you guys were in Florida. I’m actually from thomasville Georgia.

Gus: "What do you think about that video?" Woody: "You're going to love using the ascender." Love it! Great video guys.

Fun fact: the video you guys are reacting to was the very first video that youtube recommended to me about diving. I have been stuck in a rabbit hole of diving videos ever since and I love it!!

I agree with you Gus, it does seem a bit over hyped. I also agree with Woody, in that it is a very interesting video. Thank you both for the honesty in your videos. Love ya both and always wishing you safe diving. Troy

You guys have a fun dynamic together on this channel! Keep up the good work and content. Im not a diver but maybe youll eventually convinve me haha

I hadn't looked at y'all's sub count in a while and glanced at it once Gus mentioned it in this vid. All I can say is daaaang super well done guys! I think I subbed somewhere around 3k and I feel like it wasn't that long ago. That's what quality content gets you! Keep up the good work and I'll see y'all in your diamond play button unboxing video next week probably!

Absolutely loving the channel and all the great info you guys share cannot wait to get into the water and experience diving !

@@TotallyNoCat Crazy growth from a cool bunch of diving dudes!

Why is this shit so addictive? Saw the popup on my phone and was stoooked.

Just discovered this channel, lots of great videos to catch up on, thanks guys. 24:30, I remove my snorkel when freediving mainly for stealth when spearfishing. Diving with the snorkel in causes a glug, glug, glug sound as the pipe fills with water and spooks target fish from the area before you even see them. I also find it easier as I surface after long apnea dive to just open my mouth and breathe, avoiding the need to blow and clear water from the tube. I was also taught blowing the air from your lungs on the surface to clear a tube, when unknowingly on the edge of samba or swb could be enough to trigger it.

These guys on the vid are like comic relief. Those blue suits look like something on a superhero cartoon show.

I’m so happy to see this channel grow! Y’all are entertaining and informative! Loving all of your videos!

your videos have made me really want to get cave dive certified. it looks so fun. my question is, do you have to be ocean diving certified first? the ocean straight up terrifies me because it’s endless and full of straight up aliens that will kill you. also if i want to learn to dive with a rebreather, how much money am i looking at saving up to get started? finally, are there any instructors in northern california you’d recommend highly? i live in the bay area

You do need to be an Open Circuit diver before getting into Rebreathers. You don't necesarily have to be an "Ocean Diver", but it's hard to be a Rescue diver without any ocean experience. The rebreather cost depends on the model and the brand, so it's hard to answer. And the same for the instructor, it depends on the rebreather you choose, every instructor is certified to teach on a specific rebreather model.

subbed and consistently watch both channels i love watching crossovers/collabs with content creators. great video and great Tact from both sides.

I love these reaction videos it gives us stories and knowledge but I would really love to see yall bring us along on your next dive

I think they have the guy from the TFIL channel with them. That’s a channel wheee they go to haunted places and stay the night ( with fake shenanigans for the views) . They had one video where they went into the hellhole cave ( not diving an above ground cave) that activates anyone claustrophobia. They still do some fake stuff to add some drama but that cave is still pretty awesome to see. Edit: never mind it’s just a guy with the same name. But you should react to a hell hole video it’s insane

My dad has common sense. I thought about this channel when he recently told me about a mountain trip to West Virginia he went on with the youth group from his church. He said that one of the guy’s whose dad showed them the caves, just barely walking into the cavern, wanted to show them another one during free time. They started to walk in the opening, and this guy (a little older than him and a couple of his buddies) told them about how cool it is deep in the cave. Just that they might have to swim through part of it. He said that the guy had a flashlight, so he asked what they’ll do if the flashlight stops working. The older kid tried to reassure them that he’d been in that cave so many times he could get them back out. Even as a young teenager, Dad said he saw a recipe for disaster and said no. Thankfully, his buddies declined, as well. I have to agree with Gus here. I’d rather be cave certified and dive this one than trying to walk/crawl/hold my breath to swim through parts of it. Say you get way back in there like Joe and his buddies, slip and break your leg. You’re up fecal creek without a paddle!

This looked really cool. If it ever gets filled up I'd love to watch you guys film it and take us down there!

Thank you so much for your reaction! I asked for it as well back in the early days ^^ I was really curious how true things were. Honestly, I was pretty anxious when they were free diving without anything. It is easy to overestimate yourself. And I don't know how dangerous the rocks are is they are usually flooded... I think, I remember that you guys days that sometimes only the water keeps the arches. So thank you for the clarification! ^^

I don't think people need to be nasty & act so superior. I've absolutely seen worse than what this guy has done. You don't need to be a snob to be educational about caving,diving,etc. Thank you,Woody,for having a little patience and heart towards newbies I agree with you 100%

Fun fact: these guys seem to have fogged masks constantly, even when under water. This can ruin the experience and massively hinder your visibility. When I learned to open water dive, I was taught that you can either use saliva or toothpaste on the inside of your googles. So you have to spit a little bit and rub it round, or get a tiny bit of toothpaste and rub it over the inside. I always use toothpaste and it works like magic. Just a tiny amount so there's a thin film of toothpaste while the glass is still fully transparent. Zero fog!

He did such a good job on the last video. He went back to hospital hole and basically took all of the feedback I gave him on the first reaction video and used it. It was such a good video!

Mossdale caving disaster was an example of flash flooding. Six young men sadly died.

I'm glad you reacted to this video but honestly, you guys are so much more fun to watch. #1. I'm not a diver #2. I can watch diving videos of different things like caves, wrecks, and underwater cars etc but it honestly freaks me out. I can't even understand the reaction I have to diving & I just don't worry about it because I really like you guys. I like how you interact with each other, I love the longer videos, and you react to videos I would never end up seeing otherwise. ✌️❤️

100% agree with Gus: Unflooded cave... too much work; Ascenders... too much work. Give me effortless weightless anytime. Woody, you'd get along with my dive buddy, like you he's GO GO GO full speed ahead into any adventure, I often need to remind him to SLOW DOWN during our dives because he swims from one thing to the next like a puppy with torpedo's for legs when we dive.

I don't understand why he lies about and dramatizes the stuff. It's a really neat cave most people will never see, and it's shot well. People would watch that, I would. But you lie about stuff for a short-term boost in views. I won't watch any of his videos after that and I bet w lot of people see them and get turned off by the nonsense

I’d love to get into cave diving. I just recently began diving myself and know I have a way to go but it looks so alluring. Love your videos.

Correction there woody. We (freedivers) don't keep th snorkel in our mouth because it stops water from flooding the mouth during LMC. Shallow water blackout happens to freedivers ad when you pass out with the snorkel in the mouth the water has a free path.

Are you guys planning on making videos of your own trips through caves etc? Like woody’s dry cave trip would be awesome to see! Or any other adventure you two go on! Great video again! Thank you for your time and effort

My wife is in the airforce and 2 days ago a fellow service member who was in her unit went missing after going free diving and I was told he was an instructor ,they recovered him yesterday. It's good for people to be careful and even more its good to be vigilant when you dive. Anything can go wrong. I'm kinda shocked that it happened just a month after I started binge watching you guys

I am looking at this cave and can objectively understand why some people would want to explore it. For some reason, it still holds no appeal to me. I've got a knack for that though. My husband got me to try a floatation tank once (basically you float in a tank of saltwater in the darkness for 90 minutes. It's kind of like a womb-like experience). I got nothing out of it. Tried it a second time, and was literally just bored in the tank. It's wasted on me! Funny enough, growing up I was a nature fiend. I only felt like myself in the woods, like I could breathe again. I wish I was still that person, but I don't know the way back.
