Don't worry, I don't TRY to do risky things, all my dives happen with a buddy, usually my dad. I've been diving for 13 hears, he's been diving for 40. An almost fatal story: one day, my dad was ice diving with his two brothers and one college friend. His college buddy thinks the guide wire should be connected to his flashlight, and well, he dropped his light, and the safety line almost immediately. Had they not been in sight of the hole they cut at the surface, I wouldn't be here right now. Diver safety isn't a joke, and we take extra precautions, like running a carabiner right to our vest with the guide lines attached when we enter obstacles. Although it seems like a joke, I am truly horrified that one day, me and my dive buddy might end up on one of these specials, because no matter how safe you are, someone else can and will easily jeopardize your safety and your life.

Why didn’t Guy (the diver) have reasonable safety setups in place? Such as the ability to pull him up or another qualified diver as a rescue person on board? Seems like a serious oversight.

@MmeCShadow

Ай бұрын

He did. Look up Guy Garman for dull details. And understand that, at the depth he was diving, just having somebody to pull you back to the surface will kill you. Ascent from those depths requires literal hours of depressurization at multiple stages-- I think tge ascent required fifteen hours for his partner to return to the surface safely. If something goes wrong at those depths you're dead, the only question is how, and how quickly.

T. C so if you know its possibly to survive then you don't expect you'd be the one to die.... . It's about exploration, why go to the moon in the first place when it's possible to die? Why did we go down to the Marian's trench when you could die? Why take an aeroplane abroad when you could die, plenty have crashed before.... As I say its only AFTER a death people say "why do it"..... If they went into the 4th chamber and came up with a scientific discovery of a new species of animal/plant/bacteria that's huge and it cememts their name in history, not to mention new finds like thst could have the potential to unlock what we previously didn't have in regards to science, biology, medicine e.

Now use that as example for your comment. them experienced divers have been inside that same place many many times before and only then when they were searching for bodies did they find an entrance going soo deep it's believed to connexct to the sea 2000 miles away. so it goes to show there could always be something new to find, especially in the pitch black when all it takes is for your flashlight to hit something you never noticed last time.

I’ve been sitting on my couch for like 4 hours just binge watching your videos. And one thing I’ve learned from watching your videos is this; I’m NEVER going scuba diving.

Born and bred in West Yorkshire, visited Bolton Abbey almost every weekend as my family had a yearly pass. The Strid TERRIFIED me. My mum is very protective of us so never allowed us to go anywhere near it. Even from a very safe distance it almost felt like I was being pulled towards it, as strange as that sounds. Seeing how close some people got was scary. I remember my auntie shouting at my cousin for getting too close, and when I went back as an adult I told my dad off when he stood on the 'ledge' rock you spoke of. It's stomach-churning when you see diagrams of what's going on below the surface.

There is a cool aquarium near Cincinnati OH and they used to have a fantastic display with Japanese spider crabs. It was so spooky and otherwordly. It was my all time favorite aquarium attraction ever; I could stand and watch them for hours. Last time we went back (few years ago) they had removed the crabs and turned that section into all tanks with seahorses. I figure the public complained about the scary crabs, and now it looks like Disneyland. What a disappointment.

I have seen a 'Drop off' when I was in Egypt and this guy is right. It was probably the most intimidating thing I have ever seen. I wouldn't move off the reef, lol

So, crabs and spiders are actually somewhat closely related. Imagine crashing on a deserted island and getting ripped to pieces by giant water-spiders.

Look up the story of the tagged 9ft shark that got eaten by an unknown creature. The tag beacon went hundreds of meters down into the ocean out of nowhere showing an unusual increase in temperature during its dive. The tag got later found, partly destroyed by stomach acids of unsaid known creature. The dude who was leading this research got completely obsessed with it and actually fucked up his career as a scientist, taking on jobs on local fisherboats to spot the area etc. He found out that the area where the shark was eaten was an unknown breeding-ground for killer-whales so at this point in time the two most probable theories are that the shark got eaten by a massive killer-whale or by another massive white shark. The largest on record white shark was around 20ft (Deep blue, btw also probably preggy at the time they recorded her for the last time). Now imagine: if you're a shark and you are horny AF. WHO CHOSES THIS 20FT MONSTER? Something legit looked at it with it's 200m year old brain and was like: "Fuck it, Imma tap that." That's the super frightening thing about Deep Blue, that she was pregnant. It means there's an actual male-counterpart of her and male sharks are known to be way more aggresive. And with alot of animals in the animal kingdom female counterparts are often bigger and heftier... But not not in particular with sharks: the girth and weight of females is often bigger (esp. when preggy) but not their length, when not preggy they average out pretty well compared to males.

Another fun fact about the Bolton Strid. Anytime the water gets churned up enough it can get foamy. Like shaking up a soda bottle, you get a lot of air bubbles in the water. When that happens, the water loses density which means you are much less buoyant in it. That means that even if the water in the Strid wasn't movie, you might just sink anyway and there would be little you could do.

I'm taken by surprise how much I'm learning from your vids... I've never even heard of these 3 dangers! The tame waters and night sand look so innocent

So I'm a certified scuba diver. I was certified in Cozumel, Mexico. There's a spot out in the ocean nearby that's also named "The Wall" and it's exactly as you described this area in your story. Huge, straight dropoff. Complete darkness. I remember swimming by it and I briefly saw the darkness and it was absolutely the thing of nightmares. I avoided that area at all costs. Remember folks, NEVER dive by yourself. Stuff could turn badly pretty damn quickly.

I know your comment is over a year old, but I just wanted to share since I came across this video today. I've been on more than 10 diving trips to Cozumel, ever since I got certified at 12 years old, back in 98. It was a yearly tradition with my mom (she was a dive master and later became an instructor, she's now retired and it's been many, many years since the last time we went on a dive trip together). I've been to Cozumel's "The Wall" on several trips, very likely the same location as you. When I was younger we would usually skip that day of diving. But after I was around 14-15, it was something we would do a few times on each of our trips. It's such a surreal experience, I can't even put into words. On your right, just beautiful coral reef, teeming with all the typical reef fish and sea life you would normally see in the Caribbean. Then on your left, abyss, just sheer dark blue nothingness. Literally a 90 degree drop to the depths of the ocean. The running joke was, hold tight to your dive buddy or you'd end up in Cuba if the sharks didn't get you first, due to the massive current in that area. It's actually kind of terrifying thinking back on it now, but holy crap it was such an incredible experience. Thank you for bringing me back some nostalgia, I sure miss those trips.

The ignorance of humanity surpasses all species on the planet.

I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but for story "#3 what's down there", based on the location of the submerged vertical cave in the warm waters of St. Croix, the most likely culprit living in or near the bottom of such underwater features would be the Cookie-Cutter Shark. They get their name, in part, due to their feeding behavior whereby larger animals are preyed upon by having large chucks bitten from their bodies. In fact, whales which seasonally migrate through the Bahamas and other warm equatorial waters have been documented to have large bite marks, scars of bite marks, and portions taken from their sides. Nicknamed the "demon-whale biters," these fascinating sharks live between the Bahamas and Madagascar and hunt the water column between 1000-4000 meters to prey on fish, rising vertically at dusk and then returning. They aren't very big, reaching approx. 22in in length, however they are known to travel in schools while hunting and several sharks attacking a single prey animal, or perhaps diver, could inflict the same type of damage seen on larger marine animals. When a would-be predator approaches the lure, the shark attaches itself using its suctorial lips and specialized pharynx and neatly excises a chunk of flesh using its bandsaw all-like set of lower teeth. Perhaps this is our dweller in the deep?

When I was in the Navy I was stationed on Diego Garica we had the opportunity to eat coconut crab while we had a camping pass to spend the night on the plantation side of the atoll. The crabs were protected by the British Crown under threat of a 500 pound fine. Think we ate about $3000 worth of crab. I believe the statue of limitations has expired. It was the best tasting crab I have ever had.

I learned to scuba dive in St. Croix, I have dived the wall. Most of the dive sites in STX are about 60ft but the wall just drops. It seems to almost be a 90 degree drop. While I was diving the wall I wandered off, as I do and it wasn’t until my dad came and indicated to me that I needed to check my depth, that I realized I was over 100 ft deep, I’m limited to 60 but because I’ve dived with “SCUBA” (the dive shop that certified me and has been my parents go to for 15 yrs) they let my parents keep track of me. Before I was certified I’d hang out with the above water team and snorkel above the divers. You should hear my night dive escapades. If you dive the wreck be warned another dive shop feeds the moray eel and there’s a barracuda that expects to be fed also.

A friend once told me of this old army buddy he had who was stationed in the south Pacific during 'Nam. They had to have a nighttime guard shift, because the coconut crabs were such a menace that most nights you had the reports from M16s for a lullaby. The camp cooks made good use of all the dead spoods, but the guys quickly got sick of there always being crab-something on the menu. Headshed decommed the place not long after being established due to lack of strategic utility and constant bitching by the stationed officers.

We had Beaver Dam Swim Club. A portion of an old rock quarry no longer active, in a MUCH larger quarry in Cockeysville MD that's still mined today. In the Swim Club, they had poured concrete to construct a standard pool, but at the quarry's edge, there was a break in the concrete so the good swimmers could swim straight out into the actual quarry. I know the feeling of looking into that abyss, because as an 8-year-old, that quarry break WAS the abyss. It was so creepy swimming over to that part where the bottom dropped off, the sides disappeared, and the water turned icy and dark. Too bad that section of the Club was closed so long ago. Now it's simply Beaver Springs Swim Club, one quarry instead of two. (I'm old. Maybe it used to be Beaver Springs and NOW it's Beaver Dam.) I can't remember!!!

Well, these are stories with scary/bad endings. Plenty of adventurous people have risked life and limb and come out the other side.

It might not be helpful for survival per se, but it is requisite to make it to the top of the food chain. Tigers are crazy too, I saw a video of one try to bring down a charging rhino. That's the difference between the bull, and the guy grabbing it by the horns.

It’s natural selection my friends. NATURAL SELECTION. Do dumb shit, when dumb prizes…

So I'm from a place called ulithi or the ulithi atoll and we actually eat coconut crabs regularly. A crazy thing about them is their big pincers can actually lock closed and pretty much won't let go unless severed. Love the videos mr ballen! Hopefully you like my little tidbit lol

The freckle cream is what convinces me. How would USA product make it 10,000 to an uninhabited island? It was carried there by Amelia .

Amelia Airheart's story was interesting and the theory on her death was sickening, if the bone fragments even belonged to Amelia...

I have been diving off St Croix many times. My deepest dive was at the wall. I did about 130’. Lots of sea life. No problems for my dad, Kit McNair & me. Lots of black coral (& sharks) at the mouth of the Salt River near Christianstead.
