sign: “go no farther” the guy who passes the sign: *sayonara* note: i wrote this comment almost 2 years ago where i didn’t fully read the sign and i now know that the sign is for inexperienced divers without gear/training
@@randyrodriguez916 you mean if your are trained appropriately. Experience does not mean in the slightest you can go into an underwater cave. You absolutely have to have the training for underwater cave diving.
I love Mr.Ballens Videos as much as the next but all the stories he tells are glammed up and not all the way truthfully told the correct way. He definitely does some Hollywood magic to it
@@72151Nothing about being deep underwater is "perfectly safe" EVER no matter the experience and equipment, and the proof that most of the experienced divers ever, most of them died under water due to "shit happens and you have no way of going back up to surface right away"
My favorite part, *"You needed training to dive."* . The Reaper isn't talking to the divers reading that sign, he's talking in the past tense, to those skeletons lying in front of him who didn't heed the warning.
@user-pu2ex8br7pa lot of cave divers were technical divers with years of experience. The man who started cave diving and made it famous died, well, while cave diving.
I paused it so I could read the whole thing, divers have died right there. That's my Q to exit. I don't see a picture of Jesus either just the grim reaper another bad sign
extreme caution is advised every subnautica player: screw that warning if only i actually could dive past 1000 meters without getting crushed instantly
The sign says in caves just like this one . I feel like each one with a reaper sign should have it’s own updated death count . It would be more deterring and less people would die possible !!!! Imagine thinking no one sided in this cave !!! lol they that’s your last time seeing daylight.
Nope, most of, not all, but most cave deaths are people who aren’t certified to be there. There’s obviously people who get complacent or something crazy happens. But the bulk of them are people just going in for a look, silting it up, and panicking.
@@sleepyproduction7166 yeah when people die in caves its usually either them doing something not so smart (ex. diving into a cave without the proper certification) or a freak accident like a collapse which would be highly unlikely
I've been in one of these. Somewhat ominously there were several snapped lines floating, and one cable that continued down into the dark. They usually put these signs where someone had died, well, at the point it was determined they got lost. Never ever do this stuff without an experienced, trusted guide. Bravery will serve you well for most things but in an underwater cave one foolhardy decision means death.
No, they place these signs at places where the cavern (cave where you can still see some daylight) turns into cave (completely dark). Caverns can be dived with guides by regular divers and common gear. Caves require training and redundant gear. You'll find these signs in caves that have a chance of untrained people finding their way inside. Source: I'm a trained cave diver.
This footage is from vortex springs and was the first cave to be found with this added. Watched my best friend loose his dad one day when we went out to the springs for a swim and free dive day but his dad was a navy sos diver and wanted to battle the underwater fresh spring cave once again but this time he got stuck under the table deep in the cave which is a flat area about a half a quarter mile down. I remember sitting around holding my free diving gear and watching as the search team came up and pronounced him missing and probably dead until they found him the following morning
What you see around the sign is what's back in the cave..... it looks pretty much the same a mile in the cave. There's nothing much living back there, there's no food, so no living creatures of any size. The sign is real, if you're not trained, you'll likely be in the news as a body recovery. Nothing worth dying over.
usually yes. Caves can be disorienting. Also, if you're not trained you don't know how to plan for enough breathing gas to safely exit. Then there's the visibility which can quickly turn to zero if you kick up some silt. And if your light fails it's literally pitch black. Cave training teaches you how to prepare for all those things and which equipment you need to safely do it. It's not a dangerous sport if you're trained. Most people who die are untrained divers who wanted to just take a quick look around the corner.
The interesting thing is many open water divers past the standard depth for their tanks, when narked will continue past this sign and get lost. Sober many people could peek in and have the forethought to turn around but when narked they just keep going
Real shit there bro and I never dived much less got in a ocean/sea or river and so when narked one loses sense over Decisions with no fear a deadly Trait that sets over due to the pressure oxygen you intake. Man i been learning a lot lately to day is the first day in my life watching Yuri Lipski wow that blowed me away as I drink my morning coffee ☕️.
Yes and they would die. People underestimate what it takes to go in a pitch black cave in water with sometimes zero visibility even with a light. People think they can just go a little ways in and that's how accidents happen.
The same energy as playing Hungry Shark Evolution in 2016 and getting chills down your spine as you approach that “western sea” sign and entering the wide expansion of water
Guys there is acutally really creepy things down there (like ghosts and really scary figures from the people who died from exploring the cave) but they don't put it on the sign!
my hometown in germany is know for its famous diving lake (not even a cave, just a normal lake). 1-2 people die here like every month in the summer. it’s called “kreidesee” in hemmoor, germany. it’s so fucking big and deep because in the war, we were the main producers of concrete in northern germany.
If you go cave diving, get certified and get prepared before you do it. if something goes wrong, you can’t just go up. If you can’t go up you get dead. @Sailingandscuba
“there’s nothing in this cave worth dying for” truer words have never been said, from my POV as an aspiring diver with zero interest in cave diving. Scientifically speaking, sure I can see points of interest to study but like… I’ll send an ROV down there before I go in myself?! 😅
I wouldn’t do that to closed in for 1 and 2 fear of drowning,3 you couldn’t pay me to go in so if I saw this sign I’d go back to wherever it is that I was just from
Been in so many. I don't think I've been in one that people haven't died in... drowning in salt water takes 5-30 minutes and its not just hypoxia but your lungs have blood drawn into them from the salt and blood cells begin to burst from what is essentially over saturation due to salt. Buring alive almost seems less stressful because shock and adrenalin kick in extremely quickly enough to probably make you pass out. As someone that has had second and third degree burns on my face and arms and knows the pain of having the burns scrubbed with brushes to debride necrotic trissue, id still rather burn.
