Divers React to unbelievable underwater cave 

Yes yes yes yes yes!!!

I'd pay to watch that! Literally!

Please, please, please!!

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give us more information hahahahaha

YES. YES. YES, and WHEN?? :D

Beep beep

You should call this the "bacteria race". It's the opposite of the "rat race".

LOLLLLL your crazy Jonathan🤣🤣🤣

I'm starting adoption proceedings so Jonathan Bird can be my dad. Never mind that I'm probably older than he is, I'm gonna make it work! hahahahahaha LOVE LOVE LOVE BlueWorld

My situation is almost identical to yours.

Ditto

Thank you for expressing my own thoughts. I’m terribly claustrophobic, tried snorkeling once (blowing out = ok; breathing in = not so much). Woody & Gus allow me to experience this beautiful part of the world.

@@TheLuckyeight8 True I love this channel because of that too

Awesome!

*beep beep*

Wasn’t that diving @ Chernobyl INSANE? I’m wondering what the damage to your future health would look like in a decade

Maybe the bacteria are tiny aliens 🤭🐙

Part-time reptile wrangler, here... It's worth just pointing out that with climate change, ALL "wild waters" are suspect for harboring bacteria, fungus, and other dubious forms of slimy, gooey, and icky things... To play it safe, as soon as you can, upon emerging from any wild body of water, TAKE A SHOWER, and check yourself over for scratches. It's not that it might or might not be dangerous, just bother to CLEAN and administrate each point of broken skin. Don't discriminate between "bleeding" or not... If the skin's broken, antiseptic wash/scrub, and probably a good point to use some form of antibiotic ointment "just on principle"... It doesn't take much ointment either, especially on the "non-bleeding" breaks... like those little rough patches where you've "barked the hide" but nothing's even sore or leaking... A dab of ointment is all you need. If the thing is "shiny" that's enough... AND of course, keep an eye on things. If something gets unusually sore or hot to the touch, smells "off", starts swelling and turning colors (like red or purple), etc... Don't waste time trying to add to your home treatment... You've tried, so take it to a Doc' or Nurse in a clinic and make notes... It's not that water is particularly more dangerous in Mexico or Florida, either. Someone scratched herself up horse-playing at a waterpark in North Carolina just a year or two ago, and ended up losing stuff to "Flesh eating bacteria"... It's just not worth the risk of waiting to get home or trying out new or more powerful OTC stuff... Unless you KNOW for a fact what you've got, just hit the clinic or your personal regular doctor and present the situation... Even go to E.R. if necessary... Hopefully, you'll only ever get some broad spectrum antibiotics and a "deep cleansing" from the Doc' and that'll be that... I HAVE been known (though I'm a tad hesitant to share this) to take a good warm bath with about a cup of BLEACH in the water... strong enough to "by God smell" and know that if I DO have a "hidden abrasion" or a cut or scratch and haven't noticed... I WILL notice before I'm standing up for the shower to rinse off... AND DO shower off after, if you're going to do this. Chlorine bleach ain't no good long term for your skin... BUT there really isn't much that it won't kill... SO about a 20 minute soak and scrub-down in the bleach-bath can be a perfectly good way to be sure you've administrated EVERY scritch, ding, scratch, cut, abrasion, or rough spot so nothing nasty has hitched a ride to make you miserable later... It's a fairly easy, quick, and effective method (in my experience) to wash up after adventures in "wild waters" where I've been known to chase and catch alligators with just as much enthusiasm as snakes, lizards, and what-not else... It gets rough, and it's easy (for me) to lose track of all the minor dings... AND you DO get dinged up wrangling reptiles. ;o)

@@gnarthdarkanen7464 Thank you for this response. This helped because i had the same concerns

@@JoeyOutlaw Always welcome. What with climate change and the steady rise in water temperatures, "Wild waters" are only going to get more dubious for the foreseeable future. I live with spring water and a catch-box with an electric pump feeding into my house. It's still DELICIOUS compared to "City Water" (gags) BUT I do have to regularly go down and test, and occasionally clean out the "spring box"... In any case, if my experience can help anyone, I'm only happy to share and offer helpful (to the best of my ability) advice. It's easier than you'd expect to neglect or forget about a very minor scratch, and not that water is necessarily all that dangerous right now (depending on where you are and the conditions)... BUT the few particularly nasty risks just aren't worth neglecting... A couple cheap little tricks, like bath with bleach to detect "dings", antiseptic attention, and a neosporin (or equivalent) can widen your margins considerably with little or no real inconvenience... AND of course, if it doesn't seem to help in 2 or 3 days, just go see a medical pro'. No need taking unnecessary risks when you don't have to... Chances are it turns out to be a bit of debris stuck or a very mild infection, easily dealt with... maybe a couple weeks on antibiotics after the Doc' cleans and treats the "wound" in question... BUT if it turns out "serious" you've got access to help and are probably well in time to handle it... My mother finally went to the Doc's after 4 days from a particularly contentious feral cat... Turned out "Cat scratch fever" is more than a silly thing made up for a song... AND she was within a day of being beyond medical treatment... just that easily. Not to terrify anyone of cats, either. Just a cautionary note... It's easier than you'd expect to get into trouble... and it can be easy to get back out, IF you act early. ;o)

Thank you very much! Since I use drysuit, I have a layer of protection and am not exposed. But if ever, I will consider your advice!

Worth pointing out that unless you're planning to go Exploring (which is a different cert', too), you don't have to get into places that are particularly tight. There are caves to visit that don't require dismantling equipment or pushing and squeezing or wriggling around restrictions particularly difficult... Some "tight spaces" maybe, but generally you CAN determine your comfort level and just set limits... Just starting out? Maybe stick to open waters and occasional dips into confines or looking into cavernous places until you're really ready to make that progress...

3 months it is! Can you tell my boss for me?

@@DIVETALK Sure thing.

You are one of the privileged to see it yourself! I don’t dive

If it was me id get a prime 20mm focal length lens with a polarizing filter!

It would also help to have a 50000 lumens dive light lol. That would light up the whole cave

@Danny Al 30yo here and I feel the same way! These guys are inspiring and hold a special place in my heart 💜

I just had a mental picture of Woody in pink, microphone in hand ...with the arms of his knitted octopus hat floating in the current 😅

it is actually possible to do that an optical fiber along to the line to transmit data is te perfect fit for that kind of stuff

If they just used ethernet for line 😂

@@peulleieoyukino6369 you'd have to connect to that fiber optic which as they pointed out previously you don't want to hold on to the mainline except as a emergency exit strategy. The only real way with current technology to do is have Bluetooth repeaters run throughout the cave but then you just added some ugly to the dive.

@@JamesSmullins you have to see it like an umbilical following you, like commercial sat divers it's not to be used as a line per se, it's additionnal equipment needed for the task and depending on the conditions you might want to also have a power line alongside the fiber to power the equipments

I'm not Gus or Woody but I'll chime in since you seem to be interested. I highly recommend after OW you find an instructor who IS a cave diver and who teaches recreational courses as well. How to find such instructor? You will need to talk to a few until you "click" with an instructor. The sooner you begin to dive like a cave diver (not on your knees... not vertical in the water), the smoother your transition into tech equipment and into cave will be.
