Here's how much gear you need to cave dive 

I love the way they pick on each other back and forth it’s hilarious

If there is one constant in the universe, it's Brian's shop. Guys, I'm curious how you travel with your sidewinders? Do you put them on the airplane in those plastic totes? Do you bring O2 bottles? By the way I still think "Ralph's cave" is a terrible name. Not a very spectacular name for one of the best caves in the world. Brian refuses to change it. LOL. This video brought back so many memories. Gotta get back down to dive with Brian! Woody...how much weight is in the XDEEP to accommodate the drysuit? Woody what went wrong???? I can't believe you missed the dive!!!! What a bummer man!! I'm sorry!

This was a joy to watch. I love the morning of a dive … connecting to your surroundings … the excited anticipation of what’s to come. Love it!

The thing I learned: "Watch your head. Stalactites don't move." Great perspective on what it takes to see fabulous things.

What about a 360 camera? Then the viewer can move the camera around and you guys don't have to worry about which way the camera is pointing. You can use it just for the cave dive itself. Love you guys!! Y'all are amazing!!

Hey Guys!! Love that shirt Gus!!!

One of these days I hope to have what it takes to visit the spectacular crystal caves. Might take a long while but it is definitely on the bucket list.

So according to Woody, the first step in preparing for a cave dive is to buy a turkey sandwich 😄😄. Seriously, great video guys.

There’s just so much stuff!!! It’s so crazy to actually see all the pieces you take with you and how much it fills up that van even!! And I thought I took a lot of things to dance classes with a duffle bag full of things.

I’m glad you made this video because it’s something I’ve always thought about. I am not a diver and have no experience whatsoever, but I watch all of your videos and many times I think to myself, “Man, with all that equipment, is it even fun by the time they are done setting up“? 😂 Obviously the answer is yes or you wouldn’t continue to do so. Thanks guys and keep the great content coming.

Hell, I’d just like to ride around with Brian and listen to him talk about stuff. Absolute Legend 💎

20:03 Gus this is why I love you dude. Thanks for everything you and Woody do. Humans need to hear the sweet calm of nature. Powerful.

I will always watch your videos even when content slows we understand things get busy.

Wow! This was quite involved. Holy moly

I agree, Brian, Tom Petty is/was very talented. Sorry, Woody missed the dive. Glad Gus was able to make the Glass Factory. I hope one day to see it myself, in person. Dive safe.

Woody Would love an "after" discussion/breakdown of what went wrong with your rebreather. Great way to learn some trouble shooting procedures with Brian involved in the troubleshooting John

Absolutely love the in depth look at the gear and the setup. I see why you guys do it, the walk there was beautiful but WOW the cave is just amazing!! Hopefully one day I’ll be cave cut like woody 😂 Love the video

Not sure how I missed this, but this video is fantastic.

I would be so nervous in those tight spaces, but the views inside are incredible. Really does make me want to get certified to cave dive

Thanks for the set up & tour

Great video, @Gus really like how you have the o2 cylinder on the Hollis Butt plate, looks really stable with the torch connected via the bungee

It looks like properly prepping for a safe cave dive is the most time consuming aspect of the dive. Actually going on the dive is like your reward 🙂

Enjoyed this detailed video.

I can’t wait to watch these dives on the upcoming videos

I’m always more than jealous when you both post dive videos. Especially as the sites always look so cool. Also jealous of the kit. Hope I’ll do my rebreather training soon.

Extremely enjoyable to watch the prep side of it! Cheers!

just like the morning of an astronaut going into space

That's ok Gus, if you need to focus we would rather that, we know you will always give us good videos when you can ha :) I like videos like this, it great to see you guys set up and how you prepare some of your gear for the dive, informative and helpful. Location looks stunning. Hope that is me one day ha! Sorry you missed it Woody!!!!

Super cool video, guys! Loved the time-lapse!

Yet another great video guys always enjoyable to watch keep up the good work.

Calm moments of peace in the wild followed by tom petty and the heartbreakers during your set up. You two enjoy your dive!

Nice video, makes me want to dive there even more!

Reminds me when I prep for a fireworks show no detail is to small days planning hours of hard work and 20 minutes of holy cow that was Awesome

Hi guys I know this is sort of not related but I recently dived a cenote Zapote aka hells bells .i know it’s not a a cave it’s a caven and you dive down around then up but i take my hat off to you two doing cave diving .i will just stick to my dives looking at fish .

All I can say is epic video guy's ! I love all your content thx gus & woody

Woody missing the dive is tragic! He had already been diving there once though, right?

If you dropped me in that room with all your gear, with no instructions, I probably couldn't put it together in a million years. There would be extra parts 🤣🤣

ODDE the cave diving black lab awesome

I want to go!

You guys are awesome I love your videos

Gus & Woody, another great video. Brian's rebreather looks insane. Keep me in your thoughts, guys. I lost my job of 17 years Wednesday. Love you guys!

Better to miss the dive than to miss breathing.

Nice video guys

Hi Gus and woody. I want to thank you. For the things I learned from watching your videos. I didn't know anything about scuba diving and because of your videos I learned a great deal about scuba diving. Thank you so much have a great safe dive 👍🙏❤️

That entrance is pretty😍

Very cool gear I'm jealous wish I was there.

I thought that was a kid in the back seat. You need pink shorts so I would know it was you. I was worried woody was not in the van.

7:03 OMG I flinched 🤣

Woody I'm sure had an absolute blast sitting around in that drysuit for one hour :-))

Cool stuff 👍😎

I get that kiss woody planted on his rebreather. I kiss my gear all the time when I’m about to take it out lol

It seems like it would be so easy to miss hooking up something, with all the tubes, spaghetti I call em. All the INS and outs...it looks so complicated. I know you guys know what you're doing. It's just from my perspective.

Wow Woody what a disappointment, sorry to hear that. Gus glad you got to enjoy. Brian's the man with the plan... Thanks Guys...

only woody could flex a pink re-breather 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I know Gus would never throw Woody under the bus on a dive video 😅

I'm interested to know what caused Woody to stop diving. 4 hours of prep, 45min trying to fix the issue... Wouldn't that show up earlier on? Purely from a knowledge perspective. This video just shows how much prep is needed at the advanced level of diving. Great work!

You had me at turkey sandwich.

Hey, Gus & Woody, may I ask... where do you guys stay during your trips to Abaco? I'm dreaming about visiting Abaco caves, too. Probably not quite soon, but a dream is a dream. Hotels/Resorts are not worth all that money when you spend all day in a cave and preparing for it. What are the options?

Love to see your setup fellas just a quick question if it's ok.Have you ever been diving and something went wrong and you had to do a emergency resurface ? Love you videos guys keep up the good work. 👍

could you cover some cave diving that are good for someone who is not a cave diver (im only padi advanced with nitrox) so have to stay in site on entrance....i have dived in a nice cave in Rhodes near the acropolis that had a fresh water waterfall in the back that you could stand on a huge rock tack off reg and look around ....was very cool going from salt to fresh water as i went from entrance at 20 meters (bottom of entrance was 50mtrs i think) to surface at back of cave there was a tech dive only section that was down to 70mtrs i think

We gotta get you a tripod Gus

Gus, don't you have connection issues with that Swift transmitter on the O2 tank so far away from your wrist? Mine lose their connection frequently on their sidemount valves in my armpits.

so it takes 28mins to prepare (plus the ride to the cave) cool

Is travelling with diving gear difficult? I often wonder what sorta "systems" divers use to rationalise the amount of gear they take overseas on dive trips. Is it a case of having a few essentials of your own that you always take, then rely on local dive shops for other gear to finish of your system? Seeing the rebreathers out of the water and being (at least partly) assembled up close, they're not necessarily small ... or light. Are travel cases for rebreathers or open circuit systems something that exists? EDIT: 24:10 ... Preparing CCRs to the sounds of CCR! Haha! Yes! ❤ And is Woody wearing a dry suit and Gus a regular wetsuit, or is it something different?

I'm not a driver but I would assume the same rule for sky diving exists for cave diving. Don't rush the prep. Check everything real well.

❤❤❤❤

Seemed like there was some tension between you guys?✌️🧡

Just the fact you can see that beautiful nature creation and known 99 % humanity never will be able to see in person is totally worth!! .. OK New personal Gold : Dive there before the end of this decade (seriously) !!

Guys I'm sorry if I'm off target here, but I've been wanting to say this for a while. It seems to me that most of you guys' videos for the past year, which have not been a lot by the way, have been pretty much shouldered all by Gus. From toting the gear to doing the filming, and editing the the tapes, and doing the narration, and all this other shit that goes along with what you guys are supposed to do on your channel, and he seems to carry more than his fair share of the load. Correct me if I'm wrong, and Woody by the way I really love you man, nothing personal, but hey man you need to lend your brother a hand ⁉️ I apologize and no hard feelings!? It's just the way it's coming across to me, the way it's perceived? I don't know if it's just me or, you know, anybody else?

Brilliant to watch you assemble your gear lads but I’m afraid that’s why I don’t dive, I wouldn’t last long having to put that all together it’s way to complicated for the likes of me👍 When I was rigging up for kitesurfing session in narly wind there would be not a lot of talking just concentrating on getting everything right.

What were the equipment issues that prevented the dive?

I have a question about people who need contacts or glasses how does that work with diving I can't see more than 3 ft in front of me without mine so I was wondering how divers compensate for that

Lol. Almost 30 minutes? Don’t have to watch but that sounds about right for experienced ccr setup and prep for a dive ;) Enjoy!!

@DIVE TALK please read Not sure why but watching you don gear was somehow therapuetic. watching you two go through the routine and even though you didn't say much while dressing it was somehow relaxing to watch. perhaps there is something to it and perhaps others enjoyed it also and perhaps you can make more videos including that. maybe cave dive highlights with underwater or in situ skill testing- you two show how to escape line entanglement in a tight overhead with low light, or Gus the linemaster demonstrates how to tie line when there is nothing good to tie it to. the beginning of the vid could show you guys taking your time to put on the gear. peace and God Bless p.s Woody you are aware of things many others are not capable of perceiving. continue and let not anyone's words turn your heart or mind. although it may seem silly to some to tell your rebreather that you love it or give it a kiss, and even though only a person can be loved, you are aware of the energy and intention and emotion behind the action which assuredly modifes all physical reality in accordance with the energy of the giver. in an imaginary experiment where Woody expresses positivity toward his gear and Steely expresses negativity, the results are in accordance with a similar experiment actually conducted IRL in which positive emotions changed the appearance of the molecular structure of water in an appealing and symetrical way and negative emtions affected it in a chaotic and unbalanced way

How much would one full re breather set up be worth? Remember I know nothing about diving so that maybe an ignorant question but I’m hoping not..

Looks like how I get my backpacking pack on 😂. Get into position and wham get that 50lbs on your back.

are you coming to cenotes on july to??

If someone like myself who have hearing problems since birth. Would this effect me in any way to getting into diving?

Ah I get it woody. "cave cut" like "boot cut"or flare.

what do you do if you get a hole in your suit on a dive?

What are those blue things Gus has (looks like near the primary light clip, around 25:20 or so)? Woody has some as well, but in pink (of course).

What does all the equipment weigh??

Woody's suit is super cool Gus Is just a spandex suit

Poison Ivy on steroids... We have something in Australia that has big soft and friendly looking leaves... But the hairs on the leaves have driven people to suicide (Gympie Gympie).

So I am thinking about doing my open water course. I have never scuba dived before and the one skill that has got me a little bit nervous is regulator recovery at depth. Like idk why but it makes me a bit nervous…I know it isn’t too hard, any tips?

Almost like how astronauts suit up its kind of ironic.

next time someone tries to clown on me for being scrawny I'm telling them I'm cavecut; optimized for confined space exploration. thanks woody 🤣

I hope the governor is providing enough resources for the environmental damage that is expected to occur cyclically.

... is woody wearing a seatbelt?

do you think someone with asthma can dive like you guys??

🤗🐠🐠🤗

Yes viewers, this is too expensive for you to do.

Cave cut.... 🤣🤣🤣

I am a new open-water diver, and I saw on one of your videos about vomiting underwater. The recommendation is to vomit through your regulator. I am now so nervous about this scenario, and I can not find anything demonstrating how to be safe in that situation. I am interested in a video on this scary topic. Thank you for all that you do! P.S I love when you guys get super technical, I learn so much!

👍
