Scuba Diver Stereotypes 

LOL..."SDI, TDI, STD, everything." This is hilarious... hits the nail on the head in every part! LOL

Woody : "Chest compressing you, youre so bent!" Gus : "Call the police!"

Gus is probably the only diver who has a card for overwater wrecks. What a trailblazer.

“We were only down for twelve minutes!” “I know. I’m sorry. I got excited.” Annnddd I died. 😂😂😂

"SDI's, TDI's, STD's, I got everything" Made me laugh a lot harder than it should have lmao

Lmao. The grin on Woody's face when he grabbed Gus's head and told him he wanted to make sure he was breathing was priceless. It was worth watching for that part alone, but the whole thing was hilarious.

This video should be a part of every open water diver’s training orientation. It’s not only brilliantly funny, but oh my goodness does it also teach a lot of important info in a short amount of time. I have watched this a few times already and it is now a part of my all-time favorites collection. So good!

6 minutes and 20 seconds of straight laughter…. WELL DONE!

Yup! I've seen most of these. I'd like to add one. The "I never get cold" diver. I got "insta-buddied" in Hawaii (73F water) with a fellow that dove Puget Sound (46F) a lot. He's saying "73 degree water, that's great!! Hits the water in shorts and a T-shirt. On surface interval, he was blue. Much to my surprise, he did a second dive. On the trip back to dock, he was shivering uncontrollably. Thought he was going to go into convulsions. All he needed was 3mm to save his day.

Maybe it was just the videos I happened to watch, but my first impressions of Woody were soooo off base. I got the impression he was a no-nonsense, mathematical, safety officer kind of guy. Turns out, he’s ACTUALLY a literal Agent of Chaos.

You guys are seriously the Abbot & Costello meets The Odd Couple of the diving world. 😂

Even though I just found this channel a few weeks ago, it feels like Woody and Gus are my two cool diver uncles, and I’ve known them forever.

I didn’t know you could get STD certified. This is the kind of valuable information I come to Gus and Woody for. Another stellar video guys.

"I got SDI, TDI, STD, everything..." that one cracked me up, nice one xD (actually, this entire video)

I feel like the Gus being the card collector isn't too far off 😂😂😂👌

"Let's say you need a snorkel..." lol Thank you guys for the laugh, really needed today. Keep it up.

I know nothing about diving and this has me absolutely crying with laughter. You two definitely have a backup second career as a comedy duo!! Thanks for your vids, I'm learning a lot and am actually going from no-way-in-hell to I-think-maybe-I-could-do-this in regards to diving.

The personal space one is hilarious. I have had too many aluminum 80’s be sat down straight on my nuts that it’s ridiculous. Lol. “Whoops, didn’t see you there”. My response every time it happens is “sounds about right”.

CLASSIC!! If u guys ever do a “number 2”, dont forget to include “The Boat Sheriff”, the guy who goes around checking on other people’s equipment and telling them they’re doing things incorrectly.

I was already laughing but lost it at the "YOUR SO BENT" "CALL THE POLICE!" ... Not even a diver but after watching your Channel understood all of them. LOL.

I’m Brazilian, not so good at English, not a Diver and even so I learn a lot with you guys that I was capable to understand This comedy video and this made me laugh a lot! Thank you guys! You’re awesome!

I was extremely hesitant to watch this video- fearing exactly how many of the stereotypes would relate to me. What a relief to see that only about half of them do.

This is so accurate 😂 I just loved the brand new rescue diver 😂😂😂😂 I would personally add two more stereotypes: - The ultimate bladder: no matter how many times he pees before the dive, he always has to pee at the end of the dive and everyone has to turn their head to the other side - The overprotective: the diver who takes TOO MUCH care of his scuba gear (usually the most expensive). He is always checking new gear arrivals at the store 😂

I almost got killed during my one and only certification dive by my air guzzler dive partner in a Pennsylvania quarry, a mere 30 feet (9m) down, in 1992. After some amount of time, my partner and high school friend gave me the out-of air-signal. I looked at my air gauge and had about 2/3 capacity, so I assumed that my partner -- a suave dude but also an inveterate goof -- was joking. I waved at him as if to say, "Pshaw, partner dude" and turned around thinking "Don't joke about that stuff, man". Immediately, he grabbed my arm, spun me around and produced a very urgent and intense out-out-air signal. I looked at his gage. Yup. He was bone dry. So, I siddled up, grabbed the top of his tank with my left hand and carefully removed my regulator, guiding it toward his mouth. Before it got there, my partner grabbed it in a panic, slammed it in like Maggie Simpson and started breathing like a humming bird. Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds. Ok, partner dude let's pass that... and he just let the regulator go. It floated behind me a got wedged between my tank and BC. The visibility in the quarry that day was 10 feet. Fifteen tops. I couldn't find it, spinning around like a dog chasing his tail. Then I began to panic myself; suddenly I was met by a relentless urge to open my mouth and breathe in. Wantonly, greedily, I inflated my vest and rocketed to the surface like an ICBM. I would be shocked if my waist didn't clear the water. Safe and sound, I tilted my head back and just floated there for a few seconds, breathing hard, until it dawned on me that I didn't grab my partner before I flooded the BC. I found my regulator and popped it back in, but before I could initiate my first diving rescue (on my first real dive), my partner's head slowly breached the surface. After a few desperate breaths, he too tilted his head back and began to just float. "You bastard," he croaked. "You.. you left me down there to die." As the rest of him floated upwards into a partial backstroke pose, I spotted something around his waist. "You didn't drop your weights?" I asked. He felt around his middle clumsily until he felt it. "Oh", he said. "Oh yeah." Unlike my partner, however, all the capillaries in my eyes had burst. Four months later the two of us , wholly certified now, dove Blue Grotto all the way to the 100 -foot bottom (30m). I'm pretty sure that neither of us did a deco stop when we went up. It was our second and, for me, my second-to-last real dive.

Missing: The storyteller: always tells a story from an alleged badass technical dive, usually on a recreational reef dive, nobody cares, he still keeps going. The commando: three different knives, tech fins, shears, and a camo drysuit/hood, usually on a 70ft deep wreck without penetration. The instabuddy tag-along: "hey guys, do you mind if I join the two of you this dive? Just in case, just do your thing". Always does weird stuff underwater that can't be ignored and completely changes the dive.

I have seen everyone of these throughout the years. (I have probably been on or two of them by accident). Awesome video great job on nailing "those" divers down

0:55 LMAO! The way Woody gets romantically close to share his second snorkel. Oh god, please don't give soap operas a terrible idea haha. That's hilarious though! The bit with the STDs caught me off guard too haha. Can't wait to see more!

Ever notice that there's people like this in any pursuit not just diving? No matter what you do, you'll find them everywhere. Great video. Laughed my butt off! Recently found your channel and think it's great. Thank you!

Gus yelling "call the police". I lost it.

Woody makes a lot of great points about having a backup snorkel!! Just saying.

Just want to let yall know, ive never been into scuba diving a day in my life! And LITERALLY because of this channel i have now signed up for a beginners/basics course on open water diving. Starting all the way with my water fitness eval. I thank you all for this new journey.

Woody's smile in these when he is trying to stop himself from smiling is so contagious!

This was so well done. The music, the editing, the acting. 10/10

Never thought I’d see Woody man handle Gus “Gotta start compressions” 😂😂😂

Yep, quite funny and quite true ! You can also add the "techie" diver, fresh of from GUE/TDI/ etc Tech course treating and planning a 10m dive in warm water like its a 150 meter dive and penetration of Andrea Doria in front of the other OW divers, full of disdain for PADI and jacket BCD's and snorkels and split fins and adjustable harness and non Gudmann style lights and on and on. (I never did that I swear, nope, believe me, never ever lol)

The Dive Talk black/white logo at the end of video is epic. Would buy stickers instantly

This is great! Definitely met several of these divers before. I enjoy this, but I also like the reaction videos as well. Reaction videos got you to where you are currently. I'd say keep those up but throw this in like seasoning...a little extra spice here and there never hurt any food. Unless you don't like spice, in which case you're wrong.

Why do I get the feeling that was not the first time gus has wanted to say "call the police" when he was out with Woody? Lol

The "I don't get seasick" guy is good to bring on fishing trips if you want some free chum

LOL The Woody first responder was hilarious! Could see he couldn't wipe the grin off his face either :D

This has been one of my favorite videos you guys have ever done! Had me laughing from start to finish 🤣

"back up snorkel", I just died lol

Awww I lust lost it when Woody continued to hit the free flowing reg 😂 and the card collector was epic Gus!

That was awesome! I was laughing so hard it hurts. That’s what I needed this morning. Laughter makes everything better. You guys are a perfect comedy pair.

Ahaha the never get seasick guy! Always one on the boat. This is great

hahahaha that was amazing! still laughing at back-up snorkel "and your struggling on the surface, check that out" so good

Lmfao what a perfect ending. I bet that last one is the most common. Woody running away so funny

The “know it all” divers are priceless portrayals! Made me lose it, and made my skin crawl at the same time… brilliant. The know it all scientist diver? LMAO! So true! All 4 of you guys got robbed of your Emmys this past weekend. I protest!!

Is it possible Woody and Gus just as funny as they are knowledgeable?! Yes!! Lol Great video!

@ 5:46 is my favorite funny moment LOL = W: "Let me help you! You're so bent!", G: "Call the police!"

Thanks for periodically reminding me that this video is about Scuba Diver Stereotypes

This was the best lunch break laugh I’ve had in a while. 😂😂😂 I don’t dive but I love watching you guys!

You forgot the worst stereotype of all. "The tech/cave diver guy"

The rescue diver bit made me laugh so hard I almost choked on my drink😂I love these videos and have been sending them to my parents (both former divers and now encouraging me to dive too)

You guys wrestling with that music playing gave me strong curb your enthusiasm vibes 🤣

Gus - "sorry I got excited..." Woody - "let me help you!" Haha Great stuff guys keep up the hard work!👍

Literally dying with this channel from laughter! Call the police! Ya'll have been a great entertainment as well as information. Keep up the great work guys! :D

I lost it as soon as woody tries to buddy breathe for Gus with a spare snorkel 🤣.. I needed this laugh guys .. too good 👍

I am not, and never will be, a diver. But because you guys explain things so well I understood these and was able to laugh throughout the entire thing. You guys are great!

I first found this channel from Woody’s extremely serious reaction to the death of Yuri Lipski. Who would imagine they got jokes, love to see it😂😂

Gus - Woody is “bananas”

OMG thank you for mentioning this video Gus, in the Q&A live y'all did! I hadn't seen it yet! I needed the laughs! So much humor to find in the truth and yes ALL of these stereotype divers exist! I'm definitely the card collector😂

"It was only 12 minutes!" "I know... I got excited.." lmaooo you guys are great!

I couldn't stop laughing at this haha, so fricking funny 😂 Good job y'all!

I just love this video so much! Thank you guys. I'm showing it to all our divers haha. Think rescue is my favorite "call the police" but the first one with 2 snorkels is fantastic too! 🤣 love you guys!

1 - The gotta spare joke; it wrote itself to ask for a spare snorkel and you missed it 2 - STD. 😂😂😂 GOLDEN 3 - the grin on woody’s face when trying first aid 😂

Absolute gold. You gotta do more of these! I got 'em all too Gus, SDI, TDI, STD, WWE. 🤜🤛

When it comes to diving lesson/reaction..you guys are so professional with a very clear explanation..to the point..divers or non-divers..were easily get hooked in. But when its comes to videos like this..you guys are also very funny..like a natural-born comedian😆😆 you make us learn and laugh at the same time! It always feel so chill and relax watching you guys.. 🥰🥰

Hel here-how are my boys??That was genuinely hilarious as surprisingly you can act!! Anything you can't do??I'm on holiday in Wales,my home country.No cave diving that I know of but lots of mountains, ancient castles and utter beauty.Im gonna watch it again xx

That was brilliant! My favorite one is the card collector, the way you flick the book to the side as you get it out, to show it off, had me barely able to breath XD

Oh my gosh you two are too funny - So let me get this straight you both are 1) Master divers 2) Amazing commentators 3) Fantastic actors 4) Lovely human beings Am I missing anything? :)

lmao ! ''backup snorkel. What happens if this norkel goes bad? Spare fins someone?? '' Very funny! thanks for the laughs ❤

My favorite is the guy who can't stop dropping his last dive. While diving a plane(Cessna) wreck in 28 feet of water," I'll just use my trimix from last weekends trip to Florida. Bro you should have been there, it was so amazing I forgot to equalize and now can't hear out of my left ear. Totally worth it. "

"it's been 12 minutes?!" lmao i laughed way too hard at this whole video! I have met all of these divers and am definitely the zone out during briefing diver a time or two lol

I love RU-vid bc it really shows you that people take different paths in life like scuba diving but yet look how great they are at talking and creating videos. They could have easy taken a entertaining path. Great videos

I have met every single one of these multiple times 🤣 most common amongst my dive buddies? One uppers and air guzzlers!

Great piece! Thanks for all your energy and knowledge about diving thought I was one of the few divers that was certified S.T.D and P.A,D.I. good to see others who are card carrying S.T.D. wrecked scuba men. Keep up the great work!

My absolute favorite video from DiveTalk!! PLEASE!!! More like this!!

Not a diver but love this channel and wow this was absolutely hilarious, the backup snorkel was so funny

The backup snorkel LMAO

I want to learn scuba diving and I can picture myself being the "I need to bring ALL my gear just in case!" person 🤣

The absolute grin on Woody's face during the I know everything part had me dying 😂

😂😂😂😂The brand new rescue diver Woody insisting on mouth to mouth and chest compressions, stap, I can't no mo 😂😂😂😂😂😂 silly goofy video. Well done, love it

Been playing catch up on videos … needed a good laugh today and this was it … put a big old smile on this here face 🥴…. 😀 thanks guys!

The rescue diver part took my breath away haha

You guys are killing it with the content. Love your personalities, sense of humor, guests... Its all great. Plus informative and makes me want to dive more! SDI...TDI...STDS... I have it all! 😂😹😂

"I got my light, my back up light and on top of that I always wanna have a light..." had me in tears

"What happens if this snorkel goes bad?" 😂🤣😂. Awesome stuff guys!

Best Vid Yet! "I'm thirsty" , "you're so bent"Love it

I love seeing woody and Gus out doing what they love together makes matching 100 times better

You guys actually pulled this off pretty well, pretty funny, nice change from the usual, not that I don't love your reaction videos! Awesome stuff guys!

Hahha excellently executed you guys, very funny. You know what? Never dived, never even dip a toe into the water, but after following your channel for about 6 weeks now, I got the humour, as you guys explain things so well, I was able to follow it. All very funny ☺️👍🏻

"Sti , tdi, Std, everything" Dead

The Snorkel buddy breathing!!! hahaha

“I’m a certified rescuer! You are _so bent!_ Call the police!” This video is absolutely amazing, I can’t stop laughing 😆

This is the perfect description of all divers!!! Known them all already. Keep up the good work and good dives!

2:05 hahaha I got certified today with my friend, and while we were on the surface every 20 seconds I would hear SSSSSSSSSS and look over, and he’s panicking with his regulator.

I can say that down in south Florida we very rarely get asked if we are wreck certified. Most of my buddies would laugh, however we are all spearo so we are a different breed than the more precise cautious divers.

Here's an extra one one of my dive masters use on their boat: "Bungee Diver". The guy who forgets to remove the bungee chord from the tank before putting all his gear on and ends up struck to the bench.

I love the can of chunky cambells soup behind the guy in the dramamean part lol
