"We shut all of our lights and sat down in the dark just listening to the water drops" - this only tells me how strong is your passion for cave diving :) wonderful! Lying on the rocks that make the heart of Earth, where no sunlight shines. Must've been a striking experience.

[@alek-by7rm]

I am not a cave diver yet, but I know that feeling from when I stay with days underground. One of the most peaceful experiences ever!

[@faheema6736]

alek why do you stay underground and where ?

[@alek-by7rm]

@@faheema6736 Well, I am exploring a big cave and I have to stay there because only the way to the new passage takes us one or more days. Of course there are some sumps, but we can't explore them because it's almost impossible to haul all the diving gear there.

@gareth5000 I have the same thoughts almost everytime I watch cave diving, or regular caving ((I don't know the right term)). I always hope they'll do like a part 2 that shows them going further past where they had to stop before. I KNOW that realistically it's not always positive.

[@souravsinha3157]

The walls of the air filled tunnel indicates that water flows through them or has flowed though them at some point. Isn't it unsafe that the divers leave their gear behind and explore around when there could be a sudden surge in water level in these tunnels?

[@PoorLittlePig]

+Sourav Sinha I think they have some ponybottles with them

[@magpie7791]

Sourav Sinha no its winter when the snow melts the cave will fill. it flows out of the gravel (conglomerate) they keep an eye on the weather so they don't get caught out

[@airman6937]

Sourav Sinha I feel like a lack of oxygen would be more dangerous

[@Flamefart8]

40E Well the problem isn't lack of oxygne, it could also be if it is pure oxygen, which can be deadly

[@airman6937]

Flamefart8 there is no way that air is pure oxygen. Also, pure oxygen is not deadly, you are breathing something like 99% oxygen in scuba tanks

[@MadMenPlays]

Erick McGee I'd kill myself

[@academyracer]

A well trained cave diver will never dive without a buddy, and each person will have at least 3 lights, so there's a lot of redundancy for things like that.

[@speleokeir]

Actually in Britain it's standard to dive solo because the passages tend to be tight and full of sediment so after one diver has been through visibility is often zero. They may dive with one or two other cave divers but they leave large gaps e.g. 10-30 mins between divers to allow the sediment to settle, so basically you're on your own. US cave divers are normally trained to dive in threes if they're in large passages with fantastic visibility like the blue holes in Florida or the Bahamas. The idea is that you can buddy breathe if someones equipment fails. As you say it's standard for cave divers to have at least two of every system (except their dry suit) in case of any problems. And similarly to dive on the "thirds rule". i.e. a 1/3 of your air on the way in, a 1/3 on the way out and a 1/3 for emergencies. If using scooters you need to increase that margin in case the scooter fails.

[@horcrux9656]

Or worse imagine something happen with tube and can’t breath through it

[@jamesrimes2870]

Imagine you flashlight goes out, and then you hear someone else in the cave。

[@NordProduktion]

That's Right after the spring flood that will flood the whole tunnel, new air from the outside will penetrate cracks in the ceiling. If the ceiling would be air tight, the water would stay in the tunnel because of the pressure. The water level is the same as at the entrance.

[@DeathValleyDebbie]

[@dailyfermentations7197]

will the breathable air in there eventually run out, or does it somehow replenish itself from the oxygen in the water?

[@credence7777777]

only if you smoke a joint there

[@d.r.7691]

This is something I would like to know as well.

[@dailyfermentations7197]

[@geometricart7851]

I would think the limestone would actually take away the Co2 over time like a sponge.

[@MichaelOnYourSix]

Angelo Santelli not sure if what these guys are saying rings true, but common training is to not breathe air in air pockets in overhead environments. Because you can't be sure of the content of the gas unless you have a analyzer, its best to stay breathing your tank air, however it's perfectly fine to take your reg out of your mouth and you can talk back and forth. Just don't breathe the trapped air, it could knock you out, and is a easy and stupid way to die.

[@skeeter7932]

[@wildannugroho_plus]

it's so cool and thrilling experience, dude. great work! by the way, If that an air-trapped-pocket cave tunnel, does that "room" have higher pressure than normal? you can try to figure out the pressure there because if it doesnt, it means that there is another secret passage from that tunnel which is connected to outer world, up there. The reason is "the room" is capable to equalize the pressure to atmospheric despite the fact that is trapped between two water tunnel. I am just curious

[@clattereffect]

Absolutely fascinating. I've always wanted to scuba dive, but not cave diving. I have a phobia of being in tight spaces. No human has ever seen the inside of this cave until now and because of modern technology people around the globe can see it too! Thanks for sharing the experience!

Wow thank you all for this amazing video!

[@geza96]

Always keep your air on you. You never know when the water may rise unexpectedly

[@templarzrise5086]

I think the only way the water could have flooded in that pocket is if there was a crack formed reaching either another water source or opened up to the ground level. The pressure was preventing the cave to flood. Take a cup and turn it upside down and force it into the water, the only way water can fill up is by drilling a hole into the cup or turning the cup upside down. But yeah you're right, if an earthquake were to happen and caused a crack leading to the topside...they would have been in trouble.

[@subsume7904]

@@templarzrise5086 you can tell water flows through the entire cave, look at the walls. This cave fills with water when the snow melts, that's why they were able to take their gear off without worrying.

[@callummoloney8709]

@@templarzrise5086 If a crack did form very suddenly, the cave would also very violently and suddenly fill with water.

[@shamrick1483]

Stupendous video. Very, very well done. I've done some cave diving. But, never gone to that "edge" of a passage where you have to remove the tanks from your back (tight squeeze). Many do that sort of thing. But, the danger level rises as complications such as that are involved. I loved it that the loose soil/gravel on the floor of the cave did not cause an abundance of silt...clouding vision. The absence of that type of hindrance to visibility mitigates for safety of the dive.

its practically all ice, possibly either created by winter and wont be same during summer or its melting permafrost.

[@NordProduktion]

1. “The secret” is flooded every springtime. After the flood new air enters through cracks in the ceiling. 2. The walls, floor and ceiling is marble limestone and and is shaped of the water flow during thousands of years. CO2 in the water makes it a bit acidic and sand in the water scrape the walls through turbulence in the water flow. 3. Limestone and I think the black parts is called slate. You can see how the limestone has tilted from flat to almost vertical through millions of years.
