[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

Yeah. There are a lot of channels that seem to clickbait the horrible nature, but here it's just presented with context and gradually, allowing the audience to form an opinion before talking us through it's conclusion. Somethings keeping things ambiguous enough so people approaching the events for the first time aren't entirely sure what's going, all without needless embellishment. We are adults after all, we should know what is/isn't horrible. It's both relaxing and, despite the subject matter, not at all morbid. Just educational.

[@morningsgone]

My dad has a very similar story. He was ice diving when his tether got unhooked. He swam around for a bit before realising he was no longer connected and had no idea where the hole they had entered from was. He did however know where the shore was and being late winter thought maybe he could break through the ice as it got thinner. After struggling for some time and failing to break through he stopped, wrote a note his wife (I wasn’t born yet), and pulled out his knife. He had decided that it would be faster to cut his throat and bleed out than to drown. Before he did he decided to try one last time, took all of his gear off, burrowed his way to as shallow as he could possibly get, got his knees underneath him and started pushing and finally broke through. It would not surprise me at all that somebody else came to same conclusion as my dad and decided if the couldn’t get out they’d end it themselves.

For me, the nastiest cave diving death was Peter Verhulsel. He got lost cave diving and was found dead six weeks later in an unknown, unexplored area of the cave. He'd survived three weeks in the dark on a lump of rock, and had starved to death. He even wrote a farewell note in some sand/grit near his body. I have the heebie-jeebies every time I think about it... it's nightmarish to think of being alone in the cold and dark for three weeks...

[@Hopeskyesk]

I’d read somewhere that the wall of the cave he was in was actually super thin and if he would’ve tried hard enough he could’ve broken the wall and escaped which makes his story extra sad and horrifying

[@ArtistCreek]

Yeah but he REPEATEDLY left the guidelines and his diver buddy. He jist did whatever he wanted. He f'd around and found out

[@PrometheanRising]

Yeah, that is the worst of these stories that I have heard. It was made especially egregious because he was recovered via the non-submerged part of the cave. If the authorities had not already decided that he must be dead, the cavers who found his body would have probably found him in time to save him.

[@mbence]

As a diver it was kinda obvious to me what gonna happen after the very begining of the video. Diving is very safe, if you do what you trained for and keep very basic rules. -He can get gas narcosis at that dept, he drank alcohol before, so it increase the chance of gas narcosis. He mentioned that hes not an experienced diver so i guess than hes not cave certified, and he also dont have the certification for the dept he dived. -He used a single silinder for a deep dive. -He dived an unfamiliar place. These things add up and lead to a fathal dead.

[@restitvtororbis5330]

The mystery isn't that he went diving and was found dead in a cave, the mystery is why he had a knife sticking out of his chest. All the things you explained are correct, but none of them provide any answers for the knife in his chest. I'm assuming the alcohol combined with nitrogen narcosis caused him to panic enough that he decided to stab himself rather than drown.

My #1 Golden rule of diving: Don't go diving.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

For ANYONE... Just don't dive past your certifications. This isn't difficult, and WILL keep you relatively safe. Diving isn't a "wild west sport" anymore. We have tons of good tech' and solid, reliable equipment to diminish risk to a vanishing rarity... BUT it comes with rules and procedures and there is NO room for forgiveness. If that means you just don't put the tanks on for a class, then, yes... Don't ever dive. If you want to go on an adventure and see something or do something new, GET CERTIFIED FIRST. Take the courses, buy the equipment you need, LEARN for realzies how to do it. Then dive within your certifications. They have the classes and certifications all the way out through technical deep diving on Trimix instead of air. Diving on rebreathers INCLUDING rebreathers with trimix... Hard cover diving for shipwrecks and caverns... AND as far as deep cave exploration, where YOU are the first ever to go into a cave, and YOU are ultimately responsible for laying lines and arrows for navigation... Once you've found your "level of adventure" you always remember "Plan your dive, and Dive your PLAN." as they say... AND by diving WITHIN your knowledge, skills, and certifications/courses, you just won't put yourself into more danger than you're ready to bargain for. MK was hopelessly untrained and inexperienced. He had NO BUSINESS diving any cave, let alone one as supposedly "advanced" as the Poganica Bay Cave... It's as simple as that. ;o)

[@vivigarr]

The more stories I listen to the more interested I become in caving - non aquatic that is. It seems like it would be a really cool experience. These videos also help to show how dangerous it can be, and how things go wrong in ways you could never expect and why safety should always be the first priority.

[@llamamanism]

I’m surprised all these stories are about incidents in caves, there must be a great deal of people who have had problems inside shipwrecks as well. Wrecks have similar silty conditions inside and when the wreck is lying on its side the walls become the floor and the staircases go sideways so it’s really disorientating. There are often cables hanging down and sharp bits of rusty metal to entangle and cut you. Some of my most scary diving moments involve wrecks

[@davesmith5656]

Just a suggestion: since the labyrinth of tunnels plays a central role in all this, is there no map showing a horizontal view of that?

[@jasonjones7461]

I've seen some 3d maps of caves. Im used to playing games like the Metroid Prime Trilogy and even I'm baffled by how twisty and complex they are. I use that as comparison because of how much the 3d cave maps resemble the in game maps. Esp some areas in Prime 1 where you are exploring underwater sections, you can't see anything and the map feels useless. I can't imagine doing that irl

[@davesmith5656]

@@jasonjones7461 ---- Not to negate you, that some cave are very complex, but some videos have shown maps, like one of some Mexican sink hole complex incident. Divers took a wrong turn and ran out of air. It looked like a one-level cave, or a "ranch house style cave" (joke). There was a recent video showing a kind of "double 'U' shape" mostly vertical formation, that made it clear how divers got stuck at the bottom of a "U".

How many more remasters are you planning on doing?

[@georgie3611]

I wonder if hes gonna start remastering his videos again when hes done.

[@XxBattlesnipexX]

@@georgie3611 I feel like these remasters are becoming a little unnecessary.

[@georgie3611]

@@XxBattlesnipexX I find myself missing new videos thinking they're remasters. And putting old stories in new videos along new stories left a bad taste in my mouth

[@XxBattlesnipexX]

@@georgie3611 yeah same here, he should put (remaster) in title. The way they are titled you would think they are new videos like you said.

ayo! 44 seconds!!! love your videos dude~

[@jaelee1159]

When you say “she knew , something was terribly wrong .” It’s like music to my ears. Puts me right to sleep . Thank you .

[@Oinkiepiggy]

Exactly. Right when you know it's about to get bad is great zzz material

[@Loveyamellows]

Promise that when you’ll get bigger (not if), the quality and dedication to the channel will stay unchanged!!! U R Awesome!!

[@dianne11ca]

i am happy to second that!

[@marckay4489]

Hey Sean. I really enjoyyour videos. Could you please do 2 or 3 per week? Im joking, since im sure it takes much time to do just one given its professional appearance. In fact your show is well higher quality that many that are on TV produced by very large companies! I just cant get wnough of these and when i discovered this channel, i practically watched all of them in one week! Going through some tough times and this show takes my mind off things and cheers me up. Also you have an excellent voice in narrating. You remind me of a very popular searies in the 90s called The New Detectives, Case Studies in Forensic Technology. That show stopped suddenly because the narrator got sick and passed away. He also had a very perfect voice for narrating. Almost every show currently being aired the narrator just doesnt have such a great voice which is interupting while trying to listen. Yours is smooth and clear with just the right pauses and inflection! Thanks again, a huge fan, Marc K!

[@casedistorted]

Did you do MK’s story once before about the diver they found with a knife in his chest? I seem to remember a story very similar to this not too long ago on this channel

[@Hippo_27]

I do too. I have no idea, but my guess is that he reuploaded the story to reflect updated information regarding the story.

[@theedmee]

@@Hippo_27 Mr Ballen covered that story in depth, including using MK's full name. Apparently this person here likes to 'remaster' their prior work vs. do more research.

[@theultimategamer3228]

I’ve listened to a lot of these cave stories but this one definitely gave me more anxiety than any other idk why

[@POLARTTYRTM]

I heard this story before and doesn't matter how many times it's explained, it's painfully confusing and it's a maze of its own. Truly one of the weirdest unsolved mysteries because it has several explanations which are very possibly true, we just don't know which one is.

[@beckra7420]

"The man was diving.." You had me hooked at these words 😂

[@brian1291]

And here we are, finding entertainment is people's tragedies 😓.......oh well, keep these videos coming!!

Man I’m only 3 videos into your channel and I Found my new binge Dude I love your content

[@bobdole1570]

If any of my friends even remotely tried to get me to “cave dive” I’m gonna sock em in the gut. There is just NO WAY dude. That’s terrifying.

[@flufflewarrior]

0:06 I will *never* understand people who see this and be like: "Let's get it!"

[@kyebii]

Love the details would love more going on visually though.

[@albatrossfeatherton]

Stay out of caves.

[@DanH34]

People with a death-wish be like: 'I'll just swim into this huge, pitch-black labyrinth of underwater tunnels for recreational purposes, while breathing narcotic gas."

[@jayyrod1]

Concerning the two that were detained by authorities... Sounds like they were guilty until proven innocent with all those ifs, buts, and maybes 🤔

[@grmasdfII]

I mean, they used polygraphs...of course they aren't firing on all cylinders.

[@jayyceanthony]

so obsessed with this videos and idek why these videos scare me so much sometimes yet ive seen every last one on this channel😭

[@jayyceanthony]

morbid curiosity i guess

[@craigmeyer6957]

Didn’t you already make a video on this diving accident?

[@vortexhornet7518]

Yes I think he’s just out of cave stories considering that tragedies don’t happen that often

[@Lornext]

"Im here to search for a body... Let me just leave this safetyline into the darkness!" What a braindead move.

[@jase123111]

I was so obvious what happened....a mermaid murdered him.
