YIKES!...Imagine going back trying to get out of an underwater cave only to find out the cave collapsed trapping you inside...that's exactly what happened to veteran cave explorer Robbie Schmittner a few years ago in Mexico.

I love that Woody specifies that the cave narrows to "not even as big as his human body." Perhaps this is to differentiate it from his fish body, because we all know that Woody occasionally shape-shifts into a fish, who would have no trouble getting through that restriction.

Id say its so intense to see him tell the story with his eyes closed and reaching out to the rock, like i knew he could literally relive that horrific event second for second and i felt so bad that happened to him. You could tell it really left him with a different view of life itself (as near death experiences do). Love you guys! I really love how you two break things down. Im so glad he’s ok and got out!

This reminds me of the time I was a kid and hiking with my friend and his dad, we stopped a minute to rest near the edge of this huge drop off with one chunk of land protruding about half way down the cliff face. My kid brain jokingly asked his dad what would happen if I tried to jump and slide down to the little chunk, without hesitation he looked me right in the eyes and murmurs “well I think you’d be SOL” his son asked what that is he says “well it means shit outta luck” we got a really good chuckle out of hearing him curse and I never really thought much about what he had said until the first time I had almost drowned a few years later. Like the smooth brained ape I am I got stuck swimming through the rungs of our pool ladder after repeatedly being told not to do said thing but managed to get myself out somehow. I just remember realizing about halfway through being stuck that what his dad said to us that day was in fact not just a funny quote, but a feeling with a lot of remorseful emotion behind it. I’d imagine it’s probably a little bit of what he felt that day, and god would I never wish that kind of fear upon anyone. I’m so happy he was able to get out of that alive

Drowning is a terrible feeling. I remember being drunk and trying to swim across a lake I made it almost half way before realizing I wasn’t going to make it to the other end. So I turned around and literally started panicking as I was going down I was getting close enough to shore I could bounce up for air off rocks on the bottom. But yeah scary feeling and I remember just laying on the beach for like 3 hours unable to move when I made it. 😂 many lessons learned that day

I have bad eyes and night blindness is among the problems. Late one night I took a shortcut home on foot. It was okay at first because there was some traffic lighting the way. But then it all disappeared and I was suddenly in darkness like a cave with no lights and not even any useful sound to navigate by. I usually see well enough that I don't need a cane and am not accustomed to suddenly seeing nothing at all. I had the unusual sensation that I was floating in space even though I could feel the ground under my feet. Then I started walking into trees which didn't feel good, but also a reminder I was in an area where there were potentially animals, and since it was Montana, animals could include, wolves, moose, grizzly bears, lions, and the greater carnivorous land octopus. Eventually I spotted a light which didn't illuminate anything, just a pinprick of like in solid blackness. I walked another mile toward it and got back to the land of street lights. I imagine those guide ropes are comforting in a silted out cave like that pin prick of light. Still do you start worrying what may be in the cave with you, like some as yet unknown animal or a dead body or that you somehow grabbed the wrong line? Or maybe the real question is how do you keep your imagination reigned in?

It's a pretty long path to getting to cave diving. You'll want to start off with an open water qualification first and see how you get on with enjoying that. Your closest PADI shop will likely be fine but I'd just like to say, when choosing people to train you, try to make sure the people are professional enough such that you'd trust your life to them. I know people often try to train while abroad on holidays where health and safety isn't taken so seriously and its a big risk to take when they throw you straight in the sea for a first dive experience.

I can’t imagine that rock closing what you think is your only way out, amazing that he found that other exit! I have what is probably a stupid question, if y’all don’t mind. I remember y’all saying in other videos that y’all aren’t cave explorers. I know you’d obviously have to be a trained cave diver to do it. What I was wondering, is there training for cave exploring that differs from cave diving? I mean, I’d assume so, but knowing that exploring means nobody else has dove in these caves, is there a way to prepare for that? Also, a huge thanks for showing us an actual silt out! That was intense to watch! Y’all had the perfect analogy for it in another video, that using your flashlight during a silt out does as much good as using your high beams in fog, no help whatsoever! Lastly, a while back from a video y’all did, I learned the difference between diving spring and siphon. Seeing particles go by Woody back towards the entrance made me think of this. A while ago, I saw a video of a guy diving a siphon in Tampa. It was crazy seeing how strong it was by the different particles going by him at what I thought was a pretty good speed. Even if I was a certified cave diver, there’s no way I’d do that. Think about any of the videos you’ve reacted to where something went wrong during the dive. Now, you’d not only be trying to get out of whatever bad situation it is, but you’re also trying to get out of there, while fighting a current that’s trying to push you further in. No thanks! Sorry for the long comment, I truly appreciate your time! Oh, and as always, great video!

Woody n Gus Thanks for all the great work on cave diving education. I'm not planning on becoming a cave diver but there is some parallels between cave diving and wreck diving that us "just" open water divers can learn from. Boyancy control is lacking in many that haven't been in silty locations. Lake Steinberg in Germany would be silted out with just regular fin kicking or time of the year. Looking back on it I'm glad my first open water dives was in them conditions. My first dive visibility of maybe a half meter. I almost quit after that one, but I pushed though and completed my open water certification. Second point is I feel that most of the U-tube vids on Scuba diving are full of b.s. and I've found your channel and few others worthy of watching. I'm one of the odd ones out on using metric system for diving here in USA so the meters made sense to me. 😉

I live in cave city KY. EVERY YEAR, IN SCHOOL, WE ALWAYS WENT ON A FIELD TRIP TO A CAVE. I WAS ALWAYS SCARED, and every time, I was told the same thing. “This cave has been here for hundreds of years. It’s not going to cave in.” In my mind, I always thought the same thing. Hundreds, or thousands of years, means ANYDAY NOW, this thing is going to CAVE IN! It can, and does happen! A cliff facing, just fell off, and killed people, in Brazil. This is why I can never cave dive! I can’t even go in a cave, above water! As unlucky as this guy was, he was way more lucky! It left an opening! That is not typical! Usually, it covers the opening. That is, if you don’t get crushed by the cave in!

I mean I plan to open water dive for quite a bit before I attempt anything like this, but call me insane now I guess because I want to dive a cave (trained only, I have learned lol). Thanks for sharing the video Woody! Cool to watch for sure, and it makes silt outs less intimidating. It was great quality by the way GoPro. 📷 Have a great day everybody!

Man, Woody's video really makes you imagine the panic of facing a siltout without the proper training and equipment. Horrific way to die!

wow I have been hooked on these videos it makes me have a great respect for divers and to remember to try not to panic in zero visibility well done and Woody made it look easy as he was going in first trying not to kick up the silt

I had literally no interest in going diving or learning the skill (not for any particular reason, it just hasn't been on my list of things to do), then I ran into you guys by the algorithm recommending your series you've done on the crazy guys "diving" in Chernobyl. That spectacle aside, ever since then I've gone on to watch your other diving videos such as this one that are more advice/tip oriented, and I have to say you guys have really got me interested in wanting to learn at some point! Keep up the excellent content!

20:15 - Wow, fossils? Looks like a Giant Clam. See the wavy edges? A mussel or oyster beneath it, (top 1/2 of shell missing.) Possibly a fossilized animal footprint (canid?) as well...this was likely part of an ancient sea shore...buried millennia ago. (The little lines could be leaf/stick impressions.) Nice video guys! My questions: 1) Bubbles made the rock fall on the line? If so, my humble question is...why do cave divers make bubbles anymore? I thought rebreathers prevented all of them? (I saw Woody's RB make some...could you explain when/why this occurs? Thanks!) 2) Is there any talk of sonar-for-divers being invented yet? I feel like safety is about to improve 5,000%, and we'll be talking about the "good ol days when it was dangerous!" Seems like heads-up displays on your mask could show you a line-grid 3d picture of where cave walls are. Your wristwatch making dolphin sounds could map the cave, with a cpu/computer on your arm creating the 3d image...I'm a bit surprised they're not invented already. I'm sure football-sized submersibles will map out caves mostly first, before divers ever enter (in the future.) Any talk in the industry of this in the works? (It is for firefighters to see through smoke, LIDAR.) 3) Can we say "diven" is the new past-tense of "a cave where diving has taken place" before? Coin it! You guys are the best! Can't wait for your next vid.

Man to be the person that explored the cave and laid the line in those tight Restrictions not knowing if it’s a dead end or opens up or gets tighter…. Nerves of steel. Good job woody. Excellent “trim and buoyancy” 😂🏆

I've been going through a pretty rough time lately, won't get into it. These videos help take my mind off things - something about Woody and Gus is very reassuring! I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable or embarrassed, but I just wanted to let you know. God bless.

Diving and exploring caves will be a must have skill if we ever decide to become a multi-planetary spices. On other planets the cave systems might be the only habitat area for us to live in.

moral of this story: zero vis is not an issue in and of itself. with a line, you’re good. but if there’s some other issue that makes it so you don’t know the way (lost the line, etc) you might have a real issue. and we are generally highly reliant on our vision, so adding zero vis on top of any panic-inducing situation is for sure only going to make you more panicked.
