Certified full cave in 2000 and I didn’t set foot onto Eagles Nest property for 13 years …. Well worth the wait and the experience I gained in that 13 years of actively cave diving was priceless when I made my first dives at the Nest !!!

[@Stephanie-we5ep]

So, do you suppose so many are impatient to, well ---- dive into caves, out of arrogance ("I'm an instructor" or "I'll be fine if I only go a little ways in" or whatever they say to justify doing the thing that they're explicitly warned not to do) or ?? They are warned not to go into caves without proper training, and *still* they do it. edited to add, it's like they lose track of the basic truth that water isn't our world. The fact that we merely *visit* an alien (in the sense that water is deadly unless we bring air/gas), is part of the reason that people dive.

[@cavediver2561]

By that point I had several hundred cave dives and quite a few certifications beyond “Full Cave”… Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Trimix 1, Trimix 2 … just to name a few. Things were much different then than they are now though …. Primarily, rebreathers weren’t in common usage then so everything was done with open circuit equipment

[@sekainiheiwa3650]

depth is always whispering : come come 😅

[@dannyphantom121]

Wow, u got cave certified 2 years before I was born.

[@FoundInTheRiverAndCaves]

Gus, you are looking very healthy! Great job with whatever you are doing. Your reaction to our Eagles Nest visit in 2020, coupled with the loss of our friend last year REALLY gives me some haunting time to reflect. I just hope that more and more people can grasp what you are telling them better than we did, before they experience a VERY TOUGH lesson. As we gain experience in our diving, many do feel a sense of "Oh, I'll just go do this real quick...". It is too damn easy to fall into that mentality and justify or minimize things that we just SHOULD NOT DO. We have found ourselves victims of preventable circumstances and unfortunately, you don't see it coming until it has gone past the point of no return. I just pray that new divers and newly certified cave divers will be more diligent than we were and heed your advice.

[@awkwardautistic]

That video was about your friend? I'm sorry 💜

[@anthonypalazzi6255]

Rest in peace to you friend man. ❤

[@FoundInTheRiverAndCaves]

@@anthonypalazzi6255 thank you so much. This weekend will be the 1year anniversary of his passing. It still hits pretty hard.

[@rosac8168]

Wow sorry for your lost as a nY’r from Manhattan and now resident of FL I was really hoping for the best 😢

[@FoundInTheRiverAndCaves]

@@awkwardautistic this video was not about my friend but hits very close to home with his passing. Thank you for your condolences.

[@reactivereplays5666]

You guys are great man. I wouldn't worry about what others THINK. Those that watch and have ANY amount of empathy can see that both Gus and Woody go above and beyond to show humility and say "this is what I would do" or "We don't know what all they knew". ANYONE with empathy can see you are both good guys. You can't please everybody.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Its amazing how gay men like woody have so much more empathy than most straight dudes that still have toxic masculinity

[@Oheeeoh]

Woody's chair voted the most comfy on KZbin, 2023.

[@Daughter_ofStars]

You guys have become my comfort channel. I love learning from you both, your commentary is great, and it's nice to hear a friendly voice when I'm down or stressed. Thank you both for all that you do!

[@filledepieuvre]

Same !!!

[@KatieCross]

Same. 🩷

[@Hossak]

I work in mining and every procedure and rule we have is there for a reason. Unfortunately a great many of them have injuries/tragedies behind them. It is sad when people find out the hard way why some rules are there. RIP to the two poor men and condolences to their loved ones.

[@jamsstar2010]

My chief engineer got his arm ripped off by a water tight door on a container ship He thought it was opening but it wasnt After he said he had made a small lapse of concentration and not followed the correct procedure They open and lock and the green light goes on, always follow procedures

[@matthewchristopher16]

You guys are awesome! I have a huge fear of all things water related and you guys through your confidence, storytelling and overall enthusiasm on the subject of diving has made me feel a calmness I've never had. Definitely hope that one day I can get into this sort of thing. Can't wait to see you guys grow in popularity!!!

[@davidcaldwell8362]

Eagles nest is a different level of Florida cave diving. The depth is really the biggest hurdle. Dives to 300+ feet require training beyond just full cave. It’s a bucket list dive for me, but I know I have many more cave dives and much more training before even planning this dive. I’ve been diving for 20 years, but this is definitely beyond my skill level.

[@stellaltumi]

it's so unfortunate what happened but I appreciate you guys turning these things into teachable moments, it's important to bring awareness to these things and also to give more context to people who may not be as familiar with it. thank you! ❤

[@emoryzakin2576]

I gotta say I'm not even remotely interested in becoming a diver but I love watching your videos. It is entertaining in something very technical and unfamiliar that I find interesting. Love y'all's work it is obviously your passion!

[@lauraf2101]

Long time lurker, first time commenting. I love listening to you two exactly because you are humble, cautious and polite in your commentary and focus on education and safety, not criticising individuals. Thank you for your commentary! Keep it up, it is excellent.

[@brentgibison3823]

I can get over Gus’s transformation!! You look awesome dude keep up the good work..

[@bobibest89]

Cave diving is exactly like venturing into a massive labyrinth with a time limit. If you don't find the exit before the time runs out you're dead.

[@Dandeb19]

I've watched so many of your videos & I've never gotten the impression that you think you're better, know more, whatever. I don't dive yet but when I decide to do, I'm so 100% sure that following the rules will be my #1 goal during all diving activities. Your channel is amazing, entertaining, very informative and really fun. You teach every video. You've shown your mistakes for us to learn from also when you didn't need to. So your YT family absolutely thanks you for this excellent quality channel. ❤

[@lolacakez576]

I’ve been watching you guys everyday since I randomly stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago. Thanks for the great content! I’m not a diver and I’ve never been interested in diving but now I’m hooked. Maybe one day I’ll take a recreational diving class but for now I’ll stick to telling my husband random diving fact’s I’ve learned from my pals Gus & Woody!

[@FluffyBunnyArsenal]

The way you feel about diving responsibilities, is the way I feel about firearm responsibility. America was founded on freedoms. Enjoyed the video. As a past certified cave rescuer, and a LONG time ago, certified PADI diver (although I only went a couple times after cert.), I always wanted to combine the two, but never did. I guess I'll live vicariously through your channel. lol.

[@griffincontracting]

@Fluffy Bunny Arsenal

[@folkblues4u]

What makes your critique valid is it always points to how breaking from fundamentals can be the most dangerous thing you can do. In almost every case, some aspect of the fundamental do & don't leads to a chain reaction that results in a fatality. So, being strict fundamentalists, you're able to recognize why those practices are necessary and provide insight into how they could've prevented tragedy. Never have i taken your opinions as judgments. They're simply a reminder of why we have such standards in an activity with so little margin for error. So I'm glad you two serve to analyze and explain to prevent future losses.

[@DivinityBleu]

I've had some things going on lately and haven't been to your channel for a bit, and WOW Gus, you look wonderful! Seems like you've slimmed down and just look generally healthier. Not that you didn't look good before, but I know how tough it can be to get any weight to budge and try to build more muscle, ESPECIALLY once you've gone beyond your 20's and early 30's. Congrats for what I'm sure is a well earned change for the better! It's always motivational to see others getting healthier, particularly in the face of the dark "pandemic" BS the world has just been through. Woody and yourself are so amazing to listen to. You can ALWAYS count on some smiles and good vibes here at Dive Talk! Some of us aren't divers at all, so please don't apologize for breaking things down to the details. People like me couldn't get a good mental grasp on the topic, otherwise. It's important. Love to both of you and yours!

[@nicholasorth3843]

I dont' dive and never have, but it is endlessly interesting. I love listening to and learning from you guys. almost a daily channel visit for me. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@bigd2829]

Obsess over the little details - DJ Shipley (former navy seal) You guys are awesome and I love that you talk about the little details, you have to if you want get to that higher level of performance, and that goes for anything in life. Awesome video as always ✌️

[@jraney69]

Regardless of your regardless of your own skill level as cave divers, you guys have a natural ability to communicate through this medium. I'm not even a diver. Just enjoy listening to your discussions. You guys are very skilled doing this show.

[@cheekarp2180]

My understanding of cave diving is that there is no room for 'mavericks' or risk takers. It is a long studied and practiced hobby that has build up a set of ridged rules and lore that must be followed to the letter, there is no wriggle room. But cave diving really does show how humans are, we have accidents, make mistakes and take risks. However much more information gets put in the rule book there will sadly be deaths every year due to humans being human. Sad they died, they never intended it, the fear and feeling of isolation must have been crushing.

[@beebester4106]

Great video guys, some really good points with the sometimes caves can be safer. I can't say I've ever looked at it that way.

[@phatwombat4241]

I love you guys talking us through the videos, it clarifies what is going on and I’m sure I would not learn as much if you just sat there!

[@jeskeepinitreal]

Ginnie Springs is part of the spring fed flow that blesses North Central Florida. It was a float down the Itchetucknee, a swim with manatees. Ponce deLeon called this cool fresh flow through a sweaty salty land...the fountain of youth.

[@brentleone8340]

Yes I think I've watched all of your videos even joined being a member to see what other ones are there you guys are hilarious and love watching your videos keep em coming guys

[@rozalinenelhams8307]

I would rather Gus or Woody pause things to explain things. Than not to pause things or talk over the video. Great video as always love learning.

[@slickrtm]

I remember the very first time I went into a cavern in blue grotto. The fear of not having clear skies above you is real and sets in fast!

[@ihti20]

Mount Everest of underwater caves is located in Czech, called Hranicka Abyss (or Propast'). I'd say it's even beyond Everest, 'cause, literally, no one can reach the bottom. Recently they've sent ROV/AUV robot, it reached somewhere about 1500 feet, but the cave goes farther, it's not the end! They will modify the robot, but this cave can go like 10x deeper, than the Eagles nest cave! It might even bottomless, literally. The water there is highly carbonated and acidic, which makes it extremely difficult and dangerous for exploration.

[@djohnson9083]

Mr Deified always puts up tragedy themed videos. I appreciate your take on this one and all the others you discuss. It lets viewers have a balanced view on the tragedies. There is more than one way to think

[@RockHudrock]

Whenever they show a grainy picture of you, you know you’re dead.

[@ramathorn82]

Your comments is what makes these videos extra awesome. I don’t dive, never have and never will. I am afraid of big body of water. When I’m in a plane and on top of big body of water I don’t look out the window. But I find your videos to be entertaining, funny, and educating. I found your channel through Mr Ballen.

[@toupac3195]

I love Mr Defied.... long time subscriber. He usually covers mountain / dry cave disasters.

[@griffincontracting]

His voice grates on my nerves. I think it's the vocal fry.

[@sciencewizard8805]

I actually like listening to you say how important it is to just stay calm, asses situation, and rely on your training if something goes wrong. I'm a little surprised I like listening to it despite having seen many of your videos.

[@Sobergirl_]

I couldn’t go snorkeling. Yet alone cave dive. I tried snorkeling in the Keys close to shore and just to get use to it. Swam out and all the sudden the ground disappeared and it was a void. I had reached a cliff like edge. I freaked out and began swimming towards the shore. That’s when I knew… nope. Now I’m scared of the ocean. Too big and unpredictable. I’m good on land. I enjoy these videos though.

[@williamyoste2812]

One thing I’ve learned in 3 years of listening to both of y’all. Never break any of the cave dive rules. Ever

[@elliesharp401]

I love that you have this channel to educate and learn (unfortunately) from others mistakes but it essentially can save alot of lives. It’s not narcissistic, your approach is Humble, sensitive and very informative 😊

[@MackenzieNerdyEMT]

The remaining calm and handling the situation logically reminds me of being an EMT. You absolutely cannot panic or the situation would get out of control very quickly.

[@theKorkk]

As a guy who has 0 interest in cave diving myself i appreciate the matter of fact frankness that you use to explain cave diving

[@benninger123]

Both u are very smart in the way that u follow every rule to cave diving , plus u stay together in an effort to look after each other. It's like riding a sports bike all your life , if you want to survive riding your motorcycle for 20 or 30 years is that you have to follow certain rules , like not coming over a blind hil going 250 or 300 km per hour. That's one of the most important rules , I know at least 10 guys that died coming blind over a hill and boom , someone pulling out of there driveway or doing a u-turn. Every sport or Hobbie a person does there are rules involved . It's like I'm not wearing a life vest because it's not cool. Yeah because drowning is cool .

[@smoovequinn5732]

not to mention just the thought of already being so deep underwater, then to find some deep space with twists and turns, tight spaces and go into it

[@texas2pugs]

Two of my favorite channels combined! Nice!

[@mavhizd]

Regarding that last commentary about how you aren't perfect either despite criticizing, I always had the one reply to anyone bringing that argument: just because I'm faulty, why shouldn't I be allowed to talk about what's right? Don't ever let that line of reasoning get to you guys, love your videos, keep up the good work

[@heatherlilly2344]

I am not a diver and was drawn to Dive Talk because of my curiosity. I wondered why people enjoy cave diving because it seemed terrifying. You have done your job well. I have major respect for your focus on responsibility. I will go prepared when hiking in grizzly bear country and it makes perfect sense that cave diving is safe for those who are properly prepared. Not just going to climb Mt. Everest Willy nilly either.

[@emcustard]

There is a difference between panicking in a dangerous situation and having a panic attack. Panic attacks are like allergic reactions. Your body has decided, for whatever reason, that this completely mundane thing is a life-threatening situation and acts accordingly. At least with allergic reactions you can identify the triggers and take precautions, but there aren’t really any precautions for panic attacks other than learning to recognize the onset and removing yourself from the situation. Unfortunately, like y'all mentioned, you can’t quickly remove yourself from a cave if you have a panic attack down there. You either have to ride it out, which could take minutes or even an hour, or rely on your diving buddy to get you out safely. I remember the first time I got a panic attack, I was very confused as to what was happening. I was in a safe and familiar environment, so there was no reason to panic. Suddenly, my heart rate spiked, and I was shaking and crying. I had no idea what was going on, and my friends were worried because they’d never seen me act like that. After that, I did a whole bunch of research so that I'd know what to do if I ever had a panic attack again, but most people have no idea what to do in this kind of situation. I can’t even imagine how terrifying it would be to have a panic attack while cave diving.

[@Texan1981]

I really appreciate y’all talking about training, and it’s importance, and you obviously need it to be certified anyway. It relates so well to one of my passions, firearms, regarding training. Besides becoming proficient with them, it helps with something that is of utmost importance to me, being safe. Just as training does for people who cave dive. The panic y’all discussed ties into it, as well. Training can very well prevent that. You do it so much that you aren’t getting panicked, wondering “what do I do?!” You’re not fumbling things around. As y’all well know, training creates muscle memory. The beauty in that is, you’re not even having to ask yourself what to do next. Training/muscle memory kicks in and causes you to just do it! It’s the exact same with shooting. When, God forbid, any of us are ever in a situation that we need to defend ourselves with a firearm, but if so, the adrenaline kicks in and can easily cause panic. However, that’s when the training kicks in. Anyway, sorry for carrying on for so long. I know y’all know these things, but hopefully someone who doesn’t sees it. Again, thank you for stressing the importance of training!

[@dwaynesykes694]

Rebreathers introduce a lot more risk factors, but it sure is nice having 6+ hours of breathing capability strapped on instead of the 5-10 minutes an 80 cu. ft. will give you at 300' deep. In a more realistic example, a pair of cave-filled LP85s will run dry at that depth after around 30 minutes at a reasonable 0.7cfm SAC rate.

[@G.R.M.1989]

It’s all about be prepared and having the right level of training and right gear! I know nothing about diving so you will never see me trying to dive in the eagles nest or anywhere don’t do what you have little knowledge about or little training and right gear R.I.P to the men that died!

[@jobbrown7847]

Love the commentary and the way you guys teach

[@sandervankampen8537]

Calling anything the "mount Everest" of anything just makes me think its filled with corpses, like mount Everest XD

[@Strutingeagle]

Back in Nam we flooded several sections of tunnels and we had to dive in looking for intel. The murky silt and mud mad it nearly impossible. We lost a few men that got lost in the tunnels then we got smart and started running air lines for unlimited air supply. People still got lost but could eventually make their way back out. Sometimes there were lots of bodies of the enemy in the tunnels. All I can say is fudge that if asked to do that again.

[@4of20]

damn gus dropped a lot of weight from 1 year ago in the other video, lookin good gus!

[@nookie077]

I panic for a second if my arms get stuck taking a tight t-shirt off.... that's why I suppose I'm fascinated - it's like watching a horror movie from my perspective.

[@Lake420H]

Real

[@matthewholmes8638]

This sport reminds me of powered paragliding. Ive been flying for several years now. It's a sport that has very little government regulation which is why we love it. That in turn brings people into the sport who refuse to get proper trainning from and instructor. Legally they dont have too, but you dont know what you dont know. Something simple could get you injured or killed in a heartbeat. I see so many similiaralites in diving and ppg flying. I imagine diving is like flying 99% of accidents are pilot error or diver error. It's usually not because of a mechanical malfunction. It's usually always pilot error. Complacency kills. Avaiation has checklist and I reccomend sticking with it and no matter how many ytimes youve done it and last flight was good doesnt mean the next one something wont go wrong. Always follow the checklist it will save your life. Flying we dont want the Faa coming in with more regulations and so its so important to get the info out there to new pilots. All it takes is a bad accident because someone didnt get properly trained for the Faa to make it law.

[@kristenhoneywill2130]

I'm a DM and I was assisting on an Open Water course and one of the divers panicked. I was always worried that I would blank or freeze on what to do in a situation like that, but the second it happened my training kicked in and we both got through it. I was so relieved! I don't know why but I have always been calmer when I'm underwater than on land... I should have been a fish!

[@Wickedreptiles]

Back to your bread and butter!

[@rzpage1561]

I absolutely love all of your videos

[@royalaxe]

what a great channel you have guys, i gave up logging my dives just past 800. 55 years old now and im thinking of getting a rebreather as theyre not so hideously expensive as they were 25 years ago. keep up the good work, and you really shouldnt dive in australia, it will ruin the northern hemisphere for you!!!. i remember diving with a guy here who was from scotland and dived there. he was in a permanent state of awe at our insane amount of colours and marine animals. also, he didnt have to fight a dry suit, we wear shorts only most of the time as the water is so warm.

[@thegamerboneless2864]

I’m from NY, Grew up on both island’s. From learning to dive here, we learn real fast what zero vis is, it’s mostly dark and silty, and our sound and inlets have a lot of wrecks, so learning overhead, and caving is almost a must atleast for our group. I don’t know these guys but I do believe they had cave certs but not sure. I also want to add, some situations yes your training kicks in, but it also depends on the emergency, if it’s a no air or super fast rise or decent, if you only have training and no real life emergency situations big or small, training or not that panic can really mess a person up, in calm emergencies you may think you can be like that through any emergencies, but depending on the emergency, stoutness isn’t always the outcome.

[@Mikey.M.V.P.1]

Its always a good day when u know there's a new dive talk video drop ❤

[@nickgavis0305]

These guys really explain how dangerous these dives can be. I wanna cave dive so bad but I’m just making sure I get the proper training and equipment beforehand

[@CODxxPROxx]

Gus just wanted to say you are looking incredibly healthy keep it up

[@toriedwards126]

Really enjoyed this video! and don't worry your real followers know that you are very open and honest about your mistakes, you don't come across as trying to be better than everyone else at all! Just good advice and fun times XD

[@Splattervision-qh1sd]

When I used to do scuba, I always liked looking up and seeing the shimmering light above on the surface. I wouldn’t ever give that up to go into some cave. Just me tho

[@spaceghost6966]

I’ve never dived and I’ve never wanted to dive. I probably never will. But I watching your videos pretty much saved me at the darkest point in my life. I’ll see you in the caves.

[@dreadnoughtus2598]

"We dont know how cave diving deaths happen because no one lives to tell the tale." I can tell you how cave diving deaths happen, and I don't even dive................ They run out of air.

[@DIVETALK]

Not true...the last two cave diving deaths I remember were related to Hypoxia and Hyperoxia...both divers with perished with full tanks

[@shloby953]

Thanks to @scary interesting for shouting you guys out during one of his storys and reminded me of you guys!

[@deltalima6703]

Skydiving is the same, when things go wrong you should be busy, way too busy to panic. If not, you should be doing something else. Lots of people survive malfunctions, and training is a big part of that.

[@sethkazzim731]

As others have said, Gus you’re looking great, if it’s workouts/diets/etc keep it up brother.

[@michaelterrien1649]

The same logic that would have the state outlawing cave diving could be used to outlaw open water diving, or sky diving, or auto racing or motorcycle riding, or football or any of a million other activities that people enjoy and value but which come with risks. Despite the inevitable tragedies, as a general matter the diving community is a wonderful example of mature and responsible self-regulation.

[@mircoh.8367]

9:45 I've been watching a lot of Dive Talk recently (tho I have 0 desire to dive myself) and I think this is the best explanation of cave diving safety Woody has ever given. This should be a disclaimer in every video where people could be commenting that you're arrogant.

[@aidanandtyler5138]

Woody is so cool and humble (and yes Gus is awesome too ;-) ) I want to get certified for Open Water this year (I used to dive uncertified in Bermuda for years). But time to get certified. Cave diving is just not for me and I'm glad I realize this. But your commentaries are awesome.

[@umpalumpa-qw8ru]

I will never get why you would go cave diving without proper training. You wouldn't parachute on your own just because you saw it on tv. And to that, you're not only risking your life. You're risking the life of everyone who is searching for you and trying to get your body back

[@jdaniel3068]

@scaryinteresting is a far more soothing form of the cave diving gone wrong videos.

[@Knight_Astolfo]

Weird how your show is called Dive TALK and people think you talk too much I'm not a diver at all, I think it would be fun, but after everything you two have said, I would get training and work my way up for sure.

[@brucewayneissupermanquinn601]

Not even a diver, but I love your videos. You guys have such a good rapport as co-hosts. I enjoy watching cuz I feel like I’m hanging out with friends. If you’re ever in northwest Indiana, we should grab a beer on me…

[@el_demonio_99]

SO im just here to point out - the video said that he had a *panic attack*, just an fiy, as someone who has multiple of those a day no matter what - PANICKING and A PANICK ATTACK is NOT the same thing. However, in a cave diving situation, im sure, both are equally as bad and dangerous. Love the vids btw!

[@Biodoc100]

On a side note, any chance "Jetski go boom" is still in the works?

[@ClamsCEDH]

Holy cow gus looks amazing!

[@sakiefox7250]

Working on getting certified for atleast caverns.

[@giftedfox4748]

I know that a lot of people who watch these videos that are not divers (not one myself due to medical issues and needing to get my doctor permission) and just say the simple thing "This is why I don't dive" or "what were they expecting?" as if it is a deathtrap. Then that thought gets cemented in their heads and it turns to "we need to shutdown this cave! One death is too many!" while they are smoking their cigarettes or drinking their booze or even about to skydive. The fact that Woody wants people in that hobby or area to self regulate instead of just closing it down and making it illegal is something everyone can understand. Do you really want people outside of your hobby/job/skill set/area to tell you to stop doing that thing they never did because it sounds dangerous?

[@TheEarl777]

Hi Gus and Woody from a Kiwi mate. Don’t think that you come across as the “ oh no it’s the dive talk guys” , because if 1 diver has listened to you guys, who give excellent advice in all your talks, and reconsidered a potential bad mistake , you both saved that dudes life. And I’m sure that’s happened more than once. Also I don’t think they should close caves for the same reasons you mentioned. And you guys are humble and it’s one of reasons I watch ya’s Keep up the great work

[@719Flowers]

The one job y’all had was to listen and react to the video 😂

[@danieleoswald4971]

Saying something is the mount everest of something should really make people more apprehensive. That mountain is covered in bodies of very experienced hikers that knew what they where doing and had the right equipment and they still died, because that mountain is dangerous.

[@92up7]

The human habits of being in the present as well as fear and panic are instincts that keep us alive in most survival situations but are less than helpful in this sort of activity. I watched a retrieved camera where a diver really enjoying the moment and filming it apparently calculated weight wrong so only when he sees the bottom does his wrist come up to check his depth. The almost meditative experience abruptly becomes terror the instance he sees he's already three times deeper than intended. Pulls his inflation but at 91 meters it explodes instead. He drops his heavy camera but it's far too late. There was nothing else to it. Nothing in between taking in the euphoria and full panic. The mistake was made before he even got into the water but the calmness on camera gave no sense of the danger unfolding nor did the panic embody any advantage to survival. If getting distracted in the moment is not a mistake then he had no opportunity to a different outcome after he got in the water beyond random chance. I would say rules learned in training are the only tools you can use when cave diving and your instinctual reactions may serve little purpose.

[@Ohio_Public_Hunting]

Thank you for the video. Gus, Idk what diet your on but your sticking to it! Keep it up. Let me know how to lose that kind of weight!!

[@meganwiley1990]

Ha ha right! I watch you guys BECAUSE you talk. That's the point! 😂 It's not called Dive Docs...

[@freedomforourfallen3755]

Your friends need to be able to tell you to kick rocks. Not one of my friends would hesitate to tell me I’m messing up.

[@malusmundus-9605]

Panic attacks can happen for no real reason... some people are prone to them. Some people are good at handling panic attacks, some people aren't.

[@S1rSlippy]

I think since the diving tragedies get spread more than non accident dives people assume oh you going in a cave you gonna die ya know. Ps. Repect the risk and be prepared. Dont fear the risk and panic :7

[@jeffdollaz]

Hey Gus looking good looks like you lost some weight keep up the good work love these shows

[@toebeans6568]

You're not here to please people, you're here to save lives. The people that stay and listen are the only ones worth your breath. An advanced open water/basic nitrox diver in Orlando Florida who knows it's time for appropriate training.

How do I get that white T shirt that Gus has on? With the small logo over chest? You guys should carry that one in the store, & more of just small logo on the front.

Have you guys ever run into an alligator on a dive?

I think people criticize cave diving because the margin of error is so small that even if you are the greatest and most experienced cave diver, when something goes wrong - chances of survival are overwhelmingly stacked against him/her. What does happen, is that human nature kicks in - in this case the desire to keep pushing oneself. And the chances of an accident increases the more a caver pushes him/herself to new depths. Just my opinion. Not crapping on the caving community.
