Divers React to DALLMYD Found Secret Swimming Hole Under Florida Swamp

i appreciate dallmyd having a channel and bringing more eyes to scuba diving but upon 5 seconds of inspection of his channel you guys shouldnt feel any type of way about him "being the face of diving" hes literally just the biggest generic click baiter that happens to dive. you guys bring lots of wisdom and insight as professionals and have earned tremendous respect in my eyes already

[@mica4977]

I feel it fair to consider DALLMYD the gateway for new people to become curious about & seek out scuba diving content. KZbin doesn't make it easy on content creators to be discovered so theres room for people to clickbait as long as they have something to deliver behind it. In his case it's videos with beautiful cinematography & a chill "hanging out with a friend while exploring underneath the water" style vibe. With this channel it's an educational & chill feel of it's own. Both important for the communities that may need them.

[@cmnieman1]

Well said!

[@zoebaker21426]

It's big channels like DALLMYD that are a conduit to find the true gems here on KZbin like Dive Talk. I knew 0% about diving at all, let alone cave diving, but through being a fan of Mr. Balling I jumped head first into this channels content and it's great! The more people that know about the dangers of this sport the better.

Honestly, he could’ve had a clickbait title of “you won’t believe what’s hiding under all this duckweed!” or something along those lines. He’d still get his clickbait to draw people in while being truthful about it. There’s already so much misinformation out there, it’s annoying to see someone intentionally misleading people to think he’s discovered something new. As you’ve said, the photography is GREAT and it would be enjoyable to watch regardless of whether he “discovered” the place or not.

[@Algorythmfpv]

womp womp, you want thousands of kids to see a beautiful spot and try to sneak in and dive it untrained and unsupervised and in after hours times when nobody even know's they are there and in the water. Not saying the names of places when you have an enormous and young audience is smart. fucking grow up and get a grip. stop crying about it and think about it logically.

[@karislindvall6181]

I have been watching Dive Talk since February and just got my SSI Open Water Certification this last weekend. Not having any friends in the diving community yet, I am so grateful to have these videos to watch and learn from. The only "click-bait ISH" videos on this channel are the thumbnails on videos about tragic accidents. Then I watch the video and it has no real footage or photos from the accident itself BUT (!!) I think it is so respectful that they did not include actual content of most of these fatal accidents. They show that you can learn much and still appreciate the sanctity of human life while examining the events leading up to the loss of life. My driving goal is to become a tech diver someday but have the humility to see that I am a long ways off from having the skills necessary to attempt many of the advanced courses. Thank you both for all that you do, it is invaluable to us in the water and even as a new diver I already have the ABCDE checklist burned into my head.

I like this guy's videos but thats probably bc I've become numb to clickbait. I don't expect anything I see in a video's heading to be real...so I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find something geniune. You guys rock!

[@DALLMYD]

First off, I appreciate the nice comments about the cinematography. Secondly, at the time I was receiving thousands of messages in regards of local people asking not to publicize their favorite spots. I didn’t mention the name of the location, "Orange Grove" so I could keep it on the down low and show respect to locals. As for the title, sometimes I experiment and push limits and I apologize to the public if this was to misleading. For clarification, I titled the video as "I found" because that's the format I was creating at the time. Every adventure/video we film we find certain things "treasures" or even places we visit, but of course I didn't "discover" this location. I purposely didn't hide the wooden decks because I didn't have nothing to hide. For me, it's always been about having fun and creating a cool video. Apologies for the miscommunication. As for personal comments. You said you invited me on the show and I ignored you. I receive thousands of messages a day and I didn't see your message. As for treasure I find, such as iPhones, GoPros, Jewelry, etc I'll never fake a find. Noticed a few people in the comments stating such and wanted to make sure I made a point to say this. I work extremely hard to find everything I put in my videos an I'll never stoop low and fake a treasure item. Treasure hunting is never guaranteed and that's why it's so much fun. - Jake comment updated 1/17/2021

Dude. Why are you attempting a public apology in this fashion? Reading it sounds just as hollow as any political apology ever made. As in, you’re making excuses and not actually owning any responsibility or accountability of any kind. You’re pushing blame onto something, anything, other than yourself. Seriously, you knew very well what you were doing with that blatant click-bait title. And you knew very well you refused to admit the location, despite it being an extremely popular spot since the 70’s. Just saying “I admit I made selective edits to misrepresent the location in order to gain views, and was wrong for making an obviously false click-bait title” would have garnered you loads of respect. But refusing to accept any form of personal accountability by making excuses is the very thing that we hate the most. It speaks to your true character in the most personal sense.

Love DALLMYD channel. I dived with Jake about a year ago. He doesn’t give out locations because the impact of having 12 million subscribers can create a lot of congestion to small water holes like that park. When he went diving for fossils with us he didn’t give out spots either. He has legit skills, gear, and knowledge for treasure hunting. Jake gives back a ton to the community. He has a huge following as a dive channel because he isn’t negative like your channel. He doesn’t need to put people down to make himself look better. People want to consume his channel’s content more for the adventure, beautiful cinematography, and the fact it isn’t so negative like DiveTalk is. DiveTalk basically just rides the success of other peoples content.

[@DIVETALK]

You clearly haven’t see our videos - or Jakes videos for that matter because he gives out the name of the locations all the time. He didn’t give this one out because he was pretending to discover this “secret” location. But happy to share some links of videos where not only he shares the location but even shares the. Ame of the dive operators people should use to dive there. Lastly, most of the channels we have reacted to in this channel are smaller than us and have been “discovered” because they have been highlighted and featured in dive talk, if you actually watched some of our videos you would know that, we are actually one of the very few channels that constantly showcase our own shortcomings and struggles, we react to our own dives and strongly point our flaws so people can learn from our mistakes, and when people catch mistakes we’ve made we pin their comments to the top and have even made videos correcting those mistakes and giving shoutouts to people who found them. Would Jake make a video correcting mistakes he has made in the past? No chance. Would Jake acknowledge blatantly lying to trick people into watching his videos? No, he calls it “stretching the title”. Something that somehow all his supporters think everyone in KZbin does but actually most successful channels don’t do, look at Mark Rober, MKBHD, Dude Perfect, Good Mythical Morning, should I keep going? I’m sorry y’all feel attacked because someone pointed out a fact. The fact that the title on that video is a complete fabrication. Nobody is saying Jake is a horrible person or that his content sucks and that he doesn’t help the community or whatever…but yeah we are cool, if you guys think we are such a horrible channel and we never make mistakes and we are only negative to others and think we are perfect then ignore our channel, we are 100% incompatible for you.

Super high quality shots with beautiful lighting, and I like the chemistry between him and his buddies. That’s what I subbed to them for - beautiful underwater shots and simple treasure hunting of little things left behind by tourists. They’re absolutely not trying to teach anything about diving - they moreso are influencers that just happen to dive, and I’m cool with watching that. But I’m super happy to have subscribed to you guys recently to learn more about all that goes into diving and whatnot - definitely gives me the full scope of things!

[@brianalling5483]

Nice guys! I’m a follower of Jake! He does have great videos and photography! His videos are hyped up a lot. Like when he find a butter knife under a bridge he calls it a “potential murder weapon”! Hahaha! Keep em comin!

[@wrxman1985]

I love watching your videos! Its great to see that the subscribers have jumped like crazy pretty quickly. Great for you guys!

[@jennyle727]

I’m a fan of Jake and a fan of y’all! I enjoy watching y’all cover videos of other creators I follow. It gives multiple perspectives. But glad to know if I want to find this magical place I can!

[@DaltonwithaD]

Jake found a lot of success as a Call of Duty youtuber first and started randomly uploading fishing videos to his channel from time to time. It got to where his videos were mostly fishing, then he took up diving and the rest is history.

[@gingerstrand6153]

Have him on your show. He's a seemingly good guy..

[@DIVETALK]

If you know how to get in touch with him, let him know we would be happy to have him on the show. We’ve tried.

[@pilotmike1296]

@@DIVETALK There is probably a reason he won't get back to you... He knows you guys are legit and he can't hold a candle to you.

[@snugglestruggle8437]

Not quite sure, but I think that green stuff on top is called "duck grass," yes? I might have two different vegetations mixed up here, but it's very healthy stuff for the environment apparently. You can buy that stuff in aquarium shops and your fish can feed off the roots and leaves, also gives you a nice glow to your aquarium covering the top. This vegetation is also something you can sell it back to the aquarium shops if it grows well in your tank, or if you collect the stuff yourself (if your state allows it lol).

[@rustlemyjimmys]

From what I've read in the comments it seems like this guys channel has gotten a lot of people into diving. Those people then seem to move on to other channels like Dive Talk as they become more experienced. So, overall it seems like he's been a net positive for the diving community. I'd also be surprised if he edits and titles his own videos if he's as big as some people suggest. Based on that I really don't get the hate down here in the comments or Gus returning to the title every few seconds in the video, that's just how KZbin works these days and his team are clearly playing 'the game' 🤷🏻‍♂️ I dunno, maybe I've missed something?

[@DIVETALK]

No, that’s not “how KZbin works these days”, most big channels don’t “play that game”

[@thisiscait]

I'm so glad you're doing this. I used to love his videos back when he hit his first 10K subs but unsubbed not long after that when it took the biggest downturn into click bait hell. Always sad when genuinely charismatic and interesting people lean into scammy, scummy behaviour.

[@mourningsickness]

This is hilarious 😂😂😂😂 perfect for a Monday morning. Thanks guys… hopefully one day I can be an explorer like this man lol. Riveting find.

[@borikennautical6649]

Greetings from Dunnellon Florida! You guy's rocks. They are a lot of channels in KZbin like that with clickbait and trick title on the KZbin.

[@wizard5637]

This KZbinr mostly treasure hunts or does work with law enforcement looking for evidence using diving as his main thing but you guys are the real dive-focused creators now.

[@1LuckySavage]

That DALLYMYD guy is like the PT Barnum of diving. The visuals are lovely, but he sensationalizes everything instead of just sharing what he does. I'm glad that works out for him, but I just wish he would be more real. Luv you guys. ::hugzforWoodyandGus:::

[@hookedonthebay3890]

This is like having 2 of your friends fighting. Jake's focus is on content and views. Yours is talking about diving and calling stuff out like you see it. You're doing You're job and he's doing his. Unfortunately this was like a perfect storm. I still have all the respect for both of you guys.

The photographer had to swim this first, to be in position to film him. When he jumped in the photographer was already under the water and probably told him where it was clear.

Its not like he isnt willing to lie about all of the shit he finds on the first try. Which in turn means the kid who made the wish to swim with him, literally used his wish on a lie. Thats extremely fucked up. Fanboys ALWAYS pull out the same line, "oh yeah well youre just jealous youre not MAKING MONEY like my hero" as if thats an attribute that people should be happy about? Lmfao "the content creators i watch are SO obsessed with money that THEYRE WILLING TO LIE TO CHILDREN TO GET IT" lmfaooo, thats what you sound like rn. Shits pathetic dude.

It was actually this video that helped motivate me to get back in the water and take up spearfishing. I have a lot of trouble equalising so my freediving has hit a wall until I can get training from a pro to fix that issue. Would love to go there one day.

[@oopsallie]

Yall have no idea how long i’ve been waiting for this one!! this is absolutely HILARIOUS pls keep reacting to his RIDICULOUS dives!!!

[@hiljoy487]

To be fair, the very first comment on his video is from him stating that it is Orange Grove and why he titled it the way he did and that he was swimming it in winter and that's why so few people were there. If I recall correctly he says that a lot of locations he tries to keep anonymous and sometimes at the request of the location he does this so that thousands of people don't swarm the area. He also explains why he made the creative choices that he made so your mileage may vary depending on how you feel about him.

[@DIVETALK]

Yeah he edited the comment after our video came out. And what do you know, I’ve been to Orange Grove many times since then and it’s not full as he claimed it would happen once he shared “the secret”

Hey guys! I love your content! I’m no diver and all I know I’ve learned from you basically. But I still enjoy learning new things and watching your reactions.

You might find them interesting or at least it would be cool to have your opinions on the diving the AWP divers do. Keep being you!
