You heard it here, folks! Gus has Hot Man disease! 😂 Oh gosh, I love you guys. You make me smile without fail.

[@nibbynibberson7717]

😂😂😂

[@glamcityrockerofficial]

I think Gus is a hot man. As in very attractive! 😍😍😍

[@glamcityrockerofficial]

Woody is cute too!!!

[@lindsey8243]

Woody is cool, Gus is hot, got it😂

[@DaddyHardTears]

Woody's "I don't even know what they're doing" summarizes how insanely precise things become the more you learn and get into them, including most professions in general. This is on the "My life is cave diving" level and his statement is a testament to how much skill and effort these people have to do what they love.

[@pricediver]

two expert divers -- even Woody and Gus are being so humble about cave diving. Diving is really something that requires consistent learning and humbleness

[@thisisausername.595]

They're kind of arrogant actually.

[@pricediver]

@@thisisausername.595 they are like completely opposite of arrogant …..

[@ScubaGirlsInternational]

The double rebreather is mind blowing. I can't imagine the prep work that goes into that level of exploration!

[@marcusmcmillan375]

No joke

[@tobysmith5941]

Richard Harris has a very good video about his double megalodon set-up

[@emmylee8862]

The guys from Cavebase are crazy professional, dedicated and ambitious.

[@C.E.R.4.2.0.]

I love love love how Woody is always really pushing safety, I know there are probably so many people who watch this and think they could easily do what yall do and what you show in your videos but it's truly takes times to master. Yall are very awesome

[@XcRunner1031]

I feel for Woody, when you're accustomed to a warm, mild climate, any big drop in temperature feels SO cold. My first winter in Northeast WA after living in CA for 20 years was the coldest I'd ever been in my entire life. The first time I stepped out into single digit temps...oof. It took probably 5 years before my body adjusted. Now I overheat the moment it hits 80°F lol!

[@MerryJanne]

@@ghosttowntomatoIt's more than that. wild how your body will adjust given time. November, 5c (don't know freedom units, sorry) feels freezing. After months of up to -45c, -10c is literally shorts and a hoodie weather. At 5c in the spring, you are sunbathing, lol. (Canadian from Alberta)

[@letsart6434]

It's crazy how that works. I grew up in Montana where I still live and I'm 31. It's been around or below 0 for weeks. Today it's 40° F and it's so warm to me I'm sweating every time I go outside and come back in. Life really is whatever you're exposed to.

[@IndigoE98]

"Well...As long as he doesnt wanna kill me" Woody you have me crying from laughter. I love watching you both so much, you guys makes my days better!!!!!!

[@conner7595]

It took me a second to get it, then caught on to the subtle joke 😂

[@Jimmy_CV]

I laughed, Woody is a gem.

[@Zarglog]

@@Jimmy_CV Was the joke that he is jewish and they are german? Or am I being very insensitive? I laughed regardless.

[@Jimmy_CV]

@@Zarglog yes Woody is Jewish lol

[@Zarglog]

@@Jimmy_CV Oh damn. That joke came right out of left field. Love it.

[@QuothTheRavenclaw11]

Discovered this channel recently after exiting the negative side of KZbin. This is some of the most fun I've had on this site in a long time, and it's very refreshing.

[@cl4998]

What's the "negative side" of KZbin?

[@backpacking_trombonist]

"Welcome to the last adventure in Europe." What a powerful line to include right before showing just how much effort it takes to explore in the modern world.

[@mikesonntag7698]

You guys are a little too humble! 99.9% of the divers that watch your Chanel look at you guys like you're next level. I inspire to be half as skilled as woody and Gus!

[@TheRealTomLauda]

Ok, this must be your best 2022 video. Not because i'm from south of France, but because it is freaking badass ! This cave system looks beautiful... When do you guys come dive in France ? As you can see, we have beautiful caves to dive !

[@DIVETALK]

WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO!

[@falseking989]

There’s a saying that relates to combat, but I think it also pertains to cave diving. “You don’t rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your training.”

[@Oheeeoh]

"Woody's warmers" sounds like a heck of a side gig idea. Happy New Year guys!

[@UnmaskedTrueCrime]

I am such a huge fan of your channel. When I take a break from true crime, I binge watch your videos. You're both so knowledgeable with such great attitudes. ❤

[@DIVETALK]

Thank you. I love to hear that.

[@Garrett__H]

Really enjoyed this one. Thanks Gus and Woody.

[@grizzlycmmg9578]

Been having a huge rough patch these last couple of months, thankfully things seem to be beginning to slowly fall back into place, I was a supporter of this channel until I ran into hard times and I will get back on it as soon as I can, but for now just know that I still greatly appreciate these pieces of content you guys put out and its not the first time you guys have allowed me to be completely engrossed in a subject that I have zero physical experience in, and allow me to briefly escape reality. Can't wait to see what 2023 brings to this channel and to myself, cheers to the road ahead.

[@armandocardenas6094]

Gus doesn't seem to understand that he is insulated while Woody isn't. Lol. I love you, guys.

[@armandocardenas6094]

I'm sure that if all those guys knew you personally, they would love you and invited you to every cave dive expedition and even if they were next level ( which they apparently are) well ... they can always train you into diving with them.

[@maddmama232]

You guys remind me of The Odd Couple. 🤣 Your total opposites and best friendship Is what attracted me to your Channel. I have zero interest in Diving. I live 3 hours from the ocean and I haven't been there in over 15 years. But you two are my morning cup of tea. ❄

[@MonsterTVchannel]

I never been diving in my life. But I'm hooked on this channel. ❤️

[@Hawks45636]

God i love this channel, Gus and Woody are such a comedic duo. These guys are probably the biggest reason why I'm getting my OWD in march. Thank you for quality content.

[@MikeDodds]

I believe that Woody may be going through “manopause”!!!!

[@ericahedlund7774]

Spot on!

[@RDSwords]

I can see Woody down near 300ft in an unexplored cave, speaking to the rocks in his alien language, and breaking out the nugget sucker to find gold. All with Gus tangled up in his legs right behind him hahahaha!

[@Dharmarenee]

I love the set up, planning and preparation for the exploration the rigging itself is a valuable learning experience.

[@angelachouinard4581]

This is something I'll probably never do but even before you both spoke up I looked at the gear and thought how pro these people were. I realized then how much I have learned from this channel. Thanks for that, continuing to learn keeps your brain from turning to tapioca.

[@CubanazoJB]

Amazing, truly another level !!! It would great to know if Dr. Richard Harris recorded a video of their preparation for the Pearce Resurgence dive !!

[@justthink5597]

I wonder if Woody has thought about releasing his own brand of Elmers School Glue, which has become a 'must have' for any serious repair man.

[@davidnicolas8019]

"The rain is such a shame"...... "Yes everything in the cave is going to be wet now"

I will never dive (for many reasons), but I love to watch these vids. It's amazing what people at the top of the game can do. I still think they're a little crazy, but I gotta admire these guys' skills. :)

Haven't been getting notifications of your uploads now I have a ton of videos to go thru! I'm excited about that lol! Love this channel

[@TheElrondo]

@Gus, i don't know if this is already answered... The line is in because it's explored for a short way already and they try to find a passage which leads further. Best wishes from Bavaria Germany 🇩🇪

[@sarahwinters5321]

I love watching the back story behind the dives! It’s so fascinating and really brings home how much planning it takes to execute something like this. In absolute awe of the skills involved.

[@praevidere]

The most interesting video on dive talk, execo with the video exploring at 245M !! Both showing places I’ll never go

[@micheleiuliano6986]

That’s the best video I have seen on the channel! Fantastic to watch such a challenging adventure with your comments guys!! Amazing!!

[@katkat4986]

Hello! I just want to stay I'm loving your videos. I've been doing tech diving for almost a year doing mostly WW2 shipwrecks. Anyway, I just want to say thank you for helping us budding divers dissect the tragedies of others so that we may learn from them.

[@glamcityrockerofficial]

It was great seeing you two geek out watching this .. y'alls enthusiasm for this is palpable

[@zed4225]

I just love listening to you guys, i don't even dive, i'm a mere snorkeller when opportunity arises. You make me laugh, and I always learn a lot, even if i'm never going to use the knowledge, knowledge is nice to know all the same. The underwater caves look fantastic, but the most I could do is dry caves, and even then i wouldnt want to feel like I could become trapped in a tight space. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store in 2023. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to sharing with us your adventures and knowledge. Hope Woody has some good hats for us in 2023, expectations are high Woody. PS Woody, I feel the cold too, your not alone

[@crippl3dhobnob]

This looks amazing!! I could see the excitement and joy in his face when describing the cave, what an aweinspiring moment it must be to lay eyes on a place that very rarely before has been visited by humans. Like the first step on the moon but in a cave 😮, I've always had a curious streak about underwater archaeology.. However with only freediving cert and cleared 40years on this planet this year, my moment past a long time ago

[@alexandros8361]

What you guys do is express the duality of diving - firstly all the technical knowledge and equipment required, including the environs of the sea and the caves. But secondly the beauty, the comraderie and the spiritual aspects of the whole experience. The danger and the exhilaration. Thank you. And by the way, fish like Woody don't need snorkels. He just breathes the air bubbles in the water don't you Woody? Maybe! Thanks for the fun, from us all over the world. Japan is cold right now. Stay rugged up till you feel emotionally warm and loved again, Woody. And Gus, appreciate Woody just a little bit more. He gives out a lot of innocent joy to us!

[@blindey]

I watch most of your videos whenever I get the notification and each one jus makes me wanna go diving more. I have to wait 3 or 4 months before I can take the class (I had cataract surgery) but I can't wait. Especially since my try scuba last year. I want to so bad and then travel around to Florida and wherever for awesome dive sites. 2023 is gonna be when I start my scuba journey, really.

[@TheRealKurt051]

Amazing video happy new year dive talk team

[@YukonSeanHolland]

What was up with the nose plugs in the habitat?

[@DIVETALK]

When you are wearing your mask you can’t breathe through it, it’s all through your mouth on the loop, once you take it off it’s really difficult to breathe 100% through your mouth, there’s always a little bit that will go through your nose unconsciously, so the plug allows them to ensure mouth breathing while taking a break from wearing a mask.

[@YukonSeanHolland]

Thanks! We knew there had to be a reason!

[@TOPCLASSGAMER44]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year gus and woody.

Long time no see... nice one bro 👍

[@DadofTwinGirls-uo9xe]

Need more of these kind of videos

[@just_me2797]

Just for fun I want to make some calculations. So if I remember correctly buoyance is equal to the weight of the water that is displaced. So if we guess that habitat to be 4'x4'x4' which equals 64 cubic feet and multiply that by 62.3 (the weight of 1 cubic foot of water) that should mean the habitat is pushing against the ceiling with about 3,987.2 lbs. of force. I am guessing that perhaps being 9 meters down which is nearly 1 atmosphere might change things, most likely increase the force, but still that is a lot of force. Thank you for the video guys.

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

Woody's always cold lol great video guy's

[@zace6499]

you guys are amazing. you make me want to get scuba and cave certified

[@WHITEHEADTJ71]

He said double 7 JJ referring to the onboard bailout/dil cylinders on their JJCCRs

[@Skunkiboi]

You guys never did your Cave-1 course in Switzerland between Christmas eve and New Year in a Snow Storm and a ripped (not so) dry suit. I did count the hours. If my dive partner was running away, screaming, I'd have joined hin in screaming and running away. But we managed. Water was +6° C, Air outside was -6° C. Our car was completely frozen in the morning.

[@AI-art-makers]

Love you guys ❤️

[@stolen_prada]

great year of videos happy new year

[@kris4733]

JJ is short for JJ-CCR which is a reasonably popular rebreather manufacturer in Europe. They are very flexible regarding what cylinders you can mount for diluent. So I’m guessing double 7 refers to 2x7 liter @300bar as rebreather mounted diluent/bailout

[@cl4998]

Thank you for citing the source videos! Its really infuriating how the vast majoriting of creators don't bother linking and/or crediting the source.

[@BonuxCouleur]

Could they use one of these Leica portable 3D scanners we see used in construction and architecture with a waterproof casing? That would be amazing to see a full 3D model of this cave.

[@seanstevenson8038]

You were commenting about the double 7L JJ : This configuration is used because it provides sufficient gas to enable the rebreather diver to bail out to open circuit on the same back gas supply that supplies the rebreather in order to deal with a problem without having to switch immediately to a larger offboard gas supply. This allows you to briefly switch to OC at will as part of problem diagnosis.

[@MaverickMito]

in this case we used the 7l because of the profile. If you dive down to 80 up to 20 down to 90 up to.... you need a lot of gase to compensate. While diving down you need new gas and will diving up you release the gas. 3l for the whole profile wouldn't be enough. So we decided to use some "bigger" bottles. For bailout the push team has a 20l bottle with 250 bar and the second rebreather. The 20l bottle is connected to the BOV via QC6.

[@AbbieTheStarWarsStory]

Congratulations, Woody that’s really exciting to hear I really wish I could go that’s very true I get really cold and it takes a really long time to Warm up so I feel you Woody 🎉🎉🎉

[@cbrando190]

around minute 7:58 to answer this: you need to know how to rig highlines that will act as a carriage system to get your gear to each of the three points. There is a good photo of their carriage line setup at 8:00 min mark. Depends on what part of the world you are in but sometimes these things are taught to first responders for technical rescue or other times to workers that work at height called rope-access. Yeah, I got into this stuff like you all did cave diving.

[@ngarrache]

Thx for all your content ! JJ = JJ CCR = a rebreather

[@xenostim]

Am I the only one who expected Woody to connect his being cold to ancient aliens? 🤣

[@paddysullivan2893]

This group shows the benefits and what can be achieved when you become a member of UK diving club.. We have lots of clubs in the UK like BSAC and SAA its a great way to learn and enjoy diving to the max First class training in a UK club. i have dived 35 years and am an instructor with multiple agency Diving officer UK club so I have experienced many types of ways to learn and dive, UK club wins hands down and produces the best divers in the world.

[@Funstead]

I really appreciate and enjoy these videos. Especially compared to the recent trend of "kid stuck in propeller" or "freediver ran over by boat" that really don't have anything to do with diving and involve people not using common sense.

[@AI-art-makers]

I nearly drowned as a kid in California beach I'm not 100% sure where it was but I was so far out into the water that people on the beach look like little tiny ants. I got hit by a rogue wave after stepping on a jellyfish at that point I panicked it did not sting me but I felt it squishy head underneath my foot and that's when I started swimming like crazy panicking. I was so far out that a shark easily could have swam up next too me the water got slowly deeper as you went out. If I had to guess I was more than a mile out from the beach even the lifeguard would have not noticed me. I was body surfing at the time and I got hit by the rogue Wave and it crushed me so much by the water pressure that every part of my body was unable to move from the weight of the water I basically became a stone tumbling on the ocean floor. I would love to talk about it sometime. If I had been stung by the jellyfish I probably would have died for sure. The weight of the water compressed my body to the point that I could not move a single muscle I could not breathe I was completely stationery but tumbling like a log rolling through the ocean floor and eventually the weight and pressure of the water lifted as the wave passed. I swam to the surface and breathe immediately and then I got back to shore... Was terrifying
