'It's fucking cold down here' 'What's down there?' 'Lots of cold water' I laughed for about 30 seconds at that one.

[@mudlakemicrobes]

Imagine being a sonar operator and coming across these guys laughing it up in submarine territory.

[@horsepanther]

LOL

[@Greenwren]

Captain, it's the fish nerds again.

[@fffrrt-ph2ng]

I think the frequency of a submarine’s radar would destroy them actually

[@Nemesis-LvS-]

@@fffrrt-ph2ng Depends on the distance, but yeah. 130 db is where the sound starts to cause physical pain. 200 db will rupture your lungs, 210 your brain. US sonar is 235 db.

@@Nemesis-LvS- holy shit WHAT

[@VivPhotography]

We NEED a collaboration 😂 This is the most I've laughed in a Dive Talk video. Bravo to Mike Young for suggesting the video - he found Woody's people.

[@MayimHastings]

Yeah, I just kept thinking of that Blind Melon video where the bee girl finds the field of bee people 🤣. But seriously, Mike picked a fabulous video! I love these guys spirits! 🐠

[@VivPhotography]

@@MayimHastings He really did! It's hard to pick a favorite, but I have to say this is my favorite Dive Talk video.

[@ErinMott09]

@@VivPhotography if you want a really good laugh, you should check out their reaction to the Chernobyl divers, it’s hilarious! I had stomach pains from laughing so hard!

[@VivPhotography]

@@ErinMott09 I've seen those! I think I laughed hardest with this video because they had high-pitched voices but adult language. There is something about someone cussing with a chipmunk voice =D I was laughing as much was Gus was....really a great video.

[@teeshark6584]

Omgosh... i literally have tears in my eyes. Every time they said how cold it was I had a fit of laughter but then I would see Gus laughing as hard as I was... and it just amplified the fun! Btw... this would be my kind of diving (except the cold) but you can actually do jumping jacks or stretch your limbs out in every direction as far as you can... the hell with all those tight tunnels and debris fields like Mike enjoys going into, my heart would fail just watching him do it.

[@cathrynalpaugh3072]

The juxtaposition of adult language with "helium" voices just cracks me up. 🤣🤣 Woody, I can totally see you catching fish with these guys!!

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Imagine all the missed opportunities... "If Richard Pryor wrote the scripts for Disney's Chip and Dale Cartoons"... ;o)

[@OnlyKaerius]

I can't help thinking of Donald Duck.

[@morningtime7187]

The swearing and helium makes it sound like Foamy the squirrel went diving 🤣

[@morningtime7187]

Just as an addition, if a fish has a name, its been seen before, probably by these guys last time they visited but any they name have been discovered and catalogued already.

[@SleepInthe_Sand]

“Ichthyes” means fishes, so you have “osteichthyes” meaning fishes with a bony skeleton, and “chondrichthyes” meaning fishes with a cartilaginous skeleton. I’m here for your taxonomy needs!

Hearing them geek out under water with the helium mixture just makes it even better hearing their excitement.

[@Thewhitetile]

Fun fact: deep ocean water is usually between -1 and -3 Celsius (27-31 Fahrenheit). Salt in the water lowers the temperature it freezes which a lot of people know. Fewer people know that the freezing point lowers due to the pressure as well. So the water can actually get colder as you go down. There isnt a point that it stops getting colder unless you are on the bottom.

[@annis037]

The bottom water is always around 4 degree celcius as that is the temperature where water is densest.

[@Somedude20282]

Fucking COLD. Goddamn

[@sliceofheaven3026]

Woody has finally found other fish talkers.

[@biggerandbetterthings7222]

They might tell him where the aliens are!

[@seanstevenson8038]

Richard Pyle is a very well known technical diver. On top of his professional accomplishments, he has been a long time contributor to the technical diving community ever since the days of Techdiver on Aquanaut, particularly on various decompression topics (he was a pioneer of deep stops). He is a high profile user of the Cis-Lunar MK5P rebreather and has a lot of rebreather knowledge as well. I had the chance to sit with Dr. Pyle and Dr. Bill Hamilton (who was involved in developing decompression schedules for the WKPP) over lunch at a UHMS workshop on emergency in-water recompression in Seattle in the late 90's, and I regret that I didn't have the chance to get involved in more comprehensive discussions on a bunch of topics. So much talent in one room.

[@MayimHastings]

Wow 🤩 You are awesome for knowing and sharing all of that, thank you!

[@stevedenruyter4902]

Wow, and like you said most tech divers know Pyle and Hamilton, but I don’t think they teach this to new divers these days. And seeing what the Wkpp achieved over the years 😳🥰 I was lucky to actually got dpv cave certified by one of the first wkpp members 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Madeyes6]

I’ve used Pyle stops for years. When you start your ascent you stop for a minute every time you half your depth until you get to your planned or computer stops.

[@simonp4089]

Got to the question ‘are they famous’ around 17 mins and was going to post that. Was surprised to hear no mention of ‘Pyle-stops’ in the intro.

[@aimeeprincessofpower]

Alvin and the chipmunks if they went diving !! lmao!!! That guy has memorized and knows all the latin names for every single species

[@ange4048]

That’s what makes it funnier…. Only a scientist would use its scientific name. That far underwater. With a mask on, knowing how hard it is to understand one another. As a fellow nerd this made me lol so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@celthyan-music1118]

I wanna tell you something. Among maybe a thousand youtubers I've watched on KZbin, you are literally the only ones that I cannot skip, or listen in the background. I discovered you a few days ago and I've alreadt watched dozens of your videos. You're so interesting, mostly when you both share your experience. I really love this format of video, it's like chill but you also learn from it. I also like the fact you have sometimes completely opposite points of view on certain subjects and it makes it so interesting when you debate. Btw I'm afraid of scuba diving, and I still don't know if I'd able to do that but it's certainly a passion that fascinates me...Never stop doing videos! :D

[@DIVETALK]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@lydialeigh4]

This was so f--ing funny you guys! I made the mistake of watching this during lunch and had several people laughing along with me and they had no idea what I was watching. I spread the joy, just like you guys do. Thanks Mike Young! This was interesting and hilarious - loved it!

[@AudraK]

The hyperthermia Tourette’s video was priceless!😂 I loved the random noises he would make and would have loved to be there laughing with them

[@AbhijitRoy01]

Dr Richard Pyle is also responsible for introducing the concept of deep decompression stops. It’s fascinating to read how he came to the deep stop method…

[@JadedBelle]

Thanks for the info! I'm definitely looking into the story of how this happened asap!

[@SpookyBur]

Any recommendations on how to attain this knowledge? Like an interview or a book I can look into I would love to know! ❤

[@AbhijitRoy01]

@@SpookyBur I think I read about it in my Technical Diving learning material. Will look around

[@danniellesloane]

As a non diver, but someone who is fascinated with ichthyology and entomology, I love this video, and I adore watching Woody almost unable to contain himself watching these sorts of videos. After a long week at work, this really brought me joy. From an Aussie lover of all bodes of water and the life they contain, but preferably from above the surface ❤️

[@icegypsy99]

I really enjoyed that one. Reminds me of my husband and his birding. It is pretty amazing to be able to distinguish the different species like that. My husband is a wildlife / bird photographer. I will go out on shoots with him, and he'll be naming birds left and right. I'm like "oh the little brown bird" Looks like the other "Little brown bird" He'll be like "No...can't you see the stripe there, or the yellow dot on his head" etc. I'm like "they are exactly the same" LoL

[@evel.6024]

I laughed along with you two & loved how Woody explained why it is so impressive that these men just ID these fish on sight alone. The knowledge librabry of fish charistics and appearance they must have learned by heart. Just respect. (and their happiness and exclamations at the sight of cute fish, just glorious!)

[@mwarwick3876]

It's like going on a fish finding expedition with an R-rated Donald Duck! I've had this lingering migraine for 3 days now and it was so nice to be distracted by something hilarious and informative. Thanks guys, I needed this video today :)

[@_Kayla_]

I know this shouldn't be the main thing I'm getting from this video... but how do you take each other seriously with those helium voices 😅 I have just never thought of it haha, gave me a chuckle. This is a phenomenal video though, really proves how much we still have to learn. The amount of knowledge those men have is absolutely mind boggling. Wow. Incredible. Edit: My new favourite thing ever, hearing men with helium voices talking about "tiny baby fish" and whinging about the cold. It's so cute 🤣

[@Biodoc100]

From someone who works with a lot of different types of scientists, the wildlife/organismal biologists are a special breed... Hilarious though!

[@emilyc8958]

This was such a sweet video- I loved the scientists being so excited about finding the fish and the play by play of the cold xD. And Woody deeply appreciating the knowledge of scientists was lovely too, and Gus just cracking up along with me😂 great video guys😊

[@MisfitReptilesAquatics]

Dr., Pyle is pretty well known in the fish community, Hes a really smart and good Fellow I could only dream to do what he does!!

[@Stimm002]

Brian Green is very well known within the scientific community, versed in many fields not just fish. He's funny as hell in person too.

[@craignorris6961]

I have not laughed that hard in a long time. I was crying. Love your guys channel. And you can tell your good people.

[@michaelfallen1564]

Aside from discovering new species, some of these deepwater fish sell for $10k+ to collectors in the saltwater aquarium hobby.. Seeing videos of the collection process makes you realize why they are so expensive. As a fish nerd and saltwater aquarium keeper myself, these videos are always very interesting to watch!

[@danniellesloane]

Props to you! Salt water aquariums are a lot of work

[@Cognitoman]

Holy shit really ? Makes me wanna try to learn this skill and make some money lol 😂

[@kierenhotine1310]

That is 2 passionate 'fish nerds' that have worked so hard to get where they are, and are now waking up doing something they truly love while contributing to our planet! Is there anything more awesome!? P.s. I couldn't even ID my own fish in my little aquarium, that I PUT IN THERE! and these 2 are swimming around the biggest aquarium pulling out new fish! 🤣 GREAT video! Keep up the hard work, much love!

[@MichaelHarto]

That guy never went to work even for a single day. He's living his best life everyday.

[@travispawliuk5568]

Richard is awesome. Had some great exchanges with him way back when I was getting into tech diving in the late 90s. Super open about his experiences with dcs and the mistakes that lead to it.

[@007Tydog]

I've seen a ton of your videos and was tickled to see this react video of 2 of my colleagues! Our Mesophotic Ichthyology team at California Academy of Sciences collaborates with Rich and Brian over the years. There are very few of us fish nerds that dive to these depths and we all sound like this hahaha. We absolutely call out scientific names underwater when we get excited, we rarely use "common names" at all. Woody is correct and we all consistently need to stay in tuned for fish biology and new taxonomy for these regions to know "who is seeing what where." Rich is an absolute legend and pioneer in rebreather technology and our mesophotic fish ecology field, a true inspiration to us all. I have to call out, how easy Brian Greene makes fish collecting look. Trigger fish are easier to catch because they do hide in holes, so I would have grabbed it too; but Brian is truly one of the best fish collectors in the world. Much respect to our friends at Bishop Museum for their amazing work! Love the channel and reaction, Gus and Woody! I'm based in Atlanta now with friends in Dive Ops at Georgia Aquarium. Hoping our paths cross soon, maybe even a dive together!

[@MayimHastings]

Those two guys sounding like Kyle and Kenny from South Park made me laugh even harder 🤣Thank you guys so much for making these videos (and thanks to Mike, too!). And Gus, you did great, it is pronounced ick-thee-ology! Love y’all 🙏

[@scottkelly9052]

What a fantastic team together, it's simple to understand, Woody's right, that you can look, and immediately identify them, AND they know right off the bat whether it's undiscovered, pure gem, Go Gus and Woody!!!!!!

[@chrism2734]

Love this, this was amazing. Reminds me of my father back in the Gulf of Mexico back in the day when you can legally collect your own species he had stories for days on how they would hand catch things than acclimate them to bring them back up to the boat. AMAZING!!!

[@Mellypepper]

These men freaking love their job. They're having the time of their lives. Cracked me up! I so want to see Woody on a dive with them.

[@patrickrw01]

That was hilarious! Definitely done that a few times diving in Lake Michigan and Lake Wazee. I think it helps lol!

[@dennisburke4509]

Now I know what it would be like if Daffy and Donald Duck did a dive together

[@JLGolf26]

LOL the cold water talk part of the video had me laughing so much🤣.That helium voice made it even better.

[@JamesSmullins]

There's a video of a couple divers on trimix off south east Florida like this. They were down around four hundred feet of memory serves and was just as funny when they crossed the thermal cline. There's little funnier than divers cussing the cold while breathing helium.

[@JOKICisdGOAT]

Plot twist: Gus sets woody up for a day of fishing with these legends… Gus tired of waiting goes ahead and submerges for some beautiful views while awaiting HIS guests. The guests(“experts”) hit the water ready to go! But as soon as they submerge not even 3 feet, one notices at 10 o’clock and moving swiftly and gracefully a fish that’s never been identified before! 5 minutes later they have it netted and it’s fighting extremely violently but they can’t wait to get to the surface and show Gus there new find. Upon breaching the water Gus is caught in disbelief, why did they net WOODY?! 😮😂

[@comadoser]

I'm working on my masters in biology that involves amphipod taxonomy. The naming process is a really cool. Basically, morphology and genetic sequencing provides accurate placement within the proper genus. The species name is typically what the scientist actually names. Love your videos guys!

[@supercaulin]

I'm crying over the dude complaining about how cold it is 😂

[@mikesbigadventures194]

So Dr Richard Pyle the guy who invented Pyle Stops. Aka deep stops for decompression. And still diving. Very cool

[@tonyvelasquez6776]

When they find a fish, you can usually tell what genus it is by how it looks. Pinning down the species is much harder, but these guys are pros. When they name, they get to pick the species name, not the genus. The genus has already been established. Plectranthias esquire-- plectranthias is genus, esquire is species.

[@kathigreen1479]

Omg, that cold water segment had me Rollin!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I haven't laughed that hard in a loooong time. Thanks!! 😄

Can't wait for a new video every week, I have a massive fear of open water and where I can't see the bottom, so seeing it vicariously through you guys is amazing! Your channels growth has been amazing in the past months and it's beyond deserved. Keep it up boys!!!! ❤️

[@davidnicolas8019]

bwhahahahahaha. The helium effect is belly laugh inducing when he is rattling off the species like he found a bar of gold. Fish nerd indeed. Whenever you hear that there are 5 billion species of fish in the ocean, these are the guys who are finding them. Someone has to do it and it's obvious these guys do it very well. Bravo.

I loved watching this video! Between your commentary & the explanations you gave on the icthyologoists' significance, this clip was very informative. As someone who's been self-teaching in marine biology & ornithology (study of birds) my entire life, I can relate to these scientists. It is so nice knowing that you're informing others about stuff like this because it's all significant to some degree. Thanks for everything & keep up the good work!
