How about when Woody wins, Gus has to wear one of Woody's hats during a Dive Talk episode.

[@novastars1]

Yes woody hat on Gus for all shows

[@slayz1515]

Yes that’s the bet

[@dlb83082]

I think that is a fantastic idea - but make sure woody has to hand pump that whole cylinder and report back LOL

[@215maloneboy9]

Lmao I just said same thing

[@qualle0816]

win the challenge and take him to a dry cave 🙂

[@Tsumami__]

*Woody swims by in a pink mermaid mono fin* “Look, honey, it’s the elusive Mer-Woody in his natural habitat.”

[@joshisajedi2461]

I love listening to Gus rip these things apart while Woody tries to make it all sound reasonable. Perfect yin and yang.

[@yesterdayschunda1760]

I am confident that Woody could stay underwater for 30 minutes with that bottle, not sure about coming up again but he will 100% last the full 30 minutes.

[@jonslg240]

Lol Also I'm pretty sure the very first thing is just a regulator, with the hose not visible (though I think it's visible in the 2nd pic, on the left)

[@jonesy66691]

What if he has 50 subnados attached to his suit?

[@blessedx3338]

Lmfao. I sure hope that’s not why Woody was so confident. 😂😂

[@Sean-John]

Did they ever do this

[@lydialeigh4]

That was brutal. thought I had accidentally opened up an ad with a bunch of infomercials you’d normally see in the middle of the night. Definitely want to see the pool challenge though, Woody. Would make it worth watching that to the end. 😅

[@wesleythoman9873]

I second this.

[@Disappointed_Philosoraptor]

Fun fact: The first Item on this list, the "Pearl Diver" is just a regulator. there's a normal hose attached to it on the side the camera isn't showing. It's just a "streamlined, futuriastic looking" regulator, that's it.

[@JohnDLeo-rg8tc]

you would think that the portly, laughing dude who knows only diving theory would have known that fact.

[@rodfransham2907]

Yes, it's just a regulator as you said you can just see the hose to the side.

[@taylormay9938]

Lol I can't believe how far i had to scroll down to find someone else who got it. The guy describing it literally explained it, and you can see the hose in the second unit.

[@taylormay9938]

​@@JohnDLeo-rg8tc Is he not a diver? And what does his size have to do with anything? Sounds like some "portly" guys have hurt your feelings a lot over the years. Let it go, Johnny boy, let it go... 😂😂😂

[@Awksi]

I made it to the end!!! I think the funny argument you guys had over whether or not Woody could make 9 cubic feet last 30 minutes was hilarious. The dynamic between you two makes all of your videos entertaining, including this one

[@herbiegeorge]

haha me too and it was great

[@oradoughball]

I made it to the end. First time here. Fun channel. I'll be back for my thousand dollars;)

[@Jimmy_CV]

I want so see Woody try the 6cf challenge lol. I bet he could make it last 30 min in a pool

[@DIVETALK]

No chance

[@lsewell95]

I would also like to see this. It looks like you just set yourself up for a future video.

[@Nilboggen]

@@DIVETALK Woody might be in trouble it's a 6 cubic foot tank at 3,000 psi. Also that's going to be fun getting that tank to 3,000 psi with a hand pump might want to grab a foot pump or air compressor.

[@Lantern_Larry]

Woody will probably cheat and use his gills if he runs out of air.

[@UNgineering]

trying to pump that bottle to 3000psi with a hand pump? Either Woody will have a bodybuilder physique by the end of it, or a broken back.

[@m3kanik6]

We need the follow up guys, when it happens. A few challenges were issued and the people deserve to know! Thanks, love the channel

[@Nilboggen]

Hearing Woody talk about using a monofin in a pool reminded me of the first time I used flippers not a mono but the dual flippers. I had previously been on the swim team and swam for SUSA and I was a pretty fast swimmer. Then I took a diving class at a local quarry to prepare for a diving trip in the Florida Keys. I was completely floored by how incredibly fast flippers make you compared to without. I have always wanted to try those really big, oversized ones and see how much more thrust they provide.

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

Makes you a damn mermaid. I think they are awesome. But maybe it's a personal issue I can only wear em for so long before I put on freediving fins.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

I'm going to recommend you try finding places where you can test several sizes and shapes for yourself... Up to a point (in my experience) the longer and wider the fins, the faster you can go... BUT the more strain against feet and legs for pushing so much more water to get that thrust. There's a point of diminishing returns, where you still get a little faster, but the boost in speed simply isn't worth the money invested or the stress on your legs. It's probably different dimensions from one diver or swimmer to the next, since we have different purposes and environments as well as simply differently formed and refined muscles and mass. Keep in mind if you Scuba, that the more strain you're under for propulsion, the faster you build up CO2 and the quicker you'll burn through an air supply, too. ;o)

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

@@gnarthdarkanen7464 these are definitely not for scuba.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

@@psychoticdaizyproductions569 People toy around and improperly (according to manufacturers and engineers) use equipment all the time... There are also wonderful things that can be done as a "custom" or "one off" per specific diver/swimmer order... THUS my suggestion. If you've ever been to a "Mermaid Show" you'd also know that while they don't wear tanks like ordinary scuba divers, the performers take turns "sipping" air from a nearby (usually obscured) air tube... It may only ever get to 20 or 30 feet, but it all works about the same as scuba there, too... Either you're breathing under the surface, or you're free-diving... AND CO2 vs O2 IS always a concern under strains under water. ;o)

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

@@gnarthdarkanen7464 um... if you hold your breath after breathing in underwater your lung would pop if you went up a couple meters. I'll stick to free diving. I'm sure it takes some training to do. But. Feck that haha

[@gotahgemini6415]

Your relationship with each other is so endearing, especially when you disagree. lol

[@katiev41611]

Ok the timing of this video was scary on point! I watched “The Meg” yesterday and Jason Statham’s character used this breathing device that required nothing but a mouthpiece and I was like, “I feel like this is not a real thing. I bet Gus and Woody know!” 😂 I literally cannot believe you put this video out today because it has been bugging me and I couldn’t find ANYTHING on the internet lol

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

I think it's just a different style mouth piece regulator? They don't claim that it doesn't get hooked up to a tank or anything. I think it's supposed to be easier to use and less bulky, at least that's what seems to be their selling points..

[@jonathanplant935]

I got the perfect bet for you guys … if woody can stay under for 30 minutes Gus has to wear a pink shirt for a week and if Gus wins woody can’t wear ANYTHING pink ( including dive gear ) for a week 😂😂😂

[@thelorax_]

Gus’s laugh is so delightful and contagious! Love you guys! 🤍🤍

[@savageog7476]

omg just imaging Woody trying all of these things on at the same time is so hilarious lmao!

[@EndThe2plus2equals5]

2:53 when the image comes on with the diver moving his legs to make the device work…I laughed so hard 😂 Gus loses it…best reaction ever. Ya know, if you get into a jam you’ll be forced into a horrible panic while still trying to kick both legs simultaneously- seems legitimate. I love you guys!

[@ScubaGirlsInternational]

🤣 Made it to the end. I'd still test the majority of those in a controlled environment just for the hell of it. Still want to witness the DPV jousting! Might even have to throw down a challenge in my competitive spirit. 2024!

[@matthewstrycharz9068]

The both of you crack me up laughing every time…. Woody I want to see you do the 20ft off that bottle ……. Go for it.

[@Jimmy_CV]

Made it to the end, I feel like several of my brain cells have un-alived

[@DIVETALK]

I can’t believe you watched that whole thing…wow. That video was painful to react to.

[@markmcintosh2276]

Great video as usual. Just had to comment again about how I love how you upload so early in the morning :) makes my morning a lot better. Love from Colorado!

[@IvanimalReacts]

All we really need is to figure out how to convert water to breathable air. I think it’s possible with today’s technology. Woody and Gus should get on that lol

[@eddieguyvh4765]

Nuclear subs have been doing it for years, but they have an infinite amount of electricity to do it. They also don't create air, they only produce O2 from water and scrub the CO2. They have no way to get nitrogen underwater. Basically, nuclear subs are giant rebreathers x)

[@nothereforit.605]

Submarines already use water to make air.

[@ryankennedy6922]

@@nothereforit.605 it helps when u have big nuclear reactor to power the electrolysis. Maybe we can put a small nuclear reactor in a unit the size of rebreather /s

[@nothereforit.605]

@@ryankennedy6922 the person commented “all we really need is to figure out how to convert water to breathable air” they weren’t asking how it’s done. Also, you don’t need a nuclear reactor for it to work. You just power in the form of electricity.

[@ryankennedy6922]

@@nothereforit.605 yeah I realized it was possible but was making a joke about the power requirements. We'd still run into the issue of oxygen toxicity if we didn't dilute the pure O2 with some other gases

[@DocRigel]

I feel like I should have taken notes. I liked this vid. Definitely would love to see you guys do some pass/fail experiments with some crazy underwater gear.

[@Monkeybbstaxx]

Currently you guys have been my favorite KZbinrs and my current inspiration to get my certifications. Enjoy your videos!

[@QueenCousland]

Woody is so cute that he didn't even laugh at first; he tried to make sense of that cursed device. 😂❤

[@75jvs]

This was hilarious, already looking forward to the try-out video! 😂

[@Oheeeoh]

Made it to the end! I have confidence in woody making it 30 minutes on that little tank.

[@beezymeech]

Woody is transitioning to a cephalopod and I support that.

[@I3lazedOne]

I love this guy's videos, he finds the most interesting facts to make videos about

[@Vhalior666]

I would really enjoy a video of you guys testing out some of these funny devices. I think everyone would have a good chuckle and it'd be really interesting and fun to see a couple of professionals rate their usefulness. Pretty please? 😀

[@ryankennedy6922]

Can't wait to see you do that challenge Woody. The bottle is called a Dive Portable Lungs and they have 2 models. Luckily for Woody they showed the 'large' bottle which is 1L, but then that means Gus was right on the money. The bottle is only about 8 cubic feet :0. Good luck Woody you'd need a RMV around .25 cu ft/min which I think could be pulled off if completely still and calm but would still be a challenge and make a great video.

[@lsewell95]

I watched to the end also simply because I wanted to hear your commentary. All I can say is wow, just wow.

[@Rj_Mcgraw]

See you guys in Cozumel in July!!!!! My wife and I love your channel. I also just became a divemaster and love your content. How real you are and don’t act like your absolutely perfect. I try to bring that into classes

[@UNgineering]

Woody, I have to disappoint you, a device that can extract air from water would be impossible. Here are some numbers: at sea level, there's between 0.015-0.025 air by volume dissolved in water. let's assume an average breath of 1L, that means to get a breath of air, the device would need to process between 40 and 65 L of water per breath if it's working with an impossible 100% efficiency. more realistically, you're looking at processing about 100L of water for every breath. Even at 10 breaths a minute, you're looking at pumping through a metric ton of water. A 1000L/min water pump is one of those massive diesel generator-style pumps, definitely not something you can take with you on a dive, much less fit in your mouth. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Pro5.0]

I love your guys' schedule, consistently uploading at 4am PST every time, which is right when I wake up to get my day started! Love your video guys, keep up the awesome work

[@Kylie_Conley]

I love that they think we haven’t watched the ending. Lol! Hanging on every word as always! Thank you for my bubble therapy for the day!

[@brennatarpley6010]

Loved the ENTIRE video simply because I love you two!

[@MsLuckyLucario]

The Mahina Merfin (as seen in the video) is a really popular monofin for mermaiding. So you need to keep in mind, that in the first place it's designed to look good! (mostly worn with a so called skin) It actually has pretty good propulsion, but surely not comparable to a professional monofin as used in freediving. Therefore the Mahina is not as expensive. I personally prefer the Mermaid Linden adult monofin. It's much more comfy to ware and i like the shape much more xD it also has a stiffer blade, which makes you go faster. Maybe Woody should try an actual mermaid class, I'd love it! 😄🧜‍♂

[@mevthe_ghost4504]

I have a Linden too. Now I want to see their reaction to a fantasea fin. 😂

[@dannygreen5477]

It looks like a plastic piece of crap that will kill your ankles.

[@billendres3115]

🤣 lmao I would love to see Woody last 30 minutes on a small cylinder like that. Please make that happen. Oh make sure he has a spare air for safety.

[@2fathomsdeeper]

The bottle is a Spare Air!

[@veighlok]

Lmao.. "If there's anyone still left watching it... these are useless.." The best.

[@SuV33358]

I love the banter and bickering among good friends...☺️ It's very genuine, and entertaining

[@jeremyshelton2306]

Woody has this! 30 minutes easy. Can't wait to see it!

[@HRM.H]

Hahah awesome to see y'all react to this stuff. Requested it a while ago. These products are laughable

[@Leppahcetssalc]

[@Angel-zp8tf]

It’s always good to see you guys talking !!!! Reacting to videos !!! 😊

[@danslulu1]

Loved this video...your reactions are hilarious! Can't wait for the follow up challenge video. My bet is on Woody for the win! P.S. I need one of those Octopus hats; where can I find one?

[@abarrick09]

I belive woody can stay under for 30 min. If I recall they did a test on a spare air for emergency surfacing and Gus lasted only 3-4 min but Woody was able to get 17min out of his and that was swimming and at depth. So 30 min just relaxing seems doable by Woody.

[@sarasmr4278]

Gus had the tiny tank in that one though. Woody's was like twice as big.

[@rodfransham2907]

Looked like a 5 litre or even a 3 litre pony cyl'

[@lydellb]

Woody has experience free diving so he could more than likely do it.

[@MrPitbull117]

I watched the whole video because your commentary on the products is very entertaining, even if some of the products were not. Although, I’ve gotta say that those little booster packs (the small propulsion scooters) look like they could be a lot of fun!

[@protocolsavage8506]

Woody dropping the “oh,…bet.” Had my jaw on the floor 😂😂❤ what a savage

[@LeeLeatherbarrow]

I'm from the UK so don't understand all this "cf" rubbish, but a quick calculation on gas consumption I'd say Woody needs about 480L (@10lpm or less) of gas for 30min dive at 20ft/6m. I think I could do it on a 2L cylinder, so I wouldn't be too confident if I were you Gus... Woody has this...

[@LeeLeatherbarrow]

@MyLazySundae no... Not unless the cylinder has a wp of 4-500 bar...

The "sharkband" device variant was shown on this year's shark week. They proved that be it electrical or magnetic shark deterrent devices, all sharks adapted to them fairly quickly, and became immune to the affects. The breather with the floating buoy, is just a battery powered air pump, that pumps air from the surface, to the diver. There are professional brands with many youtubers using them for river diving. One popular Brand/model is called "BLU3 Nemo Dive System" The under water bubble room thing they showed in this video, also had a variant on shark week. just only, they built and actual living space on the sea floor. bolted to big cement blocks like the ones used as highway dividers. they had the cycle fresh air into it every couple hours from a boat that was anchored above the underwater dry space. That first device in this video, was mostly photoshopped, but was mentioned to have a hose attached. in other words, the same as the portable air pump breather.
