I am claustrophobic and my therapist recommended this channel as a medical treatment. It has been working, thanks Gentlemen. I couldn't even watch 30seconds of your videos last year, now I can just binge and my claustrophobia has gotten way less severe. Thanks Gents,

[@therealdsteph]

that’s actually crazy bc my therapist did too but mine is just too severe, I can watch the vids now but it’s made me even more scared😭😂

[@cmcproductions26]

Dang. I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but I've been watching you guys for maybe 6 months now, and always saw Woody as this goofy diver guy, with a great sense of humor. But now, I see him in a whole other light. The guy's a juggernaut of a diver, and a beast. Watching this, he has absolutely no fear. I hope to get into diving, when I can afford it, and want HIM to be the one to teach me.

[@shinjukucalling763]

A great instructor is vital. My first was pretty bad and kinda killed my interest until I decided to take the same course under someone else.

[@donnieinman8049]

Gus commented that the potential worst feeling for most people is when your being pressed on top and bottom by rock. I was a geology major in college and did a lot of dry caving (only horizontal, no vertical). the one thing I'll never forget is having to crawl through a restriction (maybe 10 feet long, felt like forever) that was so narrow that my hard hat got stuck. Feeling yourself pressed on both sides is a really weird experience. You just have to focus on the task at hand and keep moving.

[@crabmansteve6844]

This is absolutely terrifying, yet amazing. Makes me uncomfortable the entire time yet I have to keep watching. I really don't understand how people can do this.

[@wowfreaker]

Everyone is so caught up in battling between backmount and sidemount that they don't embrace no-mount

[@titansarepeople1797]

Man I've watched so many of these guys videos. Ever since they reacted to the Chernobyl divers, and finally I decided to subscribe, no clue why, but I love hearing you guys talk about diving. My grandfather was a diving instructor for nearly 12 years in Florida. Now I have something I can frequently call and talk to him about, haven't been able to talk to him about stuff he likes pretty much ever. I appreciate these guys more then they'll ever know.

[@DIVETALK]

Thank you for subscribing :)

[@adwinaharford3297]

Great video.. very claustrophobic - even just watching 😲 glad you enjoyed the dive. Also loved the communication.. very interesting that hand signals go a long way...

[@iskraiskra8890]

thats amazing footage... you guys are so brave i cant even belive it... being in a tight cave is one of my biggest fears, than add water to the equasion i am dead lol... big respect to you boyss

[@yungschlaama3323]

SUCH A COOL PERSPECTIVE! i love that gus did the on top of the surface to show how much it changed

[@Darkshadow7827]

I'd love to see a full pre-dive, dive, and post-dive vid. Diving interests me thanks to yall, but I don't plan on learning soon due to other priorities. I'd love to see how you gear up, maybe an abridged prep (so as to not act as a blueprint for other first time or wanna be divers), and even your trek to the cave. Kinda like how there are 3D tours of houses, it'd kinda be like a virtual dive for us non-divers. I'm sure we'd get to see Woody prep and make sure everyone has their 2nd backup snorkel and even 3rd and 4th backup snorkel hahaha.

[@Stratocaster42]

You could offer me a million dollars and I still wouldn't do this dive 😂 I felt claustrophobic just watching but I loved seeing it! Thanks for sharing, Gus and Woody and Mehdi ❤️

[@amyreid8971]

Not a diver but been watching you guys for months now! So entertaining and interesting!

[@beyedoc]

The sound of the water and breathing is so soothing! I feel so relaxed and at home in the water. 🧜‍♀️

[@cougersclaw]

Watching your channel has opened me up to the world of diving and it's even gotten me into some great conversations about things I wouldn't have understood before listening to you two. Thank you so much! Me and my fiance are even thinking about doing some basic beginner classes at a local indore dive center! Won't be going out without training for dayum sure!

[@Phoxinsocks]

I'm 5'7 and 128lbs and even i'm going 'oof that looks like a squeeze.' Awesome dive guys, I'm loving this 'take me along' style content. Keep up the good work as always. Fantastic to see you grow 10 fold in the last year!

[@ybk6858]

I aprecciate it quite a lot a lot that you guys always put up the conversion from feet to meter / pounds to kg. It makes watching your show as an european way easier!

You guys should start reviewing startup caver items and new ones that come up. Also, I think it would be cool for you guys to talk about the gear you guys use and why.

Love the combo of both Woody and Gus's personality :)

I would never fit through there because Gus and I ordered the “Portly” option when God was passing out body types, BUT I am with Woody on this one. It would be amazing to work through that. Considering you are aware of what you’re going to encounter and plan for it, it would be an adventure for sure. Good job Woody. It may have been Devine intervention that Gus couldn’t go.
