TRY NOT TO REACT CHALLENGE FOR WOODY

I put together a compilation of videos showing "Close Calls" when scuba diving and Woody decides he wants to challenge himself to NOT pause or talk at all for the first 3 minutes of the video...can he do it?

Wait.. people actually complain about frequent pausing? That’s exactly what I love about this channel! As a non-diver, Gus and Woody’s insight helps me understand what makes these videos so “bananas”!

[@DIVETALK]

hahaha thank you

[@user-jg9rp5qf4g]

100% agree. I love it when Woody pauses videos because it's a sign that we're all about to learn something.

The way Woody looks at his phone, makes those faces, and then holds it up to show us makes me think of a teenager sharing gossip with their friends 😂

[@SuperMonkeyJapan]

Woody has such a wealth of knowledge and insight that it hurts to not have him react...but it's also pretty funny watching him hold it all in lol

I'm not even finished watching, but I have to comment lol. Congrats Woody on your victory (even though I like how you pause and explain as it happens.) Instead of a gold play button, you deserve a gold pause button🤣🤣

[@haeudaly]

It's so easy for newer divers to look at something like the wreck scenario and think its no big deal. I especially see this over-confidence in divers with a little bit of experience. When you think you've got skills and there's nothing that could go wrong because you know it all. I see it all the time with newly minted Divemasters that haven't actually experienced a real problem on a dive before. The super important thing that Gus and Woody talk about are the risks of diving outside of your training. There are specific risks associated with specific forms of diving and until you are taught about or experience them, you simply don't know of the possibilities. Its true that an untrained diver can enter a wreck and come out alive, as seen in this video, but in those scenarios, the margin for error becomes extremely small and the consequences become extremely serious. Doing something like this and NOT having a catastrophe occur only furthers the misunderstanding of the dangers, and makes divers even more over-confident to push the limits again. Its a negative feedback loop and a deadly cycle. Don't be that diver. Get training, be humble, and be safe. Nothing in there is worth dying over. Source: SSI & PADI Instructor Thanks for the videos. Love your work.

[@DIVETALK]

Thank you for watching and for insightful comment.

[@betsybarnicle8016]

I was an open water diver with a boyfriend dive partner, and we had been in and founded dive clubs in FL. On a large military-ship wreck dive, my partner started to enter the open doorway of the top portion (bridge?) of the wreck, and I motioned "no", because we both knew: 1) that penetrating a wreck required wreck certification, 2) he didn't have a reel line or other equipment required, 3) it wasn't part of the plan, and 4) he knew I wasn't going to follow, so he was leaving me alone on a large wreck at about 90 feet. He went in and disappeared. I waited and watched for bubbles. Eventually I went and found another couple on the other side of the large ship, but there wasn't anything we could do but wait and see if he showed up. (Going in after him would have been a double mistake.) I stayed with the couple, did our safety stops, got on the boat, and within a few minutes my partner got on the boat. I gave him a piece of my mind, and he was unphased. He explained he'd come out some other doorway on the other side. What upset me more was that our very-safety-conscious dive club and members didn't do much to back me up in reprimanding him for deserting a partner and for uncertified wreck penetration.

[@betsybarnicle8016]

@S M Shortly after that. The writing was on the wall. But he did teach me to Zen dive, which was how to dive with minimal weights, using a combination of gear adjustments, breathing control, and mind control. The goal was a relaxed, controlled dive with 0 to 4 lbs. (warm s. FL, wearing just a skin or bathing suit, no neoprene)

[@divinacaotarot]

Woody is more desperate to get things out than my sister when her water broke. LoL Hilarious and informative. That's what keeps us coming back for more!

[@tayberjk2559]

😂😂😂

[@irishhoopers6899]

Anyone else wave back at Woody when he says hello? Just me? Love this channel. So proud of Woody 🤣 that three minutes looked agonising.

[@The88Cheat]

As soon as Gus said "they thought 'hmm we should go inside'" I immediately had to look at Woody's face lol

[@joddithompson2470]

Woody Woody Woody!! You’re my hero 🦸‍♂️!! I felt the pain but you did it!!

[@Dad_Is_Bored]

The duality here is great. Gus being more "getting business done" guy and woody being "lets have fun and free flow" guy. Then Gus actually does the fun and free flow stuff and actually has a good time!

[@trevorduncan9580]

I for one APPRECIATE woody's explanations! I have only been scuba diving once. Unfortunately, I nearly died... VERY similar story to the one you guys posted (from Rescue 911). HOWEVER, I am older now (was 18 when the accident happened 38 now) and am looking to become certified. I have learned SO MUCH from this channel!! I don't know who these complainers are but I will point out you can FREELY skip around videos in youtube.. JUST SAYIN...

[@kimberlytomitz3876]

OMG!!! I am in tears laughing. One of the close calls with the boat and hanging anchor comes crashing thru the divers and Gus is like, "Excuse me, coming thru!" LOL. Funny shit

[@MrCharz981]

Hey dive talk, in the beginning of watching your channel I didn't necessarily like that woody paused it all the time only due to him asking questions that were answered 30seconds later in the video lmao. But the more I watch the more I appreciate it. And am almost ashamed to say I was bothered by it a little bit. Woody please keep pausing and doing your thing. That's what makes the channel your channel, and you're such a great guy. If anyone has a problem with it they can just either skip through or not watch😉 because it's definitely some of my favorite parts of the videos now not gonna lie. Thank you guys for always going out of your way to provide awesome videos and teaching everyone. I believe it's beyond important to do so! Be safe guys!

[@Cecrophia]

Woody knows himself well! Lmao. This cracked me up. You got this Woody! When the 3 minutes are up I want to hear EVERYTHING. 👍

[@mikesilver9476]

I've been having a rough morning and in a crabby mood, but your first two mins have me smiling and i already feel a laugh building up inside :) thank you guys for your videos.. they always help :)

[@lindzriddb]

I hope your day gets better. You got this.

[@yomama9712]

Eat something tasty, turn on a kickass song and have a better day today buddy!

[@saulgoodman7858]

It's all good man.

[@seedmole]

Can't wait for the Jetski Go Boom challenge! That super-close overhead boat is so terrifying, lines right up with the worst of my water-related fears.

[@slickrtm]

16:30 Rule of thumb for the anchor situation: you should drop 4-6x the depth. It's the weight of the chain that holds the boat in place and not the just the anchor. The chain had almost no slack on it. Also before going off of the boat they should 1. Drop anchor. 2. pull on the anchor (turn the engine in opposite direction of the drop point) and feel the anchor chain tighten. Turn the engine off and drift for some time allowing the boat to come to equilibrium with wind before feeling secure to come off the boat.

[@Dandeb19]

Woody can't love you more. You are so adorable, so intelligent and so much fun...Gus you are perfection with your expressions and comments. Best channel EVER...

[@jilliansmaniotto2326]

you can just see woody DYING inside waiting for the 3 minutes to run. he looks like he’s in physical pain.

[@HereForVideos]

“The kicking technique” hahaha this killed me. I’m at home sick and these videos have made my day. Love you Woody & Gus!!! Love from Chattanooga, TN.

[@Dravianpn02]

I laughed about as much as Gus did. The friendship between you two is extremely similar to one of my best friends. From teenagers to adults I always came up with the crazy ideas whereas my friend is chill and is like "that's a terrible idea. No" I mean we eventually do it, but yeah lol.

[@Old_meg]

that boat going over the guys head just triggered a new type of fear in me

[@Realfishhours]

Now you need to do a video where woody only reacts using his face. That was hilarious.

[@Bourdaga]

6 seconds in Woody is already "pausing" to let Gus know he's going to try to go 3 min without pausing ! I appreciate the pausing as I'm one of your non divers but I've learned a lot and want to start. I was so excited to learn you're in Atlanta and teach because I'm stationed in Valdosta GA right now! But I'll be leaving in October for a new base in Texas so it wasn't ment to be ):

[@SummersideDiver]

I come here for the reactions and pauses. The information you two share, which is invaluable to the general public and to divers like me, is what keep me coming back. Please keep it up.

[@joeluttrell1849]

Lol, the 2nd clip is way off guys. He is dragging his hand along the bottom of the freighter as it goes by. He is not scared at all. This is in the Great Lakes on a shipwreck that at its deepest is about 70 foot. Freighters go by drafting 25 30 foot.

[@amyhatfield7181]

CONGRATULATIONS WOODY ! Love when you guys pause to explain makes us non divers understand your world underwater and the SAFTEY ! Thank you guys BEST KZbin channel !

[@lindzriddb]

I like these compilations because you can learn so much about a bunch of different things in one video. Way to go Woody! It's always fun to test your limits!

[@michellamoureuxm]

This would have been a fantastic April fools idea, the 5 minute woody reaction challenge. But you pause when you have something to say and just stare directly into the camera in silence for the remaining time

[@vedantgupta9092]

Hey DIVE TALK team my question is for gus and woody the question is if you were to only dive one cave for the rest of your diving life what cave would it be.

[@DIVETALK]

There are so many caves I haven't been to so it's hard to answer but right now with my limited exposure to caves I would say Ginnie Springs since that system is so massive and there's akways new places to explore.

[@awkwardautistic]

@@DIVETALK excellent choice...such an amazing spring.

[@dixiewexworth3219]

3 minutes with caffeine in hand...that's like hard mode!

[@montaviasable]

May be a year late but Woody deserves the like for his effort. Personally i do not mind the pauses, in fact i love the format and personality of your videos. Keep up the great content Woody and Gus

[@patricial641]

Oh that was so hard for Woody. He would have found it easier to hold his breath for 3 minutes than his tongue. Nice work! Thumbs up and a tip of the hat to you, sir.

[@stripeyshrimp6351]

Woodys reaction when he can’t talk but has so much to say and he’s mimicking using a line. Comedy + Informational content about diving 👌🏼 🤣🤣

Woody was loosing his freaking mind over there. I honestly didn't think he was going to make it. Good job man.. Keep up the good work. You guys make me aspire to get more training and be the safest diver I can.

I'm fucking crying at Woody holding in his reaction. It's amazing!! You guys are so funny and insightful and I love it. Just found this channel from Mr Ballen and I'm hooked! Had to give the thumb for the 3 minutes.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Woody interrupts Gus within the first 10 seconds to say he won’t interrupt 🤣🤣. Seriously though, great content guys!! Love it!

[@xenostim]

I've seen the original video of the diver underneath the ship. I believe he commented saying that he actually knew that this would happen because he was diving in some sort of shipping corridor, a canal or river. He had the chain tied up for this purpose, thrill seeking. Super sketch Also, Woody's always raising his coffee cup like that. Whatcha got in there, Woody? Irish coffee? 😆 Good job on 3 min btw

[@Maxsmom13]

Congratulations, Woody! You did it! 😂 Love both your commentaries and happy to have Woody's before 3 minutes!

[@ishash2191]

Clocking out of my first job to clock in again at my other job, so thanks for making that much better. Always look forward to your vids!

[@LeJohnathan]

"These guy's all chose Seahorse..." (as their kicking technique.) God, I havent laughed that hard in so long.

[@Gottagetschwifty]

Honestly can not get enough of this channel! You guys have the best personalities. Keep it up!

[@mruss2237]

Definitely like the video playing longer. Not to say I don’t appreciate Woodys input because I do. As a current non-diver with plans to start, the info is both helpful and educational, which is the main reasons I watch your channel. BUT, it is nice to watch the video play without being stopped repeatedly, without breaking up the flow. I feel like letting it play while talking over it is much better as the video can be viewed WHILE being educated about what’s going on. Just my personal opinion. Either way I’m a big fan of the channel. Knowledge from people with high levels of experience is one of the most valuable, n often underrated gifts one can receive. Those of us learning are very grateful for it and just speaking for myself… When I do start diving, I will be more comfortable and ultimately safer because of you. So thank you, sincerely… also.. Woody, sometimes less is more… pausing the pausing 😏👍🏻😁. Y’all are awesome.

[@javierlichtscheidl543]

8:50 is very applicable in life to everything..... "The more you learn, the more you know how much you actually don't know" Great video guys!

I've been laughing full on at Woody trying not to pause or make any noise. Best ever vid! Epic as guys. Well done Woody. Your the boss dude!

[@Darkshadow7827]

Nothing has made me want to learn how to dive as much as watching your vids. Also, I enjoy the pausing. It shows a comprehensive line of thought. As new information happens, you pause and formulate a response or plan. New info afterwards either reinforces a line of thought or branches into a new thought process. If you just watch and then react, you're only reacting to one process as opposed to the countless potential problems or processes. I enjoy how thorough you guys are in these vids. And thanks for keeping it real instead of being melodramatic or exaggerating like other channels.

[@filistraight9425]

I love when you guys pause the video because I love to hear what experts have to say about certain things. I mean, what do people expect it’s called a REACTION VIDEO.

[@reidturing9208]

Great job with the 3 minutes, Woody. What a demonstration of willpower! Thanks for the great video, guys. It made me chuckle, especially "these guys all chose seahorse"

[@C.E.R.4.2.0.]

I found yalls channel like 5 days ago and I haven't been able to stop watching! You guys are amazing I've literally already learned so much from you guys and you never make it boring to learn either! I can't wait to see what else you guys put out

[@lipglos1]

this is so funny!! I love when both of you react though, thats the whole reason I watch!!

[@LordoftheThings327]

I just found you guys the other day and I've been binging your vids nonstop since. I have a Severe fear of the dark and a (frankly inexplicable seeing as I love swimming and developed it out of the random blue) pretty bad phobia of deep water, so I doubt diving will ever be for me, let Alone cave diving But hearing two experts talk about their passion not only in detail but in a very educational way that even laypeople can understand, and with the chemistry and banter you two have going on, is both entertaining and actually super relaxing in its own weird way. I think in one videos you guys yourselves put it that cave diving isn't inherently safe, but can be done safely, and hearing exactly how takes the edge off and lets me enjoy footage of these spectacular underground spaces without the anxiety I used to feel cheers to woody for managing to contain himself for 3 whole minutes! definitely earned that like!!

[@kitzyowo1319]

Man as a Dutch diver who primarily dives in the Netherlands whenever I hear "Visibility is pretty bad" and it's like 5m+ I go "Y'all don't know how good you have it" 😆💜 To those curious, average visibility here is around 3m.

[@gingereden546]

I laughed so hard it brought tears to my eyes on this video... woody, I hope you never listen to the people who complain about pausing to react... thats the entire point and why we are all here! Its 'cave divers react' not cave divers sit quietly watching a video lol I definitely want the knowledge (and entertainment- the delivery of the information is always so wonderful and funny). I liked how mrballen explained silting out to non-divers: "its like trying to drive in a blizzard and flipping on your high beams, zero visibility"

[@markg3305]

I truly do not understand why people complain about the pauses? That's literally the whole point and what makes this so damn interesting!

[@tonyaboggs5367]

You guys are awesome. People that are criticizing you for giving your opinion and facts are on a high horse. They know what you're doing here they just have the biggest ego that they don't want to hear anybody say anything about somebody else because they want to be the one to do it. I'm not into big water and I'm scared of things in the water but I've never seen the ocean and I'm 42 years old. One day I want to see the ocean but I am super terrified after watching your videos LOL but I'm not going to let that take me away from seeing the ocean. You guys are my favorite KZbinrs I've been binge watching you for days. Keep up the good work thank you

[@kevinhaile6591]

I don't mind Woody stopping video's. He's got a lot of useful stuff to say. I've been diving for over forty years and I know much of what you say, but it's good to reinforce the fundamentals of diving. It's like a pro baseball player shagging flyballs. They know how to play the field, but the great ones constantly reinforce the fundamentals of the sport. Thanks and keep up great and useful work!!
