Divers React to a VERY TIGHT Cave Dive in Florida!

My husband just reached remission from cancer and we are so thrilled. My comment is to say thank you! I am not a cave diver. But for whatever reason these videos have taken my mind off of things and given me a break from worrying about stuff. Thank you!

I watched them for the same reason … take my mind away from family worries…

[@sariahford4565]

I used to think only stupid reckless crazy people did cave diving but after watching your channel for a few months now I'm a lot less scared of it and also realize how cool it can be and have a lot of respect for people who do it.

[@Victor-ji1rz]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you. I started watching you a few months ago when I was in a very bad place in my life and you helped me through it a little bit. You inspired me to pick up scuba diving. Today I finished getting my PADI open water + advanced open water certifications and I am looking forward to keep getting better and eventually get cave certified. I wish I lived in the US and could have one of you as an instructor. Hope to meet you guys some day and thank you again.

[@DIVETALK]

Congratulations!

[@cmcproductions26]

That's awesome man. I hope to be able to get into diving as well one day. I've had a very difficult time in life the past 7 years or so. Been battling severe depression, and anxiety. I attempted suicide this past November, and police looked for any reason they could to throw me in jail, and they succeeded. Instead of making my life more easy, they made it more difficult. I caught a malicious mischief charge 3rd degree, for a small fist indentation in my own hallway closet door, that I did over a year prior, and didn't even mean to punch through it. They tried saying it was my girlfriends property but the house was equally both of ours. Now I'm on probation. So things have been hard. I think diving would be something that would help lift my spirits.

[@opaljones1560]

@cmcproductions26 I’m really sorry to hear that, I have dealt with similar things myself, on and off, for a good 10/15 years. Why did the police *want* to put you in jail? That’s what I can’t understand. I see you’ve explained why (although putting you in jail for a dent on your own property!? What!?) I hope you’re doing better these days anyway. Much love from the UK.

Dead man diving

[@sudokode]

I think one of the most beautiful things about these caves (and I know this might sound weird) is when you get air pockets on the roof of the cave that shimmer just like the surface of water. It looks so trippy, especially when they exhale and all the bubbles go up and disappear into the ceiling.

[@Vincerama]

it is cool, but it's also somewhat damaging in certain environments. Like in a coral reef, wherever air gets trapped ... any coral polyps trapped in that little air pocket will die. In a shipwreck, wherever bubbles are, the wood will get damaged. I'm sure part of cave diving/shipwreck diving training mentions the effect of bubbles.

[@tenzinsmith]

@@Vincerama in some caves, especially rarely-dived or previously undiscovered ones, there is a certain amount of particulation; tiny pieces of rock and dust raining down that got dislodged by bubbles. The caves themselves are quite solid though, and as far as I know it hasn’t ever caused some type of structural issue or significant damage. This is becoming less of a concern as closed-circuit rebreathers become more of a tool of choice for exploration-which don’t leave any bubbles at all. A small amount would be vented from the counter-lungs and your drysuit upon ascending, but these are tiny and negligible.

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

sudokode ~ that doesn't sound weird at all... I thought the same thing! Those air pockets look like little lakes all by themselves!

[@tylerjodoin1633]

People who do caves this right are on a different level , I have anxiety issues in tight places like that , although your videos made me get certified because one day I’d like to cave dive, I don’t think I could ever do something this tight

That part at the end where you thank him for taking time to do interviews with you. Even tho they have a bigger audience is huge. A lot of people wouldn’t and it’s nice to point it out when it happens. Without you I would’ve never heard of their channel, so I wouldn’t have considered that

[@akant74]

I love the very real conversation with you four at the end. Just a bunch of diving friends talking about what you love.

[@Avionne_Parris]

I think that restriction would've been more claustrophobic-inducing if Jonathan and Todd weren't so calm the whole time. Those clear GoPro shots and awesome background music certainly helped as well. Atmosphere is key. Gus and Woody swapped personalities in this episode: Gus said he'd consider going no mount if there was a UFO to explore on the other side while Woody decided against doing the cave BECAUSE of the no mount factor. Interesting. "In five minutes, all the silt will be totally gone." Five minutes versus two days, flow makes all the difference! Thanks for starting my week with a smile guys! Some heroes wear capes, others wear fins :-)

[@bencheevers6693]

This cave is like the one from the video where the guy is crawling through a dry cave while the water is rising, that one almost gave me a heart attack, it's so much less scary. This one is super tight and the guys did great, I still can't get over how crazy that guy was in the dry cave.

[@xvor_tex8577]

I love that woody kept his word and dove this cave

Hi Guys, I am really enjoying your channel. I’ve learned so much. I’m not a cave diver or even a scuba diver and at 61 years old I probably won’t take up the sport. I just love learning about new things and your channel is a great resource. My husband finds it hilarious and asked if I was qualifying for my virtual cave certification. I told him no, but in my next life I’m definitely taking it up, so I’m getting a head start!

I do like that you guys take in consideration of explaining basics about diving equipment. It definitely helps me understand.

I have never been cave diving, I don't have any particular interest in doing it, but I really really enjoy dive talks. I especially like when there is a surprise guest from the video (you guys are reacting to) at the end of the episode. I guess it's my version of cave [youtube] diving.

Thanks a lot woody and Gus, I have been non stop watching every single one of your videos for the past month. I have decided to get my open water cert to get my foot in the door into the long process of training to one day be able to dive a cave. I am about 20 minutes from Jacob’s well (found you looking into Jacob’s well) I love the enthusiasm you and Woody exhibit during these reactions and I think that diving is one of the most beautiful things you could ever do. Anyways thanks and keep up the amazing work.

When you have a total silt out situation and the second or third person decides to thumb the dive, would it be helpful to have a predetermined sound signal (like blowing a whistle once or twice) to those in front you, who can’t see you, that you are turning around?

I love your channel! I actually know where this is! There’s another small cave close by that has a very low cliff above it. As teenagers, we’d jump off the cliff, go through the cave and pop up inside an opening (it’s only like a six feet distance) that leads back to the shore. It’s close to Blue Springs. I grew up on Merritt’s Mill! Awesome to see this on your channel!!

im terribly claustrophobic and watch your videos hoping that facing my fears in such mild manner might help to cope with them. still sweat like a pig every time i watch this. my heart drops and i feel pressure in the chest, but i really really want to defeat this and maybe cave dive one day. I had some scuba diving training before and dared to free dive in Seven Sisters Spring. It was terrifying as hell but at the same time it literally best experience in my life. Those underwater caves, sinkholes - its a miracle and i want more of it. So even if i will never manage to defeat my fears and dive in those gorgeous places - at least those videos makes me a little bit closer to this miracle.

[@roylovett4052]

I agree. You guys have a great channel that brings joy and knowledge to your viewers " me being one" I was always terrified of divin but now I'm just fascinated....getting certified soon!!!!!

That would be too much of a squeeze for me at least underwater. One of the caves I'm going to get my rescue training in has a 100 foot exit called the birth canal that's like where they stopped. But that's a dry cave so I'm feeling more comfortable about it. What is getting me is it's rattlesnake cave and not unusual to find western diamondbacks at the bottom of the 15' repel in and around the bottom. I like snakes but not in the dark lol
