Jonathan Gets Cave Certified! | JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD

[@melschevelle]

I love how he explains things like a dad would. Easy to understand, funny and confident🥰

[@BlueWorldTV]

I am a dad, so maybe that helps??? LOL

[@Yggdrasil42]

Having just finished my Full Cave certification in Tulum, Mexico I wanted to rewatch some of the videos that inspired me. Jonathan, this is one of the videos that peaked my interest the most and got me excited about it. It took a few years of training to reach the required skill and comfort level but it was so worth it. The training is fun and the Mexican cenotes are beautiful. Can't wait to visit Brian in the Bahamas someday soon.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Awesome to hear!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

This segment was filmed in 4K and released in the new 1080/60p KZbin format. If you watch this at its highest quality, it actually looks better than you can get on HD television.

[@darwin-evolution3948]

I love your videos so much that you've become one of the many people to inspire me to become a marine biologist. And, wanting to become such a scientist, know a few interesting dive sites : The Great Blue Hole, Belize Reef _ The Grand Cenote, near Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico _ The Zacaton sinkhole, Aldama, Tamaulipa _ The Cenote Ik Kil, Yucatan, Mexico _ Stingray City, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands _ Bloody Bay Wall, Little Cayman, Cayman Islands _ Dean's Blue Hole, Long Island, Bahamas _ Jellyfish Lake, Rock Islands, Palau _ The Monterey Bay Kelp Forest, Monterey Bay, California _ The Great Barrier Reef, Australia _ Shark Bay, Australia _ Lake Baikal, Russia _ The Davidson Seamount _ The Meeting of the Rio Negro and the Amazon rivers, Brasil _ The Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents _ The Salomon Lagoon, Salomon Islands _ The Razorback Islands, Ross Sea, Antarctica _ Turtle Rock, Ross Sea, Antarctica _ Dragon's Breath Cave, Namibia _ Lake Victoria, Ouganda/Tanzania _ The Galapagos Hydrothermal Vents _ The "Jacuzzi of Despair" Brine Pool, Gulf of Mexico _ The Poor Knights Islands Kelp Forest, New Zealand _ Challenger Deep, Marianna Trench. Please tell me if you have ever been to any of these, or have plans to go there.Thank you !

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Evolution That is quite a list! You better get busy!!!

[@powersurge9504]

+Evolution Me too, I want to be a marine biologist because of Johnathan! But I still have to finish high school.

[@darwin-evolution3948]

+sergio hernandez Jonathan is amazing, but he is only one of a huge list of people who've inspired me : Alexandr Oparin (soviet biochemist who was the first man to assume that Life began in the oceans); Alexander von Humboldt (prussian explorer who traveled around the globe, describing many marine species); Alfred Russel Wallace (british naturalist who, along with Darwin, first convieved the theory of evolution through natural selection); Carl Woese (american microbiologist who divided the tree of life into three distinct branches : Bacteria, Archea and Eucarya); Charles Darwin (british naturalist who, along with Wallace, first concieved the theory of evolution through natural selection); Chris Packham (english naturalist who is known for hosting many BBC wildlife programmes including "Springwatch", "The Wonder of Animals" and "Nature's Weirdest Events"); David Attenborough (british broadcaster and naturalist who is best known for presenting the "Life" series and narrating many more documentaries); Edith Widder (american marine biologist who is an expert in bioluminescence and one of the team who successfully filmed a giant squid underwater); Ernst Haeckel (german biologist who mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms); Gerhard Jarms (german scientist who is one of the most renowned medusae scientists in the world); Jim Al-Khalili (iraqi-born british theoretical physicist who has used the theory of quantum mechanics to explain many biological events); John Veron (australian specialist in corals and reefs who has discovered and described hundreds of new coral species); Jonathan Bird (american cinematographer and diver who is best known for being the host of BlueWorldTV); Kate Humble (english television presenter who has presented a number of wildlife and science programmes for the BBC); Mary Anning (british fossil collector and palaeontologist who is best known for making major discoveries among Jurassic marine fossil beds, including a complete skeleton of an icthyosaur); Mike deGruy (american underwater photographer who is best known for filming most of the scenes of "Life in the Freezer", "The Blue Planet" and "Pacific Abyss"); Richard Dawkins (english ethologist and evolutionary biologist who is well-known for many works on evolution); Steve Backshall (english natiralist who is best-known for presenting BBC's "Deadly 60" and for diving with many dangerous animals including great white shark, electric eel and sperm whale); Steve O'Shea (new zealander marine biologist who is known for his reshearch on giant squid and for being part of the team who first filmed it underwater); Tsunemi Kubodera (japanese zoologist who was one of the team who successfully filmed a live giant squid underwater).

[@FeJotaTakinOva]

+BlueWorldTV I liked the older tune more... This new one is cool, but needs some fixing in the mix. Still... I don't really think it works better than the previous one with the theme of the whole channel, but those decisions are up to you guys :) Keep doing these videos, they're amazing!

[@saidabimelec8506]

Hey Jonathan and crew I'm not sure you remember me but I was just a simple person with a dream to dive for a livng but for economic reasons I couldn't enroll on a course or much less buy my gear. Still after maybe three years I'm enrolling on my advanced course and own my own gear. With hard work and patience almost anything is possible and I wanted to thank you for inspiring me and many many others to learn and protect our blue world. I hope that someday I am able to help our oceans in a relevant way and you guys keep doing such a great job. I've never been happier and if anyone else is reading this all I say is I thought I would never be able to be where I am now but such is life. If you really want it go and get it...!!! It is never too late...

[@ricardomontalban6004]

Did you learn how to get your flippers on yet?

[@johnobama6754]

How much the cost of underwater swimming suite with cilender, mask, fins & camera?

[@eightfifty2309]

Dat visibility tho. Its almost crystal clear as thin air!

[@oceanpacific886]

Till you kick the sand in the bottom…and you then you are totally blind

[@chrisspayd8662]

Congrats Jonathan, on your new certification! My daughter and I can't wait to see more cave videos! Your team is doing a great job!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Chris Spayd Thanks Chris. We stayed with Brian for a few days after my course was over and filmed in the "Crystal Cave" which is the most amazing place I have ever seen. That will be another episode in a couple months--just so we don't put cave videos back to back. Next month we need some sharks!

[@hyd119]

What a marvelous channel, Jonathan. Certified mad lad for going into a cave much less one that is underwater. Good work.

[@marksaid6587]

I knew scuba diving, especially cave diving, is not that easy but until now I never realized how much attention to details and care is needed, even for just making the very first step into a cave, and for safety reasons. Jonathan, at certain points in the cave, are you sure that there was water in them? I was amazed by the clarity and stillness of the water. You three seemed like your were floating in mid air. Thanks for this great video! You and your team do a marvellous job! Keep it up, all of you. Oh, by the way, Jonathan, congratulations for you cave diving certificate achievement.

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Mark Said Thanks Mark! It was really fun and challenging and I really had a great time doing it. There was no question that I had to learn new skills and be pushed to new limits.

[@Flickchaser]

It would appear from the video that caving ""without"" proper instruction and certification is a form suicide. Had no idea of the detail planning and procedures for caving that far exceed the average recreational divers training. Well done. Outstanding photography and imagery resolution.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Almost 100% of the deaths associated with cave diving are by untrained divers. Among properly trained cave divers operating within the rules, cave diving is extremely safe. But since there are so many deaths from untrained divers, the sport is considered dangerous.

[@ricardomontalban6004]

Hoodathunkacayvwoztrikky?

[@ny6u]

A Full Cave diving Certification is useless unless you’re prepared to spend time keeping your skills polished and doing at least one cave dive every month perhaps more often. You will quickly lose your edge if you don’t practice these skills and become a danger to yourself. This is the main reason I never got the full cave certification

[@Hulksterx]

Ohh I'm loving the new 60fps and wow that cave looks beautiful!

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Such Wow Gamer Thanks for noticing. I think the 60p looks awesome!

[@jonathansantos6009]

I’m glad this video was made. It can help many people to attest consider the safety issues required. Having confidance in diving gear equipment and knowing what experience cave diving might demand is very useful. Knowing all the tips,rules, techniques and terminology is key for a safe cave diving experience. I do appreciate the style of reconfigured equipment placement is necessary. Helmets and flashlight communications. Thank you sharing and congratulations on your cave diving certification.

[@jonathansantos2271]

Yes, watching this video again openly and easily likes to keep renoticing how Jonathan's Bird's comments are accurate and grouppropriate❤ That longer breathing tube is a beautiful way of practical loving. Great pointingency. For safer cave diving experience (detailed leveled) That blind exercise was a great example in case of emergency. Finding the line and feeling for the triangle point in the right set standard direction. I am glad we had such an example video. No one else came close, it took a awhile. Wow, for moving gracefully through those cave columbs and gently qualifying a style suggested for many years To come. Exams are useful. Even mapping the cave can help people care more somehow❤ updating supports and matching accuracy, and or grace contests? Good memory exercise from the first time divers per-cave and best drawing grace mapped.

[@tomgra3494]

[@shallnoTfear]

This was excellent! I can't even swim yet but hope to get into cave diving in future years. Thanks for the details

[@darinlisonbee2477]

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Darin Lisonbee That's cool! Ah, technology!

[@RandomRobotOnYouTube]

I seriously love your cave diving videos. such adventure and courage in your soul.

[@edhillard441]

My reward is what I have just seen! Beauty of a cave thats blows your mind. Thanks to Brian Kakuk in teaching cave diving to are esteem host. Who knows how to captivate the viewer in every way. Thank You Jonathan! "Who's # 1" Next time give me a guild line as I watch, I could get lost in seeing those formations, in the windows of my mind.

[@gracedavies8758]

I love watching your videos so much Jonathan!! They are so interesting and you truly are such an inspiring person!! I cried when you got your cave diving certification haha!! Don't ever stop doing what your doing!! I'm your number 1 fan!! Xxx

could you please make a series about diving tips and tricks, like in equipment and for new divers. Because you are obviously an experienced diver, thanks. by the way, i love your videos, they combine my 3 passions, nature, photography, and diving. and just in case it wasn't too obvious, you inspire many people like me

[@MicrowavedCarrot]

Loving the new intro, and the 60 fps.

[@BlueWorldTV]

+MicrowavedCarrot The 60p is so awesome, huh? You can actually see it the way we do when we edit--better than broadcast quality!

[@Snyper20]

Such a beautiful episode! Keep up the amazing work!

[@MatiUrb]

already watched like a dozen of your videos where you cave diving, but still, CONGRATULATIONS Buddy!!!

[@Shootingstar128]

You have inspired me to become a marine biologist

[@powersurge9504]

Wow, you need a wetsuit for 75 degree water. Johnathan Bird, you may call me crazy but I went swimming shirtless on a 42 degree water and didn't get sick!

[@BlueWorldTV]

+sergio hernandez So the funny thing is that most people wear a 5mm or even a 7mm suit in those caves because the dives are so long (2+ hours). Believe it or not, 2 hours in 75° water gets colder than you think. When I showed up with a 3mm, Brian was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it through the dives without being cold. As it turns out the 3mm was fine for me because I'm hot blooded and I wear a hood.

[@powersurge9504]

Hey thanks for the info! Your the best!

[@R.Gresco]

Thank you guys! Keep 'em comin'!

[@JustSomeGuyWhoisLost]

My dad is always watching you, and today he passed down the torch to me.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Congrats!!

[@benjamincreem4843]

Revsiting this after learning Zack is getting cave certified in the q&a video. You guys are living the dream.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yeah, we are. Covid is the nightmare in my dream though!

[@BlueWorldTV]

It's a bummer that Zach can't do the "zero to hero" class that I did and just bang it all out in 8-9 days. He is doing each of the 4 classes on a different shoot because we can't spare him for the whole time.

[@Bejman13]

I was wondering if you are ever going to get your skydiving certification as well as being a cave diver. I think it would be a great addition to this channel if you could skydive as well.

[@BlueWorldTV]

No way! I'm afraid of jumping out of airplanes!!!

[@rohitpal7212]

There was always something about cave diving which intrigued me..after watching the episodes I am sure I am doing this ..this is marvellous thanks jonathon..🌊

[@jayvendeleon901]

Please jonathan use the old song of the intro i kinda miss the old song and jonathan i am proud of you for making a another episode so very proud

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Sir Gamer We wanted to give the 5th season a little new flavor so we had Bruce Zimmerman (series composer) come up with an "Indiana Jones" flair version of the theme. I know it's weird at first. It will grow on you though. I still am not used to it.

[@jayvendeleon901]

+BlueWorldTV oh ok sorry for asking you to change i kinda like it now and very proud of you for making new episode

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Chastity Couvertier Tell Dereck thanks for watching and only 4 more years until he can get a junior scuba certification!!

[@kamolkin5435]

i'm a big fan of your work jonathan, keep it up. Also, by any chance would it be possible for you to do a segment on ocean sunfish. They are such majestic and unique creatures that are not much given much attention on, it would be great if i can understand them better.

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Kamol Kin We had one scheduled a couple years ago but we had bad weather and the trip was cancelled. We will definitely get back to it someday.

[@pontan8084]

+BlueWorldTV Hey jhonnathan, i am a HUGE fan and i wanted to ask you something: Could you perhaps visit the wreck site of the MS ESTONIA? Its in the baltic sea. It means so much for me if you could do that because my aunt died on it. 852 People died. However the ship got coverd in concrete down there a while ago. but it whould be awsome eh? The ship sank 1994 BTW

[@LPRD]

BlueWorldTV you should come to Bali then. They are quite common here and you have very little chance of bad weather

[@SummersideDiver]

Such an awesome experience! Between your videos, and my buddy’s enthusiasm to get cave certified, I may have to do it as well - although I feel like I have a long way to go before I’m ready for caves.

[@BlueWorldTV]

As a general rule, you should not start cave training until you have at least 100 logged dives and you are super comfortable with diving, and confident of your skills.

[@SummersideDiver]

@@BlueWorldTV I’m well aware of the importance of being experienced and comfortable with all the skills before embarking on cave diving. I’m happy to spend the time to gain skills and progress with that as a potential eventuality, even if it never happens. There is always something fun and interesting to explore underwater.

[@mynameiswrm]

I remember when I first started diving side mount. It took a little getting used to but it is so much more comfortable! And convenient

[@BlueWorldTV]

I agree. I love it.

[@TheLockpick10]

[@KB-gd6fc]

I see a good bit of Dive Rite gear here. I just ordered a complete set of Dive Rite sidemount gear and will start learning sidemount soon. I am seriously considering getting into cave diving at some point in the future.

[@polsh]

[@BlueWorldTV]

The old theme made me get a more aquatic feeling but this one gives me an heroic feeling, wich is just as nice. :D

[@Blazing19721]

WOOOOW...God's creations are truly amazing... Great video Jonathan and I see that it is a lot of work and training. There is a lot more to see under the water than on land. I love the water and there is always something new to see even when you dive same place before. keep up the GREAT work.

[@amaranto01pe]

QUE INCREÍBLE,...QUE MARAVILLA,...MUCHAS GRACIAS SR Jonathan,....!!!

[@TheGowmaster]

Congratulations on earning your cave diving certificate, Jonathon. I'm a little curious to how many diving certificates he has achieved now. I assume a lot.

[@BlueWorldTV]

+TheAnimator727 Not really many to be honest. I have never been much into the certification game. When I started diving there were only a few (open water, advanced open water, etc.) and then they started coming up with all these silly specialty certifications like drysuit diver and night diver. ( I mean who needs a special C-card to go night diving for crying out loud?) I only have a handful, including open water, advanced open water, nitrox, a couple rebreathers, O2 provider, and now cave diving. I have absolutely zero certifications in scuba instruction. Not even divemaster or rescue diver. I am not interested in teaching scuba and I don't want the liability.

[@TheGowmaster]

BlueWorldTV Oh okay.

[@Yggdrasil42]

BlueWorldTV Yeah many specialties are nonsense. Advanced + Nitrox are useful for every recreational diver and I feel Rescue is also worth recommending to all. For me, it was the most challenging PADI course and one that gave me insight and confidence in how I can and will react to emergencies and stress. It’s not only useful to be able to help others in trouble but also helps you assess dangers and your own safety. Find a good instructor who doesn’t let you off easy and you’ll learn tons. I’m about to go on a sidemount training myself this summer that will also include buoyancy control, propulsion techniques, advanced Nitrox and stage handling. Perhaps next year I’ll follow you into cave training Jonathan. This video definitely peaked my interest.

[@jcee2259]

In my previous Micronesia dive areas you also got certified for open water. By the US Army Corps of Engineers or you were denied arrival by air or sea. My paid job then was being part of that push-back as an armed officer. The worst issues went to a Federal Courthouse on Guam and there is a US Federal Prison on that island for a court ordered instruction..

[@Bananachick]

Why was there a new person telling you what happens in the video? I mean at the begininning. If I recall correctly, the old one was Art Cohen?

[@BlueWorldTV]

+JJ Burg Yes it was Art Cohen and we are still working with Art. He will do the announcing for the TV version but he is pretty busy so we had Editor Tim do this one for fun. I know his voice isn't as good as Art's voice!

[@Bananachick]

BlueWorldTV I can never find Jonathan Bird's Blue World on tv! I check gpb (or pbs) and it almost never airs. You should have a stern talk with them! Yeah but im sure Tim will get better at it.

[@terrismith9662]

I almost feel like I have earned my cave diving certification right along with you Jonathan!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

It was so much fun and pushed me out of my comfort zone to learn something new. It was great!!

[@ricardomontalban6004]

You should probably have at least one lesson first tho

[@Lucilfer47]

The hardest part of he’s training and the hardest part of the video as I’m watching it was the essay exam 😂😂😂

[@jordanezell5132]

If your were diving in a helmet, would a manual hand pump give you the bends?

[@lelamatthews7743]

Hi, I have been really into your episodes lately on my school account. When I am older I want to be a Veterinarian for Sea Mammals and turtles. I was wondering if you knew any good semester programs I can participate in. And keep up the awesome videos.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ProfessorClopOfficial]

CONGRADULATIONS JOHNATHON!!!

[@bombousboy]

Good video. Thanks.

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

They did this without verbal communication which is impressive. It’s like trying to thread a needle by feel... underwater... in the dark... in the waves... while being shot at.... while sharks try and eat you... holding your breath.

[@Miguelskytwins]

Best decision for the channel ever!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yes, it has turned out to be a lot of fun doing all these cave diving episodes!

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

Imagine diving with a friend and they start freaking out and kick up a lot of dirt and silt. So now you both are disoriented, lost, and a couple decisions away from suffocation.

[@swedishvampire279]

kinda miss the old song :/

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Swedish Vampire We thought it was time for a change after 4 seasons of the same song. It's still the same song, with a different style.

[@Shootingstar128]

Agree

[@JonMacSAS]

+Swedish Vampire yeah the old song would always cheer me up, loved it haha

[@deathsythelui]

+BlueWorldTV That original tune really set the tone for your videos, however. It was lighthearted yet heartfelt, peaceful yet playful. This new version is too bombastic, too heavy on the brass (sounds like a lame attempt at covering the Olympics theme). I absolutely understand the need/desire for changing things up after so long... But that theme/opening sequence really anchors all the episodes together. Watching in a playlist with my kids, this would be rather jarring. This is a great episode otherwise.

[@deathsythelui]

+L.D. Johnson Also, the score for the remainder of the episode is fantastic. No complaints there.

[@eldtaylo]

The drills and techniques are similar to wreck diving certification. Similar environments in some respects but each has it's individual dangers as well that you have to be prepared for.

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

I just now realized the air they breath out could get trapped in there. So technically you could force the water out by diving too much... my goodness.

[@raybugtai7384]

Some caves have currents so if you’re blind you could probably be moving backwards or staying in the same place and have no idea. Then if the current is going in the direction of exit if you kick up silt you could be blind the entire way. Cave diving is beautiful but at what risk???

And I actually kinda like the new theme, it makes everything seem more grand and adventurous if that makes any sense.

+Such Wow Gamer At least someone likes it!!!!

How come you did not use your force fins when doing this dive or when you were free diving?

[@BlueWorldTV]

+Jalen Madrid Force Fins are designed to give power on only one stroke, and fold up and allow your leg to rest on the return stroke. For free diving (which involves surface swimming) this method of operation doesn't work well, and the same thing with the "frog" kick we use in cave diving. So Force Fins are excellent general purpose scuba fins (the best made in my opinion) but they are not good for snorkeling, free diving or cave diving.

+Jalen Madrid I will answer this one in a Blue World Academy in better detail!
