yeah, like you say, no prob...except a huge bull shark was about to eat him. Soon adventurers will go to the moon and set up travel businesses. Deep sea divers destroying our life giving reefs and mountain climbers defecating, trashing, poisoning the mountain streams eventually flowing to rational civilizations; leaving their dead bodies all over the place...thinning the herd.

No trying to be a smartass. but when the Rescue crew says "he did everything right. he didnt panic" he did everything right, as in he did not panic, but what else is there to do lol. but still big props for not panicking, im sure thats pretty hard to do in that situation.

@@smackinmatt Right? Can you imagine throwing a massive, angry tantrum while drifting in the middle of the ocean?

of course he survived. He was only 30 miles off shore and he had a flotation device. The fact that he thought he was doomed is hilarious. A human can swim about 5 miles an hour. Cut that in 1/2, and that means he only had 1/2 a day of swimming to get back to shore. Unless he was right in the center of a particularly unforgiving major ocean current, he could just calmly swim and make progress even while taking breaks. I would be worried and scared for sure, but in no way would I assume to be doomed.

Happened to me when I was like 8 in 1998 in Aruba on a snorkeling trip with my family and a bunch of others but we weren’t THAT far out thankfully .. I had no floatation devices 🛟 and they came back and got me

That happen more then we think there was a movie on this maybe 15 years ago On a real story and people left message before dying

@@yogibearsmom3881 we are the same year 1990, what an experience you had at 8. How long were you out till they came back??

Happens quite often

Intentional is a word that comes to mind!!

💯 exactly what I thought too

Diminishing your life situations because someone else had it worse is not necessarily a healthy thing to do. Yes, it helps reframe and give perspective, but don't sit there and be like "well his problems are worse than mine" - and I'm not just spouting this. Any therapist would say the same.

@@livemusic200 True. If you can’t feed your kids, telling yourself there are starving kids in Africa isn’t very helpful. If anything, it can cause shame and guilt.

No. I won't be lost at sea. I don't have to seek out danger unnecessarily

I'll stick with getting lost at concerts

WoW that’s crazy! Everyone should have a buddy period!!!

But at least you did it and you can think back and remember what it felt like. I've never done and and never will 😊. Glad you survived!

Better safe and in one piece for yours and your loved ones peace of mind, then experience this hell again...maybe. I think you are wise. Peace & Health, kind stranger!

@@birdy369 wtf dude

@@birdy369 ur weird as fuck. Definitely go see a professional

I spent 21 years in the Navy and a lifetime diving. What he went through is a personal nightmare of mine. I would very tempted to take who was responsible and drop them out in the deep all alone...if they were lucky I wouldn't cut em up a bit before I did.

When was this like recent years?

If the organization is still around might wanna say who. Sounds like they were incompetent in not checking their gear before heading out. Language barrier is not an excuse for totally missing a person or shoving someone underwater.

Thank you for relating your experience, you just may have given others understanding about what can go wrong with a dive.

@@pdub707 Good point! It was arranged by the travel agency (go go tours), but I don't remember what the diving school was called, or if I even saw their name back then

So for how long were you asleep? This is important i need to know how exactly this came to happen. And were people briefed that you would do that?

What time did you wake up? What's the reason for waking up at that specific time? Did you have a restless night or ...

Hahahaha

Lmao. I'm gone. XD Gus and Woody memes inbound.

Let him finish.

damn, even getting lost in the sea for three hours would've given me a mental breakdown.

Wow. Ill only go scuba diving off a safe coast

@@edwardstarling1835 Unfortunately there’s risks off every coast. It’s about making sure you’re with the right reputable charter and properly trained and accredited people.

That is madness, you and your friend had to swim 2 miles to reach the dive boat, then had to go back to find a lost couple. How long had they been left there? Whoever was running that operation should have been arrested.

Thanks for ruining the video for me mate

@@shadowmoon9093 To be expected when you read the comments.

@@shadowmoon9093 there’s an alternate ending where the diver dies. Killed by sharks.

@@rainej7013 So I'm the only one on the planet that reads the comments while I'm watching the video

Actually it was not a boat out to rescue him. They were training to find illegal migrants in the water.

@@MBB9394 was the bull shark also training to find illegal immigrants in the water?

@@dco1019 no it turns out they're already quite good at that

@@ItsMeYourRealDad You only see the end result not the countless hours of work bull sharks put in to get to that level.

Bull sharks are also known to protect ppl by putting them in their mouth while in transport

You also have to think about the next people. If he gets someome else killed it's partly on you.

Just imagine if it was someone who wasn’t as experienced and not super comfortable in the water. Or not a strong swimmer the outcome would have most likely been very tragic. Everyone in America who works on a boat that does anything with the public has to be on a mandatory random drug program and this guy should have been immediately tested for everything soon as he stepped onshore. This is a reason for having the random drug testing by the coast guard to prevent these types of incidents from hopefully never happening the captain of the boat could lose his license for taking paid customers and me “working” without being enrolled. Same with him.

he survived :)

@@judd0112 and alcohol...

@@GinetteMarkle-cl1rcyes!

Sounds like total disregard by the captain for any dive safety. Old Jakey could’ve been eaten by that huge Bull shark that was following him. You should put a warning review for that captain’s business.

SPOILER ALERT!

I use to think that too. And I am not taking away from the hell this dude lived through. It’s amazing. But then I realized I kind of can, because when I think of the dude stuck in an air pocket in an upended tugboat under the ocean for almost 3 days, I have to stop myself. Like, if I try to visualize it I get extreme anxiety. It’s literally the only thing I have to stop myself from thinking about.

@@Namastephie Oof. I hear that. It's hard not to get emotional. Lovely birdy, btw!

Especially in the waters off the coast of Australia, and isn't Dusk when predatory animals hunt? Terrifying

seriously... these people need to be charged for attempted murder.

Always been one of my worst fears😮

That diver is a psychopath. A normal person wouldn’t be calm when confronting the captain again after a situation like that. A normal person would also report it but it’s as if he wants that captain to keep risking peoples life’s. Psychopaths normally don’t warn people of the dangers that are around the corner because they simply don’t care to

@@El_Hexicano ​​⁠I agree. Had that been me that they left out there, once I got back to the captain, I would have scolded him about what he’d done and then gave him a few solid punches in the face.

oh, look guys! the internet armchair psychologist is here to set everything straight😂

@@El_Hexicanoalso I think the word you’re looking for is badass and not psychopath

I've never dived,... I've never even drove a boat... But that captain who left is absolutely 💯%incompetent sorry

Kktktktkk

I agree! So much respect. Woody was definitely pushing him to release the name but it only makes sense. Safety first. Anything to prevent another situation like that from happening again. If they're still doing business, they're putting other lives at risk. Diving is already risky as it is. I'm glad Jakey ended up okay. You can definitely tell he was in shock for awhile after being rescued.

Well except that he isn't because they never gave us the name of the company or operater who did this, even though he wants us to "self regulate"

@@rawbebaba Not easy to reveal name of company or skip, especially in Australia…It can start shitstorm…

It’s not a crazy thing to have integrity in this situation. This captain is risking peoples lives with improper procedures and it’s worth every bit of scrutiny just to avoid the loss of one life. Can I imagine ur child dies bcz of the laziness of this “captain”, I’m gonna find him and get a few charges also. It’s not a game when it comes to peoples life.

With who were you and your group cave diving with in Belize?

@@sammartin4868 We were diving with the resort dive shop where we stayed. Don’t recall the name of the resort. We were staying on a small island off the coast of the mainland. Edit: to clarify, when I say cave diving, I mean we swam through a long tunnel that went under a coral reef. Not really a true cave. It was murky and pretty devoid of sea life, so it wasn’t my favorite dive ever. Took me years to realize I don’t like diving in enclosed spaces like ship wrecks and caves. I like to be able to see the surface. 😂

@@loftus4453 I’m really sorry for what happened to you guys on your dives. I also wanted to thank you so much for your clarifications, since I’m also founder of Belize Cave Diving Society which is the only authority along with the Government over cave diving activities in Belize! Thank you again. 🙏

@@sammartin4868 Thanks for responding. I’m impressed with your work ethic. So nice to know someone is watching out for the recreational divers who visit Belize. Glad my clarification helped.

I don't see how down-talking yourself helps this situation at all. Plus with the recent trend of self-worth (selfishness) this is going in a counterproductive direction. You're supposed to be firm (or whatever).

@@VinnyUnion What are you rambling about? 🤣

@@edithboozy1000 you, complimenting him, at the expense of yourself. Not in a good way, but many ways at that. Four in total. And the ramble part is a sarcastic jab at the current trend to push individuality and generally self worth meanwhile it is more-or-less promoting selfishness at this rate. It's especially comical on how companies do this as well as in "just for you.", "Your voice counts" and "you're more than just a customer" meanwhile all the brands are milking even more cash out of customers than they did many years ago when good products were released and customers were just consumers and that's it. Now it's trash products with promotional slogans. That's it.

@@VinnyUnionaw yeah, you like it firm or whatever huh your comment adds nothing either

These group dive operations should use the systems that are used at skischools - helps them keep track of where the kids are and when they get back to a meeting area - they get scanned and checked in on a list. Should get a little tag that they scan for going in the water then scan upon entry back to the boat.

Damn havent seen that movie in years

The couple weren’t newbie divers either. Scuba diving and snorkeling are huge in the US, and we have strict laws regarding scuba certification and diving safety in general. Any American diver knows that the east coast of Australia is top tier diving, but also dangerous. It’s where all the best divers go.

Horrible

I seen that movie. Something so outrageous you wouldnt think it would happen as much as it does. Smh. Unreal!

Did he crack his 💀 open?

Awe thank you...I can't guarantee I can keep bringing all these amazing people on every video like I did for this one but I'm glad Jakey was part of our KISS Rebreathers family and was willing to come on the show and talk to us about it.

Fantastic. Relieved to see him alive and well and to hear his story.

Its called click bait

Yep. And they even made a movies or 2 based on this unbelievable and terrific events: It's called open water. That must have really been the possible worse way to go. God bless them and may they be happy in heaven forever.

When you’re an instructor for a governing body for a sport, you’re responsible for ensuring everything is above board etc and it’s usually classed as extremely irresponsible to take paid work that isn’t above board- this could backfire on him as he let the dive go ahead with the inexperienced coxswain - it’s a due diligence thing- I don’t dive but I am a sailing instructor so powerboats and people in the water are very much my forte

Ramifications for Jake may be wider... still has connections through the coxswain perhaps

I suspect part of it is that cultural thing of not telling on your mates.

Because he’s a psychopath. A normal person wouldn’t be calm when confronting the captain again after a situation like that. A normal person would also report it but it’s as if he wants that captain to keep risking peoples life’s. Psychopaths normally don’t warn people of danger around the around the corner because there people that simply don’t care to

​@chrisshoustontexas1006 you've left this comment multiple times. Seems almost personal and wildly irresponsible to armchair diagnose someone based on how they reacted after a traumatic event.

So true.

And I didn't even say Bananas once!

I was sure he died based on the title. Amazing bait and switch.

@@skepticmoderate5790 did you watch the video? Lol

They must have been sharks, right? Did you see them or see any fins? Must be a top 10 most terrifying situation for anyone. The lack of visibility combined with the state of complete vulnerability. But even that’s mixed with brief glimpses of the activity breaking the surface of the water which serves as a constant reminder of what’s out there with you. And as if that isn’t enough, getting bumped and having to think about who’s under the surface and how big of creature it is. I absolutely love sharks - and all animals - but it would be scary knowing that you’re being eyeballed for a tasty snack. 😐

@@catsooey4 weeks later and he never responded to you. However, I will respond to you. Depends on what type of sharks you’re talking about. Bull shark, tiger sharks, reef sharks, white tip, black tip and mako sharks eat anything. So it’s best you were surrounded by a hammer head shark or a whale shark. A great white won’t bite you unless you dress all black so you’re screwed. Hoping that you don’t meet any of these type of sharks then you will be fine.

But thank you for your response, I immediately wondered the same thing but then got to read your Input right after, so thank you.

@@TheHailstorm77 Thanks for writing back! 🙂 And it’s ok, sometimes people get busy, or their mailbox gets flooded. I love all sharks and I’d love to see some of them eventually, I just hope I minimize my chances of becoming a snack! I see the Whitetips and Reefs as sea coyotes - scavengers, opportunists, and very aggressive and unpredictable. First on the scene of a maritime disaster or shipwreck. I see Whites and Tigers much like lions or tigers. Much more predictable, deliberate and calculating. I try to tell people we’re not on their menu, but not everyone understands that. They bite us out of confusion/curiosity or in other cases defense of a meal/territory (spear fisherman with food or hanging out near potential prey like seals). Usually it’s an investigatory bite, but unfortunately for us a little “nibble” means serious injury and possibly fatal. I found out from a fairly recent article the other day that in Florida, the total number of shark bites (total - not fatalities alone) since the 1880’s was less than 700 incidents. It may be slightly more since then, but that’s astoundingly small! More people have been killed by toasters in that time than sharks! But the mental imagery of a hidden, unseen danger below the surface in a totally vulnerable state conjures up ancient fears in the subconscious. I’m from Western MA and I grew up going to Cape Cod and the National Seashore. It’s a natural habitat for both seals and White sharks but I never saw any growing up. Luckily they’re both protected now, so over the past 25 years things have started to return to normal. 🙂👍🦈🦭

I completely agree! Love how it's put into layman's terms for us non-divers. With that said... I still don't understand how he ended up just being left. One second he was talking to the 'captain' then the next he got swept up in a current, I think? Then the boat just took off? I'm lost 😔
