If I’m not mistaken I believe that cave passage Gus was talking about leads to the Nope room in the Nevergonnagothere region of Screwthatastan!!! 😂

Pannikin cave, the name is very fitting. I’m Pannikin just watching!

I’m a plumber who has never dived before and I love watching dive talk! It’s always good vibes on this channel

Woody contemplating the horror of being more than 3 hours away from a Burger King !

"What's this video about?" was my genuin reaction too. That story was great.

I love hearing things like 'gritting teeth against the pressure' just knowing Woody's about to get triggered so hard haha

I'm not going to lie, Gus talking about the hole and them both talking about the rule of 1/3 and fasting was more entertaining than the video they were reacting to! I was disappointed each time they went back to the video! 😂😂

As a skinny guy with an overactive metabolism, I understand why Woody doesn’t think he can go without food for more than a day. We have pretty much no reserves. I’m willing to bet that Woody would get pretty hangry by the end of the first day. I know I would.

The way the original video is written and produced is so grating

those chat gpt narrations are driving me insane lol

When you're 13 and your English teacher tells you the essay would be better if you used more adjectives.

You know it’s gonna be a good day when divetalk uploads!

For reference, this accident was in 1988; most of the footage here is just generic B-roll stuff. No CCRs, no Sidekick, not even any sidemount, no RUVs, and no laptops even would have been used back then. 'Sanctum' (2011) may have been inspired by this incident but it's just a drama based on being trapped in a cave. For example, I don't think any of the guys involved in the real 1988 incident actually murdered each other. Food rationing: yeah you can go a day without food. My military survival training taught the same 30 days for food and 3 days for water, depending on climate and exertion.

guys please watch Null Arbor dreaming, not this AI slop! its a full documentary made using the actual footage they captured during the expedition, disaster and rescue!

31:45 there’s a difference between fasting at home relaxed, safe, and able to sleep….. versus fasting while in a life threatening situation, constantly using energy to keep yourself in a relatively safe position in the cave stuck underground. Although I agree they would probably be fine after a day… but the lack of sugar (low blood sugar) while in a life threatening situation would definitely put you at a higher risk of succumbing than someone who was able to eat to keep their strength up.

A more realistic documentary of the expedition, with only real footage, is called Nullarbor Dreaming. It's on KZfaq.

You guys misunderstood the pressure comment. It was referencing the pressure he felt from squeezing through a tight passage, not the actual water pressure. Seemed pretty obvious to me.

Am i the only person here who will never dive beyond open water scuba and Mexican cenotes who cannot stop watching cave diving videos and squirming in discomfort the whole time?

I love how every time you guys react to a video of a treacherous cave where people died or almost died, the reaction tends to be "I wanna go there".

Gus' "STOP prevent your death" chain >>>>>

I don't even dive but you guys are too cool and funny 😂

Would happily dive in open water. Would never catch me in a cave. Australia is my country and yes everything here is pretty deadly haha. Good to see you gents should come down under definitely

When i was a kid and fun was still allowed a neighbor set up his crawlspace with gym mats to make cave restrictions for halloween, hearing bout the spelunking conferences reminds me a lot of that.

Woody it's not Star Trek it's a clip from the movie "Sanctum". Most of the footage is from that film.❤ Edit: comment made before Gus mentioned it😂

Truamatic experiences like this hit ppl in ways they never dreamed it would. I'm not a diver, but I've come close to death in a couple different situations, and I know from experience that it can make you not be able to put yourself back into risk of being in that same situation again. I had a really scary experience dry caving when I was about 18- and I developed claustrophobia as a result and to this day- many decades later- have never stepped foot into another cave- and never will. If you put me into a spot where I can't turn and see what's around me- I freak out, start feeling like I can't breathe, and then this unbelievable need to get out arises and I will start fighting and panicking. And it wasn't even that bad of an incident to be honest- we ran out of light about a mile underground. Long story short- we bought a bunch of cheapo Walmart flashlights and tried to explore a local cave- none of us being cavers or having any experience with it. And like I said- they all died, one by one- and left us in complete darkness in a place where we had zero hope of ever finding our way out. Luckily, another group came in and we walked out with them, but we had spent about an hour in the dark trying to figure out what to do. About the time we saw someone's light coming, things were starting to get ugly- ppl were starting to panic and blame one another. And this is not a high traffic cave, this is a cave hardly anyone even knows about- so the chances of another group coming in like that were so small it's insane that it happened and saved us. The group said they went to church nearby and had been talking about coming and checking out the cave after services for weeks- but for some reason, that Sunday- they did it. If they hadn't, I wouldn't be typing this- I'd be dead and no one would've even known where to look for us.

Is “hold my reel” the diving equivalent of “hold my beer”? 😂

I also went a couple of days without eating, just fluids, when I fell ill with a lung infection during a trip in Cuba. I was active everyday, even went hiking in Escambray Mountains. As long as you keep yourself active the hunger goes away. It's definitely a weird experience. You eventually have to force yourself to eat once you hit a certain stage. That's the hard part.

Always good to see you guys! "Hey everyone, my name is Gus - Hi! I'm Woody!" :D

Love Spelunking as well! Rule is that if you can fit thru a metal clothes hanger you can go into restricted caves.

Wow Gus first time coming back to the channel after a year or so, you look incredible man. Congratulations on the weight loss, you look so much younger. God bless you.

You need to dive the Shaft with Mike and Edd.

Thank you for explaining equalizing. I have trouble with going down steep hills while driving. I once tried to reach the bottom of a 12' pool and felt like my head was going to explode around 9 or 10'. lol. I never understood how people could go so much deeper and not have it bother them.

the lack of hunger while fasting is due to a bodily process called "autophagy" which literally means the body starts eating itself. Basically you start to metabolize energy stored in glycogen and fat, which is why fasting can be an effective way to lose weight if done correctly.

Sounds like everyone is using chat gpt now for narration.

Thank all the gods that the falling debris didn't snap the guideline or alter it leading into the abyss!

Our desire to explore is universal. I have crawled thru and under and over collapsing timbers, one way in, one way out and sometimes, very little air. Def. scares the hell out of me that it could collapse. I did go back to try again and yep, was collapsed.

Sound like the beginning of a scary movie. I've been having dreams about being trapped again first when I was just 6 years old and now again while 34 waking up gasping for air twisting blankets around me, wondering if I was in another life drowning in a cave...

Haven’t laughed harder than I did at “we had to procure our own breakfast man” 😂😂😂😂

In order to "stay calm" while facing death, you have to have already come to terms with your own mortality, which most people have not. I think people who face danger and do things that entail high risk are more likely to have accepted the fact that they could die doing these things. They want to live, obviously, but when facing a life/death situation and reaching calmness... there is a level of detachment from survival that has been internalized. Overcoming desperation and panic for humans is extremely difficult and requires some intense mental and physical training.

Oddly, missing a splash of Pink

I've watched so many of your videos. So interesting. Thank you; I hope you do them forever! Looking forward to hearing the latest about DAN. Love to both

Woah I haven’t watched one of yall videos in a while and omg Gus looks sooo good !!!

Man this one had me drooling. I’ve played around in a speleobox (artificial wooden cave box) before too and it is incredible fun. It’ll be a long journey before I’m snaking around in underwater caves in Tulum or Cozumel but I savor every moment training for it ❤

Wow Gus looking good I have been away from your channel for a while and what a transformation. Woody you always looked great maybe have a cheeseburger every now and then. Love the show guys you have all but mastered the reaction video. I learn so much from you two. The first thing is I will never be a cave diver so mucho props to you and the entire community!

I watch Don Shipley to, there's a podcast with another SEAL interviewing his son DJ who was on SEAL team 6.

Hi Gus and Woody, last weekend I qualified with British Sub Aqua Club as an Ocean Diver (to 20m in a UK quarry) and am now on my Sport Diver (to 35-40m) training.. 1st June I'll do my first dive in the sea off the coast of Plymouth, UK, to a ship wreck at 20m. The dry suits are a major faff but fine once you get in the water (unless you hire one with a leaky neck collar like I did!). The only reason I even started was because of watching your reaction videos and Cozumel and live videos! You inspired me to try diving because of the way you explain everything so methodically and how chilled out and positive you both are.... so thank you both! Love your videos!!!

A submerged cage that help train diving in a tight space with sides that can open for people who have difficulty is a great idea

with videos like this I feel the gain on your mic's is higher than the gain of the video you're reacting to. every time you guys speak my neighbours can hear :D

Aussie here! ☺️ Not a diver but love your videos, I've learnt so much!

I have never been diving before but I love your videos. You totally answered one of the questions I had about clearing and pressure. Thank you!

I've missed new videos from you guys this is so great if I had the resources I would totally love to take a basic diving class with you guys as my instructors

You guys should definitely go to Australia and meet up with Dr. Harris! The Great Barrier Reef is a must-see for every diver, you can’t even describe it! Not even woodys impressive hat collection!

I love watching you all talk about diving and caves BC there's no way I could after I almost drowned. Gus talking about fitting through holes 😂 and woody willing to do anything but wants us to understand very well!!

algorithm must be working I been binge watching cave explorations all week! Great content!

I'd like to thank you 2 guys for the hours of entertaining and very informative content your channel has given me. I'm not a person that enjoys water activities unless it's in a pool at a five star resort...! Thanks Woody and Gus. Keep them coming

Hey Gus! hope its not mean to say but ive watched you guys since when you first started up! i dont know if youve been trying to lose weight for a while but man, the change from when i first watched you guys to now is incredible you look great!

Holy crap Gus, I must have missed some recent videos. Where is the rest of you? Good for you my man. Looking svelte!

Hope you get to 0.5mn subscribers soon ! You both deserve it.

Very happy to watch this video. You are a great team. I kept thinking the narrator sounded too cheerful for this to be a diving tragedy video. And re fasting, twice a year for Lent is always such a big deal, ha. I feel you, Woody. But Gus, you’re impressive!

I dived Pannakin's a few years ago. Spectacular dive but the dry entry section looks incredibly unstable still, and we take a lot of survival gear just in case the entry collapses.

It's a tough cave to get into, and out of, but amazing to dive. I hope to get back there.

If I went without eating for 27 hours, I would request cheeseburgers over oxygen.

Gus looking really good! Applause. Would be cool to hear from him his journey.

the random rambling about fasting was really cool, i love fasting as well. my longest has been 3 days but i couldve continued for sure, its definitely possible to not eat for that long!

omg the fasting tangent was hilarious

I believe he was talking about the pressure of the walls as he squeezed thru the restriction.

Coming after a year to see how you guys going. I was here when you guys had 20k followers. Great channel.

Thank you for talking about equalizing and the pressure differences lol, before you did that I wanted to ask about it so bad😅

damn, gus lookin shredded! keep up the work man, it's showing!

I like ur guys vids. I wanted to be an underwater welder when I was a kid in middle school and still now over 20 yrs later would love to get into diving and your vids always inspire me. Sometimes though I miss out on alot of important information that woody is explaining cause gus can like to cut him off sometimes lol

Scorpions sting you! Lol.... Scorpion bite! Lmfao

The eating thing also depends on your level of activity. When I was younger, I got a really bad infection in my mouth and refused to eat for about 5 days because it was just uncomfortable to. I slept through most of it, and woke up on the 6th day feeling fine. My mother ended up getting me to sip on a fruit smoothie after begging me for about 2 hours. Best smoothie I've ever had to this day 😂

Roughing it in a 3 star hotel 😂😂😂 Taking my daughters to Cozumel at the end of July for their 2nd dive trip. Asked them if they wanted to do 3 days of diving or 2 with zero hesitation they both replied 3 I love it

Thanks guys

Ah? First, fantastic channel. I am living cave diving through you two with the science explained, just well done. Ok, how many tanks can a diver take? Is it limited by human physiology? And why don’t exploring divers stage tanks as they go, just in case if not them then another could use? Does the “tri-mix” have an expiration date? I could look it up but hearing you two answer would be greater.

I’m excited to hear about what DAN had to say. I’m glad they actually talked to you guys but also skeptical that maybe they’re giving you guys special treatment.

Damn haven't seen one of yall videos in a minute! Miss these!!

Woody you can easily go a day without eating. Once you get past a certain point you no longer feel hungry and you actually feel really good. I can feel my brain working better and I hate to mess it up by eating b/c I'll crash after. Its almost a euphoric feeling. At least for me.

"If you and your buddy are penetrating, and you are 1/3rd in, and worst case scenario you still have 1/4th left to go and your equipment fails"

Original video: "This video is no longer available because the KZfaq account associated with this video has been terminated."

Hello from Idaho! Love your channel! ❤ I've been watching for awhile 😊 Wish I was brave enough to go diving but I've convinced myself I would panic. I'll just leave the diving to people like you guys! 😁

No its only dangerous here in Australia if you do something stupid if it looks like its going to bite you don't poke it

Good morning Amigos!

What a situation to be in, also with pressure I agree with you all, I use to dive years ago and it doesn’t bother me and I felt nothing either

I'm Australian and in my home state every snake is venomous

I'm so late watching this one. Just watched...Thank you Gus and Woody 🥰

😂 " I'm to old to rough it like that anymore " I totally felt that Woody 😅 at 60 yrs old I find myself trying to make everything a little more comfortable 😂

I will probably never have the oppurtunity to scuba dive but i enjoy hearing yalls stories. Id be scared to death to disconnect a tank from my body.

I love your imput im not a diver too scared but watch your videos from afar thanks for the good content

You know, I didn't realize that everybody wasn't taught to equalize their ears while swimming, The place I went to for swimming lessons as a kid had a 12 ft deep area of the pool and so we were all taught how to do it. Incidentally, The guy who taught me to swim as a child was also a diving instructor.

"The stench of limestone." I was unaware that limestone could have a stench.

something I've been wondering while binging your episodes, and just truly curious, haven't dived yet, but really fascinated by the whole science of it.. but the question that I have been wondering, when you are in the ocean.. compared to being in a fresh water cave, due to the volume of water in the ocean is the pressure change more than if you are in cave? if the cave water isn't coming or going directly to the ocean? just something i have been wondering this whole time any info is appreciated :)

Ok, I beg another question. I’ll probably ask many but next one. Why don’t cave drivers carry some kind of strobe light? In cases of lost divers or body recovery would it make locating the missing easier?

Woods extra spicy this week hahaha hilarious

Spending their time correcting chat gbt I love it lol

Gus looks like he could throw me like a javelin here

Bit of animosity there guys😂😂

As always, love your content. I've never been diving, but I enjoy learning about it from your talks. That said, I have a bit of an odd request: There's a new entry in a popular game series coming out in a few days that's all about diving. The game is called "Endless Ocean: Luminous." A lot of people are pretty excited about this release, and I personally would *love* to hear you guys react to it in any way. If you could do a fun livestream or video of the two of you playing (it has multiplayer), that would be insanely awesome, but even a reaction to one of the trailers or to someone else playing the game would be fun. I'd love to hear any insights you might have about the diving aspect of "Endless Ocean: Luminous," how realistic the gameplay feels, etc. It might bring in new viewers, too, since the game has a decent amount of hype built up around it, and some players might decide they're interested in diving in general as a result of playing the game. There are people who have gone into marine biology based on an interest sparked by playing previous entries in this series growing up, so I'm sure there are some divers who've emerged as a result as well. Just a thought. Regardless, love your videos and am looking forward to whatever you do next. Keep up the great work!

imagine if in the future they had diving equipment that could take oxygen from the surrounding water, like gills on a fish, so you never need tanks anymore? the only thing stopping you from being able to dive for as long as you like might be based on how oxygenated the water is, or if whatever makes the oxygen available to you runs out like a chemical or something

Cannot believe you mentioned Don I've been watching him a long time xD
