I love how passionate Gus is about hating lionfish 😂

"Watch out for the vortexes, they're getting everybody." I love the banter between you guys, and your collective wisdom which puts these 'scary' situations into perspective. Thankyou Gus and Woody.

My wife and I have been enjoying your content for a while now and wanted to say we really appreciate all the effort you have put in to each video - from the clear audio, how well you communicate with each other, the humor, and your personalities. Looking forward to many more interesting and educational videos from you two pros!

I love the Humboldt squid, its basically an underwater xenomorph. Extremely aggressive.

Admittedly, deep water scares me. I've swam in open ocean, snorkled on coral heads, gone diving WWII wrecks in the south pacific, and been in a swarm if blacktips so thick it looked like a wall of sharks all around me. The only time I was ever terrified, was not noticing I had floated off the coralhead, and suddenly looking down to realize I was over a pitch black void. Having that perspective of watching the side of the coral just vanishing, and how far up I was, mixed with dozens of images in my mind of everything that could just appear out of the darkness to drag me down, scared me beyond all reason.

OMG!!! The wild animal I am messing with defended itself!!!! 😵

The video says that Harison Okene "remains haunted by the ordeal to this day", but I read somewhere that he has since become an industrial (or even saturation) diver himself.

I dove in the Georgia aquarium about 10 years ago and the experience was incredible. Everything first class from the pre dive briefing to the equipment we were given, the video recording, the variety of the sea creatures and of course the whale sharks. Just beautiful and absolutely unforgettable. A fantastic program that I hope to enjoy again.

Thank you Gus and Woody for posting this video! I love seeing all the amazing creatures under the sea, and if they are scary that's even better! My favorite is the creepy looking squid with the long tentacles they look so majestic. 🦑🦈🦀💙❤

That squid with the really long tentacles is straight out of science fiction. I’m sure it’d be harmless to humans but terrifying to see in person

My dry suit would become a wet suit real quick if I saw that freaky alien squid thing up close! That thing looks more like an alien than the aliens in scifi movies.

I bet you have seen some beautiful sea glass over the years. I collect sea glass from the shores of Nova Scotia, Canada. Thanks for sharing this, guys. Stay blessed.

13:52 I love those moments where you both have completely opposite opinions about something at the same time. Woody is the type to totally buy into the conspiracy, and Gus will always roll his eyes at this stuff lol.

Magnapinna squid reminds me of the alien from Independence day 1 when its behind the glass trying to kill the president lol

that bigfin squid scares me more than sharks, lightning, and tornado's ... bring on the sharknados !

Gus is always such a skeptic. He always thinks just because he doesn’t do things a certain way that everybody else does things the exact same way he does.

Im not a shark expert. But when they show you their full length, its usually a threat display. Basically its trying to tell you "I am this big, and Id like you to go away". Which I think are most of the "mistaken identity" bites we often hear about. GWs follow people all day every day. By the time its full size, a GW knows exactly what humans are. They know what it looks like, they know what it smells like, they know its electric signature, they know surf boards, swimmers and divers. And if you see it, its because its not trying to eat you. Else you wouldnt see it.

I find them both adorable in the most respectful way! Woody reminds me of my dad! Smiling and having a great time! Gus should narrate everything

Look at ALL of those lion fish!!! The guy is just bagging them like Halloween candy! The whale shark looked like it was playing to me...still, they're really really big.

Watching you both is like watching my brothers, the banter, humor & comments. I'm older, nostalgic af and need to see you both interact, making me laugh & making me a lil more informed with each video. My son is a diver, saturation, whereas other channels disturbed me about diving, but with you both, I feel better & less concerned about diving.

Enjoyed this one guys. Keepem coming! Love y’all’s content and look forward to listening to your episodes while working….I try to watch this important parts lol but I literally listen to y’all every night trying to catch up on all your videos. I’m not a driver and don’t think I ever will but can live vicariously through @divetalk 🤘🏻

This channel has gotten me into something I never knew I would be into. Goal is to take classes and such when I save up enough money. Thanks dudes

I honestly love you guys, me and my girlfriend met online, and ALWAYS have watched you together. we met for the first time and legit watched you together STILL while relaxing after a long day! MUCH love to you both

I think the scariest thing is probably the diver expecting to touch the hand of a dead body and that hand suddenly grabbing back!

Can we all appreciate the ability of Gus to quickly and confidently repeat the scientific name of that flappy boy without hesitation, moments after hearing it. Bravo good Sir, Bravo. Love from Aus 👍👍👍👌🇦🇺

I don't find any other sea creatures scary, but there's something really unsettling about the right angles of those magnapinna squid "elbows."

"Imagine you just sitting there waiting, thinking.. is anyone even gonna come?" "just open up another coke".. that line made it sound like some sorta bizarre last ditch commercial attempt at painting coca cola in a positive light x,)

95% of 'top 10' KZfaq channels are premium cringe at the finest and have NOTHING if value or knowledge to add to a clip

I find the frilled sharks actually weirdly cute! They look like they're perpetually smiling lol

That guy obviously owes that whale shark a large amount of money. That's the only logical conclusion to make here.

I saw the thumbnail and had to click. I'm fascinated by magnapinna squid. Lol. But the video showing an earthquake from underwater was amazing, too.

My favorite lion fish story involves a crazy crew member on the dive boat- My buddy and I come up from a quick reef dive in the Keys (Florida), I had about three bars left and crew guy asked about the lion fish on the reef. He grabs my bcd/regulator and his fishing gear and hopped in. Came back up with three of them.😂😂

The underwater earthquake footage was mad! imagine seeing that! lmao Gus's mike drop XD Boom.

I can't stop laughing. You guys talking about how dumb the lionfish are, and Woody smiling and looking up, acting like a stupid lionfish waiting to be killed.

They said in the video he's haunted to this day but in a video he said himself he's managed to deal with it well and he's even working as a commercial diver now.

The guy sitting at the bottom of the ocean in the air pocket for 3 days........let us NOT forget that the light you see at the 07:04 mark is light that is coming from the lamps of the rescue divers. Before that, this guy had been sitting in TOTAL DARKNESS unable to see ANYTHING for 3 days. I would have slit my wrists with anything I could find in that darkness.

I was kayaking on a river one summer with some friends. We did an overnight trip and on the last 4 miles on the second day, the current just…stopped. I grew up on this river and worked on it and knew the area well. All of us were just sitting, stationary in the middle of the river and the water started doing a similar motion to what was seen in number 9. It stopped after a few minutes and we continued on our way. Once we got of our cars and turned on our phones- we all had dozens of missed calls from our family and friends. There had been a earthquake….and the loss of current and weird water movements made sense. I truly wish that I had my phone on me!

I'm with you guys. If I saw any of those "scary" animals in the video I'd be ecstatic!! Especially the Whale Sharks. Of course, I'm not a diver so that would be highly unlikely outside of a commercial aquarium. I'd love to start diving, but....I've got two kids who want to go to college. Keep up the good work, I love your videos. Have either of you seen a Mola Mola? Those things fascinate me too.

I honestly think those whales were in more danger of a choking hazard than the divers being eaten. I enjoyed the fun banter on this one xD. (On the squid one he wore chainmail for that exact reason)

"a zoo keeper? it just doesn't make any sense" LMAO I love it, Gus!

Beard guy didn't pay attention to the first clip. I wonder how many times he's going to be wrong by the end 😂. The diver wasn't killing lionfish he was collecting them to be sold as pets.

Gus cracks me up every time he references the guy who stabbed him self in the heart 😂

The vortex one -- y'all know that video of the diver making a tiny jellyfish spin in a ring bubble? Sea got revenge for bullying its child!

I've caught a 5 foot long Humboldt squid on rod and reel and it was easily the hardest fish fight I've ever won. When we got it on deck it made it clear that it wanted to kill us all.

anytime the video made a joke gus was just not having it, he was so over the narrator by the end of the first clip XDDD

The Gums shirt no a cartoon child made me wince a little, since I happen to know that there is a 1976 X-rated film about a killer nympho mermaid that is called Gums lol.

No no no Gus! You don’t put the speargun behind your back and say come here cute fishy! You point the speargun at the great white shark and keep the weapon between the two of you. Keep turning so you can keep eye contact! If the white gets too close and bites for whatever reason it has to deal with pointy stick first. Plenty of examples of shark bites or attacks fended off by spearguns, surfboards, cameras, and other items! Stay safe!

I had the amazing opportunity to swim with beluga whales. It might seem scary thinking about it on land - being surrounded by creatures larger than you and the expanse of ocean underneath. But once I was in there, I was so enchanted by the experience that I felt no fear, only magic. I can imagine the creepy appearance of some of these squid, though, especially in the deep darkness and alien environment.

The White Shark and Lionfish video was out of Carrabelle, Fl. a few years ago. That guy is a well known local diver and it was big news around the Florida panhandle because Whites are rarely seen around here.

Everything under the surface is horrifying and you can't get me thinking otherwise 😆

"they only eat shrimp" the next clip forward, a dude named shrimp ends up in a whale's mouth 🤣

Have you two ever made a video where you talk about your own scariest dives that you've experienced?

Swam with Whale Sharks in the Georgia aquarium. They're very inquisitive; constantly investigated us.

8:05 I agree, imagine sitting in the dark in a sunken ship not knowing if you’ll survive or not. Makes me think of Kursk and the haunting diary of one of the crewmen, written in pitch black. He didn’t survive, no one did. Now that’s scary.

Honestly I have had no interest in Diving myself most of my life although I find it incredibly mesmerizing and beautiful, but recently I stumbled upon this channel and its slowly but surely it's convincing me to get over my extreme fear of the deep blue seeing the passion yall have for this incredible sport and hobby is inspiring for sure hearing yalls stories and memories on it makes it sound so amazing. I live in south georgia myself so there are a TONNN of north florida springs all within a couple hours or so from me. Im totally convinced I could handle cave diving away from the ocean but i'd have to work up the courage for doing anything ocean related lol. Just want to thank you for the good you guys can and do provide for people truly never would have thought i'd have an interest in doing myself until watching you two, Much love 💯

"Open up another coke" 😂😂 I live in GA, I'll have to come to the aquarium and shake y'all's hands 🤗

I agree with you about the great whites definitely on my bucket list but now a new one is to play with a whale shark that's amazing 🤩

These divers are showing me what it's like to not have thalassophobia. They can't even comprehend fear of the ocean, or its inhabitants.

Every animal has different personalities. I suspect that whale shark was trying to play or curious, not attacking. He could have let it examine him but he got scared.

I didn't know how comfortable divers were with sharks until I watched this channel. I think it's a fair misunderstanding, even if it's not fair to the sharks.

the same people who think y'all are crazy for wanting to see great whites while diving are the same people who think I'm crazy for wanting to see an alligator while kayaking.

Frilled sharks are my favorite shark 🖤 and greenland sharks 🖤 theyre both so cute 🥰 and goblin shark 😂

I've heard of a group of world wide pros that came up to dive there. I'm told that 4 of them went down only to come up and find something they had never seen in the vastness of the world's oceans. Yet this whatever brought them all up unexpectedly after only 10 minutes. They all got out, took their gear off and left saying the would never be back, and recommended no one else dare go down. They said they would never return. I found an article in the local paper speaking about a locness type creature seen in the lakes.

I dunno about the sharks 😂 bro sounds a little too excited about them swimming up to you

Hold on a sec In the Caribbean we have bull sharks, hammer heads, reef sharks … but pretty sure we do not have great whites because the water is too warm. Seems sus to me

Harrison said he wasn’t worried he just prayed. He said it was only going to be one outcome or another and only god had control. Makes me wish I had more faith bc it really does comfort people.

Too funny- about the lion fish in your face saying come kill me.. lol

Hate people that seek vengeance on animals for simply being animals, you can’t go into their home and grief them as if THEYRE the problem 😂

“Whale shark attacks diver” Reality: silly sea boy tryna eat BUBBLES 😂

I'm so sad they didn't finish to the end of the video, getting their reaction to his genuine reaction to being rescued would've been awesome!

I do enjoy listening to you two. Went to Bali from memory and we divers were offered a vortex to dive. It "would be alright cause we could exit at the bottom, 100 or 200 foot down I think". One thing I did know was that it would never be what they said it was. Nothing is. Even though a bit intrigued, we gave it a miss. Best wishes

Aint no way i got a coke ad just after the story bout the dude that only drank cokes

Gus, Shepard was collecting Lionfish AND spearing fish during the same dive.

Actually I've seen a video of a British guy who was swimming (not diving) in a tidal whirlpool and making video content wearing a horse's head (I know, I know, doesn't sound real) and although the dead footage isn't there, he did die in it that day. His name was Jacob Cockle. It all looked good fun until it wasn't.

This channel is my favorite. You guys rock! Thanks for another great video.

He did try to escape, but the area at that time was not filled with water and he found it was filled so he went back to the area that had some air left and waited for some time before being rescued.

How did people comment 14 hrs ago. This just showed up on my notifications.... I'll never be FIRST....🤣🤣🤣 SUP Gus and Woody... Non diver, but a huge fan, love the humility and appreciation you show others

Queensland has had more than just one or two incidents of people being left behind scuba diving

Can you all talk about your thoughts on snuba? I did snuba in Cozumel and I had a regulator attached through a long hose to a tank floating in a raft on the surface (which was shared with one other person) and we went down to a max 20 ft. I also wore a weight belt. It was an awesome experience and makes me want to get scuba certified, but after watching many of your videos, it seems like there are safety issues with that. I mainly think of a regulator failure, unexpected out of air, or losing the regulator, which could result in someone bolting to the surface from 20 feet. We were taught never to hold our breath, but weren't taught any emergency skills if the regulator is lost (like blowing bubbles on ascent) and they didn't tell us why we shouldn't hold breath, so I didn't understand the risk (even at only 20 ft). Overall, I think the instructors did a good job and probably followed their PADI standards, but it seems like they could have done better at explaining those risks during the orientation briefing.

If I saw a shark of any kind in the water I'd be so fascinated. Especially if a whale shark was wanting to get up close to me. I'd probably talk about nothing else for the rest of my life lol

Everyone has different levels of anxiety. Some people are so resilient, that they survive some unbelievable situations. Yet some, crumble under the least bit or turmoil. So who knows if someone might rather die than sit and wait for death. If I am convinced I am dead, I want it over with. Why sit and suffer? I can see someone doing it

Not me with thalassophobia trying to overcome my fear by listening to y'all's point of view and enjoying hearing people talk about actually going IN THE OCEAN.

6:15 and the way woody looked into the camera 😂😂 caught me off guard

Gus will never stop being upset that the guy stabbed himself in his heart. But Unfortunately everyone isn't in the same mental headspace.

The Icy Finger of Death is fasinating! Ever since I saw that years ago I thought it was crazy!

that jonas/jonah story reminds me of when I told my son Jack about the time I fell off a giant beanstalk

I love Woody! Lol that mic drop meme ha!

Wish they'd mentioned that Harrison Okene is now a diver. That part of the story is great.

That's so wild. He passed away on my nephew's birthday, except my nephew was born 10 years later

HELLO guys!! I just found this channel and I plan on checking some more videos out and then subscribe. My boyfriend who passed away October 6 2019 from cancer, was a driver and I always found it very interesting but I cannot be a driver myself because being in the mask and underwater at the same time is too claustrophobic for me.

How nonchalant they are about a great white swimming at you is crazy,

I clearly surf KZfaq a lot and get onto specific video topics for some time, I am not a driver, I could never dive due to nerves, I don’t even enjoy the ocean really even though I have lived my life along the coast of Australia. I had previously seen all of these video except 2 of the fish species. Only discovered you guys tonight and now I am onto another KZfaq deep dive with you.

These types of "scary creatures/stuff" channels: IT'S ALL SO SCARY!! AVNJ: That's cool Gus and Woody: That's awesome You guys should react to some of the ridiculous "Megaladon" videos and "most dangerous creatures caught on camera" videos. Be prepared to be scared of....basking sharks and lantern fish. The truly most deadly things on earth

Love the combo of you two. Thanks for giving me something to eat to once again. Been working out and I’m bulking; eating more calories than usual

Now you are starting to convince me that you're on Team Ocean Ramsey! I don't care what anybody says, if you're in that water alone and a great white shark comes cruising up to you, you're going to get a hot flush of fear and your fight or flight response is going to kick in. Hard. ♥️

Not quite the same as the guy left behind in the sea, but here in NZ Rob Hewitt(a former Navy diver) was lost at sea for 75 hours, after a rip pulled him away from the boat while diving.

NO NOT THE MAGNAPINNA SQUID! Lol that thing haunts my dreams, and it lives in the gulf 😭😭😭

Aliens

video with the white shark was really in gulf of mexico, they don't come as far south as St. Vincent.

He was catching lion fish to resell them. They're popular pets (captain Picard had one, right?), so you can make a little cash while getting them out of the seas where they don't belong.
