Way to go guys for finally facing your fears and talking about these topics. Proud of you, buds!

When Woody did the "shhhhh, don't say that word" I almost spit out my coffee. You guys are the best! Thanks

The more dangerous something is, the more the dive community talks about those things. You guys did a great job of explaining each topic and refuting the claim that we don't talk about those things.

Woody: but we can talk to fishes Gus: sh thats enough! It killed me 😂

Alternative top 10 Deeper Sea divers absolutely refuse to talk about 10. Diving the bottom of the mariana trench. There's just way too many spooky things down there 9. Off-Planet diving. They refuse to talk about diving on Mars because theres way to many spooky aliens up there 8. Skydiving directly into scuba diving 7. Close encounters with aquatic leviathans. Probably because the ones who could, haven't been heard back and cant be found 6. Cthulhu. Divers are very tight lipped on their octopus face diety. Going as far as *claiming* Cthulhu doesn't actually exist 5. Their insatiable thirst for penetrating all of Mother Natures holes 4. How rich they are in scuba gear, and if they're buying the case of shrimp flavored Ramen or the Chicken flavored thos month 3. PADI has turned every nuanced skill into a 2 hour $300 course. 2. Freediving 1. Rather obscure dive accident that happened atleast 9 years ago.

One thing deep divers never talk about is how you should never ever go deep diving, it’s far too scary! Thanks guys!

It’s so nice to have experienced divers clear up all the misinformation that’s out there about diving for people like me that are interested. Keep it up guys👍🏼

That thing you experienced with being unable to breathe after accidentally inhaling a droplet was likely a "laryngospasm", which is a natural but uncontrollable contraction of the vocal folds that can happen if the vocal chords or some other area of the trachea senses something solid landing on it. It usually only lasts a few moments or up to a minute, and is essentially meant as a life-saving reflex meant to prevent anything else getting down into the lungs. My dad (a doctor) once got it from inhaling a tiny crumb of a sandwich while on an airplane, and recognizing and realizing what just happened, simply sat there appearing calm while waiting until the muscles around his vocal chords stopped contracting and he could breathe again, lol.

I'm not a diver myself and have only seen a few of your videos, but I appreciate that you both had a sense of humor in clearing things up AND that you gave credit to the source video when information was shared effectively. Made the whole video educational while being friendly and chill. Really enjoyed watching!

As a lifeguard and PSD. Salt water aspiration is real. It's simply the inhailing of salt water "Drowning". With salt water if you inhale a small amount and get it in your lungs you can drydrown hours later and die, usually while sleeping. This happens because your body is trying to process the salt water in your lungs. It does this by adding more fluid to your lungs in an attempt to dilute it, then you drownd. This condition usually occurs when a surviver is pulled from the surf then refuses advised medical treatment.

My first dive was consisted of a 5 min. tutorial in a jeep on the way to a vacation beach dive in US Virgin Is. in rough surf. Very little was discussed. I panicked-horrible experience. 5 years later I got certified in a pool with one instructor for 2 weeks before going out into open water. Perfect experience. Nothing off limits to talk about. Thanks for this reaction video.

Blimey, this woman did an awesome job putting folk off diving! Good job you two are there to encourage diving, as long as folk follow the rules/safety guidelines. Even I have changed my perspective after watching your vids & am getting more knowledgeable on the subject. Glad you continue to explain the terminology etc, to the uninitiated, so we can watch with greater understanding.

Good job going through the silly top 10. Trainining her to dive and coming full circle would be entertaining. I like how Gus pulled it together at the end with his analogy on land speed records.

I thought this was going to be about farting in your dry suit. All diving is inherently dangerous. It couldn't be otherwise if you're going into a hostile environment where you can't live for more than a few minutes without specialised equipment. But the way we have dealt with that since the activity began is continually talking about things to gain and share knowledge, especially of where things went wrong. Current training, techniques and procedures are based on decades of this interchange. Divers refusing to shut up is probably the bigger issue.

Learning to dive is literally the best thing I have EVER done for myself. And this is coming from someone who was never particularly comfortable in deep water before as I was scared of sharks and rips taking me out to sea. So I seriously hope her researching and talking about these things doesn’t stop her from diving and doesn’t stop her subscribers from trying. It’s literally the only thing I think about now and the whole reason I work. No one who knows me before would’ve ever thought I would get into and be obsessed with diving. I’ve convinced so many people around me to start looking into courses now haha.

Martin is not paralyzed, and he does in fact dive. He was actually critical in the success of the rescue of the soccer team and their coach over seas.

Pretty sure Woody is our Spirit Animal and Gus our balance and consciousness 🤣🥰

Woodys enthusiasm makes my whole day 🤣

Smelling your oxygen while your getting geared up is a great tip. Never heard that one before from my dive instructors. Definitely gonna try to remember that one for my next dive, seems like a good safety step to incorporate.

As someone who has never dived I will tell you that that video is essentially the top 10 things usnon divers fear most when we think about diving. It is a little comforting to know that most of that is ignorance.

Woody and Gus I want you guys to know that you two have brought the most awareness to diving then anyone I’ve ever seen, your personalities and dedication to education on diving has inspired my wife and I to get training and start diving!

Where she did explain some things well, I'll never understand why channels like this (TopTens, not Dive Talk) rarely do their due diligence. When preparing videos for my own channel, I try to be as accurate as possible. Even in areas in which I have much training, I want to avoid giving false information. Additionally, I did find it funny how most, if not all, of these topics are actually discussed by divers. Just another channel that doesn't do their homework. Another great video, Gus and Woody!

Lol. So, I'm kinda listening while plying a game, and when Woody comes out with the talking to the fish, Gus' comment made me laugh so abruptly, I scared my cane corsoout of sleep onto his feet. You guys are great education AS WELL AS entertaining. Newly subbed from 🇨🇦✌💜👍😁

I'm amazed on how you both able to handle to keep it cool for the whole video. I can't.

Even us non-divers out here heard about the the bends long before even watching Dive Talk, so I think it’s one of the most talked about things in diving because it’s important. I laughed at that part with y’all. 😂 I’ve known about that since I was like 8. I think there was an episode of the Wild Thornberrys where Eliza was too young to dive but wanted to save a whale or something and she ascended too fast and it affected her negatively. Maybe I’m wrong. Lol but between that and watching tons of animal planet as a kid. I think a lot of us know the bends is. 😂😂😂 Buttttttttt I didn’t know why the bends is called the bends and now I know thanks to y’all. Lol

Woody is absolutely right, anyone can talk to fish. When he start's thinking they are talking back to him, it may be time to seek professional help. ;)

At first it was hard to start watching your videos, due to their long times. However I grew to really enjoy your reactions and I feel like I can learn something in each video. You seem like great guys and I would love to dive with you. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 😁😁 P.S. Took me a while but I am now a proud subscriber waiting for more content.

If you guys had been my instructor 30 years ago I would never have quit my lessons and I would be a diver today. You have excellent videos and the perfect personalities to be instructors. Keep doing what you're doing

Woody and Gus, you two could talk about ANYTHING and I would listen. You two are amazing and hilarious. Love you both! ❤️

Hey guys found your channel a few days back. Never really new too much about diving since I'm only 18, now I love how you guys educate the audiences about what you shouldn't do and explaining the 5 rules thoroughly I know I'll be prepared to go in the future, and have lots of fun appreciate the awesome content keep it coming. Ps.... I live in Missouri now but was born in Georgia♥️♥️🎗

I love you include the fact that Orca HAVE NEVER ATTACKED a human being, unless they were in captivity.. speaks VOLUMES

that video is pure fearmongering what divers don’t talk about is the cost of each dive 💀💀💀

Watching this channel and some lifeguard ones, I learned about dry drowning. Especially with salt water. The body wants to dilute the salinated water in your lungs, so it will take water from other parts of your body and move it to the lungs, and this is how it drowns you. so cool. ty for posting.

So, what have we learned today, kids? 1. Sea snakes, although venemous, are quite passive. If you come into contact with one, don't swim away in fear but maybe dont squeeze the life outta them like Angelica from the Rugrats. 2. Yuri Lipski video is one of Dive Talk's most popular videos. However, it's not a good general practice to talk about the dead while doing a dangerous hobby. I get it. 3. Woody believes in octopus aliens, blowing up jetskis and pink beanie superpowers but he draws the line at saltwater aspiration. Woody has standards and I love it. 4. First rule about dive class, we dont talk about "the bends". Yet Gus and Woody talk about it ad nauseum in their dive class and the videos, myth busted! Jokes aside, I'm actually quite familiar with "Most Amazing Top 10" and while I can confirm that Lindsay Ivan is a strong swimmer, she's not a diver. As the channel has grown exponentially, their videos tend to be more sensationalised to please growing demand. I would hope that fans watching would see it as more of fodder for the masses and not necessarily to be taken as canon that's 100% accurate. But with humans you just never know. Great video guys! I really enjoyed this one. And if someone ripped my mask off, I'd stab myself in the heart... because they called it "goggles". Have a great week Gus and Woody:-)

Talking about the sea snakes being so deadly poisonous but not bitting, makes me think about how even though to me it's such a common knowledge thing that those granddaddy long legs spiders we use to let crawl on us and yes some would yank off their spindly legs actually have some of the most toxic and deadly venom of all venomous creatures but the fangs are so tiny they can barely make through even a humans first layer of skin, yet I still run into people who say "FOR REAL???". I will myself admit that I've heard how poisonous some sea snakes are but did not know they were so passive

My son is a royal navy diver, his buddy got bit by a sea snake in Bahrain and it punctured his wet suit... He was helicoptered out...luckily it didn't inject so...

lol IMAGINE you go to take a shower and the water is just warm. (Top 10 things that work from homeworkers refuse to discuss)

I feel like Woody would make a great grandpa😂 He's so adorable and kind. I saw the one video where he was baby talking to fishies lol but then he killed a lion fish because they're invasive. And then he talked to more fishies. 🥰

Hey Gus and Woody I wanted to congratulate you guys on your growth. I have been subbed since 5k, you guys are amazing and give diving a breath of fresh air.

Hey guys, found your videos a few days ago and have been really enjoying them! I grew up in Montana and have always dreamed of being near the ocean and my wife and I recently decided to move to the pacific coast! I’m very excited to start diving and learn everything I can. Thanks a bunch for the content!

I think we discovered your next video... Gus & Woody dive with Great Whites 🤣🤣🤣🦈

These top 10 list channels are pure click bait. They often spread the worst kind of misinformation because the creators are just googling for something interesting and slapping a list together. I just don't take them seriously.

"Ssssshhhhh.......never say that word again" 🤫🤫🤫😂😂😂 Woody you crack me up!

“During the Brooklyn bridge project where caisson’s for the footings were used, decompression sickness became known as "The Grecian Bends" or simply "the bends" because affected individuals characteristically bent forward at the hips: this is possibly reminiscent of a then popular women's fashion and dance maneuver known as the Grecian Bend.” - wiki

4 weeks ago, I had 3 transient Orca swim by me while I was on the surface. They were less than 50yds away. No amount of me splashing on the surface; and yes I was splashing ljke crazy; would make the Orca change their course. A dive instructor I know, last week, had 4 Orca swim by, 20' away, while seals were in the area. She said the Orca paid no attention to her at all. That kind of encounter is on my bucket list.

just found out one of my really good buddies i was in the army with has gotten himself into commercial/saturation diving and it was super cool to talk to him about it and kinda understand what he was doing, thanks to you guys! also, hillariously, i think i saw this youtube channel one time called "DIVE TALK" one time where 2 divers talked about literally everything on this list!

Hey guys, just wanted to say that I am not even a diver but I find your commentary and story telling really entertaining. Keep up the great work.

“The first rule of scuba/cave diving safety is: you do not talk about scuba/cave diving safety. The second rule is: you DO NOT talk about scuba/cave diving safety!”

OK, so I don't dive but I hike a lot, I'm also very OCD which I think would kill me on a dive. My hiking pack weighs about 30 lbs, I'm 180lb woman. Doesn't matter if I'm hiking a mile or 15 miles, that pack goes with me and is packed w way more than I'd ever really need...just in case. Including 4 flashlights, If I dived I'd have to take 10 of everything! 😋

I am glad Woody is there to keep Gus from going HAM. Gus can be haughty and almost petulant at times. I remember noticing this especially in the beginning when they would react by themselves. I can get that way at times as well, but this is why Woody and Gus compliment each other so well...

RE: her bends comment; there was an episode of GI Joe in the 80s/90s(?) that literally ends with two characters being put in decompression chambers due to fear over the bends. So literally millions of kids saw/heard their favorite cartoon characters talk about it. (Have you guys analyzed that yet?)

The goggles? I nearly died 🤣🤣🤣

Coffee & Dive Talk is how to start a week! Cheers men!

Thing with venomous creatures is it takes a lot of energy to use that venom which is why most of the dangerous venomous species tend to use it as a last resort and avoid humans or threats instead of seeking them out. We just aren't worth it lol.

The bubbles forming in your SPINE and EXPLODING omfgg worst fear ever unlocked 🔓

Martin Robson isn’t paralyzed, I could be wrong but I thought he had a successful recompression. I need to look this up. Martin Robson, a former Royal Marine Commando, began diving with the military in his late teens. He is now one of the best qualified Tec Diving Instructor Trainers in the world, teaching courses with PADI, IANTD and both of the major Cave Diver training agencies, NACD and NSS-CDS. As well as cave diver and rebreather training, Martin is a consultant for the new PADI Rebreather and Sidemount courses and is currently conducting Instructor and Instructor Trainer courses to launch these new PADI rebreather programmes. He is also a co-author of the PADI Rebreather and Tec CCR manuals. He’s still teaching and training according to this.

I love you guys! I've never been diving in my life but you guys are just so fun to watch... to put it in diving terms, if you guys were a gas mix for a dive, it would be 40% entertainment, 40% education, and 20% gus and woody just being gus and woody!.

Would love to see you guys do a video on "Diving Into the Unknown" documentary about the Plura cave disaster.

So, upon a quick search, you find out that the narrator was wrong about Martin Robson. Yes, he did get the Bends, yes, he was paralyzed (temporarily). He was placed in a recompression chamber in Sochi, and made a full recovery, walking out on his own. He owns a dive school in the UK, and still teaches classes today.

I think you both should review the story of the man from New England that was swallowed. By a whale and spit out and survived! It is an amazing story and the guy is so funny!

I've been diving for over 15 yrs, Sidemount, doubles and rebreather, I've never seen or even heard of saltwater aspiration? 😁

“Hey instructor, what’s the bends?”“Shhhhh…never say that word again” 🤣🤣

The eye rolling and frustration in their faces in the first 1 minute and 30 seconds had me dying 😂

I knew the bends was a secret conspiracy! I heard only the most elite divers know about it 🤣

Top ten things that divers refuse to talk about yet these divers talk about it. Highly suspect.

I love that you guys reacted to no research top ten video with actual knowledge!

I’m not a diver but you guys are one of my favorite channels up there with mr ballen, really enjoy the content guys! Coolest divers out. And woody you rock the pink too well makes me want to rock it too !

The a recreational diver I love talking about sea snakes. Cause I know they are super docile and passive. I also like talking about GWS's. I would love to see one. Ok last edit, we talk about these things for education. If we made a mistake and what not to do etc. Not because of some great taboo or curse or stuff. It's just so we don't end up on one of these lists. Oh and you can talk to fish, Gus.

That was fun, within the first 30 seconds they wanted to tear their hair out😆

26:42 I recently lost a friend who died during a skydive. She had deployed her parachute normally, had released her steering lines normally, and then stopped steering her canopy before landing in a field without any further control. Turns out she had had a cerebral hemorrhagic event. The first responders believed that she had died before reaching the ground. It should not be considered a skydiving fatality, but it probably was. Also our sport has been described as a dangerous activity that can be done safely. I would say the same thing about cave diving. Love your channel . Keep it up!

21:57 I remember my instructor told us that what you eat before the dive can affect your behavior. For instance on of her divers had a redbull before the dive, and at 27m (90ish feet) he tried to give a fish his 2nd stage Reg to give the fish air.

It's painful how badly these people research the subject before filming and posting a video...

Thanks guys!! Woody didn't mention that you can talk to the octopus 🐙 too! Being intelligent alien creatures, they understand :)

I’m a new comer to this channel and am the farthest thing from a diver, but this insight is so interesting to listen to! I appreciate your videos very much!

The weirdest thing about the Great White story is that the diver somehow thought swimming around just out of reach of a Great White was any safer. Great Whites can swim up to 35 MPH, if it wants you there's no way you're going to outswim it.

Yuri is no 1??? I liked your gold finding video best :D As a former DM in Western Australia, we had a very curious sea snake that use to look out for us and swim with us - the ultimate in underwater grace. On a drift dive I also once saw a massive shark - too quick past to see the species, but unusual to see a shark resting on the bottom of the ocean, facing into a current strong enough to put a good passage of water over its gills. We once had a big dead tiger shark die in our dive site and one DM/instructor who found it, strategically placed it to give the next group of us the fright of our lives finding it just lying there (very much alive we obviously though at first). Diving isn't the place for pranks, but the lead DM was me (by design I suspect as was still DM in training) and they know I am unshakable, and can take a joke lol.

I absolutely love your commentary! I love the water but never considered diving as it super scared me. You guys have made me consider actually learning to dive. Another great video!

I might be off on my numbers a little bit but when I started watching I think you guys were at about 20-26k and now to see you after a couple months at 70k is amazing keep you the great work guys. I’ve missed seeing your content hopeful the algorithm has it pop up more. You guys deserve it :)

Thanks guys, I have been binge watching lately. Thank you Woody for sharing the chocking on bailing out. I teach to pudge the regulator before putting it in your mouth to avoid water being fired at the back of the throat. Great content 👌

Video: "No one ever talks about these thing" Dive Talk: guess we're no one" Like seriously half these things are yall've done deep dives on. Idea for video: underwater wildlife encounters!

Absolutely loved the video, just if I could add one thing it would be that at the end she mentioned that the man was paralyzed from the waste down and didn’t scuba dive anymore. I just wanted to say that as someone who can’t use their legs, I was still able to gain my scuba license and I absolutely love diving. So for anyone else that may have a physical disability it is possible for you to dive. Sure we may have to adapt but who doesn’t.

I love you guys! Woody, some of your expressions when you’re goofing around are hysterical!

15:02 😆😂🤣 WOODY’S FACE KILLED ME!! 🤫 **Whispering** “Never say that word again”

Sea snakes and sea kraits aren't the same, but both are non-aggressive and don't want to be around you. So if you let them be, they will let you be. Don't go on the myth that the can't bite you because of their small teeth, I've seen one catch and swallow a huge morray. Still, they are very docile and very beautiful to watch.

I remember when I was a kid growing up on Guam, I met a freediver. I looked into the water he dove in and saw nothing but sharks, barracudas, and stingrays. I asked him how do you survive those predators? He told me, "never overstay your visit and respect the hosts. You are a guest in their house." Never forgot that

I've always been fascinated by sharks. I've heard there's a specific Great White known as Deep Blue that is famous for being really big, but pretty peaceful towards scuba divers.

It's funny how they start with nitrogen narcosis in the introduction, which you guys talk about like in EVERY video. Good start 😂

About the sea snakes, there are dozens of different species. Most are quite passive, some are quite aggressive, and several have fangs plenty long enough to puncture well through a suit into your skin. Don’t just treat every one as harmless because the few you’ve interacted with were docile. Especially in the Indian ocean and western Australia.

"Kill three people with one bite"

Sea snakes are amazing :) I’m glad you took the time to clear up those misconceptions about them.

I don’t dive. Like at all. But I have family members who partake and I find this content super freaking interesting. I’m addicted to this channel now. 🖤🖤

She did bring up things to be concerned about, but IMO she blew them out of proportion. 2 times I have had the crackles ( form of the bends( minor)), had water in my lungs. But if you are trained well and don't push your luck diving is a safe sport.

The spine exploding from DCS had me rolling. Where do you hear this and how do you put a list like this together without basic research? Click bait.

They made the original video private so thanks for still having it lmaoo

Watched a documentary the other day called my octopus teacher was incredible would love to see you guys react to that 👍

These top ten are terrible 😂😂. I could not stop laughing when she said goggles lol 😂 in the diving community they are called masks! Flood and clearing is a skill that we are taught in our open water course. We should be able to handle clearing our mask when flooded with water. Also it’s important to always carry an extra pair when diving, just in case you lose them.

Hi Gus & Woddy, I have a question? (Love your show by the way) I am not a diver but wondered what happens if one was to cough or vomit whilst deep under water on open circuit or a re-breather what would be the procedure? Thank you x from Davide Monte London. 🙂 ❤

i couldnt stop warching gus and woody while the girl was naming things they REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was laughing 90% of this video. my girlfriend is sleeping next to me kept waking and giving me that look while i was dying laughing. guys i love your channel!!!!!

Martin Robson is an Ex Royal Navy Marine and IANTD RB Cave Instructor Trainer. He owned 'Eau Zone' in the UK and has since co-published a book on the fateful Russian Blue Lake dive mentioned in the video.

FIRST OF ALL - I love Gus & Woody !!!
