Right! I wish I was as sane as Edd. Some ppl just do so well under pressure and never have panic or anxiety moments. I'm a big mess with everything! MRIs, cat scans, small spaces, bugs, animals, d3ath ect... everything effects my brain and its no fun. I wish I was normal

I'm a volunteer firefighter. I know what zero vis means. I know what it means navigating an unknown environment without seeing anything. It's putting a lot of stress on us. But zero visibility while under water in a maze of caves? That's absolutely unimaginable for me to do what he is doing. An absolute singular kind of person!

When Edd mentioned "the 2 guys", I went 😂😂😂 immediately because I remember that story. Also huge respect for (a) Edd's effort to keep the victim's body intact and (b) the "I'll take a hero welcome when I bring out someone alive. This is just a job." comment.

@ReconDiveRecovery Ай бұрын

I dove Wacissa on Day 2 to remove the Victim's remaining gear (fins) & pull the reel. That was a rough one for my friends who did their best. I got Edd's narrative in person around the fire pit one night many weeks later. That recovery was one of the most brutal and tight ones until this. I also dove for Ben McDaniels on night one, and supported Edd's dive for Larry Lee Higginbotham by rushing my Sidemount 95's full of Trimix to the site & dropping them with Stacy. I'm honored to have been taught Full Cave by Edd, and to have helped on a few cave recovery dives. Even more amazed by his Live Cave Rescues. When humans like Edd exist in our lifetime, there's no need for Superhero fantasy films.

I'm a cave diver that lives in the D.R. and am 2 hours from cueva Dudú. Thanks to Edd we can enjoy diving in that cave because of that difficult recovery. Denis was my instructor. Too bad you couldn't enjoy the caves here. Maybe one day you could return here and do some cave diving. Thanks again for your hard work.

Edd, the way you describe your methods and especially creating things out of necessity remind me of my father. He was a mine rescue specialist. He innovated a lot of tools and methods to find problems with the Breathing Apparatus rebreather and fix them under pressure as fast as possible. He won so many safety contest trophies he was legendary among his peers, but i was too young to understand at the time before he passed. Your demeanor and style bring back a lot of memories.

I could listen to Edd tell stories all day long. I was introduced to Edd through Dive Talk (Guss and Woody) and knew absolutely nothing about diving or cave diving before watching their channel. I have never had any interest in going cave diving, ever! It's just not for me but do find it fascinating and love learning all the rules and regulations etc... I have absolutely no idea why I like it so much, but I do. The thought of being underwater away from the surface terrifies me beyond belief but love watching others do it. I've heard this story from Edd before but just had to listen again.

A truly remarkable man. One of the highest complements any person (at least us ex military) can give another is "I'd follow that person into combat" or in this case, follow him into a zero visibility cave. What a remarkable story. And OMG, those last five minutes are so meaningful and powerful, every aspiring diver and a lot of other lives at risk activities ought to take that lesson to heart. Don't let your survivors at your memorial be saying "if it weren't for his arrogance (thinking he knew everything already), perhaps he'd still be here". And these "adventurers" seem to have a blind spot about putting rescue or recovery teams at risk as well.
