Cave diving reminds me a lot of that old aviation saying, "you'd rather be on the ground wishing you where flying than in the air wishing you were on the ground", because you'd sure as hell rather be on the surface wishing you were diving than in a cave wishing you were on the surface.

I do not understand why people get upset about the pauses and long explanations. I personally watch these videos to learn and it actually upsets me that they feel the need to rush. If you aren't watching these to learn from the reactions, why watch them?

Woody rarely asks a technical question he doesn't know the answer to. He is a true teacher at heart.

Cave zone starts at about ~120-130 ft, line starts around there.  Max depth is ~160 with sticking your hand down in muck.  I’ve spent many hours there, a great place…but is hazardous if you ignore your limits and training.

On of my buddies was one of the guys who recovered the body.  I’ve been diving with him at this location so he could practice the recovery documentation process.  These guys take this very seriously.  I’ve seen the report and you guys did a good job.  Thanks!

29:30 To the people who don't watch the channel, Woody seems rude and uncompassionate by being harsh on the people who passed, but don't take it as that, he sounds so critical and angry because of how frustrated he is, such needless and avoidable deaths, it's beyond frustrating

I appreciate the fact you two have the integrity not to "ambulance chase" these tragic cases for views, but instead wait for the authorities to do their job and for some factual information come to light. 👍

I am really impressed with those three boys. They seemed to have taken notice of the divers activities and kept an eye on them, despite this truly not beingvtheir job. And then when shit hit the fan, they acted imediatly and tried their best to ha dle the situation. Good on them!!

I feel for those boys who found them. They must've felt so helpless. I of course feel for the divers and their families too.

I'm glad that they shared the report with you and it really sheds a lot of light on everything that went wrong. Frankly public redacted reports on dive incidents like this could really be valuable to the community. It really highlights the importance of proper planning, these two men didn't have to die they could still be alive today if they didn't make that second dive.

I’m always impressed by the objectivity and general balance this channel pulls off. It doesn’t make things into hysteria, it doesn’t try and make a mountain out of a molehill or provide anything other than measured facts and actual informed commentary/opinions.

This video is already good and I’m only part of the way into it. Thank you!

Kudos to both Gus & Woody for pointing out the fatal flaws in these two divers planning.

As a non-diver, who used to rock climb, I can say with authority that all high risk sports/activities require similar types of pre-planning in order to successfully engage in the sport/activity with the least amount of risk.

The more I watch these videos, the less, less likely I’m willing to go cave diving. If Gus or Woody is not there, I’m not doing it.

I just feel so bad for the kids who called 911.

As an Ex Royal Navy salvage diver planning is king!!! There is no stone that can be left unturned or you will pay the price. Diving has zero forgiveness for ego and complacency! Phenomenal breakdown as always and much love gentlemen.

Those young boys were very on top their stuff. They seem to have a good sense of what to do. Pretty impressive for being so young.

Don't apologize for the long video! You guys do an amazing job breaking down the information. Love watching y'all!

I am not a diver. I do not care to ever dive. But I can understand the enthusiasm and love for a sport. I want to say that this is a fascinating (to me) podcast. Your diligence in providing facts to teach others the proper way to enjoy their sport, in what is most often very humbling and sorrowful incidents, goes way beyond just a reaction video. There are literal and analogical life lessons that you present as they relate to proper training and preparation for diving (this is relatable to anything in life). Thank you, guys! I really appreciate the channel and your ability to translate such a (to me) dangerous sport and present it in a way that is quite fascinating. Because of you, cave diving may not be as dangerous as I once thought. But, your sport demands all your attention. It must be respected. That respect is extended to you, as you teach us all the dangers and wonders of cave diving. Kudos to you. Waiting for the next video.

Man as soon as you said AL53 I knew what the issue was.  Sometimes it’s the older super experienced divers who think they know better.  Very sad.  And Woody doing the dive plan on the fly like that was perfect.

I don’t dive nor do I really want to but I could sit and listen to you guys talk and explain this stuff all day! I’m learning so much! It’s very humbling to think just like that it could be my time. I feel so bad for their families!

Far too many media outlets report on stuff far too quickly with misinformation or incorrect information.

You guys do it the correct way, you have the full report/s or information and your videos are brilliant and informative.
