my father blew his last bubbles on the Spiegel Grove. glorious dive, just stay OUT unless you know what you are doing and are prepared for such, even then things can go wrong, trust me..
Sorry for your loss truly I won't pretend my words help with grief anyone who has felt loss knows, but this has helped me cope I will always carry happy memories of the lost close to my heart they're always with me, and I always take the opportunity to improve on safety measures whenever there's room for improvement.
I always wondered how turtles ended up with barnacles and other stuff growing on their back, it never occurred to me that they were sleeping underwater for 7 hour stretches, I always learn something new when I watch you guys!!
Love how you explain everything so clearly to us landlubbers, Gus. I'm sure 1 reason why your channel has grown is cos you appeal to the non-diving community, though I read that many have been inspired to take up scuba/cave diving/get certified. That must make you so proud. Anyways, loved these vids of you guys having fun & seeing slumbering turtles. Wow. Didn't get introduced to the alien though!
I don’t dive but I subscribed because you and woody have wholesome honest vibes.. very honest and down to earth .. I also love learning about all the knowledge of diving you both hold.. very interesting…keep it up .. I see your channel blowing up in no time
Awesome and fun video. Excellent and simple readout on control. Stay safe and maintain equipment properly. I was trained on the PRISM semi closed rebreather by the creator from England. Always been infactuated with rebreathers since a teen. When I first became certified on scuba. Peace
TURTLES!!!!(are my favorite things)!!!!!! This was a beautiful video Gus! Thank you for stopping it on your computer screen too, I always wonder what the numbers meant, and now I actually have an idea of how it works. I love the underwater sounds too.
Had no idea about the effect rebreathers have on buoyancy, super cool. Woody looked very zen hovering right on by. I have a whole week of dives coming up, my first non-OW course rec dives and first ocean dives. Thanks for the breakdown, idk about others but this is valuable to me to see things like finning techniques, seeing what currents look like. Things you probably rarely actively think about but occupy a lot of my mind!
Helen here.... I enjoyed this very much and think it will make a super Thursday treat! I can't believe that over a thousand views and only 100 odd likes - people don't know quality when it hits em in the face....
Agreed. To much of the omg we found a random ass thing in this river omg omg we're so awesome blah blah it truly makes my brain hurt but, these dudes are absolutely amazing, to hear gus giving himself constructive criticism on how he could improve his setup that right there is a hallmark of a quality teach imo, I can't say enough good about them for real highly recommended for anyone who has genuine interest in diving.
This looks incredibly fun, especially the hunting of lionfish. Thank you for talking about the computer and a little bit about the decompression process, that was interesting.
So glad that helped. We are also releasing a video in a couple of weeks that discusses more basic dive principles to help our non diving viewers understand our lingo in the videos better.
"Scary holes" "Scary holes..." Not gonna do it.... Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture... 😎 Great video guys. You are doing a damn fine job selling rebreathers... Thanks again for sharing. 🤙 Dive safe
Lol gus i legit heard woody say clear as day (awe its tiny) that is hilarious how ever I will say most can find and hit the bigger one, it takes skill to find and hit a smaller target lol any way this video was awesome I will say it like this. This is a smaller dive channel yet imo one of the best out there, only one I keep coming back to and always leaving with either a smile, some good points and tips or both from people I can actually take seriously, absolutely no shade on anyone or specific channels, but I've seen some hilarious bad videos I've never felt like that in this community and I appreciate it. Always looking forward to this channels uploads. Please keep up the awesome work guys it's not un noticed.
I use to be not sure about the ocean and all that but after watching almost all the videos you guys have ( which are awesome ) I want to move to Florida and come learn how to dive . And I live in Ohio where you hear sharks are scary blah blah and such but yeah they are but they really don’t seem to wanna mess with you . And the ocean is just so beautiful it’s like a whole different world !
Dang, Gus, you are so great at explaining everything, thank you! And I totally felt that head hit. Oof! 😖 Thank you, as always, for giving us this experience. I particularly love the “frying eggs” description and sounds of the ocean. 💚🙏
Neat! I've never been scuba diving, would love to though. Definitely learning a lot from these videos. And I love sea turtles! Was lucky enough to swim with a few while snorkeling in Aruba. Love your content!
Love the videos started watching a while back absolutely love how y’all go in detail to explain and run me threw it personally and it’s absolutely beautiful shots it’s all new to me and absolutely beautiful
This is probably the 10th video in your channel that I've watched and will continue to binge the rest of them. Definitely subscribed and will recommend to friends as well. Keep it up!
Oh guys you're making me 200x more excited to start diving classes! It's an expensive activity in Brazil so I'm gonna have to wait a while, but your videos are making me dive from home ❤️ someday I'll invite you to come dive with brazilians!
This is more of a request, if at all possible, at some point can you do an episode about KISS rebreathers in more detail? e.g. what happens if you're not in trim (turn sideways, turn upside down, or feet down)? does it affect your breathing? buoyancy? how do you control your buoyancy when on rebreather? what happens if you clear your mask? what happens when you descend? does your counterlung put pressure on your breathing? etc. etc.
I can just digest content of dives and cave dives all day long! Commentary is even better! But I can watch hours of this stuff the different rooms of different caves, etc.
Great video guys. Good visibility knew it had to be east coast Florida diving with that kind of vis. Only west coast Florida dive i have done with this kind of vis was Mexican pride. And i believe its about 50 75 miles offshore. Awesome!
The deepest dive I’ve been on according to my watch is just over 50m… I was in the bath tub. I had a watch that was supposed to be able to go down to that depth even though I don’t dive those watches tend to be tough and I can wear them all the time. I took it back to the shop and told them I apparently had a very deep bath.
I really really want to get rebreather course and own a kiss rebreather! But money pretty expensive for me. I’m so jealous to see all of u badass rebreathers on the video! Awesome!
I'm not a diver but I consider myself a strong swimmer I've always wanted to scuba dive at least once wanted to thank you guys for the great amount of education you provide about this crazy dangerous and wonderful activity
as a AOW diver, i love the tips & content here :D finally finish all dive talk podcast on spotify :) i think i'll be getting my nitrox cert soon, thanks guys
Awesome to see some dive footage. Feel free to keep this sorta footage coming, can never have too much to watch between dives. xD I'm hoping to hit up some of the wrecks in Florida myself after the move closer to the keys. Stay safe and dive often
This was so cool. I thought it'd be cool to do this, there's a part of me that wants too... until you said the words Great White Shark Tooth. 🦈 I'll keep to wading in Lake Granby. 😊
Man 13:15 and 13:25 you mention twice/both times that Open Circuit divers run out of air!! Firstly they don't run out of air (not unless they've been complacent or had a serious failure), they hit their pre defined reserve, and planned to return to the service once they reached that reserve, not run out of air! Secondly, in Tec Diving in the UK, we normally refer to it as 'Gas', as its less specific, for example those divers who as you stated 'ran out of air' may have in fact been diving Nitrox and not Air.... I realise I'm being pedantic with both of those issues, however that 1st one 'running out of air' I think is important to clarify, as you don't need to invest in closed circuit rebreathers to avoid running out of air!! (Gas! 🤣)
You can really see the advantage of CCR here! You computer shot at 12:36 shows PPO2 of 1.36 bar abs and you're at 57 feet depth (ambient 2.73 bar abs), so your O2 concentration is pretty much 50%, meaning the remainder (no HE in your diluent) is Nitrogen, and hence your EAD in terms of Nitrogen partials is just 24 feet deep! No wonder your NDL is off-scale-high Basically, continuous optimum nitrox blending as you dive :-)
I'm worried that my medication will prevent me from doing SCUBA. I love snorkelling. I used to not even have a snorkel, and get checked on all the time as I spent 3-4 minutes face down. I totally love those folks that checked on me, great folks. I want to get deeper, longer, and not constantly straining to stay down (I'm more Gus shaped than Woody shaped). hopefully my meds don't totally prevent me, because you guys have totally convinced me to try. From what I remember, that crackling is parrot fish (and friends) nipping the coral. Is that correct?
Finally!! Super awesome upload Gus! Love the commentary and the information during the dive! AMAZING, No wonder you're hitting 18k after hitting 10k couple weeks ago! Congrats! and i would love to see more editing and maybe adding like your image in the corner with notes that contain whatever you feel like sharing about the vid or something, just so your videos become personalized and people would recognize a dive talk video without the need of sound even, So whether it's downloaded or happen to be found randomly, it's a special style of videos that would lead to this channel. More contents more often! Hell of a job Gus, Love it. #WoodyTrooper
Ap Inspiration, "yellow box of death." just kidding, all rb's are designed to keep divers alive. And brand loyalty as well as brand bashing is part of the diving fun. Me? Divesoft Liberty rebreather is the best of course. But all Shearwater controlled rebreathers are awesome even if mine doesn't use shearwater for rebreather control.
Question around 7:54min into the video you are showing the controller for the breather, it is showing CC ( closed circuit) but the 21/00 (O2/He) isn’t that the gas you have in yr tanks to mix the gas? Or did u changed the setup screen that it’s showing Bailout? Just wandering because it’s different on my screen 🧐😅
That’s the mix I had for diluent. I also have 100% o2. So I’m mixing air and o2 throughout the dive and making the best Nitrox mix for any depth I’m in at all times. Pretty cool huh?
@@DIVETALK ah ok so the stage yr having is yr DIL and BO together, it’s different than my setup. I carry stages for BO gas but the dil is a small bottle mounted on the breather
I’ve heard rebreathers, if elements of it get wet, can start breathing in something acidic. I was in the navy and my buddy was. Navy Diver and said he got some acidic stuff in his mouth from from it one time.
If a rebreather floods you can get something called caustic cocktail. It is not very common, I have almost 200 dives on a rebreather and have never had a caustic cocktail.
@@andreabuzzolan9807 I guess you could die if you don’t stop drinking it but you stop immediately once you taste it. It’s like asking “can you die if you consume battery acid? Yeah but you won’t die if it just touches your lips and tongue. You’ll get burned a little bit but you won’t die. You’ll just spit your regulator and switch to your bailout.
far be it from me to point stuff out to someone with lots more experience than i have on the subject, but i have to ask, your mask at about 14 minutes into the vid, when youre talking about your rebreather being wonky. is that what people are talking about when they say mask squeeze? your forhead looks like its about to pour over the top of the mask so i know its gotta be pressing pretty good. if so, how do you take care of that issue, fill the mask with water then purge to equalize like you would getting rid of fog, or something else? open water orientation is 2 days from now so im genuine in my question, just wanting to learn. thanks!
Do you always carry a regular tank when diving a rebreather? Or only when overhead environment? Think I would always want a spare tank when on a rebreather just in case…
Cool to see how you deal with lionfish - I was wondering how you handled the bodies since the only thing I know about them is through the aquarium hobby that they're venomous, so figured you couldn't just stick them on a rope like other fish.
No stinkin way.... You guys dove the four corridors? I have a few dives there as well. I had no idea you guys went to West Palm.... Did you dive with Pura Vida(Yes, you did, watched more into the video, love those guys, they are an AWESOME crew)? I saw the ship and my gut was SCREAMING at me that I had been there before... Also, the governors riverwalk is my FAVORITE site in west palm so far, I watched two sharks swim in formation there, unreal.
@@DIVETALK For sure, they have always been a pleasure to dive with. I dove that same four corridors wreck with them, and I looked up and it felt like there were as many fish as there were stars in the sky, reminds of that one bible verse: "Genesis 26:4 - I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed," which I learned funnily enough from Resident Evil. I am not necessarily religious myself(agnostic), but every time I look at the frame I pulled when I panned up during that dive it reminds of that verse.
I think the best method is to have the ability to plan and execute a technical dive without a computer but have one anyway because we are human and underwater math is hard. I wouldn't recommend diving without a computer but like an SPG, a computer is only there to confirm what you should already know.
"There's something on the bottom - Probably aliens" 😂😂😂
And by probably I meant “almost certainly”
As someone who doesn’t dive, this is a really cool experience! It almost feels like I’m there with you. Love the commentary, keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
@@DIVETALK You should do a video on drysuits. Im trying to figure out if I want to get a D7X or Argonaut. HELP...
Sweet
“ There’s something on the bottom. I don’t know, probably aliens” Gave me a good chuckle 👍
Ha that is funny.

You can tell which one is woody when he gets excited and talks through the rebreather 😂
Awesome video. I'm doing my openwater checkout dives this Saturday and Sunday
Have fun!
I lived in Florida for 16 years. Did most of my diving out of West Palm. Really miss it.

Well played Josh, well played
Awesome footage
Awesome to see some dive footage. Feel free to keep this sorta footage coming, can never have too much to watch between dives. xD

@@stevedenruyter4902 it’s the same on the KISS Spirit
@@DIVETALK ah ok so the stage yr having is yr DIL and BO together, it’s different than my setup. I carry stages for BO gas but the dil is a small bottle mounted on the breather
On the Sidewinder in Mexico we often bring 32% nitrox as diluent and bailout. Caves are generally quite shallow there. On deeper dives trimix.
This is the kind of video we want to see
Dan we are making many more of these and have lots more of them in our video vault.
I’ve heard rebreathers, if elements of it get wet, can start breathing in something acidic. I was in the navy and my buddy was. Navy Diver and said he got some acidic stuff in his mouth from from it one time.
It does become alkaline actually, not acidic. Like battery tasting and it’s caustic. That’s the sorb which removes the co2 and yes that must stay dry.
If a rebreather floods you can get something called caustic cocktail. It is not very common, I have almost 200 dives on a rebreather and have never had a caustic cocktail.
@@DIVETALK is it deadly if it happen? or the quantities of caustic material that one can breathe are limited?

far be it from me to point stuff out to someone with lots more experience than i have on the subject, but i have to ask, your mask at about 14 minutes into the vid, when youre talking about your rebreather being wonky. is that what people are talking about when they say mask squeeze? your forhead looks like its about to pour over the top of the mask so i know its gotta be pressing pretty good. if so, how do you take care of that issue, fill the mask with water then purge to equalize like you would getting rid of fog, or something else? open water orientation is 2 days from now so im genuine in my question, just wanting to learn. thanks!
Do you always carry a regular tank when diving a rebreather? Or only when overhead environment? Think I would always want a spare tank when on a rebreather just in case…
Yes. Always. I carry two when I go Cave Diving.
Cool to see how you deal with lionfish - I was wondering how you handled the bodies since the only thing I know about them is through the aquarium hobby that they're venomous, so figured you couldn't just stick them on a rope like other fish.
I love scary holes 🕳️
No stinkin way.... You guys dove the four corridors? I have a few dives there as well. I had no idea you guys went to West Palm.... Did you dive with Pura Vida(Yes, you did, watched more into the video, love those guys, they are an AWESOME crew)? I saw the ship and my gut was SCREAMING at me that I had been there before... Also, the governors riverwalk is my FAVORITE site in west palm so far, I watched two sharks swim in formation there, unreal.
@@austintest9767 yep! Love Pura Vida.
@@DIVETALK For sure, they have always been a pleasure to dive with. I dove that same four corridors wreck with them, and I looked up and it felt like there were as many fish as there were stars in the sky, reminds of that one bible verse: "Genesis 26:4 - I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed," which I learned funnily enough from Resident Evil. I am not necessarily religious myself(agnostic), but every time I look at the frame I pulled when I panned up during that dive it reminds of that verse.
I think the best method is to have the ability to plan and execute a technical dive without a computer but have one anyway because we are human and underwater math is hard. I wouldn't recommend diving without a computer but like an SPG, a computer is only there to confirm what you should already know.
Fair enough.
