Here's the Gear we dive with: kit.co/divetal...
Woody thank you so much for a wonderful video. I think we are both in the Brian Kakuk fan club! And yes, you know I cried!! So emotional to be in such a place. Thanks for going to see the film in IMAX!
Make that the three of us! Gus.
It was extremely well done in every regard. Thanks so much for making this extraordinary artful documentary. It’s awesome!
I thought that was you in that film. Super job
When is it showing in IMAX London, UK?
You know why we love you guys? Most of us can't/won't be able to see these beautiful things. Y'all are our window into this world. Never stop 🤍
Awe thank you!
Omg. The pure joy pouring out of Woody in this is spectacular. I think I want to become a cave diver just to experience this.
I have never set my eyes in something so beautiful. Thanks for this post!
I'm not a diver (maybe one day) but this channel was in my recommended a few days ago and I've been hooked and very entertained
Thanks for the positive feedback and we are very glad you are enjoying it.
Couldn’t have said it better. This is such good, interesting content.
Mother nature is beautiful and has a lot of adventures to behold. I'm not a diver either. I have been binge watching mountaineering videos for ages. K2/Everest/Mont Blanc e.tc. It's all super fascinating and beautiful. Then I came across this channel and let's say that I am sold. Who would've known that we have been walking the earth looking up thinking what mysteries lies above the clouds when we could in fact in that time be walking over a world wonder scale adventure such as this cave.
And we know more about other planets than we do about our own oceans. Makes me wanna get a diving certificate ASAP.
With that being said, there are few things on this planet I respect more than water. I admire the people who put the effort and time in to explore all of this so I can get a taste of it myself through the comfort of my television.
Well said. They have inspired me to get certified in the future. I hope to also dive with these great people. I would love for them to never have to work a day in their life and just teach for a living. I'm sure they are on the way or there but I support the octopus and super Gus. 🙏 Also cave certified but that takes a few dives so I'll start with open ...
Same
I don’t dive but I’m obsessed with this channel. I’m horrified of drowning but getting to see some of the most beautiful things people can possibly see is extraordinary.
Thank you for tuning in and for subscribing!
Honestly as someone who’s new to diving, seeing your passion and enthusiasm just makes me so much more excited for my own personal journey. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Enjoy every dive every time.
Woody, I remember diving this room with Brian a few years ago. I also had tears of amazement. Brian and I were both on side mount and I didn’t want to exhale for fear of disturbing the decorations. They say that diving the nest is the mt. Everest of cave diving. I disagree. Diving these caves in Abaco with Brian is the pinnacle of cave diving!
Mike yes I agree. Thanks for chiming in. :)
I think this is it. I never thought I'd want to cave dive, and now it feels as though I've discovered a new passion.
I teared up just watching these pictures... Cannot even imagine the overwhelming ecstasy of viewing such a work of magnificence in person. It must be incredibly humbling.
People say we were born too late to explore the Earth; they should have a chat with Mr. Kakuk.
Absolutely accurate. He is still discovering new cave passage every week. Just amazing and magnificent.
"we didn't have the technology to film this cave 4 years ago" this alone is an amazing statement. Imagine you make it all the way back in the cave, always mindful of your trim and buoyancy and constantly paranoid that you are going to bump something. Add an imax camera to that situation.... I have incredible respect for everyone involved in the endeavor of filming this cave. What an honor it would be to capture and bring footage like this to those who do not have the ability or skill, etc, to be able see it for themselves.
Jesus I just thought of the absolute unit of the camera they had.
These videos have inspired me to sign up for SCUBA classes. I had such a deep seeded fear of the water and you guys have really shown how safe this activity can be when properly trained and prepared for.
Awesome!
Best part of this cave for me would be: No ads/screens/billboards in sight. Great footage, I would love to see this movie!
I hope you get the chance to see it. You’ll love it.
The passion you have for the subject is amazing. I hope everyone finds something that they love as much as you love cave diving.
You just made my day. Thank you!
I love listening to both of you. The passion and humility you and Gus have is fantastic.
Thanks for the comment and the support.
Dive Talk isn’t just my favorite youtube channel, it’s my favorite show in general. without it, I wouldn’t even know places like this existed and for that I’m forever greatful. I seriously hope to be able dive with you guys at some point in the future. diving has quite litterley changed my life
Idk why these videos just DO IT for me but they definitely hit the spot. I have yet to see an episode I don't absolutely love. I'm not even a diver by any means, actually hate the water. Worked at lake billy Chinook in Oregon for years and seen the "adventures with purpose" dive videos and it lead me to you guys. Watch an episode every day,! Thanks for always cheering me up dudes, some of us appreciate it more than you can ever know!!!
This is definitely my favorite video! Amazing! Gotta get certified!
Thank you so much for the support.
Wow... What a cave. Woody does a great job at conveying the pure *awe* you must get when seeing this in person.
As someone who studied geology for a couple of years at uni, I can truly appreciate the rarity of the conditions that create a cave like this. This is amazing! Im truly jealous that you got to experience this first hand.
I was truly amazed for sure. Hope you get to dive them.
This is such a gorgeous video! I'm on the list of people binge-watching this whole channel and I love what a great pair of guys you are. It's lovely hearing about your deep connection with what you do and these natural wonders x
Ive never dived before. Watching even this video is just... breathtaking. To only experience this in person would be a dream come true. Simply amazing. Thank you, Woody.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment. Means a lot. :)
As a Diver since 94 before RUclips I have seen a million channel's on diving and this is the only one I watch on the regular every new video I can't wait to see 🙈 it ASAP Like I just love this channel so entertaining...
Its like something straight out of a fairytale! I have watched so many dive talk videos and by far this one is my favorite
I really appreciate how Woody explains and shares his stories and experiences. I want to learn more about cave diving because of how he describes and explains things. Great video Woody!
Thanks for this uplifting video. I just watched the "Worst Instructor" video, and felt discouraged. Your honest enthusiasm and heartfelt reminder about the spiritual connection of extraordinary beauty, was much appreciated. I am so glad you had this experience, and thank you for sharing it with us.
I believe you were crying. I would have been too. Seeing something that very few will ever in its self is so emotional.! Great video woody THANKS for taking me there! BE SAFE my friend.
I had already wanted this as a goal so badly before seeing this video. The recent trip from Gus was enough. After seeing this video, it just has to happen. I’m laying out plans for a path to this on the sidewinder and appreciate you guys starting to work with me on that component of the journey. It’s beautiful on my iPad, I’m sure it’s incredible on IMAX… but in person. The silence, the weightlessness, the peace, and the full view. It just sounds beyond incredible. Beyond words.
Woody, I was crying just watching this! Mostly because I’m so happy you got to experience it, but also, just wow. Earth is a perfect church. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey with us. 💚
Your amount of respect for nature and its beauty is inspiring!
This video is stupendous. Only nature can create such beauty. What a privilege to be able to see this. Thank you so much Woody. You are a lucky man.
Keep up the great work gents! Really enjoying listening to your podcasts and reaction videos.
Thanks so much for the support.
Stunning. Remind me of a dry cave I explored with a friend in Colorado. Insane formations for hundreds of feet. Mind blowing.
Love your videos btw!
Havent ever dived and even my fiance and I teared up at this video what a gorgeous cave and it is amazing what our planet is capable of producing. Gives a new meaning to Beauty is found within. We both now more than ever want to get certified and eventually down the road look into taking that next step to cave diving. Thank you for sharing your experience woody and thank you to Brian and all the film crew who were able to put together a video of something that so few people will ever get to see.
It looks unbelievable, I have such admiration for your excitement and passion woody. You and Gus are awesome guys.
Woody, this was incredible. Thank you for sharing with us. I am so happy for you that you were able to have this experience.
I can’t believe how beautiful that is and all the prep that goes into doing a dive like this.
Very majestic. Not water is so crystal clear it literally looks like The divers were just floating in midair. Woody did it feel that way? The visibility is just crystal clear and you're surrounded by crystals. It had to have felt like you were in outer space. Wow... Thank you so much for sharing this. I will have to check out the movie! ❤️
What a beautiful video, that's love right there, that's feeling deep love for your profession, for nature, for your instructors... thanks you Woody for this video, your experience was truly magical, and it was beautiful to hear it.
Can't wait to see it! I love Johnathan's Videos! He's a Great filmographer! I remember first seeing the inside of ginnie springs and thinking this is the most beautiful place i've seen. I can't imagine what you felt like seeing that place.
I just felt privileged and very fortunate. Thanks for this comment.
Thanks for this Woody! Unfortunately… I won’t be able to watch this in IMAX, but I will have to check out this movie! The personal connection you have with this breathtaking cave made this more special. That’s so awesome you got to see this place in person, that’s a blessing!
What an amazing place, those formations are absolutely gorgeous!
Yes and as I said in the video it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever set my eyes on.
That’s amazing to see . I’m a diver have been for years but I’ve never had the ambition to cave dive . That cave is awesome.
Nothing to this extent but I somewhat know the feeling of being somewhere super cool not everyone has been. There are valleys in Afghanistan that are stunningly beautiful and when I stopped to take in the scenery I felt I wasn't in a warzone. I felt like I was in a place that dropped straight from a fantasy book.
That’s awesome.
Absolutely breath taking.
This is awesome. I now realize how revolutionary CCR diving is for you all!
This channel is about to blow up big, amazing videos
Thanks for this awesome encouragement.
I am going to have to go and listen to your podcast! Just listening to your RUclips channel makes my work day go by real fast. Thank you for that! You guys crack me up AND I learn things! Perfect combo!
I think the experience this cave gives is one that can only be truly understood in person. Seems absolutely beautiful
It’s amazing.
Wow! I'm a crystal and mineral collector. I've learned a lot from a few of my geologists friends and that's pure beauty right there! Must've been so amazing in person
Astoundingly beautiful rarity in the world. I know I will never see it in person, so thank you for sharing it here. Going to have to see the film now.
Not an IMAX close but I will look for one and will drive! Can’t wait.
Just saw Ancient Caves at the Omni Max at Boston Museum of Science - I'm left speechless. I dive and seeing it this way is the only way I can see it in my lifetime! I commend you for your courage and quest for knowledge, mastery and adventure. Thank you for sharing so earnestly - of course they make it look sooo easy, but that is far from the truth. I was so nervous for them and felt panic for the guy who was stuck. As you said, the camera does not do it justice - and can only imagine the beauty. Thank you for sharing!
Woohoo! So glad you watched it! It’s such an awesome movie.
I watched the filming of them going in there recently and even as a non- diver was mesmerised by the beauty of the place xxxx nice one woody and congrates xxxx
I’m not a diver, maybe one day I would do it, and that’s because I found this channel, so thank you woody and Gus, you opened my eyes to a new possible hobby. ✨🙏🏻
Like many before me I found your videos and have been binging..love you both. Not a diver and may never get the chance or be brave enough to even try however, you've provided me and many others with knowledge and a glimpse of the experience. Thank you
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
The Hype! Never been one for reaction videos but F*** I love this channel and both of you
Absolutely beautiful. I would have cried as well. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience.
Edit: I also believe in a higher power. I studied Biology in college and I just don’t see how there’s not with the beauty on earth. I also believe that the belief in a higher power coincides well with evolution and science in general.
Love the format guys, thinking this has the potential to be something big, keep up the great content!!
Wow super encouraging and thank you!
Wow Woody, cried like a baby! I feel you! I cried when l flew over lava on the Big Island! It does touch you spiritually! Good music makes me cry too. Hugs from Maui!
WOOOOW that was AMAZING, thanx!
Jonathan Bird is one of the most positively buoyant people on RUclips and his channel Blue World is an inspiration. Been a massive fan for last 6years. Talk about taking your opportunities in life. Quality.
Wow, thank you for helping me to understand this feeling of pure exploration
Jon, thank you sir and thanks for watching.
Thanks for all the videos you guys upload, really interesting content! And I'm not even a diver, nor do I wanna become one 😁
Great to hear this from a non diver. Thanks!
Woody you are such a great story teller I keep my attention and you can tell you love cave diving!
Just made my day. Thanks!
@@DIVETALK I work overnights so I watch slot of everything and nothing I somehow started watching cave explorers which led to underwater cave divers, I think I watch things I’m afraid of like snakes crocodiles and phobias I think.I did scuba dive a couple times in the Florida keys in the reef not for long and my friends would say people come from around the world to do this...but I really like watching you and Gus and why do you not have lord followers your channel is awesome.
Love the channel :D I'm halfway through doing my open water, just need my final 2 dives to get certified. Obviously a long long way away from even considering get cave certified but really been enjoying the content, and the way your present all your reaction material is seriously amazing and helps understand the risks and importance of knowing your stuff and getting certified to enjoy these wonders safely! :)
Glad you like them!
Wow beautiful thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us !! I guess that this dive would really be more enjoyable on a rebreather !
Thanks. Yes the rebreather really does provide significantly more options so was fortunate to be able to dive it this way.
Having been to a few dry caves and mines I can say that no matter how great or mundane a photo looks traversing one is absolutely surreal. It's like being on a movie set.
Even if I had the money to become a diver and beginner cave certified I would never have the nuts to go inside this for fear of ruining it.
Woody, just know that we love you and we would never want you to do anything you aren't ready to do and anything that hasn't been done before. Just remember what's important and let that love guide you through any crisis.
Wow so amazing woody you did an excellent job my friend love you brother I was almost in tears brother wow so freaking awesome thank you so much for the video !!!!🙏
Even just watching these videos you get to learn so much about the not so commonly known, techinical aspect and complicated planning that goes into serious cave diving. I've never done a cave dive, well not a deep cave dive and I would never have know all the things you have to plan for and take into consideration just to do some aspects of cave diving. It's a privilege to at least experience it in a video, since seeing it in person is such an unlikely possibility.
Thanks for the comment and the support.
Came for the caves, stayed for your passion for exploring
Breathtakingly beautiful
I love your channel! Truly appreciate the stories you tell, and the information you give. I have never dived and not sure if il be able to, but its amazing to see this! Thank you!
Very grateful. Thank you!
Kinda reminds me of mountaineering, as a mountaineer cave diving has me hooked. You cave divers are so methodical and disciplined. My sport of mountaineering could take a hint from cave divers. More training, more SOP, and more caution. Cheers!
Well said!
Wow 🤩 you cave divers are brave (and must be very skilled) hats off to you ❤️
Something tells me woody is just modest amd very respectful. He has been diving for 40 years or so. He knows and has been around the best in the world and you dont get to know people like that if you your self arnt great like them. Just by the way gus has so much respect for woody tells me woody himself is great like these greatest in the world guys
The humility in this video was incredibly redeeming. 👍
Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that. It’s so gorgeous there.
Stunningly Beautiful still is not the words to describe. Woody... Wow...just WOW
I know it’s beauty beyond words.
Great video great footage! Awesome information and a wealth of knowledge I am starting to get excited thinking and hopeing some day I will have the money and time to learn how to dive!
This cave has been my end dream goal for the past year. I hope someday I get the privilege of diving that cave
I hope you do as well. As Brian would say “prepared to be amazed” when you see it. Enjoy!
I grew up about an hour away from kartchner caverns in Arizona. It’s a dry cave with amazing crystal formations, I’ve spent entire days taking the tour over and over.
Brian Kakuk and Steve Bogaerts videos are one of the main reasons I'm aiming for Full Cave next year. Currently working on Cavern and Intro.
They are inspiring and amazing for sure.
Really hoping they do more showings of Ancient Caves. Would love to catch a viewing of it in a dome IMAX.
If not, well then time to get more training and get to the point of seeing it for myself. xD
its hard to find a showing here in the NYC area
@@Gaandichokri They have a Facebook page that seems to say that the showing in Chattanooga on April 23rd -> 25th was a tester to see if a longer showing schedule would be a good idea.
Imma keep an eye on the Facebook and drive to a imax dome that's playing it, assuming the tester went well and they decide to do more runs.
The footage looks mind blowing and well worth a decent drive.
I'll link the Facebook group in-case you are interested in keeping an eye on it.
facebook.com/AncientCaves/
Don't worry, it's going to be really good in virtual reality headsets too. The effect is really similar.
I’m terrified of open water and can’t swim in anything that I can’t see below me, but this is one of the most amazing and beautiful things I’ve seen
Thanks for the comment and the support.
What an incredible story. I hope you start recording and uploading your personal dives. Would love your reaction to your own dives. Thanks for sharing.
We are planning on doing more of this soon.
I just want you to know, that this morning, you brought me a gift. I learned to dive when I was 10, and it served me well through my life. Teaching me how to maintain a Calm when All Hell breaks loose. Because at 16 I became disabled with a disease that requires me to keep that calm or end up in Serious trouble. (Neuromuscular Disorder). Later I Lost most of my Vision. So things like Movie Theatres are now Lost on me. (I can't see my own outstretched fingertips.) You Brought me Beautiful Calm places, I could not see in person any more. Thank-you.
This may be the most rewarding reason for dive talk that we have heard. I’m so very glad to have been able to help you in this way. Thanks so much for telling us this. Hopefully we can bring you many more calm moments as well. Made our day!
Woody's in the driver's seat, watch out everyone!! 😂
Lol I started pushing buttons and had no idea what was gonna happen. :)
Nice!!!!
Good for you Woody 👍
OMG... I want to go here. I doubt I will ever get that chance as it would take about 5 years, 70 grand and sooooo much work (at the minimum). I tear up... and my heart aches to be in this place one day. You ever feel that way about a place... or photo you have seen? sigh... Our world is amazing. Humanity is still GOOD. Thank you Woody for this video. I felt the heart hug.
Could you even imagine adding an IMAX camera to your cave diving kit?
Sounds infinitely harder than a regular dive.
Do they have to have a guy that's specifically responsible to make sure cameraman does ok?
and yes, I know I'm months late to the party here sorry for bumping the old videos. :D
Odd, I had thought you were a cave diver already! Congratulations!
Hi Crystal. Perhaps you misunderstood. I have been a cave diver for a few years but this video is a reflection of when I did my training there and Brian Kakuk took me to Fanghorn Forest on my graduation dive. (A few years ago).
I've had the "prepare to be amazed" talk. But it was right before I jumped out a plane with the Navy Seal skydiving team. They weren't wrong either. Those guys are nuts.
I’m gonna clip woody going “very cool” because I feel it’s iconic
Also y’all got me wanting to go learn how to dive instead of being straight spooked by it. Damn y’all
Have you guys seen 47 meters down? They made a second one called 47 meters down uncaged and it takes place in a cave. It’s definitely goofier but would love to see y’alls reaction!
A few people have dared us to watch it. 😂
@@DIVETALK would love to see your reaction!!!
You are the beast woody !!! And gus !!!
Not a diver, but am interested in getting certified someday (always wanted to do rescue diving). This came up in my recommendations and I've loved the passion and knowledge. Inspiration to get lessons savings done and sign up!
What a magical place absolutely beautiful and magical
The conditions it took to create that cave are a perfect model of the perfect universe, designed that way! Everything had to be laid beforehand so it could create the present world. Every single block and every single moment leading to now.
(0:15) “… and the reason why we’ve agreed to allow me to do this particular REACT RIGHT video by myself…” hahaha that SSI instructor part of Woody’s brain slipping in a few words
Ha
Even not being a cave diver, but extremely fascinated by it, I loved this video! Learning about the dive and the small glimpse of the forest, of course, but even more so I appreciate your passion. I’m almost certain I’ll be the same way when I visit the MLB HOF in Cooperstown.
I have to disagree with one thing you said, though I completely understand your meaning. When you said you don’t consider yourself as qualified to teach or tell about it (sorry, can’t remember your exact words) but because of the guys you learned from, sharing what you learned from them because you said they’re qualified. In my opinion, because you aren’t the type who’s overconfident saying you know everything, etc., but that you’re always learning, that’s what makes you qualified. If I were to decide I want to learn, you, well both of you, are exactly the types of people I’d want to learn from!
BTW, I won’t go into a deep theological discussion, but the Higher Power, I couldn’t agree more, and his Name is Jesus Christ, the Name above all names!
Thanks for another great video, so glad I was recommended this channel by RUclips and subscribed!
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement!
@@DIVETALK yes sir!
