    BlueWorldTV is one of the best channels. It's fun. It's educational. It's not depressing or soooo-the-drama. It's positive and uplifting. It's not just "look at me". Each episode actually tells a little story. It's something any from ages 1 to 100 can enjoy. Thank you! Production values are amazing, as always.

    Edd's buoyancy control is absolutely spot on. Great job !

    • @BlueWorldTV
      @BlueWorldTV  Год назад +22

      It's even more impressive when you realize he is diving a rebreather, where buoyancy control is way harder.

    • @oliverwells8011
      @oliverwells8011 Год назад +5

      Craziest buoyancy control video I've seen is where the guys do the dive upside down, instead of facing the floor they're facing the ceiling and their bubbles go down in the video.. it messes with you

    I found some of these salamanders while surveying bat caves in northwestern Oklahoma! There was a super low ceiling and knee-high murky water. We saw some movement and carefully lifted one up to investigate! It's actually up on my channel (maybe 10 videos deep). Love the videos and glad you got to experience them!

    Cave diving is a thrill,
    My heart pumping a thrill.
    Adventures in the dark,
    In search of salamanders spark.
    Into the depths of the unknown,
    To explore what's never been shown.
    Slippery rocks and dark walls,
    The salamanders darting around the halls.
    Beautiful colors so bright,
    In the darkness they are a sight.
    Staring in awe,
    At creatures so small.
    The cave is so calm,
    My heart beats like a bomb.
    Exploring with no sight,
    Is an amazing delight.
    Salamanders so wise,
    They show me the way through the night.
    Cave diving is a thrill,
    My heart pumping a thrill.

      @@BlueWorldTV My thought is you could sell a premium version to Disney for some "experience" or something like that, maybe for science museums, etc... a booth people sit in and watch it... you could sell it to a software company to make a video game experience. I don't think just releasing 3d on youtube or elsewhere will do anything. It has to be containerized properly. The sharpness that comes across in 3d will blow people away in this environment though.... just saying... they won't know how good it is until they see it. The experience of someone moving through this cave in VR is just as good as someone doing the same thing going up everest or k2, i think.... they are comparable dangerous "i'm never going to do this myself" experiences for most mainstream consumers. There is a finnish VR company that makes enterprise level headsets to do 3d modeling for expensive car dealerships to sell cars to international customers - Varjo. Some company like that could take your footage and turn it into a steam video game experience. This might not materialize but I do wildlife photography in montana a lot (1dxmkii) and I think you are tapping into something.... great footage man. Stealing footage this sharp from somewhere humans aren't supposed to be is like MAGIC.
