"I'm available." 😂 "Were gonna get canceled." 🤣 I freaking love you two.
I LAUGHED SO HARD THERE!!
Me too, hahaha. They crack me up with their banter@@KamalAdnanTheFirst
I also think I heard "you keep saying that...", pure comedy.
😂😂😂😂😂Woody with the Rizz
This video had me dying .. Gus your face . You looked like you were about to have to pay bonds for woodies freedom 😂😂😂
The way Gus experiences secondhand embarrassment from stuff Woody says will never be one of my favorite bits of the show haha
I burst my coffee when Gus said “ you look like Michael Jackson” 😂😂😂
Woody the rizzler
I wish I hadn't read your comment before I watched the video!
Woody: i'm available ;)
Gus(thinking): *we're gonna get cancelled harder than House of Cards*
Same here as everyone is saying about cracking up when Woody did the "call me" thing and Gus' reaction! OMG It still makes me laugh. That could not have been funnier if it were scripted. Love it!!!
wow gus has had a transformation!!
I know right? Gus looks absolutely amazing!
As a lifelong devout non-diver, I love love love your videos! You two are the perfect team 👏🤣🤣
Same
The sequel to 47 meters down contains cave diving and it’s hilarious. It’s called 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, if you want to react to it. One of the jumpscares is a fish screaming. Yes, a fish screaming. And the dad in the film wishes he were Mike Young so bad.
SO MUCH DIVE TALK IN TWO DAYS!!!
And it’s absolutely amazing 😂
I’m currently stuck in a small town with a broken car after returning from an amazing diving vacation. I really needed this video to perk me up!
She's so correct; I dived a lot last year and my air consumption dropped! I literally just sit around or hover whilst the rest of the group is flailing. Most of my dives are recs with less experienced divers so I tend to just watch people. I also try to keep up cardio by swimming in the ocean in Sydney even though I'm not a fan of the cold water here. I only do it because I want to get stronger and improve my cardio, and get getter at swimming in currents! I can't believe she wore 3mm in 20degrees - in Australia now we wear 5mm in 24 - 25 degrees. But yeah diving is very calming for me so it helps with my breathing and air consumption.
Thanks for the review; I had no idea she's in Australia. Will look her up!
Those bends really hit woody hard, he's going to need a dive buddy 😉
Yey , another video . Am not a diver but love the knowledge you both have on diving and your humble approach. I am learning so much . Thank you :)
Never too late to become a diver. The ocean (or lake) is pretty neat.
Me too!
Daamn gus is looking amazing, haven’t watch a video in a while didn’t realize he got in such great shape!!
The chemistry is unmatched with you guys
Oddly, I really enjoyed Gus talking about how when he was first diving he flailed around like a noob. Makes me feel better about my own flailings.
Got so sick of shivvering so much I can’t even make it down to my thirds.
Dry suit will be finished being made in 2 more months. 😂👌 Thanks for affirming my purchase lol
@@Navy1977 I went with SeaSkin. Value per dollar, it just seemed like the obvious choice. The drawback is you're gonna wait a little while. But with something like this, the patience seems to pay off.
All very good points, one though that I would add would be to be properly weighted. If you dive too heavy it takes more air in your BCD to keep you afloat. But, sometimes it also literally does just come down to biology/ physiology; if you're a 6 ft 4 inch tall marathon runner, you're likely to have bigger lungs & use more air than a 5ft tall (small) person with tiny lungs. Simple!
That's a great point! I should have mentioned that in the streamline section. I really have to start reading my notes...
This is amazing. I will definitely be showing this to my students. Would you guys be willing to do a video with tips for new intructors? I started working as an instructor few months ago and i know i have long way to go. I'm trying to learn as much as i can and any tip s very welcomed. I already learned a lot from you, but if you would do a video where you would give tips to new instructors from your own experience, that would be amazing. Or maybe if you could mention few more good videos like this one? That really helps a lot...
That means so much to me! Thank you! Where do you teach? I do have quite a range of videos to help newbies but would also love to see Gus's and Woody's take on those.
I teach in Koh Tao, Thailand at the moment. Started working as an instructor about 3 months aog. I know all that stuff but it is really helpful to see different approach and way of teaching from someone who is experienced @@OceanPancake
Michael Jackson 😂😂😂😂 I didnt see it as weird, he just said available for a dive buddy Gus nothing else 😂😂 so funny
I knew nothing about diving until I watched ur vids, I’m obsessed with every vids u post, it’s so educational + interesting. You both always make me laugh 😘
You guys are awesome, I’ve been binging your videos, I’m so glad I found you two!!
It’s so awesome seeing how much this channel has grown since I first subbed to you guys
".....she would get it" 😳 context matters 😆
I laughed at this too - the timing was perfect
That one went over my head until this comment...
If you know, you know 😂
I initially consumed air at a horrific rate. Instructor had me buddy breathing on the first open water dive since I hit the number prior to anyone else. This was despite being in excellent shape- hour of intense cardio 5 days a week, lifting once a week, and very comfortable in the water (swimming in the ocean since I was kid, all the swim classes up through lifeguard certification, and being a Navy pilot going through the dunker tank training quite a few times).
Told the divemaster on my first dive after certification (in Hawaii) to expect I'd be burning through the tank and that would drive my having to surface early. He asked me about my background and advised me to count to 8 slowly when inhaling, and to 10 slowly when exhaling. Huge difference in consumption and gotten better since then. I do have to think more about breathing while diving, I can't just 'breathe normally'.
It's great that you found a solution that works for you! I've never met anyone of your fitness level and comfort that had a similar situation. But it's great to know so I can include that as a possible solution for future divers.
Another video in the same night? Thank you so much
Awesome. Very good tips. She hit on the dive shallow and I will add that it also helps if you dive shallow “er” on deeper dives. I see a lot of people that feel like they have to be right on the bottom, by coming up 10 to 20 feet you’ll see more and use less gas.
Exactly! No need to be at the absolute limits of your deco
I love Katt! Thanks for sharing her video!
You also made me feel better! I thought I was getting soft with time… as I’ve gotten a bit more experience with diving I’ve been way more sensitive to cold haha.
Awh thanks! I'm so stoked to see people who've seen my content here. Must have great taste :)
I’m a firefighter and I use alot of the techniques she talked about when I’m using my SCBA. Two things that I think are so true is not thinking about your breath and practice. The more dives you go on the more comfortable you will be. I use to drill and work out without being on air. Now that’s the only way I drill. Great video!
Love you guys and the sh#$ you give each other in good fun. It's been awesome watching you grow the channel and I've learned so much from you guys. Keep up the good work!
I would also add appropriate weighting lessens your consumption, less to drag through the water and less gas required in your wing/bcd to remain naturally buoyant. Great tips, great video!
Looking great, Gus!
Did y'all see she reacted to y'all's reaction🤣 I thoroughly enjoy every video you 2 post!
Thanks Gus, you are saving it! But good Video in all. Regards from Germany! Denis
I’m not a diver. Found your channel when you guys started. A Canadian living on Georgian bay. You’ve made me want to get scuba certified at minimum. I’m scared of drowning. Although I’m a good swimmer and love to swim. You guys have made me feel safe to get scuba certified.
Thank you so much for 2nd video 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤
I don't think Woody even meant to make the comment that we perceived about Kat; it felt like he realised as Gus facepalmed, because he sounded genuine when he tried to explain it off. A few people in the comments here are disgusted by it, but from my POV it didn't look intentional, but they played off the joke - I wouldn't take it too seriously, guys and gals.
I definitely had a good giggle about it.
@@OceanPancake I'm glad to hear you saw the humour in the video - your diving skills are impressive by the way! I'd love to see you guys collab!
You should do a meet up in the keys one time, so it not as expensive for people, Love the videos
Being relaxed and moving mindfully is very underrated. I notice that a lot, the more "action" and "hustle" there is under water at a divespot, the further gone is the wildlife you`re looking for.
Also, i noticed that i get colder way easier, which shows me how much unnecessary moves i must have done which used air and keept me warm.
I just noted how much difference your head and thinking makes. If i have to guide and need to watch out for others, especially in our conditions with currents, i use 25% more air.
Gus saying we are going to get canceled had me laughing so hard
hey i would dive with Woody without any issue 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪dive buddies 4ever WOOHOOO
Guess you guys know that Katt has not long uploaded a reaction to your reaction to her video. If you react to that....? But Woody, she's up for a dive with you and wants to show you the beautiful coral reefs of Oz. You'd just have to fly out there to do it!!
Hey GUS! Looking good buddy. You are looking very healthy! Keep up the great work and excellent videos... WOODY, Always a great show! I wish more people would listen to experiences like these so that there are fewer preventable accidents! Keep up the Great videos and amazing work!
- Get weighted correctly
- Make sure you have slept and eaten properly and are dressed to stay warm enough.
- Get your equipment sorted so it matches you AND the circumstances of the particular dive. Be familiar with it so you don’t have to focus on meddling around with it all the time.
- Get your buoyancy right, stop mucking about with the inflator all the time, calmly use your lungs for minor, necessary adjustments and don’t hold your breath.
- Get streamlined and learned proper efficient finning.
- Be physically calm, maintain the lowest pulse rate possible for the activity, don’t make ANY movements that are not strictly necessary to achieve specific ends. Necessary, goal-directed, non-hectic, non-impulsive movement only.
- Establish and maintain a slow, calm breathing pattern that maximises the efficient oxygen uptake on every breath. Pay extra attention to a slow, controlled in-breath and a calm relaxed turnaround to the outbreath . Again - never hold your breath.
- Understand water movement and use local geography and strategic placement in the water column to your advantage so as to minimize water resistance and general calorie expenditure.
- Start the kind of breathing you want for the dive BEFORE you hit the water, and enter calmly without changing it. You tend to bring the rythm of your surface breathing with you for as long as the first 5-20 minutes if you don’t pay attention to it or cultivate relaxed breathing habits to where it’s automatic.
- Get all this sorted and focus on a point of interest to let it all come together naturally.
- If you spot a turtle or coveted nudibranch - don’t lose your shit and start flailing about. Just enjoy it calmly - you’ll be more focused that way and be able to enjoy it for longer.
Practice suggestion: do your next dive as a meditation where you drop to the deepest point, establish neutral buoyancy and from then on only let air OUT as necessary with the inflator during a gradually ascending profile - you don’t inflate again unless necessity somehow demands it. On this dive move as little as possible - barely at all. Just feel the water and use it to your advantage. Keep your breathing slow and relaxed. The main goal is preserving it like this, just a hair above what it’s like when you fall asleep on the couch.
Woah I was actually stalking because I couldn’t sleep at all and its morning so. But. Now I’m super early 😭 I’ll come back after I finish the video with my thoughts yall brb❤ ( I’m a rescue diver and I have been since I was 14/15 but I’ve been certified since 13 I’m 20 now 21 in 5 months)
First thing I found is one thing ab me is I’m always gonna be zooming everywhere looking at everything😂 I can’t help myself, but because of that I always see things others don’t and I give others chances to see things they otherwise wouldn’t have had I not found it. I will say tho my air is still on par if not better than all my dive instructor dive buddies.
Second “no we’re gonna get cancelled “ 😭💀
omg YES THE FIN TIP IS A HUGE ONE!!! If y’all don’t know now you do but the scuba pro go travel fins are theeee BEST!!! They can be used with a slim boot (the kind without the reinforcement on the toes), a Lyra sock, or barefoot.
All these other tips are really great tho!!
Hey, I'd absolutely love Woody as a dive buddy!
We would too!
Those are great tips.
Woody is ready to risk it all, and I love it lol
Ocean pancake should be a channel with 500K subs, she gives awesome ideas
Awhhh! Youre a legend! I definitely try and help as many people as possible get into the water and protect our beautiful oceans.
Yes!! Get more people underwater
Yay more videos 🎉
ive been waiting for this video
Question/video request: I recently saw a video for an all-inclusive beach resort, and the person recommended doing all the "book work" at home to get certified so as not to waste vacation time getting certified to go diving once there. Can you make a video explaining how to get certified to dive? Like all the options, pros/cons to each, etc.? Thanks if you can!
3:00 Gus you also have less insulation on your body (great work!!)
Man I love sharks, but that school of green chromis was beautiful!!!
Love your channel guys, Woody you are hilarious man!
when i used to do swimming before i damaged my back diving off the diving board... i used to swim underwater.. i managed to do an entire length under water... but id first go down tot eh bottom of the deep end and swim along the entire bottom of the pool... 25 metres plus the 3 metres downwards.. i found that swimming slow actually makes it easier.. instead of trying to swim fast and get to the end as quick as possible its best to just relax, and do gentle strokes and take more time than your normal swimming speed... i also practise first by going under water and not swimming.. up and down... to increase the time i can swim for eventually.. i also trying to calm my heart first.. from having swum back to the start location so i will first rest to lower my heart rate from the swim back
she slide neutrally buoyant into Woody's Dm with a video about fins
I love your video chemistry 😂😅😂!
Gus is not wrong. Woody's comments make me feel icky. I'm dead sure I'm not the only female diver or fan that feels that way. We're not pieces of meat, and it's not "just appreciation". Woody, please, reconsider these comments :/
Great video!😂
Another thing to remember is for a new diver everything is new. Your brain is working really hard because every input it is used to is now different. This is why it's so tyring at the beginning. It's like new born babies they are processing so much information that is brand new all the time. This uses energy which for which you need oxygen so you use more air.
talking of fitness, i wonder if people who live at high altitude like Quechua / Aymara people in the Andes, would be better at diving than sea level people or worse? Cos, one thing is they are not used to being at high air pressures ie under water its the complete opposite almost so it could be a negative thing BUT.. when high altitude people come to sea level they for a certain time period feel super energetic and powerful cos breathing seems super easy with more oxygen cos they are used to having more efficient lungs.. they can store more oxygen in their blood cells and have barrel shaped chests with big lung capacity etc... someone should do an experiment for thing... and therefore if it proved they could dive better not worse. could going to high altitude for a week or so before diving also improve a non genetically improved high altitude person's ability to dive? or spending time in one of those chambers but set at lower than sea level air pressure? i guess it might cause you more problems in terms of gas in the blood? i forget the terminology
You guys are the best
I think you should dive with Richard Harris (the Aussie anesthesiologist) who did some insane deep cave dives he is basically a legend & you will never have to worry about him underwater lol 😂 (like you said). It would be so great to see 2 great divers diving.. Plus we will get to see him too which is rare. (ps there's a video interview by dive talk with him too).
I was a runner before I learned to dive so I have a low heart rate definitely helps.
Wish I could run...
@@OceanPancake me too, those days are long behind me, at least I still have the low heart rate
Woody's in love! ❤😅
Hey guys! Love the content as usual. I have a question, was just curious, when you count your cave dives, do you include your certification dives?
Great question. We only count dives after certification. No training dives are counted.
Thanks for replying! That’s what’s my gut was telling me 😂
And remember tip #1 - it's a competition to have the lowest consumption, especially with others
And if you are consuming faster than your friends... Don't forget to panic about it.
@@kapytanhook yes panicking will make you focus better on breathing and nothing else. But that's crucial to win the comp.
Yup. If you don't win, you might as well quit diving
Hello Divers, I’m new at diving, just got open water certified in November. In few weeks we are going to Belize and plan to do some recreational diving there with the master of course. Also we were thinking about to do Great Blue hole dive. I know our certification only allowed us to dive 60 feet deep, however we’ve been down to 85 feet, our instructor accidentally took us to that depth:) Anyway, we signed up with diving company in Belize and when we asked them about the great blue hole dive they told us as long as we had open water dive certificate they would take us for one deep dive a day before to give us little bit more training and see how we handle the pressure and if all goes well, then the next day we could dive the blue hole. They told us they take us down to 130 feet, although when I did some research people say quite often they end up going little deeper like 140 or 145 feet, it just happened without you realizing it. My question to this dive community here is do you think it’s a doable or we are buying more than we can chew, should we wait till we get advanced diving certificate? Has anyone here done great blue hole in Belize with just open water certificate? Again, we will be with the dive master, we don’t plan to do this alone or any other dive as a matter of fact:). Thank you in advance:)
@@Navy1977 There were no responses, it’s an older video, I commented on it days after it was posted, so video doesn’t have as many views usually, since this is brand new one and people watch it I wanted to repost it, do you have a problem with that? Or since you took time to comment under this do you me as well have any valuable suggestion or an advice to my original question? Or you just wanted to let me know that you saw my comment previously too and had nothing substantial to say?
@@Navy1977 Hey, @Navy1977 relax, you’re using up to much oxygen.
@@Navy1977 There was absolutely no comment, I kept checking it, even last minute before I commented here. I’m glad to listen to your advice, any experienced diver’s advice really, hence why I posted a question. And glad to learn any tips and helpful skills you might have to share.
@@Navy1977 Umm, there wasn’t and since you don’t have any input now I’m sure you had none before too. Dude, why waste your time or mine, this is so odd, you taking time to comment even when you have nothing to say 🤷🏻♀️🫤 Like what was the whole point of this 🤣🤣 Anyway, thanks, I’m hiring a dive master so we’ll see how it goes. 🤞 Hipefully I’ll make it alive 👌
"AS A DIVE BUDDY" 🤣
Nothing to add here 🥰👊
Gus his face is hilarious 😂
Yeee! I've done yoga and meditation for many years now. Hehe. Veganism, too.
Gus, you're looking good man!
Since Katt has invited Gus and Woody to Australia to dive, lets make it happen! DiveTalk Dives Down-Under, its a working title.
Ha ha Woody's in love😂😂
Kat is AWESOME!!!! Gus you you getting skinny so you gonna get cold. Woody is only thinking “Professionally “
You're awesome!
Just finished my open water last week & my first two recreational dives on the weekend. Only thing my DMs said I need to work on was the breathing but still got 40-45mins out of a 12L cylinder! Not too bad for a 46yo smoker.
I decided to actually get certified after watching your videos and have found what a chill & friendly community the dive community are!
You got a subscriber out of me but more importantly you got a diver out of me!🤿💙 cheers guys
Aloha to the dive community!
Two differnt generations combined. Woody talking like a normal person but Gus is connected with modern society and feels weird about it lmao
Check your hemoglobin, low iron was the reason I became more sensitive to cold, once I corrected it, it got better.
@@Navy1977 yes of course... What was I thinking?!...
I get yearly tests, still a massive wuss (or horse as the subtitles said)😅
First Rule : You must be comfortable in the water and learn to breath normally but you have to learn what that means for yourself.
Second rule : Dive a lot and gain experience.
Third Rule : Correct weighting
Go back to rule 1
Is there any medical tests that you need to pass before becoming a cave diver? Like do you have to take a physical to make sure you are fit enough and wont get into trouble down there? Love the videos!
😂 Woody about to sign up for her open water course
Question:
Does DAN pay for ALL the care related to a dive injury. Including follow up care such as doctor visits weeks later or even months later, physical therapy if the dive doctor orders it, home oxygen if the doctor orders it. Say a near drowning where there is lung damage or heart damage. Will DAN pay for all the follow up care related to that even if it lasts for years or is permanent damage. Say you need oxygen for the rest of your life secondary to permanent lung damage. Or a back injury related to diving where there is long term effects, would DAN cover that or is it more emergency care and after that is provided DAN is out of the picture. If your primary insurance found out it was a dive related injury and you have dive insurance they might refuse to pay for the care. Then if DAN says no to the coverage, what would you do. I bill insurance for a living and am curious. I see this with car accidents. Your car insurance is supposed to pay, when your reg. health insurance figures out you were hurt in a car accident, your health insurance wont pay.
How are you feeling after the incident woody 💚💙💙good to see you guys !
you are both perfect the way you are lol great videos. Got an interest to talk about helping people get over the fear of dunking or submerging their head in the water?
Im afraid of open water and the ocean, I never dived because I have major problems with pressure, but damn I love these videos its so interesting. Maybe I'll try it one day, even so I'm afraid and i have panic attacks its such a cool thing to do, maybe it would help my panic as therapy. But caves would be to risky for me
Just start slow. Tell the instructor about your problems/fears. Don't let anyone rush you. And try to start in a closed environment like a pool, if that seems less intimidating to you.
@@75jvs just from your stomach feeling, do you think it could help to be calmer and not panic so easily? Just from what I have seen I would guess it could be good training, but just with easy dives
I had an instructor work with me on mask clearing and some claustrophobia. His method was to gradually take me into the water by doing a shore dive. So we weren't very deep, and we could kneel on the bottom and work on the mask and claustrophobia. It wasn't 'open ocean,' but was still ocean. He got me over my fears in one shore dive.
@@Perqd I think it would help. If you find a good and patient instructor (most of them are) and take the small steps. I had many friends have their first dive with me and an instructor. They all were anxious at first, mainly bc of the 'crazy´ fact that you can breathe while under water. But they all were excited after the first try and went for more dives. Remember, with many videos on the internet, you see worst case scenarios, but wayyy more often everything just goes smoothly. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many people diving and loving it. Plus, you don't have to do difficult dives. I don't dive often, and just want relaxed dives with good visibility to enjoy the sealife and feel the relaxed weightlessness under water. You don't have to achieve some kind of goal, only the goal of enjoyment!
I’ve never used a DPV. What sort of impact does using one typically have on your SAC rate? Gus, has your weight loss had an impact on your SAC rate?
It depends. It can be quite relaxing and you'll reduce your SAC. But if you're going fast and following a complex path or dealing with decompression stops it can take some effort to dive a DPV. More stress will cause a higher heart rate and faster breathing.
Umm, yeah - experience is helping with relaxing - but the increased sensitivity to cold... is due to old. There is a plateau to where the experience gets you in terms of relaxing - after that it is age. Also, unlike some other physical attributes, your body does not "acclimate" to the cold in the same way over time.
Definitely be more like a Barracuda, than Shark - Swimming like a shark will blow your energy, since you do not have the vertical mulsculature and components needed to swim side to side that way. If you are going to pick another animal to emulate, pick a Dolphin, since they have horizontal movement and stabilization that humans can emulate in kicks.
How long do you have to wait to dive again WOODY?I'M NOT A DIVER BUT I WATCH DIVE TALK AND GUS CONGRADULATION ON THE WEIGHT LOSS AND GETTING HEALTHY!GINA FROM ALABAMA
Woodys rizz knows no bounds
As a newbie diver, it is recommended to have single tank gear even if i want to get sidemount cert?
GUS AND WOOODY!!!
6:25 LMFAOOOOOO
Woody: ❤ I'm available. ❤
Gus: No. 😮 We are going to get canceled. You look like Michael Jackson.
I dive like a trumpet fish, especially in my dry suit
Minimal movement. I get you. I used to do the full body turn to look at my students behind me
we notice the weight loss, btw. great work gus!
Gus your jawline is lookin 😫 good job my friend 💪💪
I think she made this video to give woody a good day lol :D
Like a salmon heading upstream to lay eggs. Exactly like that.
As you get more experienced, you adjust your bc air less. This saves air consumption.
Good point!
For me task loading really changes my consumption. I just came out of vacation with a new camera and all the work I put in to get a shot really increased by SAC rate.
Normally because people with cameras forget about their breathing (&sometimes their surroundings) & only think about the photo.
@@rabbieburns2501 I kinda disagree. I think the effort I put in to get a good shot and NOT destroy the reef takes effort. Anyone can kneel down and take a picture and it wouldn't take a lot of physical effort.
