Hey guys, I am trying to start a diving RUclips channel but my parents won’t let me, if I get my latest post to 25 likes they said I could post. I would be extremely happy.
@@12w0Yes but no one is forcing these people to make videos informing others or rather misinforming them. In conversation day to day it’s understandable or the occasional mistake in script reading or research but these videos are clearly made by non divers with little research.
Im an EMT and you talking about how you'd react in an emergency is spot on. People can say how theyd react in a situation, but reality is drastically different. Im very good in emergencies luckily, i wouldnt be in this industry if i werent haha. I appreciate your guys input immensely! Thankyou for the video :)
Yeah I've seen people freak out when it wasn't even them in the situation. Idk where I read it but a percentage of people are more likely to be better in those situations. Sadly I happen to be one. Lol something happens it almost calms me down. Even when my own bones broke It actually brought me down to earth. Weird feeling, it's almost like deja vu to me.
Agreed. During a body alarm reaction, most people will lose critical thinking skills, fine motor skills and will expected tunnel vision and selective hearing. Stress is a hell of a drug.
If I've learned anything, it's never to dive deep without my flippers, a can of oxygen, tremmix, or safety rope. And always try to avoid getting depth intoxication
Shirley, shaw’s dive partner and friend almost died on that dive. He tried to go deeper to help Shaw, but his computer imploded. When he started up, he got an inner ear bend. It was amazing he survived.
Hey Gus and Woody! Indian springs is now owned by a private owner and has changed the name to Sherlock Springs apparently after the owners Jack Russel Terrier its now mainly a venue spot but I heard sometimes he allows a few people to dive it but its prohibited for most. Its certainly worth a try to get into contact with him hopefully he'll allow you guys in. Great video as always
I agree, not from having experienced it or anything. But from swimming up the Weeki Wachee River. Fed by a first magnitude spring, river flowing at 5-7MPH. I can just barely fight it for a mile with a kayak tied to my wrist, if the fins were on two divers I guarantee we couldn't pull it off. It wouldn't be steamline, there'd be too much drag, and there's something to be said about one's willpower and body working in perfect synchrony.
Years ago when I was doing my Open water the instructor had us practice with one fin. He said just in case you ever lose one, you have an idea what it feels like
I got to learn through experience. During the course of my Advanced Open Water dive, I lost my right fin twice. Luckily, I was at the surface both times, which is the best place to lose them if you're going to lose them. By some miracle, someone managed to find and recover them both times.
If I’m understanding Bushman’s hole part correctly: Dave retrieved Deon’s body for his family even after it cost him his life…that’s absolutely heartbreaking. The man kept his word and passed away a true hero.
I think what happened in this video was that someone took a script, or multiple scripps from other people, chucked it into an AI like chatgppt and then asked it to rewrite it for him by adding synonyms. And that might be why we have "ropes" instead of lines, and weird alternatives for narced. And since the person might not be a native English speaker, a diver, or even a human as they can be an AI voice, they have no idea when what they say is mad.
@@MakooWallinen I just assumed it was a non native English speaker translating the script with chat GPT. I use GPT to translate Korean documents but I have definitely noticed it can use some interesting synonyms 😂
I couldn't cave dive, I'm way too claustrophic, but I love your content. It takes me places I can't see for myself. The humor and your commraderie is wonderful.
I just found you guys today after learning of Edd Sorenson and watching a few of your videos featuring him. I'm very thankful I did. It's.. there's something so inspirational about the safety culture you guys promote, I adore it.
I love the honesty in your commentary and how you admit that you can only hope to do the best things possible to help each other. Your videos are refreshing in the era of clickbait. Thank you guys!!!
@@lennysmileyfaceYeeeaah Sooo you believe this documentary is being narrated by 'Artificial Intelligence'? Just curious What is your reasoning for believing so?
My uncle was a S & R diver in Florida. He had many body recoveries from caves. 😔 Two months after my Papa died, he killed himself. I guess, after all the death he had seen and after his Dad's death, he could not cope. I have witnessed a lot of death as a critical care nurse, and I believe it does cause PTSD. My props to all first responders and rescuers!! ❤ 💔
Ahhh, the simple beauty of watching 2 diving experts, listening to the AI talking about emergency situations other experts found them selves in. As I sit here lazing on the backyard deck in the morning sun, sipping coffee, in one of the driest states, reveling in the fact that the deep scary wet will never get me XD.
Wonderfully apropos and necessary. This shouldn't have merited Dive Talk's attention, but they are nothing if not tolerant of other content makers -- Gus's rope/flipper allergy aside -- even if they're recycled AI-efforts.
I've been watching you guys for nearly a year and realised I haven't commented on how much I like your videos. I don't even dive myself - I've always wanted to but can't for health reasons, so I thank both of you for always producing interesting content, and breaking it down for even non-divers. I think both Woody and Gus really complement each other, it's like listening to 2 mates chat! Keep up the great videos guys, much love from Australia
As to who may own the property, I found this online. “Indian Spring is located on private property 13 miles south of Tallahassee near the Bethel Community. The YMCA of Tallahassee, who owns Indian Spring, constructed a summer camp around the pool.”
Unfortunately, it appears from Wakulla County land records that the Y sold to another owner who lost the land in a foreclosure sale to a third owner, who now owns and operates it.
I think if you guys as Dive Talk could do a seperate video about panic and handling panic or anxiety in a structured video it would be great for all people encountering difficult situations. Like the energy you two guys have together and the calmness is insane, you could help people for preparing mentally for challanges of any kind for real. I don't even dive but watch your videos during my attacks and it somehow helps, thanks for that. No idea how often you had real panic, but I have a panic disorder and oh boy if you are not ready its gonna hit you. Can't imagine how it is under water. I mean for me sometimes it helps a bit to know i have to function now when im outside driving down a hill with my bike. To be honest it would be wise to prepare for a situation were it feels like it is over, because even when not diving one day it will 100% help you, it doesnt even have to be real but once your mind is convinced its real you are in for a rough time and its good to prepare for that. Your mind can even create symptoms of a real heart attacks even so you are 28 and have been at the cardiologist and have a VO2 max and body composition. I'm talking from experience, when your subconscious says we are f****, then its good to be trained for this scenario. Having it at a supermarkt for no reason is not fun but it won't kill you, having it in a car accident or in a situation where you need a clear mind it will k*ll at least a certain amount of people only because of the shock.
My original open-water dive instructor, Gerry Comeau, back in the day--ex Navy--would make us do pushups if we said "flipper" or "bootie." 🤣. RIP Gerry you were a badass!!
I found out I just accept my fate and “lay down” if you will😭 got in a horrible solo jet ski accident, broke my arm, leg, knocked the jaw under my nose out, lost a tooth, and just sat there in the water. Didn’t try to flag anyone down or anything. I wish I could know what was going on in my head, but I wasn’t *really* there. I got pulled onto a boat and just asked to call my dad(I’m a grown man)😂 absolutely ZERO survival instincts lmao. Got some fun dreams out of the experience though👍
10:43 this is very true, there’s a way we hope we will react if in a bad situation, but it’s impossible to know for sure. But the advice is lifesaving in my opinion. My father was a diver and dove for a company many eons ago, and he says that the lakes he dove in were pitch black only a few meters down, and sometimes he was so concentrated on installing components more or less blind that he forgot the sense of direction. Sounds pretty scary to me.
These videos have made my fear of deep water worse. Its like no matter how well equipped or experienced you are, there is always something that can or go wrong. Shout out to the bravest adventurers.
Finally got around to reading the bios on the website. I tell you, when I got to Gus’ bio, I cackled. It was so perfect especially after reading Woody’s. Well done. Perfect Easter egg. ❤❤
I remember the video with Mike and don't recall it being terrible! It was interesting to hear him correct Mr. Ballen's version of the story. As far body recovery, I consider it like Mount Everest - just leave me there and don't endanger anyone else's life.
I really like how honest you are when saying how you think you would react. Especially since you acknowledged that even with your experience as a cave diver that you would have to really focus on staying as calm as possible and that you don't know if you would be able to not panic and though I am not a cave diver I know that thought it's hard to stay calm in life and death situations and that no matter how much training you have sometimes you can only hope you will be able to focus and trust the training and stay calm and I personally feel just the fact that you acknowledged that you don't truly know but you hope you would be able to take a second calm down and focus and not panic that at the very least you would be able to keep it so your panic was under control enoght that it would not be harmful
I think the 'depth intoxication' is an area thing. Like different regions call it different things. If you google it the first thing that comes up is nitrogen narcosis
12:18 are rebreathers customized to each diver’s SAC rate? If so, could you just make your rebreather in such a way to where it’s way over-conservative in case you get in a situation where you are breathing heavy? Or is the over-breathing situation mainly due to how fast the air is moving through the sorb?
I would suspect that in the "both fins lost" situation, as long as both divers are uninjured, it would be better to keep both fins on. This allows a greater overall force to be exerted by the main diver to pull both. However, if the main diver is using too much gas, you could trade out so that neither breathes down their tanks too much.
I bought the documentary “Dave not coming Back” on blu ray after seeing a RUclips video on the incident and that is what got me interested in diving. Then I found dive talk! Of course I will never dive but I love learning and find it fascinating.
Oh and for the fin question I would say it would depend on the current but since there was also a line that you could use to pull up as well that one fin each would be better
If I had to share two fins with my dive buddy I'd opt for having one fin each, cross legs and try and use it like a mono-fin. No-Fin cave diving --> inflate BCD and do the Spider-Pig xD Trimix != Trimmix --> Trimmix keeps you in trim, too...
There are SO many inaccuracies in the David Shaw story. Deon's body was tangled in the line so it didn't drift away; Dave drowned because his flashlight got tangled too. The support divers found both bodies under a rock shelf a few days later when they were retrieving the staged tanks. The documentary is worth watching since they have day-of footage of some of the events.
One time I found a cave leading into the mountains of Utah. The ground was perfect, it was Sandy and look like it was well traveled. The only problem is you would have to get on your hands and knees to crawl in. It looked very appealing, but something in my mind told me not to go in there. Now this wasn't even under water. I can't imagine seeing a cave like that underwater and thinking it would be a good idea to go in😂
Just a few minutes in, not a diver. I remember going to Indian Springs when I was a student at Stetson. The water was crystal-clear, mesmerizing in its blue color, and deceptively cold. I had a dollar-store pair of goggles on, and below my feet I saw fuzzy blobs of neon far down below. I knew that divers went down there to explore caves, and didn’t think much of it. But now, 10 years later, I’m starting to understand how sketchy these dives were.
Im not a diver never did it never been in a cave but i really enjoy these videos that u guys do its very interesting and educational! You guys do a good job and you guys make a good team as far as doing to videos
You guys are fantastic. I’ve been a certified OW diver for over 50 yrs and would not try to certify as a cave diver at this point. But I really enjoy your videos and your common sense.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever covered it, but I’d love to hear you guys talk about the Paria pipeline accident. My heart genuinely breaks for those men , and the horrible incompetence of the oil company
I always start the “eye-roll” countdown when Gus watches these videos 😂😂😂. I bet he burns 500 calories per video just watching 😂. Big fan- Keep em coming boys!
I’ve been yelling at my TV screen watching these dramatic recreations without y’all. “No no, that’s not what’s that’s called… noooo it’s not just oxygen… no no no!!” 😂
Good for you, Woody. I'm glad to know y'all are smart about your dives and are not willing to take crazy risks. You know those guys died doing something they loved. Stay safe. (Jane) ❤🙏
Gus: “What would you do if I lost my fins?” Woody [manically rubbing hands together]: “I thought you’d never ask! Potato-sack swimming is going to be the new thing!” On a serious note though, what do divers do while decompressing? I mean, I get you have to do it, so it’s a wait that can’t be avoided, but it just seems so terrifyingly dull to me.
I have never been scuba diving in my life. I've gotten wropes out of wheeles on a simple hooka system, and I freedive for lobster rarely more than 15' . BUT!!!!!! I have tought hundreds of people to snorkel! It's so easy to panic and/ or breathe heavy while thrashing about. The lesson is simple , don't swim at first, just float on your face and breathe like Darth Vader. Always remember to breathe like Darth Vader and just go with the flow. That being said I do not know I this translates to Scuba, but I have had people who snorkel dozens of times before tell me this one trick changed their experience. They were observing calmly vs rapid breathing and fighting currents. So always remember folks, breathe like Darth Vader, sound effects and all 😅
On the edge of my seat with this one, my heart in my mouth.... Tragic, tragic deaths. But as you guys say, this is next level diving; way beyond doing a pleasure dive in a previously mapped cave with ready laid 'rope'(!)
Hey guys it’s me Daevian, I think you guys should tell stories about some of your scariest moments and when you first started. Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
I’m in commercial diving school and they’re adamant about safety. It’s a huge change from how commercial diving used to be. Their number one priority now is diver safety.
Dr. Richard Harris is a cool guy. As a doctor and technical diver, he helped the soccer team escape the flooded cave in the Philippines, not to mention his record setting dives into Pearse Resurgence
I miss free diving in fla, I swear it lowered my BP and I feel more comfortable in the water than on dry land. Just to let you guys know if you ever need a guinea pig to go check out unexplored passages or carry your rebreathers I’m all for it! I’m just not cave certified, or open water certified and I’ve never dove before 😂 but I’m just crazy enough to be one of those recovery divers. You guys got any sponsorship programs? “Will work for certificates!” Oh and I come prequalified, 1 I know what fins are 2 I know how to pronounce trimix 3 I can sell anything including rebreathers 😉 When do I start!? 😁
30 years diving, the last 20 years on CCR. I was in a life threatening situation, my children's faces came into my mind, realising I was about to become a statistic, I apologised to them and accepted my fate. A complete calm came over me. With my mind at peace I realised a way out of the trouble, reaching the surface on my last breathe of air, I survived.
4 man team minimum: 1 boat man/medic, 1 midpoint rescue guy who stays with the spare tanks for a 2 member team. Radios and timers for everyone with point of no return agreed upon so rescue can be called.
16:50 someone correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the reason you'd convulse because the extra oxygen would very suddenly make the pH of your blood unusually alkaline, totally overwhelming the blood bicarbonate buffer?
One of the things I’ve done to stop myself from panicking is to yell at myself internally and tell myself, “No! Calm down!” It’s helped me a lot in and out of the Army. The natural rxn is panic, but if you can be your own inner drill SGT, you will have a shot.
I’m chuckling at the pronunciation of TRImix myself Gus 😂😂 and I’m not a cave diver at all, but I’ve been fortunate enough to be educated about it through you guys and the top notch divers you’re both affiliated with ❣️ Trimmix - the new diet drink 😂😂
I remember diving and freaking out at the bottom. All I knew was that I’d die if I panicked so it took all my concentration to find my instructor to take me up. It’s the worst feeling I can remember till this day

My father was a diver and dove for a company many eons ago, and he says that the lakes he dove in were pitch black only a few meters down, and sometimes he was so concentrated on installing components more or less blind that he forgot the sense of direction. Sounds pretty scary to me.
I've watched your Bushman Hole reaction before, but I dont remember the bodies surfacing before the team left.
These videos have made my fear of deep water worse. Its like no matter how well equipped or experienced you are, there is always something that can or go wrong. Shout out to the bravest adventurers.
Finally got around to reading the bios on the website. I tell you, when I got to Gus’ bio, I cackled. It was so perfect especially after reading Woody’s. Well done. Perfect Easter egg. ❤❤
I remember the video with Mike and don't recall it being terrible! It was interesting to hear him correct Mr. Ballen's version of the story. As far body recovery, I consider it like Mount Everest - just leave me there and don't endanger anyone else's life.
I really like how honest you are when saying how you think you would react. Especially since you acknowledged that even with your experience as a cave diver that you would have to really focus on staying as calm as possible and that you don't know if you would be able to not panic and though I am not a cave diver I know that thought it's hard to stay calm in life and death situations and that no matter how much training you have sometimes you can only hope you will be able to focus and trust the training and stay calm and I personally feel just the fact that you acknowledged that you don't truly know but you hope you would be able to take a second calm down and focus and not panic that at the very least you would be able to keep it so your panic was under control enoght that it would not be harmful
I think the 'depth intoxication' is an area thing. Like different regions call it different things. If you google it the first thing that comes up is nitrogen narcosis
Yes, sounds like a word for word translation of the swedish word for nitrogen narcosis.
12:18 are rebreathers customized to each diver’s SAC rate? If so, could you just make your rebreather in such a way to where it’s way over-conservative in case you get in a situation where you are breathing heavy? Or is the over-breathing situation mainly due to how fast the air is moving through the sorb?
TREMMIX??? Sounds like a dog food brand!?!? Gus' face when the narrator kept saying it! Sent me 😂
I would suspect that in the "both fins lost" situation, as long as both divers are uninjured, it would be better to keep both fins on. This allows a greater overall force to be exerted by the main diver to pull both. However, if the main diver is using too much gas, you could trade out so that neither breathes down their tanks too much.
4:45 - One more mention of "Trim-ix" Gus is gonna blow an O-ring! 😂
I know I'm over here on the floor dyingggggggggg😂😂😂😂
I bought the documentary “Dave not coming Back” on blu ray after seeing a RUclips video on the incident and that is what got me interested in diving. Then I found dive talk! Of course I will never dive but I love learning and find it fascinating.
Yoo I randomly came arossed y’all’s video from years ago with the dudes diving at Chernobyl. Dope to see yall are still going strong
4:24 I had to pause the video to cackle at that sigh 😂
Oh and for the fin question I would say it would depend on the current but since there was also a line that you could use to pull up as well that one fin each would be better
If I had to share two fins with my dive buddy I'd opt for having one fin each, cross legs and try and use it like a mono-fin.
No-Fin cave diving --> inflate BCD and do the Spider-Pig xD
Trimix != Trimmix --> Trimmix keeps you in trim, too...
No matter what method I imagine, the visuals are amazing LOL
One of my favorite channels, love seeing your uploads!
There are SO many inaccuracies in the David Shaw story. Deon's body was tangled in the line so it didn't drift away; Dave drowned because his flashlight got tangled too. The support divers found both bodies under a rock shelf a few days later when they were retrieving the staged tanks. The documentary is worth watching since they have day-of footage of some of the events.
Imagining Gus and Woody pulling a “Blades of Glory” move if one loses their fins 😂
One time I found a cave leading into the mountains of Utah. The ground was perfect, it was Sandy and look like it was well traveled. The only problem is you would have to get on your hands and knees to crawl in. It looked very appealing, but something in my mind told me not to go in there. Now this wasn't even under water. I can't imagine seeing a cave like that underwater and thinking it would be a good idea to go in😂
I just read Gus's bio. Fascinating! Such detail! Thanks for sharing! (I'm a non-diver, but I love you guys!) 😂
Sucks that rob in the second story basically passed out, and then completely recovered but still didn't make it at the end.
With regards to what you'd do if one person loses their fins, i heard you could inflate the BCD and spiderman-climb the ceiling to safety..
Oh yeah…I heard that on the Joe Rogan Experience
I like Woody’s idea.. I think one “flipper” 😂 each but lucky that had “trim-ix” that probably gives the experienced diver extra propulsion 😂😂😂
Just a few minutes in, not a diver. I remember going to Indian Springs when I was a student at Stetson. The water was crystal-clear, mesmerizing in its blue color, and deceptively cold. I had a dollar-store pair of goggles on, and below my feet I saw fuzzy blobs of neon far down below.
I knew that divers went down there to explore caves, and didn’t think much of it. But now, 10 years later, I’m starting to understand how sketchy these dives were.
Im not a diver never did it never been in a cave but i really enjoy these videos that u guys do its very interesting and educational! You guys do a good job and you guys make a good team as far as doing to videos
Hi from Austria - carinthia, LOVE your Content guys 🫶 thank you got your Input and expertise 😽🫶
I totally remember Mike Young telling you guys this story, I was gripped - incredible! I didn't even notice the audio. Linds 👍
"He’s a Cave Diver."
Dave Not Coming Back is a really sad story but I can watch it over and over!
You guys are fantastic. I’ve been a certified OW diver for over 50 yrs and would not try to certify as a cave diver at this point. But I really enjoy your videos and your common sense.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever covered it, but I’d love to hear you guys talk about the Paria pipeline accident. My heart genuinely breaks for those men , and the horrible incompetence of the oil company
I always start the “eye-roll” countdown when Gus watches these videos 😂😂😂. I bet he burns 500 calories per video just watching 😂. Big fan- Keep em coming boys!
Wish it was 1,000!
@@DIVETALK ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on the new site! Much love ya'll
I’ve been yelling at my TV screen watching these dramatic recreations without y’all. “No no, that’s not what’s that’s called… noooo it’s not just oxygen… no no no!!” 😂
love the longer form videos
You know what you guys need to try next! Potato sack race under water with fins!
Good for you, Woody. I'm glad to know y'all are smart about your dives and are not willing to take crazy risks. You know those guys died doing something they loved. Stay safe. (Jane) ❤🙏
Gus: “What would you do if I lost my fins?”
Woody [manically rubbing hands together]: “I thought you’d never ask! Potato-sack swimming is going to be the new thing!”
On a serious note though, what do divers do while decompressing? I mean, I get you have to do it, so it’s a wait that can’t be avoided, but it just seems so terrifyingly dull to me.
Check their emails.
Not die.
I have never been scuba diving in my life.
I've gotten wropes out of wheeles on a simple hooka system, and I freedive for lobster rarely more than 15' .
BUT!!!!!! I have tought hundreds of people to snorkel! It's so easy to panic and/ or breathe heavy while thrashing about.
The lesson is simple , don't swim at first, just float on your face and breathe like Darth Vader. Always remember to breathe like Darth Vader and just go with the flow.
That being said I do not know I this translates to Scuba, but I have had people who snorkel dozens of times before tell me this one trick changed their experience. They were observing calmly vs rapid breathing and fighting currents.
So always remember folks, breathe like Darth Vader, sound effects and all 😅
😂😂😂 another Chat GPT documentary. Love the depth intoxication and tehmex 😂
On the edge of my seat with this one, my heart in my mouth.... Tragic, tragic deaths. But as you guys say, this is next level diving; way beyond doing a pleasure dive in a previously mapped cave with ready laid 'rope'(!)
Underwater swimming ❤ opposed to abovewater swimming.?... gotta ❤love a.i. written scripts
You don't air swim?
@@fuzzyboots123 If you get a wingsuit and parachute you can! Gotta have the proper equipment for air diving, after all :)
Hey guys it’s me Daevian, I think you guys should tell stories about some of your scariest moments and when you first started. Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
I’m in commercial diving school and they’re adamant about safety. It’s a huge change from how commercial diving used to be. Their number one priority now is diver safety.
Dr. Richard Harris is a cool guy. As a doctor and technical diver, he helped the soccer team escape the flooded cave in the Philippines, not to mention his record setting dives into Pearse Resurgence
I miss free diving in fla, I swear it lowered my BP and I feel more comfortable in the water than on dry land. Just to let you guys know if you ever need a guinea pig to go check out unexplored passages or carry your rebreathers I’m all for it! I’m just not cave certified, or open water certified and I’ve never dove before 😂 but I’m just crazy enough to be one of those recovery divers. You guys got any sponsorship programs? “Will work for certificates!”
Oh and I come prequalified,
1 I know what fins are
2 I know how to pronounce trimix
3 I can sell anything including rebreathers 😉
When do I start!? 😁
30 years diving, the last 20 years on CCR. I was in a life threatening situation, my children's faces came into my mind, realising I was about to become a statistic, I apologised to them and accepted my fate. A complete calm came over me. With my mind at peace I realised a way out of the trouble, reaching the surface on my last breathe of air, I survived.
4 man team minimum: 1 boat man/medic, 1 midpoint rescue guy who stays with the spare tanks for a 2 member team. Radios and timers for everyone with point of no return agreed upon so rescue can be called.
Gus holding back laughing the second time he said trimix
16:50 someone correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the reason you'd convulse because the extra oxygen would very suddenly make the pH of your blood unusually alkaline, totally overwhelming the blood bicarbonate buffer?
One of the things I’ve done to stop myself from panicking is to yell at myself internally and tell myself, “No! Calm down!” It’s helped me a lot in and out of the Army. The natural rxn is panic, but if you can be your own inner drill SGT, you will have a shot.
I’m chuckling at the pronunciation of TRImix myself Gus 😂😂 and I’m not a cave diver at all, but I’ve been fortunate enough to be educated about it through you guys and the top notch divers you’re both affiliated with ❣️
Trimmix - the new diet drink 😂😂
Please test this where we can do in person reviews during the bonaire trip 😂
Did you guys ever end up trying the two fins configurations. Where you each get one or one keeps two and pulls??
13:29 from everything I’ve watched Edd is the best. Thank god he’s still with us but that man has some amazing stories
I remember diving and freaking out at the bottom. All I knew was that I’d die if I panicked so it took all my concentration to find my instructor to take me up. It’s the worst feeling I can remember till this day
Always a good day when dive talk posts
😅 Gus “80.” 😂😂😂 less than 10 minutes into the video I’m already cracking up!
