Big thanks to Tiffany for reminding me to cover Jacob's Well. It's been on the list for a while. Have a great week everyone!
-
Saying 'you can't stop us' from voluntarily swimming into the underwater death cave is the most Texas thing I've heard.
-
I thought cave diving was bad enough, but diving through holes so small you have to take off your tanks? Jeez, that’s just a whole new level of crazy.
-
The fact that Don survived everything he went through is a miracle. The fact that divers still wanted to go through with that after everything, is stupid as hell.
-
Knowing that a search and rescue expert, following protocols, with backup divers assisting him, almost died simply by poking his head through the opening to check for bodies with 10 minutes of air, it makes what the two guys that went missing did that much more insane.
-
You couldn't pay me enough money to ever go cave-diving. Baffling that so many people do it voluntarily.
-
When I'm on my death bed thinking about my life I'll say "At least I did one thing right..I never went cave diving."
-
Cave diving has the worst reward to danger ratio of any activity on earth. Imagine risking your life to see a dark underwater room with nothing in it.
-
I feel worse for Joe in the first story than I do for Mark or Kent. It has to be such an awful feeling not being able to get your friend's attention and watching them do something stupid and reckless and then turn around knowing they aren't coming back.
-
Props for pioneering the genre of anti-tourism videos
-
the idea of another “large chamber” being the best thing you could find at the end is the most insane reward ever.
-
Ed Sorenson is the most incredible Cave diver in the world to me. The man has rescued and retrieved more cave divers in conditions that panic even the most skilled divers. He's who they call when other rescue divers will go no further. Definitely a super human and a real American hero.
-
This episode was so good but SO frustrating. People just keep making the same mistakes, thinking nothing bad will happen to them. Kudos on your visual narration because I could picture everything while just listening as I moved around the house.
-
My dad is a professional wreck diver and when HE tells me that cave diving isnt worth the insane risk; i believe him!
-
I did my scuba training at the San Marcos dive shop in Texas, the closest dive shop to Jacob’s Well and the home base/rental spot for many dives there. In the training classroom there was a display case full of equipment recovered from dead divers and plaques with their names. Really made me take the safety power points seriously
-
Being a diver myself, I really can't see myself going into a cave that has any part narrower than at least the size of a car. It's just so easy to get stuck in squeezes doing regular spelunking, but doing those with a respirator your mouth and a tank in you hand just seems insane
-
Joe's dive companions wordlessly deciding, in tandem, to remove their tanks and go through the squeeze really reminded me of the Enigma of Amigara Fault. I know people bring up that short story all the time and I try not to compare real-life disasters with horror fiction because I do find it tasteless, but it's probably such an effective horror story Because it taps into whatever impulse was working in these divers.
-
I just got my first diving cert, and they really drill into you the importance of having a dive plan. The fact that guy in the first story just yeeted into that small opening is just unbelievable.
-
When he showed the map of the third and fourth chamber my first thought was "fuck everything about that"
-
I’m not a diver, but I can imagine the temptation to discover the secrets of these chambers. It seems that the beauty and mystery are what make this such a death trap.
