    I live near an active volcano, and this reminds me of a sign near one of the sulfur-filled craters, which when translated bluntly says :
    "DEATH guaranteed after this point"
    "All who have walked past this sign have died, no exception"
    "Their body have never been recovered"
    "All professional rescue team who tried to recover their bodies have died. See point above"
    While many incidents have taken place, the sign was put up after a teen tried to take a selfie near the place and slipped into the crater. Rescue teams (with proper equipment) were sent to recover whatever was left of him, none of them came back.
    I thought that was the most "why don't you stick around and find out" sign ever made.

But then you kick up the silt with your improper technique and suddenly you can't see the way out anymore. Yikes.

      @nyde7705 Před 2 lety +49

      That’s what I thought too but it turns out that those sounds are the divers equalizing the pressure in their ears by plugging their nose and breathing out. Your ear drums get pressurized the farther you go under water and It gets uncomfortable so that’s how you get rid of it.

      @ctrlaltdelete200390 Před 2 lety +50

      Do you mean the ones from the second half of the video? They're contractions of the diaphragm. Freedivers train themselves to relax through them. They're the body urging the diaphragm to breathe because of the CO2 rising in the body. Although freedivers relax and push through them, they also use them as a sign that they need to start thinking of going back. Perhaps they can only do 1/3rd of the time more left, although YMMV. Remember CO2 build up is not the same as O2 decline, but seeing the body has no warning mechanism for that, they use CO2 warnings instead as a guide

      When I was on the swim team in high school I would do that when I was feeling the need to breathe. I found that it temporarily reduces the feeling of needing to breathe. I was actually surprised to see him doing that, as I thought I made up this little placebo effect thing that helped me during drills where we swam entire lengths of the pool on one breath.
      I found that it has diminishing returns though, and starting it as late as possible, but not too late where the relief doesn't make much difference anymore is best. I also found that letting out your breath in a slow controlled manner over time helps.

      If your light goes out when you're deep in the cave it's easy to get disoriented and turned around, Also in underwater caves like that there are often something called "False domes" which are dead end pockets of pitch black and if you go up into one its very hard to find your way out sometimes. As for your rope idea it's not that easy; Caves twist and turn and it's not a smooth wall surface so ropes and things can and would get caught and would be more of a danger than a help. That's why they say it's best do to that stuff when you've had the time and training under your belt. (Edit: Also forgot to mention that often if you bump or brush the walls and/or floors it releases a dust cloud severely hampering your vision with or without a flashlight; which is why it's advised to avoid contact with the floors and walls as much as possible. Which is another reason a rope wouldn't be a good idea it would be kicking up too much dirt)

      But what I said above is based on my experience, I’m not a diver, so maybe there’s matter of training too.
      Under water, I can hold my breath up to a max of 2 minutes and 50 seconds without moving, after hyperventilating. But when I hold my breath while moving I could maybe hold up to 30 seconds, which is a huge difference.
      Diving reflex may help to maintain more oxygen in our body, but I think the amount of oxygen used to move our muscles are more consuming than the amount preserved by the reflex.

      @gasdive Před 2 lety +6

      This cave is marked in the US style. There's a mainline, called the Gold Line. It's a thick yellow string that runs from near the entrance to the Hinkle Restriction which is about 3000 feet in, if memory serves. Arrows on the line point to the way out. Side passages and passage beyond the Hinkle are marked with thinner white line. They're not joined to the main line but come close. The gap can be bridged (jumped) with a small bit of line the diver brings on a reel called a jump reel. In this particular cave the flow clears silt along the main line, so most people don't bother with jump reels. I never did in about 200 hours diving here. There probably isn't anything worth dying to see, but it was worth doing the training to see it safely.

      Basically every cave in Florida has them at the point where surface light is no longer visible. As long as you can still see the light you can find your way out.

      Even with proper precautions and training, cave diving is a massive risk. The sign says that even instructors have found dead inside caves. For why not closing caves up? Main reason due to research, ecology, currents, and the risk from the workers to actually the cave down.

Cave diving is not a massive risk if you're trained and certified as a cave diver. Most deaths in caves are from people who are not trained and certified cave divers or people who broke one of the cave diving rules.
