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.
Christ, I didn't understand it until I saw this video. If that sign weren't there, you could easily think that you could go a little deeper because you look back and you see the blue light. But then you kick up the silt with your improper technique and suddenly you can't see the way out anymore. Yikes.
Hi, I would just like to spread the truth to you: John 3:16, 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life Also, Plz don’t use the Lords name in vain,
its probably only a reflex though to this dude and nothing dangerous but ive actually been in situations where I got stuck underwater and once these gasps start to occur you know youre in trouble
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.
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.
I have also gone down to the eye, it's cold and you can feel the rush of water from the source! There is another spring just down the river and if you dive there it's like an underwater wonderland..

So, you dove into a cave. There there was a sign that told you to STOP and turn around. And you stopped and turned around. _Thank you_ for posting this!
An important thing on these signs that everyone seems to forget is that "There is nothing in this cave worth dying for" applies regardless of how "certified" you are to enter. It's literally just not worth it by default, but "daredevils" just have to tempt fate for what are ultimately superficial reasons. I have trouble sympathizing with them when they die.
Oh shit that's ginnie springs! I thought it looked familiar. I've done that too before. That sign is no joke, never go past it. The springs themselves are probably the most beautiful springs you'll see... at least when they're not full of college kids from nearby UF, and camping families. I'm surprised it's so empty in this video
Twists, turns, rocky outcroppings, multiple side tunnels, strong current, darkness, and very cold water. And as someone else said, silt, touch the floor and silt will fill the water and block your view of all reference points. These hazards, and probably a few more can be found past the sign. The big one, of course, getting lost.
The water is so clear that I didn't actually realize this was a diving video when I clicked on it. The thumbnail just looks like some dude in a park at night with a flashlight.
I actually live near here and have seen this cave and never knew there was a sign down there, I always heard stories of people dying in the caves via collapse or getting lost. I’m glad that sign is there it most likely has saved many lives.
As someone who was rescued from drowning (lungs stopped functioning) I could probably never do this. The diving is one thing but seeing the sign in person would give me anxiety
@@adamwolfe2848 we all understand what the point of the sign is. What the original commenter is referring to is that some people may see it as a challenge to tempt fate. The phenomenon is what's known as "the call of the void" and it is a VERY real phenomenon. Most people have experienced it at least once in their lives.
You know that the caves are so dangerous and uninhabitable that you can't see a single aquatic animal in this video; so I don't think being a fish would help

Can someone explain why this is so dangerous? I genuinely do not see why, if given the proper equipment and say tying a rope so you can find your way back this could be deadly?
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)
@@MALAY_TENGU Yes depending on the cave and depth people use a mix of different gases to allow them to not get "Nitrogen Narcosis" If the diver doesn't have the correct mixes of gasses in their tank they will get said condition and it will be like getting severely drunk while underwater in a cave and I'm sure you can imagine why that's not a good thing.
Disorientation, kicking up silt and losing sight of the entrance, poisoning from the wrong gas to oxygen ratio depending on depth, strong currents, the loch ness monster, lots of rock to cut your rope, it's literally a deathrap untrained, even trained its a risk, and your on a time limit
It is easy to hold your breath for one and a half minute, but it's really difficult to hold that much with under water pressure. Now imagine holding your breath for that much under water AND while moving.
@@gb2755 Damn, this is interesting... 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.
i literally held my breathe with him without realizing i was doing so until i couldn't any longer, & he was just coming outta the cave crevasse lol. I would have died for sure.
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.
What if you go inside there with a rope atacched to the exit? Couldn't somebody do something like that to leave marks all around the explored cave leading to the exit? That would be just and extra safety measures if anybody goes beyond the sign anyways.
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. Probably OK to freedive past it because you remember the way you came in and feel the flow but it's hard to hold your breath in a cave.
I wonder what drives people to go underwater cave diving. I can understand being an adrenaline junkie, but this is just the stuff of nightmares. Nothing beautiful to see, just darkness and the fear of impending doom.
this may be dumb to ask and i apologize in advance .. i don’t know anything about scuba or being in deep deep underwater for i am terrified of the ocean, however if you have a scuba gear would you still die going in there? also, what’s dangerous about the area and if it is indeed that dangerous with a warning sign why not just close it off?
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.
@@andmos1001 not quite accurate. It says that over 300 divers, even OPEN WATER instructors have died in caves like this one. 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. (Rule of thirds, always stay on the line, not bringing at least 3 lights, not bringing the correct gas mixture, not following the dive plan)
Dude almost passed out while free diving, not only was that stupid, for a video, but dangerous. You could hear him rejecting his lungs wanting to inhale like 9 times.

Look how clear that water is. It looks like a very pretty place.
I can feel my instinct screaming : OH HELLL NOOOO.
oh my
I like how all the bodies around the Grim Reaper are wearing their scuba gear...
lol this guy sound like my character dying underwater when run out of air 0:55
My wife told me stories of her and her friends seeing who could touch that sign as teens.
That sign will be the last thing left of humanity and the octopus people will look at it like a joke
i literally held my breathe with him without realizing i was doing so until i couldn't any longer, & he was just coming outta the cave crevasse lol. I would have died for sure.
Towards the end of the video it sounds like a video game where you’re losing health as you lose your breath
Why do I feel like something is gonna pop out when you aim your light at the darkness
this is one of the most frequently dived cave systems in the world. these signs are there to deter casuals
This reminds me of the signs in Yosemite park near the raging rivers that say "If you fall in...YOU WILL DIE".
Shout out to yall that film the curiosities i will never venture to myself
Do divers bring hooks and rope, or place markers for exploration?
yes they do but some caves aint worth mapping because of strong currents
You can see the guideline going deeper into the cave.
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.
"Freedive to Beware of Death Sign" As you can hear him starting to lose his breath
I went in and died.
The sign is true i died there once
I died typing this sente

So you respawn? Good to know.
@@Stephan5916 No, you can still using the chat while on spectator mode
I’ve heard a lot of tales about this cave and that sign, most of them seemed to have exaggerated the distance between the surface and the actual sign.
F all that. I will continue staying above water. Driving my tractor around faster than normal every once in a while is all the thrill I need.
Hey I did that dive a few months ago! It was awesome! All the tannins in the water made it look like a rainbow
Damn that's one hell of a torch
What if you go inside there with a rope atacched to the exit? Couldn't somebody do something like that to leave marks all around the explored cave leading to the exit?
That would be just and extra safety measures if anybody goes beyond the sign anyways.
They don't want to damage the cave walls so yeah... and having a rope for it is one of the rules of cavediving.
haha, jokes on you, I put those signs everywhere
When you got to the surface I went "wait a sec......wait thats Ginnie Springs" I've been there
Chill guys he just reached the end of the map and there's an invisible wall where that sign is, he couldn't go further if he tried.
I saw something staring back in the shadows
Freaky how the sign is so close to the surface.
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. Probably OK to freedive past it because you remember the way you came in and feel the flow but it's hard to hold your breath in a cave.
seen the same sign at Rock Springs. gators used to like going to and out the spring mouth from what i heard
Wow he listened and lived that’s well
done.
People that play Minecraft don’t need those signs, we know first hand
At least Minecraft caves have diamonds
That’s so fucking cool I was there and I didn’t dare swim to the eye but it’s cool to see how it looks like a little inside
Idk why I suddenly watching those tyoe of videos. I am high af and I feel out of breath just looking at it.
Not sure if anyone noticed, but someone was diving that cave. On his exit you can see their line tied to a rock.
It's not the main one?
@@NaraOfCambodia no, the main line is in the cave, a divers line goes out to open water to the main line
Kinda want to send an underwater drone past that sign to see what lies past it
Have fun uploading that to liveleak 😂
I wonder what drives people to go underwater cave diving. I can understand being an adrenaline junkie, but this is just the stuff of nightmares. Nothing beautiful to see, just darkness and the fear of impending doom.
Seeing the things many don't get to
Used to swim across the santa fe river from the columbia county side as a child to visit ginnie springs, and blue, from rum island
I almost forgot to breathe watching this lmao
He starts making cute little animal noises
cute little "gonna drown soon" noises?
Have you ever felt even the blood rushing to your brain diving shallow water?
This comment had me gigglin oml
@@nocturne2029 fullmetal alchemist
Wtf? Imagine putting those signs up though, did they mix and pour concrete underwater?
My guess is that it was already built in land they just carried it underwater and put it there.
concrete drys underwater

this may be dumb to ask and i apologize in advance .. i don’t know anything about scuba or being in deep deep underwater for i am terrified of the ocean, however if you have a scuba gear would you still die going in there? also, what’s dangerous about the area and if it is indeed that dangerous with a warning sign why not just close it off?
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.
@@andmos1001 not quite accurate. It says that over 300 divers, even OPEN WATER instructors have died in caves like this one. 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. (Rule of thirds, always stay on the line, not bringing at least 3 lights, not bringing the correct gas mixture, not following the dive plan)
Wow that place looks cool!!
frog noises = time to surface!
Dude almost passed out while free diving, not only was that stupid, for a video, but dangerous. You could hear him rejecting his lungs wanting to inhale like 9 times.
I would love for a small drone to go down there and take a video beyond that sign.
I think there are videos of actual cave divers going in with the right training and equipment
@@chrissyre89 Yes cave certified people dive this place every day and there are tons of videos here on youtube.
Holy, those are some lungs
Smart man. SMART MAN 👏👏👏👏
Another instance where the camera man doesn't die
The mhfs at the end, i can just feel them
Ur last thought: ::dam I knew I shouldn't go
So I did a bong hit (Gorilla Zkittlz) and then held my breath as long as this Boss did. They found me in the street with my pants around my head.
0:10 It sounds like he’s breathing. Maybe one breath but I don’t know.
I don’t care if you’ve been diving your entire life. That signs enough. I’m curious as to how many bodies possibly are down there
I’d go check it out. You’d probably find hella bodies down there
Diving looks cool, despite the high likelihood of death.
You’re crazy man.
