11:46 the is somting in the top left cornor i think its the blue man group upside down
Great job!!!
Damn man good eye!
sheeeeesh
JeezâŠ..
I saw it too, I just couldn't tell what it was :/
Phone screen to small ahhh
âThey did not have permission to go to stage 3â
I bet they went to stage 3.
You know me well
@@MrBallen haha we all do, we binge watch all of your vids
You know thatâs how they do
Hahaha, that's how all of these deadly stories without common sense are beginning...
đ€Łđđ€Ł
@@MrBallen how could we not, the flannel really sticks out
The cave diving stories are the best even though theyâre always tragic. Who else is never going cave diving?
Oh H@LL no!
I agree the claustrophobia I can feel it as he tells the story
đ me! I'm never!
I am going next weekend đđđđ
I wonât lie I have actually been, that is until I ever heard about these horror stories
Now I canât even think about some of the dives I myself have done đ weird right
The Shaft is on our family property, it was our great grandfather that found this hole when he was ploughing the paddock with his horse, not taking them to get water. The horses hoof went through and found the hole. The rock pile was also put in there when he attempted to fill in the hole not realising how big it actually was đ
Do you get people just rocking up on your property, wanting to explore the cave or do you have any measures set up, so it's not that easy to get into ?
how often do people dive down the hole?
This hole would fascinate me to obsession and absolutely give me nightmares. I love that your gg grandfather created the rock pile. I think I would keep adding to it.
I got no reason to believe you
But I do
@@darwaniangovernment SAME lol
The fact that they found the two divers hugging each other is so sad that it made me want to cry and also the fact that the brother leapt back in for his siblings and friends knowing he might not find them and could get trapped too broke my heart.
Ikr? Actually made me cry
No Cave diving disaster has hit me anywhere near as hard as those two dying in each others embrace.. It is simply heart wrenching.
@@berrodude im just happy they found some comfort in their last moments, even if they were filled with dread they felt eachother
is the hole still there??
I am trying to imagine the kind of arrogant thoughts they had when they decided to break the rules and enter that section. Being experienced divers they must've known the danger, but the Dunning Kruger effect, especially in a group setting, must have triumped. When I think about this, I really don't feel sorry for them at all! You paid for your hubris, and you should.
"Stage 2 is where it starts to get a bit dicey." Uh . . . for me, standing within 5 feet of the hole is where it starts to get dicey.
20 ft of the hole for me. Im not a risk taker.
Not going anywhere near that thing!! I can only watch these videos in daytime đ
@@seriouscat2231 đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł. I've been there. My mom was a panicker too.
@@seriouscat2231 Just gotta try and live your life man. Don't try and cave dive as some rebellion thing and you'll be fine.

Can't imagine having to turn around, knowing siblings are going to die. That really sucks.

I have difficulty surviving outside of caves. Iâm not pushing my luck so Iâm a definite no.

Oh my goodness Lisa! That is too funny.. đ
A lot of these stories are filled with people desperate to prove Darwin right it seems
@@itnotmeitu3896 He's already been proved right numerous times.
Same đ
The suicidal arrogance, stupidity, whatever you want to call it, that leads to these deaths is just crazy. The phrase, "stay in your lane," has accrued a patina of cynicism over the years, but in life-and-death diving is it literally the dividing line between life and death.
Seriously! Cave diving with arrogance is wild to me, the fact that they all bailed on the one guy who had some sense is also so shitty
@@viceb7 I know!
@@viceb7
In my opinion, cave diving in water is simply stupid. I think all of these people that take such foolish risk for so little in return secretly have a Deathwish. However, they want their death to be sensational.
One of the most frightening ways to go, drowning in the darkness. An actual nightmare.
Yeah not fun
Absolutely not fun đ
Why are you always here
@@MrBallen keep up the great content. And i concure drowning in darkness is towards the top of my list.
@KrispyKrackers88 I know
the number of times i have drowned getting lost in underwater caves in games has been a pretty clear indicator for me that i should never go in real life.
that mario last gasp before drowning was nintendo's most effective cautionary tale.
Subnautica awakened the fear in me. Those caves get so disorientating. Then your oxygen is running out and It's been ages since you last saved, frantically trying to remember which way is out, swimming into multiple dead ends and loops. Should have worked on getting the little lights that mark a path. I saved a lot more often after I lost over an hour of progress.
You got me in the first half not gonna lie hahaha
I always run into a magma chamber and lose my diamond pickaxe.
Art imitates life bro
There is a small hold⊠that has claimed the lives of at least 16 peopleâ
âIâm about to tell you what is in that holeâ
â16 peopleâ
The fact the Glenn was unaware of the groupâs plan to go further down then they were allowed shows, in my opinion, that if he knew then he would have put a stop to it.
He seemed to be the most sensible of the group.
Something about John slowly swimming to his doom while Larry could only watch is really depressing
I think looking up and being mere inches away from your friends and knowing you cant do anything to help them is more depressing
@@sadderday6316 No, the guy swimming away was feet, I was referring to onces trapped in the ceiling literally inches away.
I agree it's depressing, but none of them were cave dive certified, because they should've put out a line to follow to prevent them from getting lost and disoriented. That's one of the first things you do in a technical dive.
@@brianlanders5306 I think we all agree they were dumb, but that isnt the point
@@zackshere8854 : That's exactly the point. They weren't trained.
The idea of seeing another diver swimming off into the darkness of a cave, knowing 100% they are gonna die and you can't help them is sickening
I would probably go insane right there like they couldn't have felt more helpless
@@christypoe4538 Its gotta be a really eerie to watch another diver swimming away from you and you know they are died before they do... That would really mess with me...
@@bitcoinbull6564 exactly & it's my baby brother & sister. I have a lil brother & sister also & I just couldn't I'd mentally b done đ
@@christypoe4538 Completely agree, its terrible!
@@christypoe4538 dude ide of lost it if I survived and my brother didnât. Especially if I might of saw him swim the wrong way. The two embracing is fucking heart breaking too.

@@DiamondCake2 what is wrong with you!?
just found this channel via google and reddit cause i was searching for another tragic event and i randomly got a suggestion for ur subreddit . just wanted to say that youre such an enticing and great storyteller and i love how much respect you have for victims ! will be supporting and watching daily from this point on
Heâs so so good at what he does, definitely one of my favourite channels on all of CZcams!
This channel has taught me many life lessons. For example: NEVER GO CAVE DIVING.
For real man! And donât go to places that no person should go to. đ
FACT!!! đđđ
Ive been a few times... I find it less stressful than open ocean diving
I hear đ that!!
For real
Anxiety level of this story is a strong 10.
Maaaaan!!!!!
bruh my chest is beating rn im 10 min in im never scuba diving lol
â@@Hash710x That's sad. Scuba diving is awesome and very safe, if you don't push your limits and only go as far as you're certified. There are special courses for everything. These young people didn't had a cave diving course but went cave diving anyway.
Go watch the video of the dude who died on the Nutty Putty tunnel, or watch people spelunking the Birth Canal I guarantee you will have 15 or 16 in the scale of Anxiety.
@@raptorduck8785 do you have a link?
I can only imagine the moment regret set in for those divers who risked it all at the expense of losing their lives.
What tragedy for Glen to witness first hand his siblings not coming home with him & even worst to explain to his parents
I barely outrun a flash flood in an underground drain no taller than me. In that moment i truly regretted every single life decision that led me to that point, felt so much despair knowing I could not get a final message to friends and family. A total dread filled clarity.
The man who discovered the hole was extremely lucky, if he himself had fallen in there, I doubt he would've been ever found
ive heard about this stuff happening in hawaii
Somethings are not meant to be found, yet they are... & they have bad endings. Crazy .... Like does everything happen for a reason? Lol
Yeah, I thought his story was going to go south when he decided to go back end start exploring the depth of it.
I was thinking the same thing. I assumed he would be the first casualty of the hole.
There's got to be at least a few people who have vanished off the face of the earth who just fell into an unknown cave.
I knew Christine, Stephen and Glenn. Stephen was my dive instructor at their SCUBA shop in Sydney in December 1972. I remember this so well. Christine and Stephen were typical young teenagers of the early 70's - full of life. As a 14-year-old, I thought they were so cool. It hit me really hard when the news broke. My father came to my room when he heard it on the news the next morning to tell me what had happened, he was crying. My dad came to all my dives and enjoyed just being around everyone. Although I was much younger at 14, Stephen and Christine never treated me any different. RIP to all of them.
Iâm so sorry
The insane part of that story is how preventable it was. The instructor never should of encouraged them and lead them that deep. Was insane.
Oh wow, I'm so very sorry for your loss đ„đ I cannot imagine what they went through in their last moments, may they forever RIP
Man this is a wild story. Sorry for your loss.
Ralath Aka Defiant There was no lead instructor. Both Steve and Glenn were instructors. This was a dive by friends not an organised instructional dive.
It will never matter how early I catch a video. I get so into Johnâs storytelling I forget there even is a damn secret. đ€Šđ»ââïž
I think we should stay out of the water table that is below ground. If we mess that up and pollute it we are so screwed.
The next time my daughter tells me she's going mountain climbing, instead of being sick with worry I'm going to try to be grateful that at least she's not cave diving.
what doesnt make sense to me is.. when you breath out the oxygen,,, the bubbles float to the surface.. so.. how does one not know which way is up?
Their drunk but much worse so they can't tell that
@@milktoast8875 nitrogen poisoning can do that to you.
@@milktoast8875 How many drunk people (not just buzzed) have you seen make rational choices? I see them sleeping on the roads and breaking bones with over confidence. Now imagine those people teleporting down 400 feet in a dark cave of water with special suits with special gases and protocols to follow. Exactly lol
@@milktoast8875 Uhm, no. It goes in the direction of air. It'll just look like mist everywhere. Low light conditions. You're not in a clear pool. Your backdrop is shadows and rock.
I asked my mom what she wanted to watch today and she said âthe guy with the talesâ this is an everyday thing. We love you!
aww. I love this comment. you have a great relationship with your mom â€
Yea?!
Similar thing with my mom!!! Love
Lol thats adorable
You mean Goku the super Saiyan
I'm starting to think that having cave diving as a hobby (or job) is a really bad idea. I don't see the allure if it either. What is there to see in a pitch black cave that is worth risking your life?
đ€Šââïž
They do it for the adrenaline rush...
It's adventure and shi
@@q12aw50 No need to be rude, he was just asking a good question
Thatâs what Iâm always thinking. What do you think your gonna see to where itâs worth risking your life ?
Thank you for your weekly uploads! â„ïž
People who do this for "fun" are completely insane.
Yeah when I read the title I thought woah terrible but then we learn these crazy people are intentionally going in the hole! Moronic!!! Crazy!!!!
Indeed
Ikr
These type of stories make me more mad than sad. Completely avoidable deaths just annoy me so much.
I think its just another addiction
The fact that we are probably not actually walking on solid land way more often than we probably think is terrifying.
Lol that's exactly what I was thinking đ€Łđ€
It's all solid. Right up until it's not.
One of my irrational fears that I'll suddenly fall into a hole and it'll take someone a very long time to find me
Yeah terrifying no doubt.
Sinkholes are scary. That's why I love in Arizona where the land is mostly solid rock underneath. But who knows when the mega quake hits California if I'll be safe
I could not finish watching, I think in the last few years I've become claustrophobic. I was feeling anxiety and caught myself holding my breath several times. Maybe, every couple of days I will check to see if I can finish hearing this story! Thank you for such great stories that are told fabulously by you!
This kind of story is so upsetting. This outcome was so unnecessary. Some people just have to push things past the edge. I feel for the families and friends of those who died.
Just imagine walking in the middle of a grassy field relaxing and stuff... and then suddenly out of nowhere you plunge into a massive 300 meters deep cave full of ice cold water.. and nobody even knows you're there.. the guy was lucky the horse found the hole and it wasn't him who stepped onto it
Donât worsen my anxiety! Lol
That's why you should always let a friend or family member know you are going for a gentle stroll in a flat grassy inland field and what time you intend to return, and always provide them with a resource sheet for contacting cave rescue teams
man thats messed up, i guess the only good thing is that since is so narrow its a very low chance that you would just fall through it, in those pictures you can see they are basically getting as narrow as they can to get through it.
Minecraft moment
he probably don't weight like a horse for that
Every time he says "if you found the secret.." I'm like HOW? How does anyone have the time to look around when these stories are so freaking amazing đ
Same here, never have mindset to look for it when I'm wrapped up in the story.
I can't even find most of them when he posts the winner with the time stamp.
I've never found it, or even looked for the secret, bc the stories are too captivating and amazing to listen to.
But I think the few, who're finding it, completely ignore the story at first - knowing they can listen to it later and as often as they want - and study their large screens instead; people also said in the comments repeatedly, there's no chance to find it on a regular cellphone (screen = way too small).
For me this takes away to even look for it, when I know, I'd need at least a 15 inch television screen to find that stupid thing, tbh.
I have watched all of his videos multiple times and even knowing what the secret is I still don't see them
Look for "misspeak"...such as "the hole the horse made"
It was haunting and almost poetic when Ballen said they jumped off into the abyss, like it was just too tempting not to jump into.
I wished they had just stayed at level two. đ So sad.
Rest in peace brave adventurers đ€
This is the video that started it all for me. I randomly discovered this story on FB and dove down a rabbit hole of Mr. Ballen across a whole weekend. Best storyteller on YT!
Your ability to tell a story is incredible.

Cannot believe the decision to jump into the third section by the divers...it just is very illogically life risking in such a situation. My condolences.
They were probably suffering from that nitrogen psychosis he mentioned and weren't thinking straight. That's the only thing I can think of for why they'd enter an off limits area like that.
@@xzonia1 What makes that tough is a massive mistake on their part for not thinking of the gas mixture needed to prevent that. While Its possible that is why they went into the third zone it was all caused by not planning carefully in advance.
@@bigbay1159 True, and so tragic.
You rock Mrballan... Thank you!
Your the man MR B... I've loved all your videos an I especially appreciate your advocacy for mental health đ€
Dam the part when the two people embraced themselves knowing theyâre about to die hit my heart pretty hard. All because of a single mistake that couldâve EASILY been avoided if they followed a simple rule⊠listen people, there are rules for a reason and when your doing something dangerous as cave diving you should just follow them and hold your curiosity at bay.
I donât get those people. Like it was clear they hadnât had nitrogen narcosis so they were very much aware what they were doing. And they were told that they are not allowed to go down there because it can cause them to die and yet they did exactly that. Thatâs jus plain stupidity.
@@Manie230 No it was not clear that they hadn't had nitrogen narcosis. That's just a blatant lie assuming they were completely fine. Sounds like they shouldn't have gone further into the dive and after several critical mistakes they perished.
@@Noah-gk7rn it was clear because the dude tagt survived hadnât had it and if he hadnât had it itâs almost certainly the case that the others were fine too. Also the other dude that swam down with them said that they all said beforehand that they wanted to take a dip into level 3 whilst they knew that they were not allowed. It was plain stupidity that caused the deaths of those people.
As he said they already made the fatal mistake when they chose the air they used, the nitrogen narcosis made them make those other mistakes because they weren't thinking soundly.
@@Manie230 we don't know he didn't have it, he could have just handled it better , or just coz he maybe didn't have it doesn't mean the others didn't.
"they did NOT get permission to dive stage 3"
They're gonna do it anyway, aren't they....
All this really makes me want to hear about a case where something went wrong and they were able to survive due to experience or just a dive where things went the good way.
@@tobiasladdarn1959 yeeees me too !!!
Thier like the people in horror movies
Stupid
Idk how these divers are always so stupid.
I'd love for you to tell stories about the Bolton Strid in the UK. Everyone who has fallen in, has died. No one has survived so far. It's a really fascinating place..innocent looking but treacherous. If you cover it, put up a photo of it because SEEING the innocent look of it makes it more terrifying.
Yes... I have heard of the River Strid. Dangerous to even get close to it.... Lest one slips and falls in due to the damp moss on the riverbanks.
Thanks for sharing.
At this point, I'm convinced that the only reason anyone goes cave-diving anymore is to make more MrBallen content.
This one is a good one, love this channel so much! Another cave video that freaked me out was this: czcams.com/video/jWwPg8ruxfI/video.html absolutely a nightmare situation.

I love these videos so much they've become me and my mom's newest obsession lol. Also loving the passive aggression towards the like button with each new video it's honestly hilarious.
Every time itâs a cave diving story, I think to myself: âSomeone is about to A) get nitrogen drunk, B) get turned around and lost, and/or C) get sucked down by a current into a ridiculously deep part of the cave.â
Iâm scared of tight small places. In a cave. WITH WATER. I would panic if I got stuck.
Or d) kick up the silt and lose their visibility
Don't forget getting completely wedged into a small gap

You apparently have never heard of pool sharks.
@@seerofallthatisobvious1316 Are they invisible?
@@Anthonybrother No, but they do have lasers attached to their heads.
Iâm with you
Same here
This was really unfortunate. This is why you keep hearing the expression "plan your dive and dive your plan" while in SCUBA classes. At least, my instructors repeated this all the time. SCUBA diving is safe as long as you follow the rules, dive within the boundaries of your training, and use the right gear, otherwise, there are various ways of dying.
Diving is all about limits. Setting them, knowing them, following them. Before I go underwater I have very clear boundaries for depth, time, air, conditions (current, viz, temperature etc.) and known obstacles. As soon as one is reached, I and my buddy will begin ascending.
Oh god, another cave diving episode⊠I canât bear to watch, but I JUST CANâT STOP!!
The fact they were found embracing each-other was so sad, knowing they couldnât escape and all that was left was themselves so they just decided to go down together

"There once was a monster that liked to hide under children's beds to scare them. Then, one day, the monster looked under its own bed and saw Chuck Norris. THE END."
Bullshit! The monster wont ever leave if hes told stories by mr ballen!
Heartbreaking. Incredible storytelling John thanks

@@DiRtYwHiTeBoii Can you still write or have you regressed to a caveman, iconographic stage?
As for myself i find the saddest part about stories like these is that so many lives are lost because of sheer stupidity and/or ego.
Pretty much. Nature isn't forgiving, and it will put you in your place quicker and harsher than any human ever could.
I was just listening and thinking exactly the same đđđđ
Nah but... what if they got to the end np. đ
And evolved into mermaids.

Glenn was a G he went back down for his siblings, even though he knew he might die. My heart aches for him and his family. Talk about survivers guilt.
Any sensible person would
@@kcsdaddy335 False, a sensible person would accept that theyâre gone. A person with morality however would go back, but not a sensible person
@@C4DeadCharge you wouldnt go back to see if maybe they were there?there was still a chance.
@@kcsdaddy335 Never said I was a sensible person. I would go back for them because Iâm morally driven, a sensible person would not go back for them, theyâd be focusing on trying to get themselves out as soon as possible so they can alert proper authorities
@@C4DeadCharge let me rephrase that, any person who actually cares about their family would go back.
It is just beyond me that people undertake such obviously risky dives without informing themselves of the requirements they need, and of the known dangers that such dives entail. They are furthermore not only risking their own lives due to their stupidity, they are risking the lives of the members of rescue teams who are called to get them out of the situation they got themselves into.
This đ is amazeballs! Thanks for this story Mr.Ballen.Im thinking I'm going to swim to keep weight off fractures...but NEVER IN CAVES!!!

I like the way u explain how it all goes in your storyâs
When a cave has already claimed the lives of a dozen people, you think you would have your tank air right and maybe drag a string or something. I am no diver but it seems like most of these people havenât heard enough horror stories.
These divers need a mrballen lesson
It's often surprising how many people who should really know better do the most stupid things in these kinds of stories.
Kinda lends credibility to horror films and how dumb the characters there act, doesn't it?
Why on earth anyone would want to go down there is beyond me. "Oh I know lets go down this dark deep watery hole - lets bring the death toll up.
@@quizzabella I think most of the people who do this kind of mistakes are just so amazed of the cave and to curious that they decide that going just a little further is okay. But as we saw those little desicions are the ones who lead to these sad outcomes....
No, by then you'd think they would just seal it off.

@@TheAmazingAva So if that's of interest to you..
This was excellent thank u
Iâve watched a million of your videos⊠as a triplet (two boys and a girl) this ending made me tear up
I panic just thinking of the nitrogen poisoning.
Thinking of being so delirious you swim further down thinking youâre going to safety when youâre just swimming drunkenly to your demise.
At least in that situation your mind might be so altered that youâre most likely not even going to be aware, where as the other two just had to consciously and coherently accept it was happening and just held each other. Terrifying
I have been drunk often so I hope I would survive lol
Horrifying
Thats why we breath trimix, add helium instead of nitrogen = problem solved
Tbh, I think it sounds a little peaceful. You'd probably chill out a bit from the drunken effects, and as oxygen decreases you would just lose consciousness. You might not even realize you're running out. It's not so much gasping for breath as it is you become disoriented and fall asleep. All in all, perhaps one of the better ways to die. Considering this guy tells stories about some other really horrific deaths, like being boiled alive or crushed, I'd choose this way any day.
When he said the 19 year old and 28 year old just embraced each other instead of looking for the exit I legit almost got teary eyed. Another tragedyđ
Yes this is very sad
Been watching a lot of your vids through dive talk channel. I didnât realize I never subbed⊠gratz on the 8m subs you deserve it!
you are the best story teller EVER ! â€
Does anyone else always feel like they canât breathe themselves when listening to these underwater cave stories ?
The fact that those two divers were found embracing each other is the saddest thing everđ
Yes, it is so tragic. :(
At least they had each other; the third person died alone in the darkness.

There's a very thin line between a Cave Diver and a Cadaver! Water can be the most beautiful temptress, and the most deadly banshee. Those with a love affair with the oceans and seas know what can happen yet their passion is often overwhelming to the point of insanity. Most all that is beautiful in our eyes is deadly to our lives.
Bruh, nice.
I have friends who cave dive, here in Tennessee. You have to have a special license for it, because of the danger. But I get the beauty of the oceans.
True and beautifully written. Thank you!
@@Hollylivengood Aye! I think they'd be insane to let people do it freely, it is def one of the most deadly sports/hobbies or how ever it's classified. I think though that is what gets ahold of my heart every time I see these. More often then not the person or persons are experienced divers that have heard and know we'll the dangers of cave diving in particular yet they still go no matter who tells them it's to dangerous or how many no diving without instructor signs. The part I think that gets me is the thought of those last few mins when these experienced divers realize the inevitable and have to face it. In so many ways we strive to touch the limits of euphoria. Whether it's feelings, beautiful sights, or love itself, we all often walk to close to the edge of the line.
@@tornamore5421 You really do need to consider writing. That was beautiful. You know you can publish on Amazon for pretty cheap, and your work gets out there and you get something for it. I don't write myself, can't even spell, but I love scrolling through the Amazon published books of poetry. Anyway, would love to see yours in there one day.
I'm an advanced certified diver (no cave diving experience though) so the thought of not checking your air gauge before descending further is horrifying to me, particularly when you're so far down
I would assume they were confused and it was only supposed to be a recreational dive. They did not have the experience to be carrying out such an expedition.
Planning and prep of the site could have enabled them to have a much more controlled expedition.
They were experienced divers but that leads me to believe that good old overconfidence was with them that day. Forgetting the nitrogen mix was one thing, not sticking to the dive plan was where things went off the rails.
It is literally nothing but human error and that 99 percent of the time what causes things like this to happen this was so preventable if you don't have the proper equipment you don't dive simple as that especially with how dangerous diving already is if they didn't have nitrox tanks you don't dive or you dive no deeper than stage 1 no matter how good you are and its not even not checking the tanks bc during your pre plan with your other divers that should of be done 10 times over on top of that normally tanks and nitrox tanks are labeled all over to let you know either in big bold letters or a different colored tank that's not just something you forget they didn't have nitrox and went anyway
@@jamiefisher5523 I don't cave dive, but as for human error?
All of them must have had the same relatively low air lvl's before jumping off the ledge.
Really don't understand đ
@@stuartburns8657 that's human error you don't go somewhere you haven't prepared no matter what Eben just for a peak your taught that right off that bat bc I've even seen it in person I've seen a person drop like a rock never to be seen again all because they got too cocky or the just for a sec I'm not kidding when that literally all it takes you respect shat you are doing you are safe it's as simple as that thd moment you forget it you or someone else dies and that's why people fear diving so much especially in caves but like I said you respect what you are doing and you'll be fine I've been diving for 12 years and I've followed that to the letter narcosis is no joke you will see the best divers make the dumbest decisions under panic or narcosis and all it take is one decisions I've seen people deflate their BCDs for no reason and then no even remember doing it and another rule that's why you never ever ever dive alone literally ever
That is both really sad and kind of sweet that his sister and the guy, knowing they weren't going to make it just embraced each other until the end.
My claustrophobia has me cringing at stories like this. Tight spaces are especially terrifying. Whether above or below the water. Some stories give me panic attacks.
Iâm born and bred in Australia and been all over the country through most outback towns and canât recall ever hearing of this.
The effort you put into your research blows me away
Sames.. this is all news to me.
Looked it up being a south australian. Real story although, those 4 divers were the only people who ever died in there so the title is wrong
Hi there! South Australian here! I actually live in the Limestone coast! Most sinkholes are rarely talked about after ya know. People dying and because they happened recently we try to avoid blasting it about. However, there are some safer areas to explore such as the Little Blue Lake sinkhole or Kilsby Sinkhole. You can find the other's just driving about but most aren't heavily regulated and you are RISKING YOURSELF if you decide to dive.
Aussie here, I knew about this but it wasn't a big story of anything. I think I read about it on Reddit or somewhere
I'm a diver, the deepest I've been is 100f. Stories like this is why I will NEVER cave dive.
Like I will gladly dive to 500f in the deepest parts of the ocean of given the chance but NEVER in a cave. Ever.
@@Volgotha Is there visibility at 500ft?
@@samantha4238 No you need a light, and the only colors down there are blues and deep violets. Also to dive that deep you need a special air mixture. I'm not certified to go to 500f only 100f. I want to get certified as a master diver so I can go that deep one day. If I can.
We had friends who were cave divers. They are all dead, only one at home from "natural causes" the rest from cave diving. Two of them were cave-diving instructors.
@@Volgotha angler fish finna pull up on yo assđ
Thanks for including metric numbers!
From what I've found many expert divers go down there to explore the underwater caves but not everyone gets the opportunity. They cautiously screen whoever they decide to let go down there and they have to sign a waiver which is smart on their behalf.
I donât remember ever being tempted to âcave diveâ, I know for sure now that it will never happen in the future. They need to someway making it possible to watch one of Mr Ballenâs cave diving videos at the opening to each dangerous cave. I bet that would work better than all the caution signs in existence
You are right
I think you should read this and fix it.
Absolutely.
