Cave Diver low on air finds toxic air pocket deep inside cave

  • Today we react to one of the worst case scenarios that we've ever heard on Dive Talk.
    A cave diver in Spain gets terribly lost, and with almost no air left finds an air pocket with HIGH CO2 level. There is no hope, no ability to track the time that has passed, and the batteries of his light running low, all he has left is his knife and a piece of rope, and he starts to think the unthinkable.
    For reference, the air we breathe has a 0.04% CO2 content. The air Xisco was breathing inside the pocket had 5%!

    I am blown away that you were able to speak to Xisco! He is an incredible human and I hope he is content with my version of his story. Great content. @divetalk , I would appreciate it next time if you could mention my name at the beginning of the video to give context that another creator made the content. This was my first ever youtube video and I apologize for the sibilance/ editing issues. I bought a new mic so the audio quality will improve in my vids going forward. Xisco inspired me to make many more CZcams diving videos, and I could not thank him enough for that. Keep up the great work Gus and Woody.

    Hey Gus! That's not Spanish but the local language : "Mallorquí"
    As an Spanish speaking Venezuelan is totally understandable your confusion. I hope they don't give you a hard for this.
    You are right in that "negada" in Spanish means denied. However in this case means "flooded".
    Sediments llimosos = Muddy sediments
    Bocs caiguts = Fallen rocks
    Zona negada = Flooded area
    Cova des Xots = Lamb's Cave
    Espelectemes = stalactites (you sure guessed this one)
    The yellow area in the drawing represents a calcareous mass
    Great job guys!!

Amazing is just too simple of a word to express how Woody and Gus take their show beyond a simple reaction video.

    This video is a prime example of what I love about CZcams. To watch you react and give commentary on a story only to then contact the subject of that story and hear it in his own words, overcoming the language barrier by translating in the moment, is such a beautiful example of respect, diligence, and global community.

I got a knife and I'm terrified and fighting for my life. ONE of you is STAYING. I don't want to hurt you and I appreciate you for coming, however you aren't leaving me alone.

  • @aarondillon5986

    Think what you guys missed was that when they both got into that air pocket Cisco took out a map or something and showed the other guy that there was a second way out to another cave entrance and the lines should be intact. But the issue was this other exit was so far away that, between the two of them, they only had enough air for one of them to make it. So they chose to let the smaller of the two go.

    I'm not a diver, but my partner is, and he's mentioned many times wanting me to go diving with him at some point, and tbh it has always sort of scared me. I snorkel, and I love that (he got me into it and it absolutely blew my mind how beautiful even our local pond is), but the idea of being under water with nothing but a mouthpiece to breath through and many feet from the surface freaked me out (cave diving was just like, HA. NO.). Y'all have demystified it so much and made it seem so much less scary and more manageable, that my partner might actually get me as a diving buddy at some point. Thank you!

    • @randomyoutubecommentersecu7639

      It is up to you but take proper courses and don't push yourself. Find a good diving teacher that can teach you all he can and one that is actually known and has a good history and reputation to back him up. A lot of accidents and death underwater in cave diving are mostly from people not respecting the dive rules and some are for the fact they try to go down further than they should at their experience level. There's also the risk of equipment failures. You should be informed about the possible risks before choosing it , just like skydiving....Ah and you should see how you react under stress. If you panic and flail around in normal situations then don't even try diving because going haywire and stumbling around without a plan will get you killed underwater while the worst part is that your buddies can't really help you a lot of the times lest they put themselves in danger as well...Not saying it is a death sentence but there are actual risks and not everybody can do it..And a calm head on your shoulders will save your life. Panic and losing sight of the line and kicking up sediments will likely be your doom in complex cave systems.

    What I learn from Xisco is 'Trusting his buddy with his life. He was able to choose suffering to save his buddy's life while trusting him still to return to save him.' We don't have friends like that these days. How did his buddy feel having to wait for days for Xisco?

    I thought I was just in for a generic reaction video, with maybe a bit more of an educational aspect to it - but the fact you got the man himself on and did a truly respectful and insightful interview is just amazing, top tier content.

    It's easy to comment negatively about how the rescuers performed without being there to understand the decisions that were made and wny. They weren't reckless and everyone survived. I think getting too caught up in single rapid cave rescue stories, does not always reflect the reality of all caves, and all needs in an emergency or rescue. I'm glad they did such a good job and saved one of our caving comrades, brilliant job.

    And in the meantime, I'm absorbing an enormous amount of knowledge about cave diving (but not only) from you. Before, I didn't understand why would anyone want to dive in dark caves, but now I got it thanks to you. Maybe some day I will follow this path too, who knows :D

    He was at one third air supply when they turned to exit. Apparently they were so into measuring and gathering samples they forgot about the rule of thirds.
    That's why they had to combine tanks so one could leave. Just shows even experienced divers can make mistakes, get to exited and stop paying attention.

    • @Yggdrasil42
      @Yggdrasil42 Před 2 lety +3

      No, he had used one third when they turned. Just as it should be! They got in trouble when the line was broken and had to use another exit, further away. Hence, sending one diver with their combined supply.
      A team of experienced cave divers like these are would never simply use 2/3rds without anyone speaking up. That's ludicrous.

      And from the rest of the story even without that broken line they were short on air which is why only one could head for the exit using air tanks from both of them.
