You mentioned taking French for years in school, do I detect a fellow Canadian?
@@LoudWaffle Yup, haha
Happy Easter and other holidays Josh and all

Salut Sean, combien de temps penses-tu avoir besoin avec Babbel avant de pouvoir faire un episode complet en francais ?
I'm beginning to be convinced that scuba divers and cavers are the only members of the human race who are truly built different. Imagine being an intelligent fish, building yourself a breathing machine for dry land, and deciding that climbing Mt Everest was an exciting proposition. That's essentially what divers do.
That is a brilliant analogy.
You can build a car without wheels. You'll be building it differently, but it would hardly be a smart thing to do. That's essentially what divers do.
That is a very astute estimation! There is a lure to be sure.
I work in the marine industry and I’ve been told that I’m crazy for being open to Atlantic crossings on sailboats. To me, being on top of the water is so different than being underneath. Scuba diving terrifies me; at least I can breathe if the boat sinks as long as I put on a flotation device. Relying on an oxygen tank in a dark, cramped cave is tremendously spookier than being on top of the water and not being able to see land 🫣
@@tineke4134 to be fair, you're still crazy for being open to crossing the Atlantic on a sailboat. Haha! But I agree 100% regarding scuba
One lesson I've learned from all these cave diving stories is that if you're in a cave diving team, being the person that decides it's a bad day to go into the water is the easiest way to not die in a cave.
yeah but if it turns out well or if there’s a groundbreaking discovery then you’re not there to witness it
@@brianchouproductions A groundbreaking discovery? Every single underwater discovery has been "oh there's another cave here" or "hey look, there are the bodies of the last team."
@@brianchouproductions I would rather miss a million discoveries than die in one of these fuckers once 🤣
I would argue the easiest way is to just never go cave diving. That's my plan. If I somehow die in a cave, something has gone horribly wrong.
@@phantomspaceman Your comments made me spit out my water. You said exactly what I was thinking but did it in a far more humorous way than I could. 😂
It would be so scary to be diving in a dark cave and then suddenly there's an extra person next to you that turns out to be a corpse. What a nightmare!
It would be if it were a cave that hadn't been explored with a well known tragedy. Give your head a shake.
What could a corpse do? Raise from the dead? Diver Jesus?
Right? FAAAK!
@@Schummler666it's the scare because you wouldn't expect to see that. Not that the corpse would do something, please.
awful.
Imagine being the first diver to enter an uncharted body of water in Australia. God knows what creatures from hell could have been in there!
I imagine getting to the bottom of the rope, fins just about to break water, and the flashlight passing over a massive catfish face about six feet across sitting totally still just an inch beneath the surface checking out the rope dangling into the water; the first thing to make a commotion in its still and dark home since the rocks began to fall.
@@justplainpsychoticbro you got my fucking imagination running absolutely wild...jesus what a horrifying image 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I wouldn’t!
Could be bloody Australians down there! Jaezus.
Yea yea whatever now stf*
@@Jay22222 it’s true we live in the bottom of underwater caves. Don’t go down we might catch you. Let this be a lesson to never go cave diving. Beware australians oooooooooowhhhhhhh
God I can’t imagine the pain Glen went through losing his brother and sister in an instant, being unable to do anything about it. I’m surprised the land owners let anyone go into The Shaft after that tragic incident where 4 people died and their bodies were stuck in there somewhere, but I’m glad the filming crew were able to find them so they could be safely recovered and given a proper resting place. Whole thing is heartbreaking tho.
Sad as it all was, I suspect the owners wanted the dead bodies removed from their property.
And the parents lost two children on the same day. A nightmare.
If they didn't die here, what other stupidly dangerous "adventure" would have been next?
@@princeofcupspoc9073 probably driving a car home.
Since that’s far more dangerous than extreme sports. Lmao it’s amazing how angry some of you weirdos get about other people having fun you don’t approve of.
@@Tsumami__ well that's not really true... Driving a car isn't more dangerous than extreme sports. The only reason why driving has more deaths is because far, far more people do it than any extreme sport.
Being underwater is one of my greatest fears, let alone being trapped underwater in a cave. I will never understand why people enjoy it.
The fact you can't see and then you can't breathe. It must've been very terrifying.
Becouse most people cant even stand the idea of doing it is why its so badass thats why people like it.
@@AhmetOzdemir-om3bj dying a stupid death it's not badass, it's dumb as fuck.
@@AhmetOzdemir-om3bj dying because of your ignorance is not badass, everyone can do something insanely dangerous, surviving it makes you a badass because you went to the limit and still made it through, this is just sad...
There’s usually a huge ego component.
Similar those who desire reaching the tops of the highest peaks of Everest, K2, etc.
The appeal of conquering the unconquerable, being among the first or few to go where no one’s gone before.
Ego is almost always a trait shared amongst the people with the disposition to do the sort of extreme & deadly activities most of us see as insane.
And for the most extreme cases, like being the first to path-find unmarked dive caves, it’s also probably fair to say there’s some degree of unhinged, maniacal state of mind.
I’ve dived extensively in open water (& some novice caves). The appeal of cave diving is still just as foreign & ludicrous to me as it was before I ever put on a SCUBA tank.
Cave diving is like entering a labyrinth that is going to kill you if you can't find the exit in time.
It reminds me of the movie, "Ocolus" Why do you want to explore a trap that's trying to kill you?
Dying in the freezing, dark abyss while slowly starving of oxygen sounds like one of the worst ways to go. I really feel for these divers, but the brother and sister holding one another at least gives somewhat of a comforting thought.
I can think of far worse ways to go than that.
the panic might be horrible, but not even close to being one of the worst ways!
@@kitsunekaze93 the knowledge that it's the end, I mean. It must have been torture.
@@emusaurus yes, certainly. I meant the realization that your death is coming, as you slowly die. I guess that'd be the worst thing for me.
People do this and their friends die doing it and they literally keep doing it anyways it’s idiotic
Imagine being Glen, watching his sister swim off and deciding to surface without signaling her, and then never seeing her again. The survivor's guilt he must have 😢
I feel so bad for their parents -and Glen too. Not only did he suffered from survivor's guilt, he had to come home alone to his parents, knowing two of their three children died that day.
He tried to signal her, but she did not notice. Why did you type he did not signal her? You type like a sick person trying to fake empathy while rubbing the tragedy on the face of normal people.
@@DioDCynicYour comment is so strange. He tried to signal her, but failed to because she swam away before he could. OP's comment is accurate: He surfaced without signaling her. You assumed so much.
Geez. What do you have against OP?@@DioDCynic
Good thing I now know to turn around during cave exploring once I hear this music
It's like hearing the Chubbyemu music when you open your refrigerator. Just throw everything out at that point.
Thanks for the laugh 😂
Or a LiveLeak logo in your top right corner of vision.
If you’re cave exploring and hear this music, you’re already too late
@@b1ff Lol true
I love that unlike other channels that recount tragedies, you don’t try to dramatize them. You say what happened without having to play horror movie music in the background and you don’t tell the stories as if every single one is a ghost story with malicious actors. Just respectfully telling of tragic events and always remembering to warn the viewer that these activities should be carried out by professionals.
Yeah, the events are already tragic and terrifying on their own, not really a need for adding unnecessary effects, it's real and that's horrifying enough.
Sounds like you don't like scary stories in dark mysterious format
@@GhostRogueDown its just cringe man, having to tell a scary story by just simply telling them is already scary, no need for fancy effects
I agree and I LOVE that he doesn't over dramatize his voice like a lot of channels do especially the ones who do shorts about "scary" things. They think they sound spooky but actually just sound like an idiot.
I agree. This is my favorite tragedy-recounting channel because he’s not trying to flesh-out the stories with dramatics and unnecessary details.
As someone who dived to 42 meters/ 137 feet (for PADI Deep Diver Certification), I could feel how dissolved oxygen becomes as you go deeper... it's like the air you breathe isn't filling your lungs the same way and your breathing rhythm goes a lot faster because your lungs never feel full. Plus, nitrogen narcosis also does take effect impairing vision as discussed in the video. We only stayed for 2 minutes to practise a few things with my instructor. And then slowly resurfaced.
My jaw just dropped when I heard of these poor people going all the way down to 185, with each second, they are getting higher on nitrogen narcosis, having difficulty properly breathing. Everything around them is pitch dark, it's like out of a horror story. It's so shocking and tragic that they took such a risk. RIP to all the crew.
Yeah it seems like very quickly downing a bottle of whiskey, then blind folding yourself, and trying to make it to your neighbour’s house and back
Every part of it seems bad but together is insane
As a diver I do agree, it's really shocking
nitrogen narcosis and oxygen toxicity
you know everybody has different genetics, they might not feel the effects that soon
I'm sorry what? You are describing climbing the Mount Everest, not diving. At 40m depth the paO2 is 5 times the atmospheric paO2. At 40m you're basically breathing pure oxygen due to the increase of partial pressure. Not the other way round my friend! Principal means of transportation of O2 and CO2 is haemoglobin, this cycle remains largely unchanged (in fact the O2 saturation should be at its maximum). Only the saturation of plasma with O2 and N2 rises which causes the toxic effects of these two gases. But, the ratio of gases dissolved in plasma remains the same and therefore doesn't impair breathing on systemic nor celular level.
A good number of my classmates (Geology) were avid cavers. Everyone one of them knew first hand of someone who died while cave diving or being caught in a flooding cave when a storm went by. It seems like one of those activities where the margin of error is so insanely thin, any little hiccup can be fatal. I had to do some caving as part of my class work. Never got a taste for it even in dry conditions.
Heard
My pop was a cave diver (founding member and president of the CDAA) and he was a big part of this rescue/retrieval. He worked with the police as a professional cave diver to do most local rescues and retrievals. Cave diving is a beautiful and intriguing skill. There were lots of accidents (unqualified people who didn’t take the danger seriously) prior to this and as there were very little regulations (it was the 60’s and 70’s after all), it was required that there was a national board who could verify if divers were qualified and could safely conduct dives. As mentioned, these people were all qualified in diving but not cave diving. They’re insanely different. I feel very lucky to know the cave divers I do and live in Mount Gambier. It’s a beautiful area and I’m really glad that the CDAA exists to ensure accidents like this don’t happen (and that if they do, there is people like my pop to help those below water to save them or bring them home to rest).
I have a lot of respect for people like your father, who try to rescue people or retrieve bodies. That's a dangerous job that not a lot of people can do.
What was your dad's name ?
My condolences for your loss
Your dad was a brave man, and a hero for helping others. You should be very proud.
You showing who was back up and who was still down was amazingly helpful. On the stories with large amounts of people please keep doing this going forward.
When I first started my SCUBA lessons, my dad handed me a book of diving accidents where people died. To be safe, you have to learn from those who failed.
Hey everyone! You may have seen this one before, but hopefully, this visualizes it unlike any other version you've seen. Have a great week!
Love your voice and how you tell these stories and events, thank you for the content! Hope you have a great week as well 😊
Still wish you would do the Tri-State tornado.
This story never gets old. Fascinating, sad, scary. Thanks dude 😶🖤
You too Sean 👍🏼
Thank you, I have a much better understanding of all the factors at play now. Another great video!
I SWEAR, you could describe, in-depth, the action of paint drying on a wall, and I would listen to it. You have a way of making ANYTHING sound interesting or exciting. Seriously, great work. 👍
Out of all the cave diving stories, this one disturbs me more than most. I'm not sure if it's just the large loss of life or just thinking about the idea of each diver coming to the realization they are about to drown one by one in span of just a few minutes of eachother.
Especially two of them together who both likely just held each other as their air ran out.
It's almost guaranteed that one of them was holding the other's corpse before they died.
@@hariman7727How naive you have to be to think that two people would be huging each other out of compasión in a drowning situation and not trying to use the other person body to float and fight for exaustion and apshyxia 😂
This story is always so haunting. Something about it reminds me of the story of the girl who went into these catacombs to relieve herself while drinking with some friends at an enterance.. she ended up getting lost by herself, wandering around the catacombs in the pitch black for days with only thousands of skeletons, spirits, & lord knows what else to keep you company, before finally succumbing to thirst, hypothermia, and whatever else. Poor poor girl, that must have been an absolutely terrifying way to go. I pray I never know someone who passes in such a haunting or violent way. 💔
That was in Ukraine or in Russia if I remember correctly. I remember hearing about that story. She was also intoxicated or drunk I think. That doesn't help to find your way out. She must have panicked and got lost. At least in the version I've heard it's what they supposed.
@@MarvinHartmann452 Under paris.
It was in Odesa, Ukraine
@@olenaolena9073Oh cool, Russia was just invading that city. Small world huh
My heart rate skyrockets during these cave diving accident videos. Geez.
i always send links to these videos to ppl who are talking abt being unsafe around water
I fall asleep listening to this
I just had to pause it for a few minutes so I could relax a little!
These cave diving stories always FILL me with anxiety, my god. I’ll never ever do this shit. I can’t imagine the pure terror these souls felt before they died. Rest in peace
I have heard about this disaster before, but I learned in your video why that strange rock pile was under the hole. For some reason, that makes this story even spookier. The divers literally have to swim past a huge pile of rocks tossed in in an attempt to close the hole and make this situation safer.
Nope..... I start to pánic if the elevador doors are taking to long to open lol.
The first story, I'm a farmer in New Zealand and we call those limestone holes Tomos. They can just open up randomly and they're not rare or unusual and I'm not surprised the farmer didn't see it before given the paddock size is huge in Australia and they're hard to spot. An entire region is called Waitomo in NZ which means water cave. You can't do much about them other than fence them off, they're not usually as big as that one though and rarer to have water in them.
woah
Pump water and use for cultivation
@@wallerstcwhat the f bro
@@dengbona4406 wats wrong buddy?
I think a hole with water would be a God send for a farmer, he can just mount an irrigation system there.
Maybe, but I’d be worried about my livestock causing a cave in and losing them all.
@@darenmiller2218 In that case, Scary Interesting’s story would end with: “Some say that at sunset and dawn, the mooing of the cows can still be heard as they try fruitlessly to go home.”
Also a hole with water: your mom 😂
Or at least the luck of the draw depending on what you believe
I thought the same thing. I mean an endless supply of free water. Im surprised the farmer didn't try to utilize it.
I make it a point to try and avoid places where there is little to no oxygen when I can.
It really sucks what happened to these poor people, the idea of not being able to find the surface is terrifying.
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later
The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross.
By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift

My experience that could have landed me on this channel:
Don't ever free climb a water tower without training either... I know from experience what a stupid idea this is... We are lucky to be alive.
No climbing or safety gear... The problem wasn't climbing to the top... Or walking around the ledge and taking pictures... No no no the problem was climbing back down.
Once we got to the platform at the top, the only way to get back down is a vertical ladder from the top of the water tower to the bottom ground level.
And that ladder creates a perfect right angle with the platform at the top of the tower... If you can picture it in your head you can see what I mean. The only way to get back onto the ladder from the platform.......
.... And this is scary as all hell: The only way to get back on the ladder is to dangle the bottom half of your body out over the ledge into nothing.......
..... And to make matters worse, when you dangle the back half of your body down over the edge of the platform, to feel for the ladder with your feet... And this is the worst most horrifying part of this bad idea::::
::::: There is absolutely nothing to hold on to when you dangle your legs down to find the ladder... It is nothing but smooth metal to stabilize yourself while the back half of your body dangles over the abyss.
And that is a terrible feeling, the only thing you have for traction and gription is your fingerprints.
Never again, worst decision of my life
this made the hairs on the back of my neck rise just to think about it. i would've stayed up there curled into fetal position until rescue came 😅
@@seraphik that almost happened. We were around 18 and 19 years old at the time... Impatient youngsters lol. It never occurred to me that we could have called for help.
The water tower was nearby Austin State School in Texas. Which is next door to a correctional facility. The state school was a boarding school for kids that had mental problems. It was abandoned, for many years, and a lot of the stuff was left inside. There is a cemetery there and a morgue, and a hospital. It's all abandoned and it is supposedly one of the haunted places in Texas to check out. As teenagers we went there many times taking pictures in the dark hallways trying to catch ghostly apparitions and orbs and stuff. We did catch a bunch of freaky stuff on photograph. With disposable cameras. There is one room in one of the buildings, there's a big sign on the front of the building that says keep out asbestos... We went inside anyways, and inside that building there is one room with wood paneling all the way around the room...
...... The entire room was covered and splattered in blood and guts. It was on the walls on the ceiling covering the floor too...
Why would there be blood up so high on the walls? Everything was dry and it was the grossest thing I've ever seen in my life.
The thought did occur to me that since it was next door to a prison... Something bad may have happened there, or maybe some occultish teenagers did some type of sacrifice of an animal in there or something... All I know is that it was ugly, disgusting, horrifying, and there was bad juju all over that place. Bad bad bad juju.
There was one time that we went up there, and we saw some trucks on the back of the property, this was separate from the bloody incident... The bloody room happened first..... But about a year later we went out there and stumbled onto the set they were filming the Texas chainsaw massacre in one of the rooms of the hospital. It was a completely different building than the bloody room. It was a year later too, so I don't believe that the filming of the movie and the bloody room were actually connected. The scene that was filmed in Texas chainsaw massacre was one of the deleted scenes you can find in the extra scenes part... It is of a lady being interviewed in a mental hospital... That is the only room they used on the property.
And furthermore... Being young teenagers and all, I got my buddy to actually taste the blood off of the wall, because we had seen it in movies where somebody dips their finger in it, and then touches their tongue and then spits it out and nods and says " Yes that's blood"
Well, we tried that, and sure enough he nodded and said he believed it was blood, not corn syrup lol. Anyways that is the tale of our adventures at the freaky place that is Austin State School.
@@zac2877so the blood and guts were fresh? if not, then blood dries into a brown color. it must have smelled bad in that room if it was real. I''m assuming the guts looked real too?
@@xenostim It was not fresh it was very old.
It did stink, it was very musty though, because the building was decrepit, there's no telling how long it could have been there. But yes the reason I say guts on top of blood, was because there was stuff on the ground in the corners that looked like dried organs or something. Like intestines or something like that
@@xenostim We saw the bloody room about a year before we bumped into the director of the chainsaw massacre movie set. So I don't think the two were related, which, makes it a little more unsettling
As an Australian I both love and am horrified by Australian cave stories. Love your videos!
(Also as a note: Mt Gambier is usually pronounced Gambiah)
I wanted to say something about the pronunciation too
Nothing like a scary interesting story on a sunday am i right?

Fun Fact: Alcoholics can dive deeper on regular air because the effects of nitrogen narcosis go more unnoticed because they are used to a constant state of inebriation. Do with that information what you will. 😂

Really well done video! I especially appreciate the use of helpful illustrative visuals, and your calm, non-sensationalized descriptions of what happened. You clearly took a lot of time on this, and cared about being accurate.
I'm a scuba diver by passion, these stories give me so much of adrenaline rush. Thanks man ❤
I can't fantom why anyone would want to go into a cave like that. It's like going into hell itself.

Crazy suicidal
I’m from Adelaide and I’ve never heard this story. It’s terrifying, thanks for telling it so well.
It's actually pronounced Gam-bee-err rather than Gam-beer.
Weird that it was so close to being a town in Victoria given its status in South Australia.
Thanks for sparking my interest in the region again, as a native of Adelaide. Never gave much thought about what's underground at the limestone coast.
Not sure if I saw the previous version but visuals of a cave are 100% going to help.
Yeah I live in SA and that pronunciation was trippy to listen to! At least I'm used to Adelaide being described as 'weird' from people outside SA haha
With a little addition, since we're Australian, the 'eer' part might sound more like an 'ah' to other accents! So Mt. "Gam-bee-ah" might be more helpful?
Stf* nerd
Me: Where you from?
Aussie: I'm out of Gambia.
Me: Gambia? Seem pretty stalian to me.
Aussie: I'm out of beer.

I love how I can be listening to something and not realise it's about Australia because the pronunciation is so off
I got addicted to your videos yesterday and watched, like, 10 of them already, my favorite being these about divers. Keep doing this amazing job! The storytelling, the editing, everything is perfect!
You'd think they'd use a sounding line or stick to measure the water depth after the first dozen rocks....😂
Not exactly the sharpest tool in the box were they 😂
Plenty of examples of people doing the same thing over and over, regardless of whether it's getting them closer to their goal. For example, eating the cookie even though you're on a diet. Then eating another 🤣I don't think intelligence is in question here, it's just human nature.
@@sitcomchristian6886 lol yeah don't get me wrong i'm pretty sure I'd be right beside the dude helping for quite awhile before I'd pipe up about what are we doing. The benefit of already knowing what this is and then going back and laughing about that probably isn't all that fair. But still funny as hell to me🤣
Lol. No one said they didn’t. That was a long time ago. They probably did try that but the depth turned out to be like 250 feet. Plus the twenty to the water. Doubtful they had a stick that long just laying around lol that’s bigger than most trees. And you’d need a line that long to do it, along with attaching it with 1930s technology soooo yeah. Rocks it is.
Honestly that made me irrationally angry. Like, give up after a few dozen. Geez! They threw in thousands? What an exercise in futility. It's like the people who feel the need to throw every last rock off the top of hills and cliffs. Like just stop already.
I’m a South Australian and I didn’t expect to ever see my state on this channel. Also it’s hilarious that you had an ad read for Babbel seconds before mispronouncing Mount Gambier (it’s like Gamby-er fyi).
Y'all pronounce things yo own way
He was learning an entirely different language jackass
That pronunciation is crazyyy 😂😂
I appreciate your verbose illustrations of the scenery in these stories. It’s something lacking in many other videos of this category and it helps me as a visual learner to understand the layout of these events.
There are a lot of different CZcamsrs who already covered the story but to be honest your video and the way you visualized the whole story just makes it way easier to understand and more interesting to listen too especially for people like me. I’m a visual learner so I have to see things and map it out on a piece of paper myself if they’re not shown in the video but yours was so helpful🥰🥰
I would never go diving without a line that led all the way back out to the surface
You did an outstanding job on this video, I mean that. While I've heard about this incident before I was stunned by how much new information I learned from this video. Thank you for doing the research and taking the time to compile it all. You rock!
Hi Sean, two of the divers are close family friends of mine, I have seen several documentaries on ‘the shaft’, both have been quite inaccurate in some areas to put it lightly, so far you have made the best video with the most accuracy, so thank you for taking the time to get it right, however I should let you know that the diver labelled Peter was most definitely not there that day, he was in Sydney with his children. I really enjoy all of your videos, so thank you so much for all the content you produce 😊
So you're saying that 9 intended to dive, but 8 went there, and 7 of them went into the water?
Ofcourse there's this comment here.
Lying.
Funny how Peter signed the log book, and the other 8 said he was there...
🧢 he got it all correct now shut up
The lack of guide ropes blows my mind. Even Hansel & Gretal would have known they needed that. The air mixtures are technical and understandable they might not have ;properly understood that (fatally dangerous but understandable) but a trail to find your way back out... that is such an obvious necessity for exploring anywhere but especially underwater... in a cave: don't get lost!
Really appreciate all the work and visuals that you lay out along your storytelling. It is seamless!
Great video as always! It’s always so chilling to think about how crazy silting is to me. Not being able to tell which way is up or down when you know you’re about to run out of air is a death sentence :(
I’ve been subscribed for a while and it has been great to watch this channel grow. your narration and story telling are spot on keep it up!
I grew up 30 minutes from Mount Gambier. I used to snorkel in Ewens Ponds nearby which are 3 large connecting sinkholes, the clarity of the water is unreal. I had a look around the Pines Cave entrance and always wanted to learn to dive and explore what was beneath but the self preservationist in me always stopped me.
Hey Sean, thank you so much for covering this one, much appreciated. Hope your well my friend
Man that was some great production work!! I've heard this story before but those visuals made it alot easier to follow and comprehend
The pacing of storytelling and the editing is superb. Especially with a big group of people involved, the visuals made it easier to follow. Kudos
I’ve heard this story so many times before but never in this much depth and with so much additional context. I got goosebumps when you said they were deep diving with regular air which wasn’t unusual for that time period. Cave diving’s come a long way not without leaving casualties in its wake. Excellent video 👍
Yes! Cave story with my favorite background noise!
Music name??
I used to love true crime but after consuming so much of it over a few years, I noticed it wasn’t helping my mental health whatsoever, so I took a healthy step back. I still so enjoy mysteries, but just rehearsing the same old grisly murders and disappearances wasn’t doing anyone any good and by the 200th time hearing the same story it begins to feel exploitative. But this channel branching out into the cave diving and mountaineering and wilderness mysteries is just the perfect sweet spot for me. It’s still interesting and intriguing without all the horrific murder… mostly. This channel, Brick Immortar and Horror Stories are healthily feeding my mystery addiction without all the blood and guts, and I’m so grateful. Thank you for the in depth, high quality and well explained stories.
Really amazing work with visualising the story - thank you for taking the time to make this! Loved this format!
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later
The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross.
By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift
Love your channel! I love the visuals you use, really helps me get into the story even more 😊
i’ve been to mount gambier and seen all the beautiful sinkholes and limestone caves. i had no idea something like this happened there
I know it’s a minor detail, but you really picked the best music for these videos. It just sets this atmosphere that draws us in and has us hanging on every word. Makes me feel grief for people I’ve never known.
Agreed do you know the name of the song?
I’ve heard this story but I still watched the whole thing. This was so well done! Great narration and helpful visuals! 👏 going to go watch more of your vids. Keep it up!
This was fascinating.. thank you for making it so well!
one of the best on YT. always excited to see a new episode. well maybe not excited at they usually involve something that went wrong
I don't have any fingernails left after this one
Same here
I love the effort put into these videos, so different from other scary stories, scary and sad at times but it feels relaxing in a way like a calming podcast.
First-time viewer, and I'm hooked. Excellent video all around, from narration, to visuals, to music. I can see you're going to cause some sleepless nights in my future!
Always love to hear your versions of vids, very informative!
Love these videos bro. My wife got certified in open ocean off the coast of Seattle, imagine going 90 ft down off the harbor in freezing water with 5 ft visibility, and then the instructor tells you that after months of training and being 99% finished, you need to take your mask completely off, put it back on and clear it to pass.
Brutal but she did it. That was a few years ago and if you can dive in the Seattle harbor, then anything south in open ocean is a cake walk. She’s dived in Puerto Vallarta and somewhere along Brisbane, but she finally got me to go in Cancun. The nice thing about Mexico being the real Wild West is that you only need a one hr training class with them to open water dive to 10 m so I got my fins wet on 2 separate dives without certs (I had 3 hrs of dives sharing oxygen with certified divers in Inland Pacific NW lakes at that point).
Scuba diving really is one of the coolest things you can do and I recommend everybody try it. It may be too late for me to dive at the necessary depth to see the parts of the Great Barrier Reef untouched by pollution, but having a good instructor and team alongside with you really is the difference in being the first pair of eyes to ever see the inside of a specific cenote.
The visuals and the scripting on this one is great. each video better than the last, hats off to you and your team
I have heard a lot of these stories before but its always interesting to see and hear someone elses explanation of an event. And I feel theres some learning retention value to hearing the stories again
Oh yea …. heard this story a million times, but you have just outdone yourself with this one! GREAT VISUALS, GREAT STORYTELLING 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Nope. Not me. I went cave diving once in Mexico and was exhilarated, just amazing. Then I watched the movie Sanctum, and that killed off that exploratory desire.
Being caught on something on the bottom of a shallow Lake Superior dive, and being a few seconds away from drowning when my tank went dry probably didn't help either. My view thru my mask was vignetted as the lack of oxygen was starting to make me pass out. Plus, I'm afraid of sharks and undersea monsters below me I can't see. Also, I've an irrational fear of water so deep I can't see the bottom or any lateral references; the 'infiniteness' messes with my mind so badly, I'm like 1 volt away from a panic attack.
Now I live in the Arizona desert.
Yeah why I live in AZ too lol
As someone from SA who grew up near Mount Gambier, I find your pronunciation of the city really strange but as usual, incredible content. Thanks for shedding some light on my home!
the pronunciation threw me too, I rarely find a video about aus where they say things normally lmao
@@erinkate207 I KNOWWWW it hurts
Excellent video and the visualizations help so much. Keep it up!
My new favorite channel. Thanks for all you do. ❤
The population distribution of South Australia seems pretty normal for Australia. The next state to the east, Victoria, has about 6. 6 million people, 5 million of which live in Melbourne.
Lol, i just made pretty much the same comment, but using Perth and WA 👍🏼 go Aussie
i cant stop watching these tragic videos i dunno whats wrong with me
Thank goodness I’m not the only one😂😂
What's always scared me the most aside from the the tight spaces, imagine finding some kind of undiscovered fish/Eel in the cave and having no ability too swim away.
The ocean has spawned creatures straight out of hell. Last thing I wanna do is agitate them
This one hit me hard as one of three siblings. Imagining losing my siblings like that is just breaking my heart. Imagining dying in my brother's arms, knowing he is dying too... Jesus.
I was born and raised in Adelaide! Over the 5 years since I moved from Aus, I’ve lived across the UK, Europe and Middle East and not many non-Australians have heard of it, I love and get so excited seeing my hometown being spoken about on large platforms 😍 haha although admittedly these are very sad circumstances 😅
I wish I could laugh with ya if these stories werent tragic. 😳 yall be aware of your surroundings, folks!
12:01 these animations are awesome. Makes it way easier to follow the story. Thank you
To me, the most shocking part is that they were initially heading towards certain death, considering that the Narcosis can get so bad that they can experience violent seizures, which without any sort of help will lead do eventual drowning, because even if their mouthparts didn't fall off, there is no way they could properly exit the cave at such a state, and everyone else there was using the same equipment and gasses, so there was no chance for rescue.
Yikes. I used to cave dive many years ago- too too old now. I was certified. Cave diving was incredible but you had to be METICULOUS. I usually had 2 of everything. Quit cave diving after participating in a rescue very similar to this. I couldn’t sleep for days.
Cave exploring gone wrong is fascinating genre,
Gives me anxiety,panic and still I want it more
It's heartbreaking, scary and given me whole new phobia
This dude open up whole new genre for me😅
I live close to the Mount, our farm was always having sinkholes and as a child I was always terrified I’d fall into a cave and turn into a fossil like the animals in the cave near Naracoorte. There’s so many caves everywhere around the limestone coast.
Thanks for the interesting video, sir. I had heard about that sinkhole and it’s discovery, but not the diving incident. Very tragic.
While all these are absolute tragedies your videos are also absolutely riveting. Your narration is on point and please don't change that background music! If there's one thing these videos do it's to make us learn from the mistakes of others. I'm sure lives have been saved because somewhere in the world will be that one person who watches these and calls his friends to say they should call of the cave diving on the weekend and that he's pulling out of it. Keep up the good work!
It's not a tragedy when people are willingly doing stupid dangerous things. It's an inevitable conclusion.
Love your videos! Top ten if not top 5 out there! Love history and what ya do! Keep it up my man!
what other channels do you recommend for this type of content ? i am too loving these videos
@@phatkitkat6716 this content can't think of any rite this second if any i was just talking about how well its all put together! I watch a lot of different content but this is rite up there at the top!
Super cool seeing you improve your visuals and narration over time! Excellent video, keep it up man.
I honestly love this channel. You Rock dude. You tell a hell of a story
I've heard this story many times on YT but this is the best video so far. Excellent job 💯
I'm on a 10 hour flight rn, thank you for saving me 20 mins of entertainment!
How are you accessing the internet on aeroplane mode?
@@FronteirWolf I don't want to be a dick but have you been on an airplane in the last 10 years
@@FronteirWolf screw airplane mode, we're outlaws.
@BAYEWEBMEDIA
Or, more likely. The paid for on flight internet
Or one option.. download videos ahead of time..
Love these episodes!!!
for about 10 years, i wanted to get into cave diving. i worked with a dive master that used to go through caves and would talk about wakulla or some of the other popular places to explore. all of them try to convince you NOT to go cave diving because of how dangerous it is. this page did more to convince me....
Excellent coverage on this~
If this underground lake was a source of freshwater especially drinking water, I wonder how contaminated it became having 4 dead bodies floating in for a long time. Given this happened back in the 70s, I doubt anyone bothered to test it
Probably very little. It takes big agriculture, a big chemical operation, or large and improper sewage disposal for a lot of people, to mess up that much water.
Good question but keep in mind how many animals and fish die in or near water supplies.
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later

@@dove3853So literally not a free gift
Anyway Ill be boning demon chicks with Satan when my time comes
*Call me crazy. But if I’m diving and my air even gets past 30%, I’m just sending it back to where I belong - the atmosphere*
You are indeed crazy because if you only have 30% of air for ascension you did something very wrong. 😅
@publiovirgilio2238 lol I've never dived before I just assumed it's kinda common sense to uh save yourself some air
My favorite youtuber to listen while I draw posted! Wonderful! Helps give my art that extra emotional edge hehe
I am terrified of caves and diving period. But you look at some of these photos and dang it would be so cool to see that in person. beautiful.
