  • fishing with scuba gear is illegal in most countries, you are obviously a big pussy.

  • @flarez wel going night diving in a cave with scuba gear dat does not make you a pussy

  • Comment removed

  • You wear your snorkel to conserve tank air if you are surface swimming.

  • Youtubers are the experts with every subject. No exceptions.

  • NatGeo, you never stop teasing me with your footage

  • Why are they wearing their snorkel in cave diving!!

  • every divers fear

  • dont panic, calm down, regulate your breathing, continue. ur fine.

  • @bigwowgamer Either way, I'll take a DAYTIME dive--it eases my mentality.

  • @MATUSOWNED

    I've actually done both a daytime, and night time. and I must say that I thought night time was a bit different, but there were so many fish.

  • darwin is almost proven right again. Dont cave dive unless cave trained....simple, makes no difference what level ow diver you are none of it prepares you for cave diving

  • @adamrecon this should be the #1 comment. I just got my open water and I cave - I would never ever ever mix the two.

  • i don't understand why many people froun upon using scuba gear whilst spear fishing

  • I have been to 30 meters for 17 minutes. Do you know what a meter is? How old are you? Have your 12 year old friends told you this? 60 ft? omg And to top that they are Dive Master Level Advanced? You know there is only Dive Master 1 and Dive Master 2. Dive Master Advanced? When it comes down to it you don't have a clue what your talking about and you should stop. Yeah I feel hostile, your ignorant and can't listen to someone who tells you real facts.

  • @ptrhcp

    This is really funny to me, you keep calling me ignorant, but you are obviously ignorant to the fact that you have been trolled.

  • @jepuskar Give up little kid.

  • In Soviet Russia, scuba divers trap caves.

  • I don't understand...why doesnt the camera man help them get out?

  • @jepuskar there was no camera man when the incident actually happend. They just re-inacted it to show what happend you know?

  • @elitecssplayer

    Dude I don't know...that looked pretty real to me. Looks like he was breathing that Nitrous Oxide stuff too. Wonder if that contributed to anything..... we may never know.

  • Comment removed

  • @ptrhcp

    Dude, I don't know what you're on...you must have gone to the dentist and got on some of that Nitrox stuff. Canned air? Canned air is used to clean out my pc from dust. I know people that do advanced diving, they even go past 50 feet. They use this mix of oxygen, nitrous oxide, and triglycerides. They carry like 20 tanks with them...each filled with the gas they need. The triglycerides are the most important so they can stay down for over 20 minutes at 50 feet.

  • @ptrhcp

    Wow man..you're hostile and you swear to. I think you need to get one of those volt meters and check to see how your tanks are charged up. I bet they are charged to 3000volts...lolol. Pwned!!

    Congratulations on being a diver, guess that means you have a wealth of knowledge on diving uhh? How deep have you been? My friends sometimes go all the way down to 60 feet...they even stayed there for 45 minutes one time. One is a Master Diver Level Advanced.

  • @jepuskar NO WAY!? 60 feet?! hahahaha

  • @Tarzan07330

    I don't understand...what's so funny? 60 feet is very deep. My high schools swimming pool goes down to 12 feet.

  • @jepuskar it's just that you make that sound like it's sooo far down there. it's really not that deep, dude.

  • @Tarzan07330

    Are you sure? I don't even think scientists have explored down to 60 feet.

  • @jepuskar why do you troll on youtube? it's pointless. i'm done with you troll

  • @Tarzan07330

    Well that is not much fun. hmph

  • @jepuskar Its a reconstruction.

  • @TheOrangeMickey

    Doesn't look like plastic surgery to me. This looks like one of them there Cenotes that you find in the Outback.

  • @jepuskar they say sotry and discovery make film about that,

  • @lorenkolic Santum is not about this, and so loosely based off of anything its more of a compilation of things that have gone wrong in cave diving. The filmmaker who was present gave an interview where he explained that no one even ended up dying in that event. Hollywood just needs bodies to sell movies and none of the people who almost all are still alive to this day would want to be shed in the light of having made foolish mistakes so it was a movie that spins in many non-associated events.

  • some real stupid morons... jump off of a flying air-craft without any parachutes on would be the next option of your IQ level... that shall also put an end to your miserable existance...

  • "we wuz going back lookin for the big fish" beautiful rythm

  • Why did he "leave his buddy" to stay and "look at his compass" that was pure stupidity in my opinion.. You can look at your compass while swimming, also its not much use if its a "labyrinth" as they describe it..

    Glad he made it out, but not noticing your going into a cave.. really?

    If your diving in unfamiliar surroundings you should make a risk assessment/site assessment before you dive.. maybe dive there in the day before the night if your not with someone who knows the site

  • lol sounds fishy

  • they were safe... rofl he is telling the story

  • Dont know bout you guys but if i was to do any caving i think i would use reinforced lines, chemical stics, spare mask, backup tourches, twin set, side slungs, have some kind of surface cover ect

  • @97Arran Yeah same here. I don't know why you would do something like that and not give your self an easy way to find your way back. Bunch of morons, but good they got out I guess. It doesn't take a genius to know not to leave your diving partner. Seems like some rope and some light sticks is a small cheap price to pay for some certainty on the path back out of the place. I imagine they thought of that if they ever went out again.

  • He should have not left his dive buddy that is one of the first rules they teach you,they also should not have been diving in that area without the proper training not just their lives what about the rescue teams

  • National Geographic???

    More like National Enquirer...

  • Well damn, no ending to the video. Who posted this teaser?

    They were saved. The chickenshit buddy made his way out, called 911 and Gant was rescued after 18 hours of having his nose stuck into an air pocket. He was hallucinating by the time rescue arrived, and thought his rescuers were angels.

    TVA lowered the lake level to dry out the cave, wasting a quarter-million dollars in hydroelectricity, Plus, the area was posted No Trespassing - $25,000 fine. The two divers were shitbirds.

  • I hoped they were saved, bless their hearts. :-(

  • You should always use a line when cave diving.

  • They didn't lay a line because they didn't take the near by caves into account, showing no real environmental assessment before the dive. Even so a seasoned diver will always be weary of their surroundings and carry a spool, even a short one with them in case of such emergencies. His second huge mistake was leaving his dive buddy, extremely irresponsible had he stayed he might have been able to surface with his friend avoiding all of this, kudos on the other guy for bailing out though...

  • What's even stupider is they were going spearfishing at night...I am an avid spearo, and love night diving, but wouldn't mix the two....and especially in an area I don't know much about....spearfishing at night near a cave.....pretty suicidal....

  • In am surprised! Not really! The first rule before entering a cave is lay a line! That when when the silt is kicked up or you become disorientated you turn around and it's hand over hand all teh way to the exit. PADI DM 647814

  • they didnt know that they were going into a cave

  • PS

    If your navigation skills are poor, getting lost?? wandered into a cave without knowing it - I think not. I have over 200 dives and I have always asked people/someone about the dive site I am about to dive.

  • Indeed. You don't go into a cave by misstake. Damn it must have been dark then. they are just lying there heads off to seam less stupid.

  • Diving brownwater at night it's not hard to occasionally get turned around, even momentarily, which is all it takes. I've been in the lakes in TN and KY and there are many caves in that region, some of which aren't documented or known well enough to learn about from other divers. It's not like diving coasts around commercial resorts/operations where sheer numbers have amassed substantial knowledge of dive spots. As to snorkels, they're handy in shallow water noodling/spearfishing, even w/scuba.

  • I can agree with you that it doesn't take much to get turned around,however leaving your dive buddy?? that is scary stuff. As for the snorkels they are handy at times and it is a PADi rule however if a person goes into overhead environments no one takes a snorkel - too easy to get caught on things.

    Too much of cost to not be aware of your surroundings they are very lucky divers - thank goodness

    Peace

  • depends on were you dive, im from denmark and i dive here and in norway, i dive a lot wrecks and some of them is upside down so you have to be carefull not to penetrate by accident, because of the angel one dives in you dont look up much. i can understand this happend and i dont think his a bad diver because i couldnt fin his way out. But i agree they should have known about the caves.

  • I agree - amateurs!! First they are wearing snorkels - in confined environments you never where a snorkel - too easy to get caught on things. Second no line!! how stupid is that!! 3rd leaving your dive buddy. Where were they trained??

    Diving is safe as long as your ego doesn't get in the way.

    even dive rules of thirds for your air - stupid stupid divers

  • LOL this is not the actual footage

  • okay these guys are amateurs. every rookie diver knows that if you enter any confined space you bring a line so you can follow it out. a tank of air usually last a little longer than an hour with an experienced diver so you would do 30mins in one direction and 30 mins back, not an hour in the same direction! finally, you NEVER split up with your partner.  these morons are lucky they arent fish food.

    diving is safe if you arent an idiot.

  • If you had actually LISTENED to the video, they had wandered into the cave without knowing they were actually IN a cave.

    At night this would be pretty easy to do -- assuming there are no GO BACK Reaper signs posted.

  • Actually, you should never use more than 1/3 of your or your partner's or any of your team member's air before turn point when diving in overhead environment.

    If you only have 1/2 of air capacity and your partner suffers a major failure with his/her gear near the turning point and is forced to share your tanks, you won't make it back to surface.

    Diving in caves or under ice is fascinating experience but I really recommend even a basic Cavern training. And you should never do it with single tank.

  • @ruder06 i wouldnt exactly cal it safe even if you do it properly

  • Lucky if its real

  • isn't there suppose to be sharks in those caves?

  • where is the rest of the story?

  • thats a scary feeling ...is there more footage /

  • "as we was ascending." Idiots.

  • ohh shit :D crasy :D dive in the day :D

  • fuck that!

  • stay out of caves.

  • learn how to speeel

  • because this is a cave so you can have air pokets in ther sume where see.

  • This story should be on "I Shouldn't Be Alive"

  • oh right. heh xD

  • well.. its always dark in the deep parts of the ocean.

  • obviously... hes telling the story...

  • Wow. Clearly you are uneducated.

  • yeah...but would you really want to know?

  • failure

  • nonetheless, i would never swim/fish/dive in the dark

  • stupid stupid stupid...never leave your buddy...and use a dive line retards

  • they didn't do anything wrong. you don't always need to dive with a dive line and they were together, they never left their dive partner.

  • you have to watch the rest of it on their channel.

  • Where? Can't find it :/ How do I do?

  • you hafta ask your cable provider to air that episode. we did ask them and they allowed it.

    in their channel not on their site!

  • Hmm, ok. I understand

  • lol;; if a map existed from the start why in the world did they go in without it;;

  • where the hell is the rest of it? wtf?

  • What about a guide line guys?

  • first moutful of water, panic and breathe fast, split up!!!

    these guys are damn lucky is all i can say

  • Where's the rest of it??

  • Feel for you never underestimate water is the answer even when you think you are a expert. Kill you every time.

  • wow... i'm frightened to dive :P

  • did thay find him????

  • Yeah he was the one talking since the beginning

  • Actually no, the person being interviewed is a zombie.

  • LOOOOOOOL

  • that's why PADI teaches cave divers to use a rope for a guide. duh!

  • PADI doesn't teach divers, they take their money and hand out C-cards. Put Another Dollar In.

  • You must have had a lousy instructor. Our instructor conducted classes like military training.

  • When does this air? I want to see the rest. This video does not say the airtime like other NGC videos do.

  • When does this air? I want to see the rest. This video does not say the airtime like other NGC videos do.

  • Another video that leaves us hanging. Was the man recovered or not???

  • God your stupid, didn't you notice him telling what happened to himself, obviously he made it out. These are only short clips from shows anyway so more often then not the clips are going to leave us hanging.

  • okay.. the guy is talking about what happened to him. Please tell me you aren't saying you think he recorded what happened BEFORE it happened

  • I died once.....No big deal.

  • working out ur fingers right Loperis? with all the video games, lol i guess u can beat him in thumb wrestling LMAO, yes like a real man u r.

  • Scary. What were they doing out there so early in the morning?

  • must be soooo freaky!

  • yeah your real macho huh Loperis, i guess your the new chuck norris now right? Youve probably been in WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq. Youve probably lost oxygen on the moon and lived. You have probably died for 20 minutes and be brought back to life. Hey, im naming them, then you must have done it ;). Its also funny that some "Macho-Super-Tough-Guy", 60% of your videos are you playing VIDEO GAMES.

  • lol

  • *shivers*

  • What kind of comment is this? if u drowned already once then y the fuck ur alive. Did u slip again from ur mom's pussy?

  • to loperis:

    even if your the hulk muscles wont save you from drowning...douche

  • wow...

    Loperis= majorrr fagg

  • aks;djflkasdja;fl It makes me uncomfortable to watch this even though they're alive.

  • i hope this never happens 2 me that sux

  • Well, luckily this video isn't about you, Loperis.

  • hah 14 in BEAST

  • They didn't follow a rope in?

    WTF?

  • My worst nightmare: Ending up in a situation like this and having to drown alone in cold dark dirty water.

    My second worst nightmare, you ever posting again.

  • LOL. Nicely put.

  • dead serious? OMG, I'm barely 18! i know nothing about diving, especially night diving! but i can kick ass because im a man. yeah!

    props for being more manly than we are. also a lot stupider

  • stop trolling

  • you need a string spool for cave diving !!!!!!

  • wow ill be scared to shit...

  • Lake Nickajack as in the one in Tennessee?

  • Yes.

  • wow, that sooo scaryy!

  • that was what i was thinking!

  • at 3:53 it looked like he was having a seizure or jacking off

  • Oh my gosh...that would be so scary, especially since they are so deep they can't see the surface.

  • common sense...cmon! nighttime does not equal fishing....geez

  • I agree with that!!!!!

  • actually people go nighttime fishing just as much as they do in the day...

  • i like this new look

  • same

  • cool

  • Scary I bet.... Great video...

    5 stars

  • where is the ending??

  • WOW - this would def be one of my worst nightmares that's for sure!!!

    =)

  • ye same

  • yeah, I've never liked caves (im somewhat claustrophobic) and to be trapped in an underwater one would just make it all the worse.

  • yeah... where is part 2? I searched the link in the description. Only leads to this same short video.

    I might unsubscribe from national geographic channel. They often post 1/2 stories. Interesting stuff but ends up being a waste of time

  • I would be scared shitless

  • Is there a part 2 to this story ?

  • thats an effing scarry situation

  • thats an effing scarry situation

  • lol yep

  • its dangerous but for viewers you've this guys! i admire all of you guys

  • This is why I don't go cave diving. Even pros get killed doing that.
