1. Gosh now I'm concidering to ask someone from my dive club to knock out my regulator at a safe depth on a dive of his choice without warning just so that I see how I would react…

2. 12:34 Steve relives the moment he believes will be his last- you can see the emotion on his face, abruptly: Woody “ yeah. So…”
   Omg😮 that was so jarring to me. C’mon man😂

3. So its not a case of how deep you get that causes nitrogen to build up, its the amount of time you're at those depths? Intriguing to learn that if you're just going down then right up again, there's no need for decompression stops.

4. You put the most stupid reaction photos on your thumbnails!

5. This content makes you all look great – thank you for sharing and stepping through this with us all. 🧡

6. Had the same situation. Same depth and temp. Just breathed off free flow. Then buddy breathed when tank emptied.

7. I recently went diving in Key Largo.
   I had new equipment that I never used in salt before (bp/w). I estimated the weight a couple lbs light on my first dive.
   Everything went well until my tank hit 1000lb.
   Then I became buoyant. Popped to the surface.
   Luckily it was only a 30 ft dive so no chance of deco, but I was quite a ways away from the dive boat with a strong surface current going sideways. My tech fins were crap when fighting current on the surface.
   And being 71 yrs old didn’t help.
   But I filled the wing, reg in my mouth, laid on my back and started kicking to the boat.
   I ended up zig zagging back to the boat with 250lb left.
   Dive buddy stay next to me the whole way. He was young and new to diving but had great training and instincts.
   That’s the only time I felt out of control and I’ve been diving since 1991.
   Seeing this video you posted really hit home.
   Next class will be a single diver class just so I can be better under water.
   Thank you guys for sharing this video with us.
   Very enlightening

8. Love your show guys

9. Did he say he runs a 7foot hose on his primary?!

10. great job Steve. Awesome to see you learn from it.
    Checks and practicing these things is so important

11. woody how many hats do you own??? 😂🎉 love them!

12. he's a very smart guy

13. Interesting fact: just before you drown you start swallowing the water as a last ditch effort to get rid of the water. I discovered this in twin dees the hard way during an exploration setup dive. When the tunnel vision finally went away and the color returned I realized my stomach was full of water. Not the best day, but not the worst either.

14. It's good that Woodie sometimes tells how much the distances are in metres and temperatures in Celsium.
    I'm from europre and the feet and Farenheit mesurments makes it dificoult to understand "how deep is deep" so to say..

15. Its humbling and stunning to listen to him explain. He had his damn o2 too?? Holy shit….for someone so experienced to make these mistakes. Theyre such simple mistakes but i can absolutely relate to the way he missed multiple things.. its fascinating and incredibly humbling…someone with so much more skill than me….makes me feel less awful about some of my dumb mistakes because at the end of the day, its just so human 😂 deep respect tor this man and the way he communicates it. Hopefully he encourages people to kindle more humility and prevent them from pushing too far! Thank you so so much

16. near death experience, today we say near unalive experience

17. Reflecting on his commentary and trying to put myself in his shoes. I think one of the most common things we do when we panic or are frustrated to calm ourselves down is to Breath deeply or slowly. I realize now and ask myself, how do I not panic if I can't breath? Respect to all divers out there that have been able to keep calm when things like this happen to you guys not to mention narcosis.

18. Honest question. Why are dives recorded with audio (I would think being underwater would negate the need for audio, but I see a lot of the dive footage have audio so I'm wonder if there is a purpose for that)

19. Woody: "donde". 😆 I love it!

20. This makes me think of you guys stressing the checklist be done on every single dive no matter the level of experience .💯

21. Out of laziness I used an old aqualung micra as my secondary because it was configured and today it free-flowed stuck open. Nothing but closing the left post would stop it. Ironically I had used it because I've gone through a handful of halcyon hp line failures after almost no time and this reg had something else. So back goes my regular apeks secondary. Pray I don't have another halcyon hp line failure despite their recall effort. Failures happen.

22. I hope this guy has kids because this is the kind of integrity, humility and courage that would make him an incredible role model!

23. This guy had classic symptoms of stress that can lead to panic,messing with his gear before diving they both should have carried out full Buddy checks on one another before the dive,I find it so hard to belive that this guy has made a thousand dives…………….and never forget Train hard…..,Fight Easy.

24. i love how he says 55F ( 15C) is freezing, iv never dove in warmer than 13C, coldest was -1C. i have ofcourse a drysuit with warm chlothes under so im not cold or tough. i just found it funny

25. On the topic of solo dive and ego…

    All I can say is I have yet to meet a human being who has never made a mistake in their life.

26. i like to watch these videos before playing subnautica.

27. You guys have the best channels on YouTube.

28. So question: your an in instructor with max students by your self no DM back up at 60 ft and you have a O ring blow out, which student will save you? isnt this the same thing as solo diving, do you really think any student will be able to save you?

29. This young man has my respect. He admitted he panicked and took measures to make sure he is a better diver. Also it was an ego check. Glad he is well

30. This was a yr ago, this is when Woody was trying to take to the internet and he was fumbling hard. I hope by now Gus has stopped the stupid hat/attention bullcrap. It's legit his wifes garden hat

31. These situations seem to justify the pool drills you see these soldiers doing. Whete their hands are tied and made to keep themselves alive. From just pressing off of the bottom to being assaulted by other officers having their gear stripped while under. Keep em coming guys!

32. Hey Woody, that hat has some 60's-70's vibes if you know what i mean 😀 Very nice hat! 🙂
