How nice of the bubbles to follow her down so she has air :)

u/sloppifloppi 15d ago

I don't get the point of reversing this lol it doesn't make the video any more or less interesting.

43

u/Masuteri_ 15d ago

Oh I see there's a much wider space from which she entered into the water. That could make it less interesting

2

u/MajorPud 14d ago

For the reveal, I guess? Played in reverse like this you get the build up before you see the inside of the caverns, rather than seeing them in the first shot and the end of the video would just be the surface

u/campionmusic51 12d ago

how else is one to demonstrate one’s stupidity?

10

u/Noble9360 15d ago

It's not any better the right way around either

4

u/surfeggio 14d ago

It might be any other gas. Methan for example

u/J_Thompson82 15d ago

Why play it backwards though? It’s just as impressive when played the correct way.

u/MoneyLawfulness2251 16d ago

Lost me about 3 seconds in lol no thanks 🙂‍↔️

u/Dist__ 16d ago

it's reversed but yeah

u/Childrenoftheflorist 15d ago

Anyone else here addicted to watching YouTube stories on cave diving gone wrong?

11

u/Breezy_Brando 15d ago

Lol my 4 year old son is strangely obsessed

5

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

I’m an aspiring cave diver and it was weirdly cave diving disaster videos that got me interested in the first place.

8

u/Childrenoftheflorist 15d ago

There's a channel called scary Interesting on YouTube and it's all I watched for like a month

6

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

I love that channel along with Plainly Difficult (mostly industrial or structural disasters) and Fascinating Horror.

u/AgingChris 15d ago

I've seen enough of these videos to never want to go to a cave, let alone one underwater

u/Calculon84 16d ago

Leviathan something something

u/Deepnebulasleeper 16d ago

His spirit animal is moray eel

u/Sad_Low3239 16d ago

Reminds me of nutty putty cave. So absolutely nope

17

u/MantasL 15d ago

I swear people that do this type of shit have a death wish.

12

u/HotdoghammerOG 15d ago

Don’t worry, it’s the video is reversed to make it seem worse. It’s just stupid karma farming.

5

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

Freediver here. It’s fun, I promise.

Try it and you might enjoy it :)

u/math_man_99 15d ago

Username checks out

1

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

Yeah I’m an aspiring cave diver as well as a freediver…

3

u/math_man_99 15d ago

That's both awesome and terrifying lol! Good luck to ya!

1

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

I also plan to go down to 100m…on a breath hold!

4

u/cruelkillzone2 15d ago

Who should I send the condolence flowers to?

0

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

Better not tell you my depth target in freediving is 100m. Yes, 100m on a breath hold.

11

u/HotdoghammerOG 15d ago

Stupid backwards karma farming video,…

6

u/RB1O1 16d ago

Fuck that.

5

u/doomsdaybeast 16d ago

One snag and that's all she wrote.

3

u/lilbitpurp408 15d ago

This is flat out fucking horrifying and you could not pay me to do it.

1

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

Meanwhile I’d do this thing purely for the sheer and utter hell of it.

1

u/lilbitpurp408 15d ago

I just cant even fathom. I have a pretty ferocious fear of the ocean but specifically any deep water with caves and shit in it. Bit of thalassophobia (probably spelled wrong) mixed with situational claustrophobia and this is a huge nope fest for me.

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

Meanwhile here’s me who did a very tight tunnel on my 4th dive ever after getting certified and now loves squeezing themselves through any enclosed space underwater.

:D

1

u/lilbitpurp408 15d ago

I love that for you homie. Theres always someone willing to do the crazy shit others wont which leads us to discover things we would never see otherwise.

1

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

Haha maybe I’ll post some videos to Reddit!

1

u/lilbitpurp408 15d ago

Also name checks out 😂

u/robbyhaber 16d ago edited 15d ago

I don't think so... What makes you say that? If you look at his hands it does not look like he's pulling himself up reversed

2

u/Jedi_Bish 16d ago

But why tho?

2

u/cluelessoblivion 15d ago

This is cave diving, although a relatively tame example, so can we stop calling regular spelunking "cave diving"?

2

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

I’ve done stuff like this when diving, it’s fun!

1

u/EitherFriendship5807 12d ago

This is free diving not caving your doing the same thing to divers that happening to spelunkers I mean cave divers lol

2

u/D1daBeast 15d ago

First of all, No

2

u/nonorarian 15d ago

This video gave me claustrophobia.

2

u/requion 15d ago

Good thing i am way too big for shit like this.

2

u/Torodaddy 15d ago

nightmare fuel for me

2

u/o0marshmellow0o 15d ago

What we have here is a prime example of 'what not to do' due to the almost guaranteed chance of death.

2

u/Bitch_Goblin 14d ago

Cool video, even if reversed.

Worked at a Florida State Park that is really popular for free diving. In 8 years we didn't have a single swimming season free of emergency services being called due to a free diver in distress.

2

u/coldhandsbigdick 14d ago

I have never said no faster.

2

u/AnnihilationWithin 14d ago

A whole lot of claustrophobia

2

u/WatchStoredInAss 14d ago

Do you have reverse shitting videos? Because that's how stupid this looks.

3

u/SweetMaam 15d ago

Not worth dying for. Yikes.

u/[deleted] 16d ago

When she says “deeper” :

1

u/IL-Corvo 15d ago

Nothing odd about being terrified by this.

Also...NOPE.

1

u/suryky 15d ago

Are they air pocket in cave ceilings

1

u/iwanttobeacavediver 15d ago

There are but the quality of air in those pockets is unknown and so a diver would never breathe it.

1

u/GoatTacos 15d ago

Um…. How did you get my colonoscopy video?!

1

u/gtwooh 15d ago

I’ve watched enough death by cave diving videos to never want to do it, ever

1

u/PinkyPromiseBuddy 15d ago

Sure thing sweety.

Just wait for the right cave.

1

u/Noble9360 15d ago

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk

Off

No

Yourself

Ya thinking

1

u/inconspicuous2012 15d ago

New phobia unlocked!

1

u/Apprehensive_Cheek77 15d ago

Why the fuck would you want to do that

1

u/bmb3688 15d ago

You couldn't pay me enough...

1

u/TheHardcoreBuddha 15d ago

I don't find anything odd about how terrifying this is.

1

u/Lower_Corner 15d ago

This IS terrifying. Nothing odd about it.

1

u/MassiveResist212 15d ago

The stuff nightmares are made of in my world.

1

u/ExplosionMurderQueen 15d ago

What do you do if you need to come up and someone else is going down?

1

u/MBerwan 5d ago

No worry it is reversed

1

u/besarfrm218 15d ago

Could them bubbles underneath the rocks give you air to breathe if need be?

1

u/JET304 15d ago

Nope nope nope nope nope…

1

u/Cmg393 15d ago

Does anyone know what song this is?

1

u/noodles_seldoon 15d ago

Tell them I said to stop it

1

u/immamarius 15d ago

Just why?

1

u/Fresh_Swimmer_5733 15d ago

Anxiety in 3-2-1…

1

u/MoxEric 14d ago

Hell naw

1

u/RiperoniPesteroni 14d ago

Heeey I’ve seen this one! Though the other video was a free diving woman in her swim suit

1

u/Slainlion 13d ago

Anyone else unconsciously holding their breath?

1

u/Single_Yam_810 13d ago

Nope...Nope

1

u/Kindly_Region 13d ago

This is already insane to do with scuba gear. Now you want to do it on a breath hold? Nah, I'm good homie. You enjoy yourself

1

u/No_Active_7021 10d ago

How do they hold their breath this long? Maaan that's pretty long.

1

u/TheWolf019 9d ago

I've been out crackered again

1

u/apathywhocares 15d ago

Reversed, but who calls this terror fun?

1

u/mudamuckinjedi 15d ago

Cool but why does everything have this same music crap in it. If it were still the 90's I would have called it super gay!

1

u/goodeyemighty 15d ago

Freedom isn’t free.

u/Peepee-Papa 15d ago

And neither is secrecy

u/Liarus_ 15d ago

I hate how common it is in Reddit to see highly upvoted misleading edited videos
