I Honestly Cannot Believe we Freedived in this CAVE!

Hello freediving family. It's way too windy today to take the boat out, so we're actually going to do some shore diving here in Exeter, and then after that we're going to do a bit of exploring into some underwater caves, which obviously, you know, makes my nipples hard. But let me just show you what the wind is doing and why we didn't take the boat out today. Get ready. It really, the wind just really just dropped off for a moment. Anyway, we're going to go, we're going snorkeling or diving in Turquoise Bay, which is like a bit of like a spot to go diving, snorkeling here in Exmouth. So I'll show you what it's like. It's going to be a good time. It's going to be very pretty. These three geniuses have decided it's time to get into Turquoise Bay and get a monster. We're just adventurous people. We're going diving. From where we hopped in the water, the reef was about a 200 or 300 meter swim. As we got further offshore though, we swam into this ripping current. Like it was really ripping hard. We were barely strong enough to swim against it. So we swam back to shore and then walked up the beach to a different patch of reef much closer to shore. While the guys get in the water, I'm going to send the drone up and see what I can spot and have a look. Turquoise Bay is known for being a really healthy and pretty patch of reef. Lots of fish, lots of coral everywhere. What I didn't know about Turquoise Bay was the sheer number of turtles that lived there. I think this is the highest volume of turtles I've ever swam with in my life. I even found a little sleeping turtle. It's just ducking down to hide from the wind. It's always really, really nice to just see healthy reef. To be absolutely honest, snorkeling around or playing around in shallow reef like that, even though it's really pretty, it's not quite my thing. I do obviously think the turtle is really cool, but I don't know. I tend to like a bit more of a dramatic and sometimes deeper landscape. But super pretty, super pretty, great snorkel spot. Recommend to anyone. But be mindful of the literally deadly current. If we didn't come back in that time, we would have been swept right out to the reef. So we're just driving down south to meet Reuben at the caves, and we've come across a little dingo. Cool, I've actually never seen a dingo in the wild. I've never seen one in the wild before. Yeah, really cool. We've just met Reuben. I'm going to hop in his car. He's going to take us to the cave now. See you boys there. Oh, it's windy. It's very windy. G'day Reuben. This is Reuben, our X-Mouth local tour guide extraordinaire. Hello, welcome. Going to show us some epic s***. I really should have worn shoes. What are your favourite words? Spelunky. Spelunk with us. Apparently the entrance to the cave is inside this tree. Whoa, get out of it. That's unreal. Reuben leaving us all for our deaths. Oh, nice. You just could hang on to those, yeah. Where do you think we're going next? No idea. This is like Reuben's mystery tour, right? He's like, where do you think the cave entrance is? Where do you think we're going now? What? I don't know if I can f***ing handle that. We just send it. Oh, f*** you guys. Can I say send it? Okay. Goodbye. How much further is the water table? How are you going to fit down here, Chris? Hey Reuben, am I too big for this? Look at my shoulders. Yeah, mate, you're not getting in there. Yeah, I don't fit, hey. It's my shoulders, man. So Chris has decided that he can't fit through the hole and he's going to stay here topside. So I'm going to go down now. And see what it's like. Do I fit down here easily? You're a unit, mate. Oh my gosh. All right, I'm going to put my foot down. Hold the fort for us, mate. We have just begun. Serious? Yep. All right, legends, I'm turning around. You calling it? Calling it. Yeah, how much further is it actually though? Like how much further is it legit? Have we just begun? Look, there's probably another three sections of this. All right, I'm going to turn around. There's every time I'm in this situation now, I just think of myself like kids. Aaron, Ellie, Ari, I love you. That's really full on down there. Like the rocks are all just, it's all like just rubble, tight squeezes. And I was just not comfortable. I've got kids, I've got to keep myself alive. And down below, Seamus, Dave and Ruben kept descending. So we have lost two of the guys. They have decided to turn around and we are continuing through. Trusting Ruben's expertise. Right now, questioning myself whether it was a smart idea. So we've just reached the water column, water table. It's hot and humid in here. So what's that, a blind endemic fish? Endemic to what? To X-Math. To just X-Math? Just to these systems here. Yeah, wow. We've been waiting here now for about 15 minutes and can't hear anything. Obviously, I assume they're okay. But you know, I love caves. I really do love caves, especially underwater caves. This is just a bit too gnarly for me. It's way too gnarly. All the rocks in here are covered in this like really smooth, almost clear stuff, something. If anyone knows what that is, please let me know in the comments. It's really like, it's really smooth. Getting a little bit deeper. So what's that thing there? The caterpillar. The thing in the water, yeah. Yeah, I don't know what it is. Cool, it's like fluorescent green. So it's been like well over half an hour now. And they're probably just having like the time of their lives swimming around with the blind fishies down there. But yeah, starting to feel a little bit of anxiety welling up. Up to the chest, pushing through. Pretty deep. We're at the end here. So I'll stop here and you guys can go ahead. Try not to stir up the water so you can see. Once you get to the end, put your goggles on and you'll see the tunnel system underground. And just stick your head in, have a look and see if you want to go in or not. So Dave's already pushed up. I'm going to go real slow, float through. I'll chuck a mask on and have a look. Just dumped my head torch, it makes fun. So I reckon it's going to be 20 seconds, 30 minutes. Giving us an estimated dive time of 30 seconds. So we know that if he doesn't come back within that time, that there's something wrong. I see he's turned. I can see his torch coming back towards me. He's coming up. That was... And this is the dive from Dave's perspective. This guideline was put here by a group of cave divers who had scuba dived this cave. The plan was for Dave to follow the guideline in for a few meters, have a look around and then turn around following the beam from Seamus's torch and the guideline to come out. You can see how stirred up the water is just from Dave's one dive in there, which basically meant that Seamus and Dave would only get one chance, one dive to look in the cave and then anything more would be too unsafe. That's sick. That's so cool. Water and it's not water breath. So we've reached the end of the tunnel. Got all the lads here. Stoke's backed up, he's high. And we're about to show you just how dark it is here. Ready? One, two, three. Let's get out of here. Successfully out of the water. Felt quite dark getting down here. There's blood all over the place from the recent rain. It's taking ages to get back out. It's just got to go really slow. We can hear their voices now, so feeling very relieved. Actually super keen to watch their footage and see what it was like down there. So Seamus, how was it? Mate, that was awesome. We sent it. Wow, I feel so much better now that I'm out of that cave. Good work team. All right, let's go home. Anyway guys, I hope you liked that video and I may as well give myself a little bit of a plug. If you are interested in learning how to freedive anywhere in Australia, get in touch. I'll put the link to our website down below where we just have everything going on. Courses and trips away and fun things and just extravaganzas. Hopefully I will see you in the water somewhere. Next week we go down to Coral Bay to look for tiger sharks. And we find them and a whole lot more. Oh legends, how was that? Thanks so much for watching guys. Don't forget to subscribe by pressing this little circular thing down here.
