BlueWorldTV is one of the best channels. It's fun. It's educational. It's not depressing or soooo-the-drama. It's positive and uplifting. It's not just "look at me". Each episode actually tells a little story. It's something any from ages 1 to 100 can enjoy. Thank you! Production values are amazing, as always.

Edd's buoyancy control is absolutely spot on. Great job !

[FintasticFilms]

That cave is wild! I love watching you and Edd dive together!

[Garrett__H]

This has to be one of my most favorite Blue World episodes. The imagery is absolutely beautiful. That combined with a great score and watching Edd's calmness with perfect trim and buoyancy was just so enjoyable to watch. Thank you Blue World team!

Yep, those catfish were looking to munch cave salamanders. Thanks for the virtual dive!

[elaineb]

Cute wee salamander there!!! And I bet you could never get bored looking at all those rock formations!!!

[andrecandrade]

Edd’s trim, buoyancy and propulsion are perfect!

[OnyxLeviathan]

I found some of these salamanders while surveying bat caves in northwestern Oklahoma! There was a super low ceiling and knee-high murky water. We saw some movement and carefully lifted one up to investigate! It's actually up on my channel (maybe 10 videos deep). Love the videos and glad you got to experience them!

[lydialeigh]

Love these longer videos, Jonathan. Awesome cave dive - beautifully shot!

[SteveJian]

You guys are really great to cover a long distance deep into the cave for us. Thumbs up!

[Mrveescuba]

[buckyplayz]

Awesome. My son just went to JB just after Helene rode by us, , he Got to meet Edd. Got me a shirt too!!! Looks like a great dive guys. Another awesome segment.

[jasenanderson]

Totally amazing video, awesome in every way. What a dive! Thanks for sharing that experience guys. Cave dwelling creatures always amaze me how they can survive in such seemingly barren places. Your technique was on point, very well executed, I must say. Can't wait for the next adventure.

[faizanrana]

ed sorenkson and johnathon bird is the best team! You guys should come here to dive in the river thames, you might find some really old things from london

Omg it was so awesome. Great visibility of water and so much under water places to see. Love ❤️ it

[markwilliams]

I love these videos you put out! I drill wells in Florida so this gives me an idea of what it looks like when we hit a void and the bit falls. The only other way I get to see them is if I go to a cave to walk through.

Cave diving is a thrill,
My heart pumping a thrill.
Adventures in the dark,
In search of salamanders spark.

Into the depths of the unknown,
To explore what's never been shown.
Slippery rocks and dark walls,
The salamanders darting around the halls.

Beautiful colors so bright,
In the darkness they are a sight.
Staring in awe,
At creatures so small.

The cave is so calm,
My heart beats like a bomb.
Exploring with no sight,
Is an amazing delight.

Salamanders so wise,
They show me the way through the night.
Cave diving is a thrill,
My heart pumping a thrill.
