Scuba diving & HOT GEYSERS in Yellowstone National Park

Very few people have gotten to see the underwater spires and geysers in Yellowstone Lake. I almost didn’t do it...

Make sure to check the superintendents compendium for Yellowstone National park for current scuba diving rules and regulations.

Great videos, more additions to my diving bucket list. 😊
Ice Diving is AMAZING. You are already use to cold water, dry suit diving. It is an overhead environment, but you have dove cenotes, so, ENJOY! 😊

It might seen counter intuitive, but for sidemount I find hose clamps faster to put on and adjust than cam bands. You just need a 5/16" nut driver, either a dedicated one or as part of a multibit driver like the Klein 32561 stubby screwdriver, and a tape measure. Once you have it setup for a type of tanks write down how far down the tank was proper and you can recreate it in minutes.

wow really cool stuff! I'm a big fan of alpine lake diving :)

[richardstratford]

I had so much fun on this dive. Double whammy with Idaho Dive pirates and you! ¡viva Azul!

[jaketschida]

Thank you for the video! A couple of us talked about heading out there and hitting a couple of spots!

Looks like a great time too bad i couldn't come on that trip. My summer has been packed with craziness

[markspencer]

I was on my way to do this dive with Benjamin and Nikki, but by car had problems and I had do turn around and go back home. I was sad that I couldn't do the dive, but even more sad when I found out that you were there and I missed a chance to meet you in person. I was able to do the dive a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Someday you should dive the Firehole River.

Hola… totally enjoyed this scuba & travel video! 👍

The opening scenes of Yellowstone and the second dive with the underwater geysers were AWESOME!👍

I have only seen Yellowstone in winter from the air flying into Jackson Hole… ⛷️

Would enjoy joining your Mexico dive, but headed to Baja next week… diving Cabo Pulmo, a hammerhead 🦈 dive at Gordo Banks and a night dive at the Cabo Marine Park…

Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽 ☀️🌵😎

Adios y Buena Suerte…

[Dboy]

Great video! Where else you would like to dive which is special like this?

[davidscott]

Sweet dive. Hope to do it soon. Just wish that the videos didn't have any swearing in them so I could share them with more friends and family.

I'm glad you had two great dives this week, Potty mouth! 🤣 I almost got head butted by a grey nurse today and I didn't even know about it till afterwards!!! 😱😂. After 1000+ dives at this site, night, day, early, late, I've never seen a Grey Nurse at this site in the 36 years I've been diving there. For it to miss me by such a close amount really shock me. 18"inches at most!!! I'm used to Nurse turning away and swimming off so for him to swim on by my face really surprised me. Anyway, enough about my dive. I'm glad you are getting in the water often. Where to next?

[walkjivefly]

You do get to do some interesting looking dives!

[willsmooth]

30 min surface swim! Yeah idk about that haha I’m very lazy when it comes to diving haha I do my working out at the gym daily and scuba dive to relax haha 30 min fast pace swimming doesn’t sound too I’d be down to do this dive with my dpv ❤️👀

[fabherod]

Maybe the best thing about your channel, is that you don't act like the "diver-who-knows-evreything". I've met several divers like that during my dive trips and they can make you hate diving!!!

[billendres]

Very interesting vid. Had a little of everything, loved it 😊. How'd you like sidemount with steel cylinders compared to aluminum?

[edwardwhitehill]

Nice informative video. Heading to Yellowstone (first time) next July for a 3 day youth camping trip…and I’m a diver so now I’m totally interested in diving while I’m there. Is there a local shop or group you would recommend I contact so I can coordinate a guide and cylinders?

Thanks again 🤙

"Largest high elevation lake in North America" - Does Lake Tahoe, at 6200 ft and 1.5x the surface area, not count?

[dylansmith]
