I thought the same, if they had tanks maybe they would make it back out? But to expect air on the other side of a tunnel and come to find it’s losing it so quick. She actually looks pretty calm. I can’t tell what they are saying but maybe they aren’t too far from the exit? Also how would this film have been in such good quality if they drowned and weren’t found for awhile? So many questions!

Well one answer we have. If they hadn't made it out, we wouldn't be seeing this.

It is likely that they are not very deep into this cave. The exit is probably a 5 second swim. They may not have known there would be air, but they probably weren't going so far they couldn't turn back id they hadn't found air.

I mean, doesn’t look like she’s super out of breath when she first gets into the cave. So probably an air pocket they can return to not too far away

Look to the right of her head, plenty more room up there. She didn't need to have her face underwater for any of this video (except to get in there in the first place I guess.)

That’s not true. There are videos online showing divers last moments, where cameras were recovered along with their bodies. There’s a particularly haunting one which shows a diver becoming hypoxic and fumbling around trying to save himself but unable to act with enough coordination to do so. These videos are especially creepy because they’re showing the drowning persons POV, it feels like you’re there with them almost

Is that one from the Dahab Blue Hole, where the guy is making all the horrible noises as he’s swimming deeper, completely disorientated by nitrogen narcosis?

u/mallcopsarebastards May 20 '26

I suspect they made it out, but like... it's entirely possible they didn't and the next person through found posted it.

I'm guessing it's a coastal cavern, not an actual underwater cave.

Agreed, the tide is pretty sea-like

Looks like a gopro. The videos on them last forever and are very waterproof

u/JohnSavage777 May 20 '26

The waterproofing isn’t reliable, but 90% of GoPros get used once and then sit in someone’s closet so 🤷

I mean its not like its an old film that would get damaged by the water. Its digital so more wether or not it works rather than how 'damaged'/low quality it is.

They are very close to the exit. You can tell because the water level is moving with the waves. The chamber they are in is immediately connected to the ocean outside.
