DIVERS REACT TO MR. BALLEN'S CLAUSTROPHOBIC HORROR STORY

DISCLAIMER: Before recording this video we reached out to Mr. Ballen and explained our intention with the video, and this was his response:

"For the upcoming reaction with Mike, just know I used what was publicly available to make the video and even though I may have embellished some details here and there to make the story more engaging, I certainly never intended to misrepresent Mike or anyone else in the video, hope he and you all see that! But please react however you see fit, I put it out there, so I can take whatever comes of that!"

We are sharing this because we want to make sure everyone watching this understands that we are BIG FANS of Mr. Ballen, and we understand that when he tells his stories he is relying on information available publicly. If that information is incorrect then of course his story will be incorrect. Everyone needs to understand that this is NOT his fault, and that we are NOT holding that against him.

We are huge fans of Mr. Ballen and we are very thankful that he agreed that this video should be recorded and released.

Month's ago I was watching a Mr. Ballen video titled Top 3 CLAUSTROPHOBIC horror stories | Part 1 and I was surprised to hear that one of the divers involved in one of these stories was our good friend and world-class cave explorer Mike Young.

I showed Mike the video and started asking some questions to gain more clarity into the story and that's when I learned that things didn't go down as told by Mr. Ballen.

So we knew we wanted to have Mike on the show to go over what really happened, and I was shocked to learn that the real story was even scarier than the one from Mr. Ballen's video!

Also, we’ve received a ton of comments regarding how we are mispronouncing MrBallen’s name, we hope this helps:    • Mr. B-Allen or Mr. Ballen?
