    Derek, I can't adequately express how much I appreciate the hard work you put into your videos. Your videography equipment is the best, allowing me, at age 77, to instantly go back in time, bringing back sensual memories so I can smell the musty rock, feel the cold water, feel my muscles strain, my arms and legs bend to reach all those places, and love the tight passages along with the vast chambers. So, so glad you do what you do! Good luck with your future work at Sistema Cheve. I envy you!
  • @3leutheros
    "This claustrophobia stuff is Youtube gold" 😆 Love your videos Derek!
  • @cavemanjosh7
    I know you don't get a lot of views but I appreciate the crap out of your videos! Thank you!
  • @CantrellCaving
    I love your videos. They’re part of why I started posting my trips! Your cinematography is amazing!
  • @kynan.bonnice
    These videos are so amazing. They have a certain awesomeness about them which I can’t explain 😂❤
  • @chop6604
    Thanks Derek , Amazing as always
  • @NUNYABEEZ
    Thank you so much for showing us this. Stunning
  • @syzygy2043
    Amazing cinematography as always Derek. Thanks so much for your time away from caving to film and edit this video. What a beautiful and fun cave. And just love that the group camped, socialised and had fund too. None of that here anymore in Australia...
  • @davei2938
    Hey man I’m from Veracruz but migrated to the us you should check it out there’s caves out there like no other I know spots that are really beautiful and undiscovered I’m in Dallas texas and the caves near here are good but they don’t compare! Good video stay safe out there.
  • @TheZabbiemaster
    Man I would be all over this cave, I'd take biosamples from every pool Biochemistry for the win
  • @xxwookey
    This all looks very civilised with a lot of fine passage. I can see why it's popular. What's the cave temperature? Ours is 2-3C so camping is rather grimmer than it looks here.

    Love your stuff. The claustrophboia comment made me chuckle. I'm obsessed/love big caves (parks) but the tight spaces make my skin crawl and brain boil. I started watching your video to try and fight that fear but its only worked a little. Those spaces you go through make me so uncomfortable.
