He says he thinks
they were down somewhere
in the serpentine
tunnel area.
What kind of tanks
was he using?
Do you know about how much
air was still in them?
It was
about half.
We could anticipate one,
maybe two...
Yeah, maybe one more.
should do is go in there,
check this tunnel out.
If we don't find him there,
go back here,
look at this one.
If we still don't find him,
come on back here,
maybe go back around
and this side passage.
Cave diving is perhaps the most
potentially dangerous terrain
a scuba enthusiast
can explore.
There is a rigid set of rules
which must be followed
before one enters
this environment.
No amount of previous
open water experience
can prepare a person
for cave diving.
In this uncommon setting,
the hazards are many.
For example, when diving
in this confined area,
the cave ceiling restricts
direct access to the surface,
so a diver is even more
dependent upon his gear.
If an emergency such as
air failure occurs,
the only exit from the cave
is the way one came in.
Yet many divers unaware
of this logistical problem
fail to plan
for such an emergency.
When presented with this
potentially dangerous situation,
the scuba enthusiast must rely
totally on his dive light.
If the dive light fails,
or a diver's swimming technique
stirs up the cave's silty floor,
disorientation results.
The normal response
is panic,
followed by being trapped
in this underwater labyrinth,
and eventually drowning.
...rescue has been down there
for some time.
We will notify
some more divers,
just have them
on standby.
Joseph Ryan had just received
his diving certification.
He was a novice diver,
and yet had a false sense
of his own skills.
He believed that his
experience was great enough
to compensate
for any emergency.
In theory, he probably
did understand what to do,
but when he became separated
from his diving buddy,
he simply panicked.
At this point, he had
little chance for survival.
As he feared
for his life,
he neglected
to assess the situation,
and in essence, signed
his own death certificate.
To challenge the unknown
and to anticipate
a remarkable discovery
is one of the greatest
lures of cave diving.
Feeling a sense of safety
is an important factor
when one enters
an unfamiliar locale.
Given the sense
of security,
a diver must never
lose perception
of the many inherent
A balance of confidence
and humility must be achieved.
Realizing one's vulnerability
is an important part
of dealing with one's own
fear in any given situation.
If Joseph Ryan
had realized this,
he could have
saved his life.
There's a fine
line between
something being
stressful and challenging,
and far too often
because of a strong ego,
we all tend
to push ourselves.
This is a big boy sport,
you have to make up your mind
about the risk
ahead of time.
Once you get in a situation
where you regret it,
it's too late then.
a tendency to push themselves,
and perhaps even so
because some people
might even have
a fear of water itself.
John Ruskin once
described the snake
as a running brook
of horror.
There is little doubt the snake
for only their left lung has
survived the evolutionary processes
which have been necessary
to make snakes what they are,
just a long, narrow ribcage
with a head at the end.
any antibodies in their blood,
so a tick bite,
if it gets infected,
can kill a highly
venomous snake.
Yet most people fear this
seemingly vulnerable creatre.
Andy Ckolashas worked
with venomous snakes
for over 20years.
During this time, he has
conducted various studies
concerning the behavioural
patterns of rattlesnakes.
Approximately 100 people
die each year
as a result of this creature's
poisonous bite.
Since the rattle
snake's fangs
are not sited
when this snake
attacks humans,
it is sally notable
to get in a good bite,
so many people survive
by default.
So when Jerry Davis decided to do some
plumbing on his mother's kitchen sink,
he accidentally discovered
a rattlesnake's nest
while lifting up
the kitchen floorboards.
Before he could react,
he was bitten in the hand
and immediately
went into shock.
Within several seconds,
deadly Eastern Diamondbacks
were moving
about the kitchen.
The sheriff arrived
minutes later with Andy.
Jerry Davis needed
medical help,
but first the snakes
had to be removed.
It was by sheer luck that
this unfortunate incident
happened in
Andy's hometown.
Since the snakes had
surrounded the fallen boy,
Andy had no choice but to
capture the venomous creatures
while they were
still alive.
Equipped with a special
snake stick,
Andy had to measure
his every move.
An Eastern Diamondback
is capable of striking
a distance of two-thirds
its own body length,
so one wrong move
could cost Andy his life.
Keep your eye on
that big one, Deputy,
if you will, please.
Okay.
Jerry Davis' unconscious body,
Andy had to
quicken his pace.
Within minutes,
the boy would die
if emergency medical procedures
could not be performed.
It looks like it's trying
to get away from us.
I don't care, let me
get over here real quick.
It looks like
I'm not needed here...
This is the biggest one
right here.
It's a biggy.
Watch yourself.
This is a big
rattlesnake here.
This is probably the one
that bit that guy,
look at the fangs.
How is he?
I'm not feeling
a pulse just yet.
There it is.
Let me go outside and
get a hold of the paramedics.
Alright.
Okay, I'll look in here
for some more snakes.
The timing could
not have been more perfect,
as Andy was capturing
the last rattlesnake,
the paramedic unit
arrived on the scene.
In the United States,
only three percent
of snake bite victims
who have received
anti venom, die.
Since Davis had only been
bitten on the hand once,
the paramedics felt they
could save the boy's life.
As the boy's frantic mother
was consoled by the sheriff,
the professionals performed
their life-saving task.
After viewing an incident
such as this,
it becomes easy
to understand why most people
have a fear
of snakes.
As Mrs. Davis viewed
her son's hand,
she immediately associated
this horrible experience
see from that moment on.
Fortunately for her son,
worse than it actually was.
A few days later, he
was released from the hospital
with a clean
bill of health.
A bad experience
such as the one Jerry Davis
and his family underwent
with a strong
psychological fear.
There was fright,
there was pain,
then momentary panic,
and even the fleeting
thought of death.
Although these emotions
may have been warranted,
the situation
was resolved.
