Good enough reason to stay the fuck out of the water.

[risingyeast]

i think i am confused as to why he died. Why did he not just dump weight and surface?

[BleedingHeart23]

From Wikipedia, Url is found in video description.

"The Blue Hole is notorious for the number of diving fatalities which have occurred there earning it the sobriquet, "World's Most Dangerous Dive Site" and the nickname "Diver's Cemetery". Accidents are frequently caused when divers attempt to find the tunnel through the reef (known as "The Arch") connecting the Blue Hole and open water at about 60m depth, 60m is beyond the PADI recreational diving limit (40m) and nitrogen narcosis begins to have an influence. Divers who miss the tunnel sometimes continue descending hoping to find the tunnel lower down and become increasingly narcotised."

I'm curious about one of their comments near the end: "Here he becomes entangled with the sand".

Entangled? With sand?

[risingyeast]

yeah, i read the wiki before I posted, and I still don't understand. My dad is PADI certified and my brother is an underwater welder, they both know the risks so stuff like that doesn't happen. Being an instructor, I fail to see why he felt the need to go to 300ft and die?

I thought the same thing. As you can see the translation was loose at best. I'm sure it was vegetation or something. My question is how they got the video? Was it a transmitted feed or did they have to go down to get it? Also, if they did go down, what about an autopsy?

[GIANTBURRITO]

actually narcosis, starts around 30 meters deep. According to wikipedia its like getting drunk. Deeper u go the more drunk u get. 90 meters deep is like being crazy drunk

[claas900]

look at the clock on the cammara

[aznlilboiz]

look at the clock on the cammara
3~4 mins...

[silenthill22]

Remembering the deep sea creature vid a while back eating stuff I'd hate to die down there. ewwww

I was entangled with my beer pondering the same thought.:drinkup:

Lost in translation I suppose.

[VAnilla_gorilla434]

i hate the water i hate the ocean and i hate lakes i hate not being able to see to the bottom but thats a horrible way to die
and i agree with the guy at the end.........FUCK
definitly not worth it

[bantexkaa]

drowning must be one of the worst ways to die, drowning comes after execution. Only the thought about that you KNOW you're about to die must be the worst way to die

[loadrunner]

Why they never listen:"Always dive with two, below 20 feet" It was deep, he went too deep. so he couldn't breath, the water was pushing the air out of his lungs.

[Josh85]

video is too long, my internet is too slow.

:(

I went for my PADI diving certificate but couldn't equalize, was supposed to go back two weeks later to try again but couldn't be fucked.

A part of me knows to keep out of the water if I can, I dunno why but I just have a hunch... I just -know- not to go there, it's like... bad karma for me.

[thrive]

You can never get so deep so that the water pushes the air out of your lungs. The air pressure matches that of the water the deeper you go. That's why you use more air the deeper you go - there is more compressed gas needed to match the water pressure around you.

As for the Narcosis comments:
Narcosis will come in at different depths for different people. Some people don't get it at all (within a realistic depth). I have studied many diving fatalities and agree with some of the comments in the videos. He's going down far too fast. It brings on the narc a lot easier. Commonly someone who wants to reach a bottom limit, and doesn't have all the equipment they need, will rush things. They get narced and are found floundering around like that if not dead already. Simply ascending will fix the problem immediately.

Oh and since that was my first post here, and I hate reading when people do this....

FAKE

[brownbearclan]

Pretty boring clip and there isn't really anything to see here. Kind of a waste of time on this one. :(

Then why do it? Way to pop your cherry there bud. :rolleyes:

[broggi]

this is kinda eerie in a way.

Is that so? Ive seen stuff about people who dive without oxygen and they had to train themselves to be able to resist the pressure.

Maybe the show was referring to resisting the narcosis effects (which can be done with training and prolonged exposure). The water pressure on the lungs would never happen with scuba (you might be thinking of free diving). Also, don't confuse oxygen with air. Oxygen is only a small percentage of air, and both are lethal after a certain depth. You need to start breathing trimix (Helium-Oxygen-Nitrogen) after a certain depth.

[Wrecktangle]

Damn. Fucked up way to go. He suffered the entire time.

[Snuff.]

Because he was looking for the "arch", whatever the fuck that is. :confused:

[theseeder]

is my theory that something grabbeds his legs and took him down there not probable? then as it hit teh bottom it burrowed into teh sand

[thrive]

Anything's possible dude. I hear the same think grabbed Britney Spears' career (and looks).

[GNARKILL!]

I'm curious about one of their comments near the end: "Here he becomes entangled with the sand".

Entangled? With sand?
i think what he meant with that was when he hit the bottom it made like a big dust cloud so maybe once that happened you can't see anything

[Energizer]

Harsh way to go. Nightmares for me tonight it is then

[scottyroadrunner]

Sure sounded like "HELP" to me.......the first two when he was shallow and the weaker ones when he was deeper.

Maybe he was in some kind of trouble (don't know diving tech stuff but I am sure there are a million reasons for "trouble") and for some reason he couldn't get the weight belt off.

He was definitely yelling help at the begining of his decent.

You see, now that's even more eerie! If true, that's like he was sinking and KNEW he was f**ked as he headed deeper down.

What would cause a diver to sink uncontrollably like that?

[thrive]

Well the guy in the video says he thought it sounded like an echo of some sort. My regulators sometimes make this noise. It's the output valve squeeking when tempurature changes or it's sticking (nothing serious).

If he is saying help, and continues to go down, then it's a classic case of narcosis where people don't think rationaly. I've seen federal police divers swiming upside down on their way to the bottom. You bring them up and they say they don't even remember it.

If his weights were stuck you would see him struggling with them on the way down. The only way it could be weights were if he blacked out on the way down then woke up near the bottom (accounting for the no struggle). A trained diver would know he was going to black out and maybe call for help. Before blacking out under these circumstances you see spark plug like light in the middle of your eyes.

Bit of a ramble but I like to contribute.

No ramble there, mate - great contribution. Having never dived (but always wanted to), I find the video and your assessment to be fascinating.

[sfoan]

I've been drunk and gone surfing, but I couldn't imagine feeling drunk below the water. That has to be a crappy feeling. So in the end, did he take his mouthpiece out?

[wilcoholic]

Why did the video turn red the deeper he dived? Is that his light or something?

I dived before and noway am I going deeper then 18m. 18m is already scary as hell. I feel like I'm claustrofobic (and im not even claustrofobic) and i fell like im just not in control of everything. There is just too much you gotta keep an eye on. You gotta equalize every few meters you descent otherwise you'll pop your ears. You cant ascent quickly either for the same reason. You gotta regulate your breathing. Keep a steady rythm going on otherwise you'll use to much air. I'm also afraid my lung will collapse cause of the pressure of the water if I dont breath for a while.

THeres just too much shit you gotta look out for. And when you're in the water you dont know where the fuck you are unless you have a watch or something. But if you get drugged and panic

[Rhomphaia]

Very much agreed.

I have heard air hoses making similar noises at a factory I used to work at. At first it does seem like he is saying 'help', but later the same noise comes fainter, but very regular. It was the air.

Also, I just love how the video is set up to make it look like the guy did not fuck up (all but one analyst stating he was saying 'help') and how it was cut to make it look like something mysterious happened to him?

[thrive]

Yeah for those who don't know scuba, 91 meters is way, way,,,,,WAY past the recreational safe limit. I assume he has proper equipment to go deeper because no one mentions this in the video. A normal scuba diver has 1 tank on their back. Someone going to this depth has 7 (2 on back, 2 under arms, 2 on belly, and 1 small on side (argon)).

Terrible.. That last guy cracked me up. He was like, fuck this shit, I aint ever going into the water again.

sucks to be that diver... :arcadefreak:

How ofter do you shower? do you hate soap too?

Great input and fantastic videos:xyxthumbs: .

On a more morbid note, has anyone though of mabe suicide ??
