Fatal Diving accident caught on tape

[seasnake]

I think 91 m is about 300 feet. If he was on air he would've been so narced sand would've seemed scary . . . near the very end though I thought I could see a black thin line curling through the frame?? Just for a second ...

Here is another video, with a little more info:


"It could never happen to me..."
"I'm experienced. I can manage"
Stick with your dive buddy, that is why they are there.
Practice, practice, practice. Take time, at a safe location
to practice emergency drills, until "Muscle memory" and
the drills become second nature.

I always replay a story once told to me and the answer
given by the astronaut acts as a foundation to how I dive.

An astronaut was asked,
"If you were trapped outside of your vessel and had 10 seconds
of air remaining, what would you do?"
Their answer, THINK for a solution in the first 9 seconds, then act.

My apologies for preaching, watching something like this has
me feeling helpless and it helps remind me that anything can
happen, anytime.

RIP

Lars,

I cheated and removed the link tags and switched them for the youtube tags, and viola, the video magically appears!

Thanks for finding a video with additional info, thanks Lars!

Very Chilling videos. Another one that is going around from the head mounted cam of Dave Shaw is also chilling. He died trying to retrieve Deon Dreyers body from Boesmansgat Cave in South Africa. Here is a transcript of an ABC show called Australian Story that went to air shortly after he died.

I fully agree that toys get in the way but I'd really like to hear any follow up since it did happen awhile ago.

This Diving instructor, was a full Tri-Mix diver, very experianced russian, alot of russians divers here love to go to the extreme limits.
Gas was Tri-mix, he showed his computer to the camera, just to record the depth on camera, i have seen this done quite often. as was stated, he was too heavy, left his buddy behind, i would say he lost control of the dive in the very beginning when he left his buddy. the descent was 100 feet/min= WAY too fast.
this was a needless accident, it shouldnt have happend.
why we go over our limits is a compleate mistery.
the dive was planned as a touch and go dive, the camera was hung in his V space, he went down too heavy, could be for very rapid descent, i dont know, it happend in the Blue-Hole site in Sinai Red-Sea.
one of the more horrific diving accidents in my eyes.

sad.
