accident Finding Scuba Divers

[lechmich]

I don’t think i understand why he died. Did he get stuck or something?… he needed a better camera.

It's nitrogen narcosis. He descended too quickly on air

Actually I think this would be one of the best ways to go. The deeper you go the more toxic nitrogen becomes making you feel nice and drunk...almost dreamlike. Also gives you an erection...well that was my experience. Anyway...then you just lose consciousness and die. Not too bad of a death if you ask me. I was diving at 160 feet and almost met the same fate if it weren't for my dive partner. I wasn't scared a bit. Just a peaceful happy feeling 😂. Cheers 🍻

Ok, interesting

This footage is from the Blue Hole (Red Sea). Has plenty of corpses, most of which no one can or will recover (300ft/100 meter+ depths) Most famous death is Yuri Lipski who was one of the few divers in history, who recorded their own death while scuba diving.

I'm pretty sure that descent speed is not a factor in nitrogen narcosis.

He needed to ascend at least partially as soon as he felt the effects. The effects are more profound the deeper and more rapid the descent. [Advanced OW diver]

Good article. It looks like you have confused something called "high-pressure nervous syndrome" with nitrogen narcosis. The article states that rapid descent can result in HPNS, but it clearly does not say anything about rapid descent causing nitrogen narcosis. Rapid ascent, on the other hand, can bring on other problems. Depth brings on nitrogen narcosis, but not rapid descent. Did you actually read that article?

Not to get into a technical argument here, but if you compare this situation with a freedive might explain what I'm on about...

I had no issue even at 200 feet. Guess I depends on the person's constitution.

I nearly drowned as a teen: I wasn’t scary like you see on films it was so calm and relaxed. 😌 once my head accepted I couldn’t get to the surface this compete calm came over me and all I though was I hope they get my body out before I decompose for my parents sake. Strange

okay, finish the story ")

All they need rented equipments to take back. Nice operation.

its wild i never thought about divers being left at the bottom of the ocean. i mean i figured theyd be eaten by something but i guess in areas like that it isnt really a threat to the corpse. really cool though its crazy seing their gear look so pristine just covered by algae. reminds me of the trail marker bodies on everest

Nice

Florida here. We have a place called the devils den or cave. I have always thought cave diving is fucking nuts. Even the rescue divers are at peril. Crazy respect for this hobby/ industry. Great post. Thank you. Rip to the lost souls who passed doing what they loved.

Thanks for posting your reply. Couldn't have said it better.

I lived 🤣 nah a body boarder pulled me up last second

I have never done the cave thing, personally I think the wreck thing is boring AF.
