Dive Accident Entangle

[PSDIVERTOM]

Excellent video...being a policediver I know all too well how entanglements can kill you....

[astral3x]

You know, chances are you wouldn't end up entangled if you weren't carrying so much excess crap. Is that two, or three uneccessary reels? Nice big shark stabbing knife, which is on your leg no less, which will be utterly useless should you get stuck in a position you can't reach your legs. Oh how I love to sit back and chuckle at over accessorised divers.

I was diving and got first stage tangled on a boat anchor line mid-depth while ascending. Calmly took my trim-weighted bcd off to untangle and immediately realized I hadn't added additional air to bcd for it to be neutral once I removed it as it dropped like a stone, yanking my reg out right before an inhale. In taking the bcd off it had come untangled on its own, and I was able to grab the octo as it was almost out of reach. A simple scenario like that could have ended up deadly.

dutch springs?

[unswmbt]

Good film but shame it is polluted with the crap audio

[wreckdiver1321]

Cool vid. Just one more reason why you should dive with a DIN first stage! =) In my opinion, the guys in this video had more "danglies" than I would be comfortable diving with, but different things work for different people. If you're comfortable and happy with your gear and it doesn't get you into trouble, then that's what matters. Great vid for a bad situation, great way to demonstrate how to problem solve. Love it!

Great demo. It is surprising how easy it is to get confused, disorientated or panicked in a situation like this. I can admit to having a situation or two where I had more than a little adrenaline, until you calm down and remember that you (hopefully) have plenty of time to solve the problem. Get yourself 'free' and worry about the gear later, you can always do a free ascent if you cant free the gear. (I am not talking to 'advanced' confined space divers here). Thanks for posting.

Great demo of a bad situation. I think it's time to practice getting in and out of the new BC.

[hockeypedro7]

Awesome video guys, The key thing to take away from this, in my oppinion, is never panic. Stay calm, and figure out how to fix the situation.

[cebollasj]

para mi esta equivocada esa maniobra....... yo en lo personal tomaria aire suficiente

dejo colgando el qquipo ahi e

e iria por el cuchillo que esta a 2 o 3 metros para abajo y regreso a cortarlo y no garto tanto aire

[AprilGirl25]

Similar thing they teach us as firefighters if we get caught on something in a burning building.

[opsei]

Removing the gear is not an option when you are diving with dry suite.

[zaplol]

@opsei How is removing your gear when diving with a dry suit not an option? You obviously have little to no experience diving, let alone with a dry suit.

[marioplayer50]

dude thats ALOT of gear its like carrying the storage room on your vest (BCR?)

[ericsantiago011]

that was dangerous right that broken window

[Tygrysie]

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF THIS F|_|CKING DUAL 3D VIEW!!

[Hai16]

agree stuff the diver u forgot ya knife dumb dumb xD

[NPSF3000]

Stuff the diver - what happened to the knife?

:P

[slothboy79]

Getting stuff caught on the back of your tank is a real threat in some situations.

[willyslee]

i were a hat and what has this ever had e too doo with me this has never happened to me cant affored to have accedents reamber always have a back up for your backs ups back up

[spsweiss]

I can't think of a single "new" diver I know that has an OMS wing and backplate. This scenario could be a lot more realistic with simply a change in equipment. 

[ryjoph89]

Great video. Brand new Open water diver- going into advanced in January. Thank you.

[malabou75]

Great video. Agreed, in the end, we must all be self reliant.

[stuartseelman]

The Bell Huey at Blue Stone Quarry? Nice spot

[frenchiediver]

I am the 1st diver in this video. Comments say "all that stuff" and "all that crap", they both refer to one light. As a veteran diver I do not refer to a necessary device as "crap."

The assembly is at max. 2 feet long and is not, in my opinion, a sign of clumsiness. It may seem longer in the video.

I started diving in 1980 and to this day I haven't had even one minor incident. As a divemaster I have modified my settings to a point that fits me…

[frenchiediver]

Cont. In shallow waters and non-threatening environment that light is hooked on my BCD. Demian and I are diving wrecks (with penetration) and I can assure you both that as soon as we get set to enter the wreck that light is in my hand.

This being said and for a film point of view you are right, I should have removed the light from my equipment…

[frenchiediver]

Cont. On the other end beginners must understand there are pieces of equipment we would rather not have hooked on us but they are necessary and we have to deal with them. Point of fact is to constantly remind ourselves of their position.

Thank you for watching.

[whatareprimes]

I like the idea behind the video, showing new and unexperienced divers how to be safe and prepared divers. But to fully convey that idea, the first diver in this vid (being the safe and prepared diver) shouldn´t had brought along all that stuff which was hanging down from him, increasing the risk of getting entangled. Often minimalism is the better way to go.

New and unexperienced divers copy what they see. Bad example is the torch, look from 0:13 till 0:18.

Still great job!!

[U853]

You want to avoid entanglement get rid of all that crap hanging from your harness.

[texasbob12]

Given the "dead" diver at the end is still emitting air bubbles from his regulator, I think the newspaper photographer should seriously consider his professional ethics and morals

[shoopdawoop3]

Ok good it's a scenario I was like what the fuck the camera mans a douch for not helping him

[hottap727]

Its called spell check. Look into it.

[petethomson]

Read the description - "This is a small scenario that we have made, hoping that you can use it to train yourselves and your buddies in case of an eventuality"

So, of course it's staged!

[MaxxDiver]

i actually posted the comment before reading or even before watching the whole vid.

i think it's very useful for beginners .. keep it up and thx for posting .. globb globb ;)

[TyphoonSK]

Good video.

[xmasboyz]

Congratulations, guy! The video is funny but also very educative. I'll recomend to my brazillian dive friends.

[nescubakid16]

were you guys on a plane wrek?

[Scubaman7337]

Very good video, in my opinion, that was the funnest part of my training, removal of BC to untangle, and reassembly underwater. Good Job Guys!

[sharktoothking10]

THATS COOL!!!!!!
