Diving with no air and no mask

[metallicate]

@pelegw That is how technical diving works, in an out of air situation you donate the regulator you are breathing from, and have your secondary bungeed around your neck.

so the diver would then simply pop his chin down and put his secondary in.

good point JLLK009, there are better dive stories and videos on the net. try the myscubastory site. type "dive stories" into google and its like the 12th result, on the 1st or 2nd page of google... youll find other good dive story pages but i think the myscubastory site is better as its dedicated to dive stories, accidents, sharks and videos - good luck

[ASP132]

pretty poor fin technique...looks like he's riding a bike

[metallicate]

@pelegw In Technical diving, the primary regulator is normally donated (being the one on the long hose) then the shorter alternate air source is bungee'd around the neck,.

[itsumonihon]

kinda funky, i guess i'm weird or lucky but i have no problem in water without a mask or goggles. the clarity is reduced but i can still see decently

[zomystro]

FIRST RULE OF SCUBA DIVING: NEVER hold your breath!

[UKairsoft94]

@zomystro why not?

[zomystro]

@UKairsoft94 b/c when u acsend, the air in your lungs increase in volume, and can cause major injury to the lung tissue. that is why u can see he is blowing out a slow stream of bubbles. (it isnt as important if you are stayin at the same depth but it is a good habbit to get into whenever your reg isnt in your mouth)

[nunomigduarte]

@zomystro That's a common misunderstanding. in initiation courses they teach that because when you are learning to dive you have crappy buoyancy and to prevent you from getting lung expansion in case you come to the surface to fast they teach you that, liability my friend. if you hold you're position in the water you can hold you're breath as long as you want...

[texasbob12]

I cant see shit without my mask on, never mind another diver 20 meters away.

[SkullPhace]

Well thats just totally put me off. I find it hard enough in the confined dives of open water to breath for a min with no mask D;

Might be because of when I had a panic attack at last attempt at my open water though :P

[pelegw]

Not a very useful skill IMHO. Also, he just grabbed the guys primary reg out of his mouth...

[ptalantov]

stupid useless skill, the instructor is an idiot

[StopMotionMind]

At all times whenever a regulator is not in your mouth, you should minimally be releasing air from your lungs.

[Knuspar]

if you change depth yes, if you stay at the same depth you dont have to =)

[CJ632]

wow thats scary i just got certified for basic scuba and got over the whole mask clearing thing theres no way i could do that

[HectorsShadow]

Amazing, as I'm a diver myself and I have the experience of the almost non visiblity without mask I'm sure I coudn't do that. I'd be on panic... How could this guy see the buddy who had to supply him the octopus?

[TheSkootertrash]

Diving and panic are two words that just don't go together very well. Practice by sinking all of your rig to the bottom of the pool, then diving down and donning it. Then remove your rig (mask and fins included) at one end of the pool, swim underwater to the other end and back, and putting it all back on, without ever breaking the surface. After a few times, it will seem natural, and panic will leave you alone. And yes, ALWAYS keep in mind to keep letting small bubbles out of your mouth.

[cousinproductions101]

um how could he be not breathing if their is bubbles coming out

[boggster480]

when you take a breath in, you can still exhale the air without breathing

lol

[sauenkalle]

becourse it is dangerouse to hold you breat under water..

[MaxxDiver]

well answered sauenkalle.. i appoint u my official dive buddy ;) globb gloobbbb

[sauenkalle]

=D I'm Pro ; )

[MaxxDiver]

lol same here buddy.. stay wet ;) watch out the barracudas and scorpion fish ;)

[sauenkalle]

Well don't Worry MaxxDiver. I'm diving in Norway. Nothing dangerouse.

maybe one. becourse this water is demn cold :O

[wobin77]

If he would have been out of air, i m pretty sure the diver whos filming, would ve gone to help him.

That is like a 'standard rule while diving'...

[deefstes]

What's with all you guys? Of course it's a training drill. Why else would he swim 20m when there's another diver right next to him plus yet another one photographing the action?

Thanks for posting the vid, nice illustrative.

[pablovilches]

si señor, rapido y compañeroso

[neapsandsprings]

load of shit

[strgazermel]

Nice trim!

[13BEME]

This is a skill you must perform for high level tech diving 20 meters swim, no mask, holding your breath with perfect trim.

[JUNAID187]

not true...

[izzymilly]

good for him he had a budey whith air he couled shar please leve a coment thanks,..

[canadianNS420]

I LOVE MY PONY TANK

[menceydepatalavaca]

Helloo from gran canaria

[tartullian]

Ummm That looks like the OOA drill described in the GUE handbook. I dont think the guy is really out if air in this drill.

[soccom8341576]

I think everyone should learn this.

Absolutely no air?

[DiveRule]

scary... optimal responce procedure !!!!
