Fatal Diver's Accident Blue Hole, Dahab episode 2

[aaronrocs]

should have at least used glowsticks

[aaronrocs]

I wanna go there!

[ogrebattle22763]

These 2 Divers in this video have got to be the 2 biggest assholes I have ever seen in my life... I don't give a damn how great a diver you are or what your qualifications are you would have to be a brainless idiot to attempt a night dive in pitch black darkness in a notoriously dangerous place such as "The Dahab Blue Hole" & then as if it wasn't dangerous enough shut off their flashlights... I'm sorry but is anybody NOT shocked at the outcome of what happened to Steve?

[trykkestar]

That's what you get for calling it a torch light! Jk

[SuperEasytiger]

yes LKJ03, but there are good dive stories and videos on the net too. My personal favorite is the myscubastory site. It has videos, stories and pics too. Type top dive stories into google and its the 1st or 2nd one

[MichealxJordan]

i think his torchlight is a faulty one thats why

[seasnake321]

yes correct MrCrzy, But there are also good dive stories and videos on the net too! Try the myscubastory site. Type myscubastory into google and its the first one!

[killer44999]

padi said dive the place at day first then night

[pacovl46]

yeah right, i'm gonna dive the blue hole at night and then i turn off my flashlight. how fricking stupid can one be???!!! he had it coming!!!

[stussyboys]

he dropped his torch by accident no doubt and by the time his buddy had turned his back on he was far enough away to be unable to see the light so he juts ended up stuck there in pitch black

[ANSANDAND]

i live in the uk where can i get a copy of this dvd its really interesting

[pantougreece]

As a diver i dived one month ago the blue hole.I believe that both the dive centers that take inexperienced divers and inexperienced divers as well are to be blamed for the hundreds of victims in Blue hole.i was shocked by the fact that they were taking divers who just finished their open water course in Blue hole and Canyon and were unable to control their byuoancy and consumed their air so fast down there.They should be more responsible

[RoryJGorman]

she killed him!

[AnzacEason]

I meet Marni when i was in Dahab ( years ago), she was in training, living in the village and getting her masters. This story is freaky, The narrator is pretty hollywood!!

[fbreitruck]

Did youtube exist in 98? It better was there for those guys, maybe they would have been better educated by horror videos on youtube than in their dive courses. Sad...

"Never break the rules or the rules of natural forces will break you"

[overseasmedia]

fbreitruck : My dear, who told you that "media" is all about "education" only?! (lol)

[TomTIGER69]

very suspicious he says i turn on The Lght and he's gone

[popdanmark2000]

until know diver's dive deep with normal air and never back in blue hole and in canyon it is very sad someone lose his live for one dive

[popdanmark2000]

who give this people licens and they shold take away the DM licens from this girl because she shold stop this diver's to make 56 m as night dive i really sad about this blue hole well have more and more diver's specily from rachen divers

[overseasmedia]

popdanmark2000: That was a long time aog in 1998, they don't dive BH at night now...

[popdanmark2000]

under the diving law night dive max depth 18 meter and , wich diving licenes they have and how this rent tank's the dive center who rent to them they must knows if there are gide with them and also is not alwoad to dive in this area in the night

[overseasmedia]

popdanmark2000: That was a long time ago...

[DavidPWong]

They were asking for troubles by doing what they weren't supposed to do...at this depth even on a day dive, every precaution was needed to stay alert and to ensure safety...let alone this is a night dive and the first time to dive there...diving is for fun not for thrill and risk-taking.

[sethland]

First time venturing the cave in the Blue Hole and you decide to turn off your flash light for a cheap thrill that turned out to be costly?

[VasilicaCascaval]

i was at 58 and it was incredibly bad feeling, i felt if i go 1 more meter i will have blackout or will loose my mind!!! i got 700 dives and im dm but anyway.....dont go under 50!

[Samurailord]

at least not without an appropriate mix of gas ;)

[cthorste]

holy shit!! he just vanished!!! i'm going to have nightmares tonight...seriously

[TomTIGER69]

Might be just a great place to get rid of someone you don't like anymore.

You are observing people die because life in a body Appears terminal .

[overseasmedia]

TomTIGER69: Well, you know I know many divers who would stay pretty much "alive" no matter if you like or dislike them (lol!)

[TomTIGER69]

Yes me too. A good friend of mine Capt. harry Shaffer was a diver in the movie "The Abyss" I dove with him in the fl keys in the late 80's early 90's

People plan perfectly and they die.Especially on the Andre Doria thats right near where i am Now

I was trained as a foot soldier for Viet Nam in a place called Tigerland .i am well aware of demented dimensional shifts & can handle them well. Thanks for your great work and for bringing me back here

[overseasmedia]

TomTIGER69: Why, did you dive Andre Dorea? How does it look like! Thank you for your messages, I really appreciate them!

[Ghostfly3d]

Absolutely no point to close it. 'Cause it's really nothing about this place. It's just a bit DECEPTIVE about buoyancy and orientation at blue. Closing this place wouldn't solve anything - people find themselfs other place around to CONQUER.

Here's other thing which may be helpfull - as for me - Blue Hole not so interesting place, but i keep visiting it cause this place teaching me of ESTEEM

[Ghostfly3d]

for blue.

What about this accident - c'mon people, don't you ever do smth stupid in your live? Admit it! The fact that you've got some luck that time don't make u better and don't give u any voice for judge.

Just learn from others faults and try not to make it again.

My sympathies...

[korsangargar]

people need to understand that scuba diving is not about adrenaline.

[joneson1000]

they should close this place, forbit divin' and go to eilat, isreal....better place with no death

[vidmaster75]

joneson1000: Why should they?

[overseasmedia]

joneson1000 , That's not a very good option to close the place.

[TomTIGER69]

very strange when two go in and only one comes back reminds me song timothy

[TomTIGER69]

wow that is absolutely a real mystery i have dove shipwrecks alone and did stupid things and been ok but 100 divers and yes you could say simple mistakes but sounds like dimensional shifts and other events causing not only DEATHS BUT DISAPPEARANCES DID LOTS OF DANGEROUS DIVING ALONE MORE TO THIS BLUE HOLE than technical danger.

[JDPL448]

if at 60m you loose track of which way is up and which way is down(because of the darkness) than diving at NIGHT with your flashlights turned OFF is certainly an "excellent" idea.

Don't get me wrong, i respect all divers and im sorry about what happened, but seriously.. they were asking for it...

Thanks for the video, by the way. Very interesting :)

[overseasmedia]

JDPL448: There is no blame to say that, since many divers who died in the lue Hole did a lot of stupid things like the one described in this episode and many others. Being honest all of them were "aasking for it" in one way or another. And of course all these accidents happened due to the human error.

[pipinki]

wow, you go down under water, you come back up

[kermit30au]

Very interesting short.

Some grey matter was absent there. Broke rule after rule. A death had to of occured with the stupidity that was done. I feel sad for the loss of a life but these guys where asking for it.

[overseasmedia]

kermit30au: I completely agree with, these guiys were definitely asking for it, 99% of the accidents in Blue Hole occured because of the wrong decisions.

[sundaydiver]

This dive is one of the stupidest decisions I've ever read about or heard of. Darwin awards. Very surprising the other guy survived.

[overseasmedia]

sundaydiver: I completely agree with you, but that's what really happened and this is true. Why don't you comment on Yuri Lipski's "fatal acciden caught on tape" video, I would appreciate if you do, I 'm sick and tired of arguing with "shark theories"! (Lol)

[tubeee99]

It's the ghost of the seas and the souls of the divers that took steve's life.. creepy..

[overseasmedia]

tubeee99: Some people really believed in the "Sea Spirits" at the time I was making this documentary, I'm sure there are still people believing it...

[GOneScUBa]

safety gears are between our ears.

Thank you again Elena for posting this.

We must not learn safety by accident.

[Susky97]

Great, thanks for the heads up. You've peaked my interest. The final term is up in a week; perhaps I'll add this to my summer reading. It is always nice to discover a new twist on this topic. Cheers for that! Is there a study or book title to go along with the reference?

[overseasmedia]

Susky97: You're welcome! Try Samael Aun Weor "Introduction to Gnosis", that's the best boo to start with and after you read the book (it's very short) check out the Kybalion (or the Hermetic teaching) and its 7 principles,the "cause and effect" is one of them. They also call it the "Ageless wisdom".

[Susky97]

Wouldn't dyslexia entail that it be "lautirips"? I have no idea what you mean here. Dyslexia is a spatial disorder that comes from reading actual printed pages. I suppose it could be argued that in the effort to force the brain to see what is actually there, one experiences a deeper sense of consciousness. Regardless of what you mean by this, the notion isn't what I am saying and so can't be connected to the number 99.9% in any meaningful way. Would you care to elaborate on what you mean?

[overseasmedia]

Susky97:I know, I meant the "spiritual dyslexia", this is the expression John A.West uses when he talks about academics-egyptologists. I love that expression because it fits my thoughts regarding the people I met while making the film. Not all of them were spiritual dyslexics though,some of them are brilliant"masters" of their own fortune, they did a lot of seemingly stupid and dangerous things and they are still alive.

[Susky97]

I don't know that we can assume they were inexperienced, but I'm not going to argue with you that they weren't being silly. Of course the vast majority of diving accidents happen because of poor choices, some on the surface and others when things go wrong. I've had my fair share of diving trips with Russians. They make incredibly risky choices, including drinking alcohol on safety stops. No argument there either.

[overseasmedia]

I've spent almost 4 years making the Blue Hole documentary and these short videos that I placed on youtube are only 2 of 7 episodes that are used in the film.The fatal accidents among divers are surely caused by poor choices such as deep air dives and solo dives. I was surprised to discover that 99,9% of the divers who make these poor choices are "spiritual dyslexics".

[Susky97]

"Why couldn't I feel or recognize?" Well, because you aren't a dolphin, that's why!

I'm baffled that experienced divers would 1) choose to do an "unknown" penetration dive at night, 2) turn off their torches, and 3) not tell everyone beforehand the plan. If losing orientation at this site is that easy, clearly making things worse by doing it at night is not a smart idea. What about guidelines and indication lamps on their tanks? Poor, poor choices.

[overseasmedia]

No one said they were "experienced divers", of course they were extremely inexperienced and very silly. But that happened in 1994. I just finished the documentary about Russian divers fatal accidents in 2006-2007, in 99,9% they died becaus of their poor choices.

[theunraveler]

hi can u post the whole video up plz? its really interesting to me as a diver

[overseasmedia]

Sure, I can post you the DVD, please send me an email with your postal address and cell phone number.

[overseasmedia]

Hi, the video is being broadcasted at the moment, so I cannot post the whole video on you tube, but I can send you the DVD, just send me your postal address.

[Mutrino]

Going to 60 meters on air is STUPID and un-necessary, it IS that simple.

[overseasmedia]

That's true, I completely agree with you. The thing is that we're talking about 1994-1998. There was no technical diving facilities there in Dahab at that time. They had no clue about TMX.

[Mutrino]

Well than one has to wonder, if the right mix is not available should one dive in the first place? I get very upset seeing divers die for no reason.........Do it right or don't do it.

[overseasmedia]

I completely agree with you, but unfortunately too many people (divers) still dive deep air. In a way deep air dives are still promoted by such agencies as e.g. PSA. Have you ever heard about M.Andrews (deep air world record holder)? And he is not the only one who teaches people to do the wrong things. So what coud you expect of them if they have such a role "model" or a "teacher"?

[Mutrino]

I agree. It is sad though.

[overseasmedia]

Yeah, so I sincerely hope that the documentary will make a difference...

[unknownspiritx]

Hey, I have no clue about diving or anything so I was curious to know when you mentioned that going 60 meters on air is stupid. What do you mean on air? Is there another type of gas that divers use other than oxygen? Thanks!

[Mutrino]

Unknown: Divers use 21%O2/82%N2 which is regular air. While O2 (oxygen) always has to be part of the mix, they also use a variety of other mixes that have varying percentages of O2, N2 and for deep dives He (helium) is added as well. For a 60m dive air is NOT the mix to use if you want to do this safely.

[overseasmedia]

Mutrino : Incorrect, Regular air consists of 21% O2 and 79% of Nitrogen.

[Mutrino]

Did I say 82%?? Oops, yes of course it has to be 79% N2, *hangs head in shame*. Sorry about that!

[overseasmedia]

Mutrino: No problem!

[Mutrino]

These morons are just asking for it aren't they!?? Come on, how stupid can you be??

[vidmaster75]

No, not that simple as it seems. E.g. There were a few tech divers who died there recently

[overseasmedia]

Well, sometimes they really do stupid things.
