Diving fatality in the Blue Hole, Dahab: Barbara Dillinger

[a6km]

I dont give a fuck about people who die there just because of their stupidity

[MudRat02]

"Dozens of people die every year in the Blue Hole"...uh, yeah that's a big exaggeration. Its more like two or three, from silly things like inexperienced divers trying to go through on a tank or poor preparation.

[Goodness250]

I can't understand half of what this guy is saying... Is it just me?

[stussyboys]

People who are susceptible to panic attacks should not dive period.

[stussyboys]

the truth is these people running these dives centres havnet a fuckin clue what they are doing they are all trying to live the dream and fuck the consequences ive worked in a few dive centres trust me if u knew how easy it was to become a dive master u would be shocked not only that from my own experiance most people genuinly suck at diving and are extremely careless and thats the instructors themselves

[stussyboys]

people do a few dives a year and think they are all that, what they dont realise is that unless u dive consistantly and i mean weekly lik i used to u are just not ready for doing dives such as the blue hole it amazes me when people go onb holiday and suggest doing dives like that u need at least a good month of prior diving leading up to such a dive get real people

[thegirl44]

Does anyone in the dive comminity know if it's more common for a body to be left or for it to be recovered?

Does anyone keep facts and figures relating to this?

[thegirl44]

So, have they ever identified who the body that appears in many videos on this site is?

[GerardoOchoa]

Yet another proof of how overrated the buddy system is. If a buddy is a fool, it is more dangerous to be with him/her that alone

[ASSEMblerEX]

So who is at the bottom of blue hole?????

[oasis4ever92]

if you type in "fatal dive accidents in blue hole, Dahab episode (1,2,3 or 6)" it will tell u about the man described at the end of this video

[alinardelean]

@ASSEMblerEX

Davy Jones it's there mate...

[overseasmedia]

ASSEMblerEX: More likely Steve (watch the episode 2 of my documentary)

[thegirl44]

@overseasmedia

I wondered if it was Steve after I noticed that you or your sister had commented on a video that it was likely a diver that "disappeared on a night dive".

[overseasmedia]

@thegirl44 I assume that's Steve, no proof though

[thegirl44]

@overseasmedia

I understand that the families sometimes opt to leave the body in the body of water but is it not unusual for family not to come looking for a missing loved one?

Or, did the family perhaps come looking and the story just got lost along the way?

[overseasmedia]

@thegirl44 In fact it's very unusual for a family not to look for a body, even if it's really deep like 250 m they can use ROVs. But the accidents I was talking about in the film took place long time ago, there were less tech divers to dive 100m+ to recover the bodies.

[thegirl44]

@overseasmedia

Thanks, Elena. It's nice to know that we can get the facts from a knowledgable source such as yourself.

Completely unrelated comment, amazing how well preserved the gear stays down there after such a long time.

[MrsPoodle78]

Nice Hooka, real subtle !

[murkydiver]

It is an extremely technical dive. One needs mixed gas and a deco plan to attempt this dive. Those divers without this training or expertise are just committing suicide. You think the trail of grave markers would wake people up...sad and tragic. It makes diving look dangerous and it is not when done properly!

[FEDEMADAGASCAR]

Guau... hace bastante que sabia sobre el blue hole y de la muerte de barbara.

Y ahora me vengo a enterar que es argentina... que bajon:(

[saipoc100]

si es argentina, se gano un viaje en el programa sumergidos, pobre mina

[FEDEMADAGASCAR]

Si? Che y que onda, que mas sabes de barbara, por que desde que supe la historia siempre quise saber de ella, de su vida tambien quisiera saber como era.

De donde sacaste ese dato?

muchas gracias por responder, y si sabes algo por si o no me gustaira q me contestes saludos.

[Stumpy109]

how did she died?

[overseasmedia]

Stumpy109: That's what they talk about in the film. How she "died" , she died of DCS on the surface

[TomTIGER69]

very strange when two go in and only one comes back like song timothy the bouys

[TomTIGER69]

wow!! That is absolutely a real mystery. I have dove shipwrecks alone, did stupid things and been ok but 100 divers. Yes you could say simple mistakes, but sounds like dimensional shifts, other events OUT of the ORDINARY causing not only DEATHS but DISAPPEARANCES!! I DID LOTS of DANGEROUS DIVING ALONE, MORE TO THIS BLUE HOLE than technical danger.

[hugboxx]

You fucking idiot.

People die there because they don't plan accurately; it's a dangerous place and they come like you with zapped brains, talking about vibrations and dimensional shifts, thinking that the sea is a big blue comforter with lovely anthropomorphic fishies in it.

You fucking clown.

[TomTIGER69]

You might be just looking in a mirror Get over it . I never dove there. So i keep my mind open to all possibilities.

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 . People plan perfectly and they die.

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

[overseasmedia]

hugboxx : What a bullshit, I know 7 people by now who PLANNED VERY ACCURATELY and still ended up at the bottom. when YOU SAY "PLAN ACCURATELY..." what do you mean?

[twrl2007]

he has a bong lol

[CamelToeHo]

It's called a hookah.

clown

[sam2626diver]

[overseasmedia]

cesnitry: Hi there, I can send you the DVD when I am back to USA ( in the end of August)

[scubazmei]

Lovely video, it's good to know the truth. Thank you for sharing.

[nuno32181]

Very well documented and very tragic....

[vidmaster75]

nice work!

[overseasmedia]

Thanks a lot, Jonny!

[diverjonny]

Hi Elena, I was about to email you about this! :)

[thegirl44]

If they had managed to get her to hospital would she have survived once they gave her decompression treatment or were the lungs too badly damaged?

[OyvindSn]

The lungs usually don't suffer any major damage in the case of a "burst lung", and quickly reheal themselves, but in the most dangerous case air in the lungs enters the blood stream and may end up blocking arteries in the brain, blocking off oxygen supply. Hyperbaric treatment compresses the bubbles so that they can move further, into smaller veins, where they cause less damage. Eventually the bubbles will disappear, but there are no guarantees of a full recovery

[bogomolov]

Елена, спасибо вам большое за вашу работу. И за это эпизод - тоже.

[overseasmedia]

bogomolov:И вам огромное спасибо, за отзыв, Вы даже не представляете себе, как для меня это важно! Фильм уже перевели на русский язык, надеюсь, что в сентябре его покажут в России. Спасибо еще раз, Елена
