his CESA (or whatever that was..) was kinda understandable.. his SSA line got kinked and he sketched out.. i would have as well.. then again, I would have been carrying a PONY BOTTLE. Who are these instructors? Where is the redundancy in their diving system? SSA diving can be safe(ish) when proper measures are taken.
SORRY , PADI had nothing to do with this, This non certified SNUBA diver, actually did everything a certified diver would have done. Except certified divers are required to have an alternate airsource for their buddy to breath off of in an emergency. Not so with SNUBA. But , the panikced diver did a pretty good controlled emergency swimming ascent.
ok your correct girldiver245 but there are also good dive stories on the web too... try the myscubastory site.. type myscubastory into google and its the first one ... enjoy
yeah their right his hose did get a kink in it but like i have learned in all dive classes ( stay cool, calm and collective) at least he exhaled the whole way up
Im a SCUBA instructor, I think this drive to squeeze the last dollar out of each and every tourist with shit like "snuba" should stop. diving should be taught in a safe, responsible manner. you wanna dive? take a PADI/NAUI or whatever legit agency resort course at the least. that poor guy bolted to the surface from more than deep enough to be badly, if not fatally, hurt.
@wirikuta14 I'm a scuba instructor too, I've never taught snuba , I hate snuba! I went on ONE snuba dive and never will again. I videotaped this episode and I understand how diffucult it is to teach people snuba Funny thing is..... snuba has a perfect record.... Go Figure!
@mauiprowler in Cozumel where I live a divemaster friend of mine had to rescue a snuba diver (he wasn´t guiding the snuba tourists, he luckily was around) they are usong these helmets, astrounat like, heavy things, probably because they look cool, so, the snuba diver fell and his helmat was flooding, and as I said, those helmets weight a ton, so my friend went there and stabilized the poor guy.....I hope the perfect record continues. regards.
he was in less than 25 feet of depth. i seriously doubt he would have been "fatally" injured from that panic incident. not to mention the fact that they have probably not been underwater that long during their little session.
@ezcompany I take it you´re not a cerified diver, if you were, you would know that decompression sickness is not the issue, the problem here is damage to the lungs due to air overexpansion, which can very easily happen from 25 feet, from much less in fact.
@ezcompany really? you know that at 25 feet you´re breathing almost as twice air molecules than at the surface, so if you hold your breath and surface the volume of air will double, causing air overexpansion, which is very likely to rupture a lungs, which in turn can give you an embolism? we´re not tlking about decompression sickness here.
there won't be over expansion because he is exhaling air on his way up to the surface. over expansion injuries only happen if ascends to the surface without exhaling at all. my point remains the same, it is highly unlikely that this particular diver will have Mediastinal Emphysema, Subcutaneous Emphysema, Pneumothorax, or Arterial Gas Embolism based on this video alone.
and for your information, I am certified through PADI. I am however more interested in freediving than scuba.
@ezcompany ok, didnt know you were certified, your comment made me think so. I was witness to an overexapnsion incident from 15-20 feet of water about 16 years ago, a SCUBA diver offered his octopuss to a snorkeler, injuring him badly. it can happen very shallow, trust me.
@wirikuta14 i totally agree and I would maby add a hard thinking procesess whteher to dive or not before anything. Nuba isn't going to ease/help here.
@wirikuta14 i totally agree and I would mayby add a hard thinking processes whether to dive or not before anything. Nuba isn't going to ease/help here.
@HimGuyOverThere no decpmpression limit was not the issue there, lung overexpansion (barotrauma) is the issue, and you dont need 60 ft for that, a few feet will suffice.
Knowing what it takes to get certified, even as a beginning diver, I now know how stupid this kind of half an hour in the pool and we will take you out diving tourist stuff is. I don't even want to be in the water with people who have so little training. There's NO way you know what you need to to be out in the water breathing compressed air after half an hour. You don't even know what you don't know.
@trakkaton as an instructor, it is my experience that some non-divers tend to hold their breath when given compressed air underwater. time ago ago, a group of italian divers stupidly ofered their octopusses to two snorkelesrs, badly hurting one of them. the victim later stated that once he had air in his lungs down there, he made sure to keep it in his lungs for as long as he could.
Hah, very stupid set for very stupid tourists with zero knowledge of diving basics...
What the hell they were thinking - this is not like watching discovery channel on tv at home.... This guy could have a very serious barotrauma bolting like this to the surface...
i think if i was ever to scuba dive ill save up the extra cash and get it all properly done, with professionals and proper gear etc.... this looks too scary..
At least he was exhaling on the way up. These rent a hookah things are kind of reckless. If someone wants to dive they should take a real divers course. Looks like some kind of tourist thing.
This is exactly why people should not breath compressed gas without the proper training and certifications. And what kind of jack ass set up is the guy using anyway, these boat fed hoses are just bad news. Dont be cheap and lazy and spend the couple of hundred dollars and get properly certified.
Dumb snuba excursion, the divers have no idea how to dive. Main Thing: Organizers get their money....

The guy actually did everything right, for an uncert diver.
He had a kink in his hose, wasn't getting any air, and made his way to the surface blowing out his air.
The support "diver" who came over to him had NO air -- what should he have done?
Every support diver should be carrying a Pony.

wirikuta14 11 months ago
@wirikuta14 Over-expansion (AGE) can occur in as little as six or eight feet of water, under the wrong conditions.

About 8m depth. Nothing can happen unless he doesn't breath out. But he obviously does that more than he should.
