Scuba diver in panic - Panique d'un plongeur

[Sargethepyromaniac]

Free hanging Octo and SPG...

[liamfulton]

nothing that more and better training can't help. Learn your gear and use your buddy, just like you learn in basic open water training!!!!

[masluxx]

dude turn the valve on your tank open more, or change to your octopus, or hand signal to your buddy for his octopus, or hand signal to buddy breath, or slowly accend while doing one or all of the pleviuos but do NOT ever jet the the surface like that. By noting the color of the light, you could not be in very deep water and you have plenty plenty plenty of time to do one or all of the previuos. If you paniced liek that in a cave or wreck dive with silt you verly likey could kill everyone .

[Clemgoff]

at the end there's a strange noise when he breathes. I got the same noise !

[masluxx]

@Clemgoff yea i have had that 'noise' happen once, that was becuase after i cracked the valve to 'charged' my BC, i got distracted and i forgot to open the valve on the tank the rest of the way. so, at high pressure +3kpsi i had good flow but it was severly restricked in a rather sudden fashion at some point around 2.9kpsi. That sounds very simular to what happened to me also, a very low flow/hard sucking by the diver causing a weasing whisling sound.

[Clemgoff]

@masluxx sorry i could not respond earlier but everytime i dive, it happens to me ? i dive evrytime with the same regulator so maybe it has a problem... I don't know but I'm still alive !!!

[masluxx]

@Clemgoff very likely, maybe try barrowing or renting a diffrent regulator to see? I am curiuos, you do turn the valve on the tank all the way till it stops then back towards closed 1/2 a turn no? For if you do not open the valve on the tank all the way when then when pressure in it lowers this sort of thing will happen?

[Clemgoff]

@masluxx I'm really sorry but I'm a beginer so I just dive at 10 meters depth max so I can't answer but thanks :-)

[mysennheiserrocks]

on a side note, im pretty sure this video was filmed with a sea urchin

[mysennheiserrocks]

you could have just let him bolt for the surface. i'm sure it would have taught him a lesson....

[tigerman1978]

Nice catch, but BAD gear configuration. I also have to wonder what this other diver (with equally bad gear configuration) where doing down there to begin with if he don't know how the spg works..

[GerardoOchoa]

@tigerman1978 Agree. Particularly both diver's backup (octopus) regulators are clinging. Had the instructor's octopus gotten entangled, he'd be unable to hold the other diver down.

[SerialThrilla23]

hahahahahahahahahhahahah idiot

[HugeDeek]

Aw man, I understand how he felt man... It was my first dive, I was on the sea bed, holding on to the rope, suddenly when I looked up, my regulator got jammed for some reason and I can't take another breath. To be honest, the training I got, "Buddy breathing" never crossed in my mind, my instinct told me to swim up. Luckily, it was all fixed when I look straight ahead instead of up.

[jwp8363]

very nice grab by the dive buddy. Cant tell if it was an out of air panic or not, but quick grab. take ponts away for very poor hose management. does not look lake any of the hoses are stowed. all are hanging free which could lead to tangling in oblects, damaging aquatic life, or damaging your equipment.

[Roarasle]

Je recommande cette vidéo de la Norvège:

Diving in Bishop Harbor

[data790]

I have to admit, I have een doing the biggest sin of all... solo diving. I did 5 solo dives in the sea before watching these videos and putting a stop to it. Happy for people to say some nasty things about me but hey ho still here and would not recommend anyone do it. Never had any problems but I doubt a problem was far away. Lesson, never get too comfortable and expect experience will look after you while diving

[chasecolemanmusic]

i just started diving....life changing experience. i finally went 90 feet after 6 days of diving.!

its probably the coolest thing that has ever happened to me, i dont understand why he freaked out so much though..

[Born2Die83]

What would have happened if you had surfased at that speed of accent?

[NikySportsPromotion]

@Born2Die83 The almost guaranteed thing- your ears would kill, if not have a ruptured eardrum from the rapid change in pressure. The much worse, not guaranteed but still likely event- you get bent.

[1101111010101101]

@NikySportsPromotion I don't think anything would happen to his ears... With the ears, the problem is on the way down, not on the way up.

[NikySportsPromotion]

@1101111010101101 With a bolt ascent, you surface faster then the pressure you've introduced to your middle ear (by equalizing on descent) can return to the surface pressure, pushing out on the eardrum (going down the water pushes in)

You can have ear issues with any change in pressure, ascent or descent.

[RockinBagpiper]

@Born2Die83 depends on how deep he was and how long he was down there. Generally he could end up with the bends from changing depth and pressure too quickly.

[MarcoLucien]

Pulling down fast alright.

[Klonk1275]

Sorry correction pure oxy up to 6m, air up to 70m. Anything after that u can get narked.

[Klonk1275]

@trackstar n saylinhop. U are both right. U can breath pure oxygen under water. Tech divers use pure to purge nitrogen off their system faster. Shorter deco stops. U can also use high nitrox to a certain dept. Pure oxygen becomes lethal after I think 70m or something. Deeper dive ur talking trimix n stuff but essentially it has oxygen in the tank. Safe diving.

[titibulles1]

Trimixpower a raison. au risque de me faire critiquer, je n'aurais pas équipé le "baptisé" de la même manière( si c'est pas un baptéme, le gars doit arreter de suite)

Pas de console mais petit mano qui pend ds son dos. pas d'octopus il ne saurait pas quoi en faire. tout dépent aussi des prérogatives du pays qui forme.Bonne réaction du guide, je sais que ce n'est pas facile de plonger avec certaines personnes. Des plongeurs assisté, il y en a beaucoup même brevetés.

[trimixpower]

c'est quand je vois ce genre de vidéo que je me dis qu'il y a trop de laxisme au niveau de l'obtention des brevets : les gars sont en milieu naturel, il laisse traîner leurs octopuss et ils ont aucune maîtrise de leur flotta... rien qu'en regardant le début de la vidéo on voit déjà que y a quelque chose qui va merder !

[lkarolngst]

lol he was like, hmmm..SURFACE...hell bent for leather hehe. Looks like someone didnt learn the basics in his pool sessions. On top of that he forgot about the fact that his buddy is there for a reason, if he was really in a out of air emergency he should have signaled to his buddy and buddy breathed, that is why it is taught in the confined water portion of OWD.

[ZombieManiax]

yeah you definitly dont want to go up as fast as he was. very bad......good thing that guy held him down.

[franckk34]

nice fake. Is this a rescue diver exercice ? If the guy wanted to rush the surface you could have barely slow him, he would not have stop after a short grab on his leg..

[seasnake321]

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

[marinefish321]

yea bcdwoman33 you can also get more stories on the web, try the myscubastory site. Type myscubastory into google and its the first one, good luck!

[199505]

@idealano thanks for the reply!

[StopMotionMind]

I remember getting certified when I was 11. One of my last certification dives, this giant 8 foot morray eel went right past me. Scared me! But fortunately, I didn't go rushing up to the surface...

[ianstaunton1991]

@StopMotionMind in my opinion you shouldn't have certified at aged 11. for 2 reasons 1. your lungs were not fully developed and 2. if something happened to your buddy being that young you would be unfit to toe him back to shore.

[StopMotionMind]

@ianstaunton1991

1) At 11 years old, everyones lungs are developed. I think I developed my lungs when I was.......born?

2) Between the ages of 11 and 14 I dove with divemasters, and my parents.

3) I think passing the course (PADI) includes being able to tow someone >.>

[ianstaunton1991]

@StopMotionMind theres no point being cheeky .fair enough i was wrong about the developing lungs thing you can be a fully qualified open water diver with padi in 2 days. the course i did took months which leads to more confident and experienced divers. its not what qualifications you have its experience that counts,

[StopMotionMind]

@ianstaunton1991

I took the full PADI course.... Took a month and a half. I don't see what you're getting at...

[mememe123xyz]

@StopMotionMind

PADI is the least comprehensive dive system when compared to others such as SSI and NAUI.

Although it really comes down to the instructor that is doing the teaching and not what dive agency they are teamed up with. A lot of people dislike PADI because a lot of the instructors that use it seem to be more interested in money than proper teaching. But there are also plenty of good instructors who use PADI as well. Just depends on who you get.

[ofek3113]

he is in panic before the rush to go up... look at him holding the kombo

[ANONYMOUS1747]

if he went that fast all the wayup he would have been dead!good thing he caught him!

[199505]

@ANONYMOUS1747 why? sorry i dont know anything about diving and im curious about what he shouldnt have done.

[ANONYMOUS1747]

@199505 thats ok but heres why you cant go up fast when your deep under water you can do more research on it on google but to sum it up really if you go under water to deep dephs and swim up fast to many chemicals go into your body and you will pass out you have to be rushed to a near hospital where your are put in a chamber with 100% oxygen for your life to be saved :P

[ianstaunton1991]

@199505 its all to do with Boyle's law. when you go down pressure increases and volume decreases. eg lets say your at 10m your lungs are half the size at the surface. so if you hold your breath and rush to the surface you could damage or burst your lungs because of the expanding air in your lungs.

[paullytheplumber]

@ianstaunton1991 If your lungs are half the size at 10 metre. you are free diving as they would just expand back to normal on ascent. If you are scuba diving, your lungs would be normal size at 10 metres, and then would be fatal to hold your breath on ascent as they would try to double in size, but in reality burst long before that.

[ianstaunton1991]

@paullytheplumber doesn't matter if your on scuba or free diving. the deeper u go the smaller your lungs. its basic physics and this in every scuba diving course.. in my last comment i referred to Boyle's law << look it up.

[paullytheplumber]

@ianstaunton1991 As an advanced diver with thousands of dives, I am quite confident that my original comment describes Boyles law accurately, the volume of a gas at pressure is proportional etc. I don't need to look it up! At any depth on scuba you are breathing compressed air at the ambient pressure for that depth, therefore your lungs inflate to their normal size.

[ianstaunton1991]

@paullytheplumber well as an advanced diver you should know, clearly you bought your diving cert of ebay or wallmart or some place like that. fair enough your right about the free diving but not when your on scuba. 10m your lungs are 1/2 the size and your breathing twice the amount of air..

[paullytheplumber]

@ianstaunton1991 I'll ignore your stupid remarks and try and save your life. do not dive unless you understand this: at 10 metres you do indeed breathe in twice the amount of air, but it is to inflate your lungs to their normal size 'BOYLES LAW'. If you do not believe me, ask any diver that did'nt get their cert from ebay or wallmart.

[lkarolngst]

@ianstaunton1991 Um no your lungs are not half the size. Boyles law.....

[ianstaunton1991]

@lkarolngst i getting sick of u just go be useless somewhere else.

[ItsJad]

Oh my god.....That is just a deadly mistake! Props to his dive partner!

[Imadab3st]

Wow never happened to me, I'm 12 and I have a good 30 dives and I'm certified from padi, SSI SUCKS!!

[fighterkid36]

@Imadab3st im getting certified at PADI to! im 14 tho

[jonser2008]

@Imadab3st What's your problem with SSI? Is it because you're 12?

[wezdog1]

@Imadab3st Hey mate, SSI is a much more involved course than PADI which is why it is taking over learn your shit

[parkdan]

After confined dives of my PADI cert, I've come to understand that scuba is far more dangerous than the dive shops would have you believe. If you're thin, if you're young, if you're athletic, if you're like a fish in water, if you have nerves of steel, then maybe it's not too dangerous. If you're not ALL of those things, stay in the boat.

[MsGogo68]

boreing



[dnk9999]

Why kids shouldn't dive

[hallopapa111]

@dnk9999 Ive been diving since 2008 and i have over 20 dives and when i started i was 12 and know im 14. I dont see a problem when kids are diving you just have to know what your doing under the water.

[kondadotm]

Quite strange reaction... so suddenly... and he didn't seem to look again at his gauge before going up ... ???

[MaxxDiver]

@ jeffscubadoo : well said buddy

dive safe globb globbb ;)

[SmithSolver]

I  thought his BC randomly filled with air.

[chaz567123456789]

holy shit....nice reflexes buddy!!!

[GreenWilliam3]

@chaz567123456789 u have to be that fast if u wanna be a dive master :l dont want anyone to slip away

[bandostyle]

so i was'nt in panic he just ignore every diving basics,and that is an instructor mistake!

[purpoazz]

st'imbecille ha messo a rischio lui e il compagno..

[SandViper72]

wow. what happened? did the oxygen run out? i just started diving myself and although we trained to communicate this to your partner, i can imagine its horrific.

the problem i had the most with is kelp. i hate it. just likes me so much that it has to grab me and hold on to me. nasty plant.

[jeffscubadoo]

The diver diden't run out of air. He was a beginner comfused with the red caution of the pressure gauge. The red caution is a red zone indicated that you have 50 bar inside your tank and it is a time to terminated the dive and exit from water. The diver was scarred, thinking that he will run out of air immediately... Diving is a safe sport if you take a good course and dive with your brain more than your fins...Thousands diver dive everyday and enjoy it...

[wirikuta14]

@SandViper72 if you started diving you should know its air, not oxygen.

[lacanau]

@SandViper72

if you have a buddy you dive with often, try some suprise emergency scenarios for a bit of fun. I did this with mine, and although him and I were in the process of becoming instructors, this would definately prepare you for handling a situation such as this. One more diver ready to handle emergencies out there is an awesome thing believe me.

[whatitischief]

@SandViper72 you probably know by now. but when you are running out of air, you can feel it, if feels like you are sucking the air out of the tank. So yeah, this student just panicked :\

[SAYLINHOP]

@SandViper72 did the oxygen run out?

oxygen? you are so inexperienced.....just pathetic

[TrackStar828]

@SAYLINHOP Actually he is correct. It's not that you run out of air, you run out of pressurized oxygen. He is right. You are the inexperienced one.

[SAYLINHOP]

@TrackStar828 You seriously believe that divers breath with oxygen??? The ppo2 pressure would be enormous which will paralyze your cns. You better read some comments on top about air and oxygen. I guess your instructor was kinda dull telling you that you breath with oxygen making you a compete damn-@ss in diving. I will open you a small secret - you do breath with air which contains 21 percent of oxygen. On your place I would retake open water padi exam or read some books, but not dive ;)

[TrackStar828]

@SAYLINHOP I guess you misunderstood me. I never said you breathe with pure oxygen, that'd kill you, I just meant there is a certain amount of oxygen in each tank, like you said, around 20 percent. When you run out of air, you are technically running out of pressurized air which contains the oxygen your body needs. Misunderstanding! I know enough about scuba diving, I've been doing it for 5 years now (not too long).

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

@SandViper72 Move to Florida. No kelp :D
