imagine how i felt watching a skateboarder rolling around Burnside skatepark with his 1 year old on his board between their legs. parents, stop being so eager to make your children be like you. they'll die.
It's these kinds of stunts that gives diving a bad reputation. What an amazingly stupid trick. PADI, SSI, and NAUI (as well as others) have junior certifications to teach kids how to dive the safe way. This father needs a swift kick in the head.
WHOOP PEE !!! i taught my three year old niece Jelly how to scuba dive when she was 2 1/2 years old the same way and when she was 3 she would carry and empty my 80 in the olympic swimming pool with me. the BOY was wearing a mask .
Glad his son is ok, I am sure he thought he was being safe, let's even assume he's an instructor, he obviously has little respect for the sport or his sons well being...at minimal he should have been geared up. Be thankful that an adventure of a lifetime didnt become a tragedy.

Yeah! this is a 400 feet dive. This is the kind of dive that makes you think, " why am I breathing under water when I could be playing my xbox?" Or, "maybe shallow water dives are a great way to acclimate future divers".
yes fightsharkfishing24 but there are good scuba accident sites on the web too. try the myscubastory site. They have all sorts of dive stories and accident videos there. type myscubasory into google and its the first one. enjoy
There are no bubbles coming from the cameraman...what does this tell you? It tells you that he's snorkeling...they are in ten feetof water or less...the kid can swim down there by himself he he wanted to, relax people jeez.
@JoeFL1968 Clearly, as someone who doens't dive, you'd know that they come from below your face first...then move up past your face, so yes, you'd see at least some bubbles. Also, the camera is clearly recording sound, and if the cameraman were on scuba, you'd hear his breathing the compressed air..a very rythmic hissing sound...He's snorkeling trust me. The type of reef gives you an idea also...it's not a deep water reef.
Actually I do dive. Take a lot of pics too and manage to keep my bubbles out of all of them. My bubbles go up the sides of my mask. No interference with vision or photography. A camera held a little away, and in this case, below your face is not going to pick up your own bubbles. There is hardly any color in video besides yellow, so they gotta be down at least 25' is my guess. Or deeper. As to the sound, you would not hear the air flowing through his hoses on video, just bubbles.
Why was this dangerous? I fucking can't stand you scuba *certified* instructor know it all "do-gooders" The fucking drive to the water was more dangerous than what happened in this clip.

@thecoondog123456 diving to a depth of 30meters you really should be trained in sports diving....not be some wee kid hanging onto your dads alternate air source, which is used for emergencys by other divers. You cant just go down that deep without the knowledge of how to go back up without getting the "bends" either. It a very stupid and dangerous depth he took his son to, especially without a BC of his own. So whats unbelievable is that dad put his son in a very dangerous situation
@muchadoaboutnoting I read the info bit under the screen explaining the situation and the guy how took the vid said thats what depth they were at. But like you said even in shallow depths thats unsafe
@AcheronsDisneyDiva I think they would do this in Mexico tho. In Cancun they never asked for my cert once, they didn't talk about the dive, they went through a swim-thru without telling me in advance about it, and when we went down into a ship, we went inside without telling me they would do so.
I know we all have the urge to share good times with our love ones but if dad would had the patience to have the kid go thru the class and be taught properly he should not risk the kid`s life like that;obviously kid still not certified or trained at all or he would be using his own gear in case dad passes out,stroke,etc;if he does this with the kid then he can take grandma too,same shit.
As much as I myself would like to show my family and share a bit of what I do,this is definitely not proper
i do understand the kid's wants to go scuba like adults do. Most divers will know tat even open water do have min. age requirements, and tat rule is sure for a good reason, An adult's physcial builts will always be differs than a kid and not to mention each individuals r differently build. tatz explains why some gulp airs faster than others. I ve to say the diver r actually putting tat kid in some diving's risk, only time can tell if tat risks is prolonged or has subsidise.Hopefully its worth it
I have made dozens of dives like this with both my sons at the time they were between 6 and 9 years old. At 9 they both got Junior Open Water certified themselves, and we hand dozens of dives after that.
I am reasonably experienced (1400 dives, 1419 hours divetyime), and I think diving with your own children like this is one of the most fanatstic things a man can do in his life !
hey dumb ass, fully certified rescue diver and first responder. yeah kids have fun at lots of things that can kill them. Even when adults that should know better they encourage it, ask any dive organization if this is a good idea.
@BinoBanana If he holds his breath his lungs would basically blow up, because its compressed air and it expands as you get closer to the surface therefore causing his lungs to pop thats why you have to slowly let blow out bubbles while slowly swimming to the surface in an emergency like that. For example if you air up a balloon, at lets say 30 ft and you come up to the surface that balloon with explode, thats what would happen to the boy. Soooo yeah lol not a good idea on your side. :D
@cartaman I doubt it mate. I am the most liberal guy in rule bending within safe parameters, I do solo diving, I totally support kid-diving and I have dove with kids as responsible for them, but this ordeal is simply beyond irresponsible. A pool-based experience? Great, worst case scenario is some mild accident. I don't even dare to ask about the depth they were!
Its in 2 m of water and the camera is on the surface - you can hear the bubbles break on the surface and the wind...wow - the kids got a long snorkel, so what!
I wonder how deep they are. Perhaps they are only 10 feet or fewer? I'd like to think that might be the case because this certainly seems crazy and risky even if it is a shallow dive.
What could possibly go wrong??? That is the sort of shit I stress to my students NOT to do. Even providing your alternate to a snorkeler diving down can be fatal as they hold their breath and surface!
I have dive many times before , particlaurly in lakes with the use of the backup regulator on a friends octopus. They dont breath as nicely as he primary, hard to pull air! But works nonetheless
you can see such stupid things...everyday in egypt....i say always, they try to kill people...and the tourists never complain...what we can do? organisations like padi,cmas,ssi and and they have also no idea
This is child endangerment. I can't believe you would put your child at risk like this. irresponsible and stupid, stupid, stupid. This is the kind of crap that causes deaths and gives divigna bad name. Idiot!
I saw that somewhere too, but it was only like 6 meters and they where there fore maybe 10 minutes. And also many other divers in the direct vicinity. But I wouldn't do that...
this is ridiculous i am a master scuba diver with padi and i found a lot of problems in this video. He is so lucky that nothing bad happened. 85 percent of people involved in a breath hold related injury while diving died in 2008 according to a study by DAN ( divers alert network) its people like this who buy gear off the internet and make the sport unsafe. know your limits or play games with death....
@titsgalore48-- The kid has the yellow reg and the guy has the black. Both regulators can work at same time but it eats away your air twice as fast. Kid probably had fun but SO dangerous.
I don't see a problem here. There were too more divers on the scene should there be a problem. And, being they were down for thirty minutes, I doubt they were very deep in the water.
Not totally stupid but many of you didnt even notice the spare 2nd stage on the divers left. i thought about trying this with my wife in a lake down to 10' or so but my common sense is still well in tune and i havent gone full retard. LOL
Whats rediculous is that the kid is breathing from his fathers octo, which means he's going to drain his air 2x faster. I'm a rec. diver myself, and honestly, its people like this that will eventually make mistakes at depth that cost them their lives. Diving is a dangerous sport, there's no question about it, and people doing ridiculous stunts like this just make the problem worse. Who knows what crap this guy pulls when his son isn't there, I wouldn't want to be his dive buddy...
it dont matter 90' or 20' if the reg was to mess up and he did not know how to buddy breath and blow a lung. it is still messed up please do not try this at home
dad more than likely did not take son under 90 feet silly rabbits lol so no need or risk of decompression and hes useing his back up so the kid can breath looks like the kids pretty comfortable in the water get a grip people.
That's how I learned diving. Well, actually my dad made me hang on to the valve of his twin tanks. So I was hanging on to his back down to about 10-15m. Is it safe?! Probably not, but I was thrilled back then. Good memories...
Do you guys really think they're 90 feet down and decompressing on the way up? The guy filming it is probably breathing through a snorkel. I'll likely do something like this as soon as my kids are old enough.
@videoman223 Problem is every diver should have a main and alternate air source. If you have two guys on one rig, you lose an alternate, and if there's a failure (or you run out of air) you've got nobody with a backup to rely on. Kid could freak out and kick away then end up flying to the surface (and die from decompression injury like burst lungs).. all kinds of bad shit could happen with this situation.
@richard23videos thats is true, but he also does have an alternate air source on his inflator hose. im not saying this is safe, but just pointing that out.
Anyone that calls themself a diver and thinks this was acceptable should lose their cert. This was dangerous and stupid. The kid had no bc therefore no control, no back up air, no weights.... No amount of fun is worth the possibilty of a pulmonary or arterial embolism and the kind of death it would mean for that kid.
very stupid, no matter the level of the father (or the adult who brought the kid in the water), even more stupid if the adult is instructor or more. this is how accidents happen.
Sorry Dude, I'm a diver too and all that, but that is Child Abuse.
You put that kid at incredible risk. You can blow a lung in less the ten feet of water, or did you forget. Further, I noticed you are suited up like an Apollo Moonwalker. What is the kid wearing, his pajamas?
What an idiot you are my friend.. I pity those that team with you.
Unsafe?? Maybe, but depends on the fathers level of training, how comfortable is the child. I started diving at 8 and didnt get certified till I was 12, now I teach, should I scold my buddies dad for letting me?? The really funny thing is the father is wearing a full suit with a hood and the poor kid is in a shorty.
This doesnt look any worse than snuba... and i think in fact this kid is in less danger than most DSD's. Im with those that say this is no big deal, especially if we are talking about shallow water in swimming pool conditions.
The kid is fortunate to have a loving and caring adult to introduce him to the underwater realm. By the kids relaxed motions, it is obvious he had recieved training prior to this video. Most kids will never be as fortunate as this one. Many kids will grow up and never know how great SCUBA diving is.
i dont see a problem with this, i hate authority constantly droning people on danger, wear a helmet, mind the fucking step and whatever... they dont look too deep, safe enough.
We don't know how deep they were. Imho this is fine if they stay above 10 feet depth and can go up anytime they want to. Why not show the kid what daddy does in the lake every weekend? :) I know i'd show my son if he'd ask me too.
It'd be dangerous however if there was ANY possibility for DCS involved.
I think IF you do somethink like that it should more be like snorkeling on scuba and not an actual dive.
@Samurailord what a load of old cobblers you spout mate. You're obviously one of them 'thinks he knows' on diving. The kid would be in real danger of a burst lung trauma if the guy loses hold of him.
@ButtsontheBarbie you seem to have trouble reading and understanding text. Read my comment properly and you'll see why lung trauma is not a risk i'd take. And if you dont get it at least use your common sense and imagine that i'd probably tell my kid not to hold his breath. And even if reading and common sense fail.. do the physics and calculate how much increase of lungvolume you risk at a depth of roughly 2,5meters. Not to mention this can't become a problem because he is holding the kid.
@Samurailord you still know jack-shit mate... a lung trauma can be caused from as shallow as 6 feet - which is less than 2.5m (8 ft). Of course the kid is being held, the arguement is that if he let go of the kid - who is wearing a wetsuit in saltwater with no weightbelt - the kid would go skywards very quickly. Why would the guy let go? Who knows, a heart attack or whatever but it could happen. He is putting the kid at risk, end of story!
Ok, I see picking on PADI here. I'm a certified NASDS diver and was once an instructor (yes, now SSI in north america . . .). In my home town we have one PADI instructor who is fantastic. It's not who he was certified through. It may not even be the instructors fault. This guy is just a jackass plain and simple with no common sense! If i EVER found one of my students doing this, i'd be pulling their card, not to mention the lashing they'd get from our local store!
Great, yet another scubanazi. I learned about diving the same way. Except it was 1972, there was no octo, we were just buddy breathing. And yes, my dad made sure I kept breathing the whole time. I ended up getting my first certification a month later. Let's see you try to pull my card, numbnuts.
Numbnuts is tough talk on the net ;-) I'm not a scubanazi, just educated. 1972 was a very different time, Skootertrash. I studied my history as well, You were diving back in the day when J-valves were still used commonly with no gauge for air pressure. BCD'S weren't much more than a small inflatable vest, if you used any at all. This was the norm then. THere were also more fatalities then (in comparison to number of divers). Times change, as does technology.
By the way, I do have respect for those that dived through that era, such as yourself. It is those that helped scuba become a much safer sport as enjoyed today. And there is discover scuba programs that are safe to try scuba as jdfan mentioned.
Last note . . . i said "numbnuts is tough talk on the net" . . . I'm now in Northern Ontario in Canada . . . so if you ever pass through, i'd be glad to oblige you on your offer of lets see me try ;-)
You are so full of shit. If you were really an instructor, you'd know you don't have authority to pull anyone's card. A diving instructor is not a law enforcement officer. You can refuse to certify someone, but trying to pull my card would be really funny. I have a dozen different ones anyway. And if you think you can, come on down to Seabrook Tx. We'll giant leap off the salvage barge and you can take it from me, ok? ;-) Numbnuts.
No, can't literally "pull" your card . . . but can refuse air fills, rentals, sales, etc. And yes, I was really an instructor. Seabrook . . . i'll be sure to detour on my next visit to Round Rock . . . Thunder Bay here, but you'd never show your ass on the northern shore of Lake Superior . . . If you do, let me know, i'll tell you exactly where to find me . . . and FTR, I said you had my respect, and you continue to go off. Very sad. I'll buy you a beer after I put you in your place old man ;-)
I'm not going to get into the pissing contest over PADI vs. NAUI. This is a display of the pure lack of common scense. Most training facilities offer a dicover scuba class for a nominal fee. However the phrase "JACKASS" comes to mind.
O_O dude if ure son wants to dive then he needs to grow up like god demn it theres courses ffor that and if uget out of air theres no 1 that can give u some
not to smart , as a diver i know to many things can go wrong.1.mouth piece can come off.2.run out of air with two people on one tank.3.kid has no weights on . just not to smart.but there are no laws its scuba at own risk! that has to be his son and all parents are different and i would have had to say no to that one...
sigh people he can do whatever he fucking likes...as soon as his son or himself gets hurt lets throw rocks at the cunt ,but seriousely. its hapnd and in the past. get over it!
Regulators freeflow all the time! All it takes is the diaphragm to freeze open, at which point dad would need to let go to sort it as the kid would not know what to do. kid holds his breath, shoots to the surface, pops a lung. - simple
imagine how i felt watching a skateboarder rolling around Burnside skatepark with his 1 year old on his board between their legs. parents, stop being so eager to make your children be like you. they'll die.

I wonder how deep they are. Perhaps they are only 10 feet or fewer? I'd like to think that might be the case because this certainly seems crazy and risky even if it is a shallow dive.

I have dive many times before , particlaurly in lakes with the use of the backup regulator on a friends octopus. They dont breath as nicely as he primary, hard to pull air! But works nonetheless

@titsgalore48-- The kid has the yellow reg and the guy has the black. Both regulators can work at same time but it eats away your air twice as fast. Kid probably had fun but SO dangerous.

Whats rediculous is that the kid is breathing from his fathers octo, which means he's going to drain his air 2x faster. I'm a rec. diver myself, and honestly, its people like this that will eventually make mistakes at depth that cost them their lives. Diving is a dangerous sport, there's no question about it, and people doing ridiculous stunts like this just make the problem worse. Who knows what crap this guy pulls when his son isn't there, I wouldn't want to be his dive buddy...

videoman223 1 year ago
@videoman223 Problem is every diver should have a main and alternate air source. If you have two guys on one rig, you lose an alternate, and if there's a failure (or you run out of air) you've got nobody with a backup to rely on. Kid could freak out and kick away then end up flying to the surface (and die from decompression injury like burst lungs).. all kinds of bad shit could happen with this situation.

Anyone that calls themself a diver and thinks this was acceptable should lose their cert. This was dangerous and stupid. The kid had no bc therefore no control, no back up air, no weights....

The kid is fortunate to have a loving and caring adult to introduce him to the underwater realm. By the kids relaxed motions, it is obvious he had recieved training prior to this video. Most kids will never be as fortunate as this one. Many kids will grow up and never know how great SCUBA diving is.

Don't you guys overreact a little?
We don't know how deep they were. Imho this is fine if they stay above 10 feet depth and can go up anytime they want to. Why not show the kid what daddy does in the lake every weekend? :) I know i'd show my son if he'd ask me too.
It'd be dangerous however if there was ANY possibility for DCS involved.
I think IF you do somethink like that it should more be like snorkeling on scuba and not an actual dive.

@Samurailord what a load of old cobblers you spout mate. You're obviously one of them 'thinks he knows' on diving. The kid would be in real danger of a burst lung trauma if the guy loses hold of him.
ButtsontheBarbie 1 year ago
@ButtsontheBarbie you seem to have trouble reading and understanding text. Read my comment properly and you'll see why lung trauma is not a risk i'd take. And if you dont get it at least use your common sense and imagine that i'd probably tell my kid not to hold his breath. And even if reading and common sense fail.. do the physics and calculate how much increase of lungvolume you risk at a depth of roughly 2,5meters. Not to mention this can't become a problem because he is holding the kid.
Samurailord 1 year ago
@Samurailord you still know jack-shit mate... a lung trauma can be caused from as shallow as 6 feet - which is less than 2.5m (8 ft). Of course the kid is being held, the arguement is that if he let go of the kid - who is wearing a wetsuit in saltwater with no weightbelt - the kid would go skywards very quickly. Why would the guy let go? Who knows, a heart attack or whatever but it could happen. He is putting the kid at risk, end of story!

Ok, I see picking on PADI here. I'm a certified NASDS diver and was once an instructor (yes, now SSI in north america . . .). In my home town we have one PADI instructor who is fantastic. It's not who he was certified through. It may not even be the instructors fault. This guy is just a jackass plain and simple with no common sense! If i EVER found one of my students doing this, i'd be pulling their card, not to mention the lashing they'd get from our local store!
opiat3d 2 years ago
Great, yet another scubanazi. I learned about diving the same way. Except it was 1972, there was no octo, we were just buddy breathing. And yes, my dad made sure I kept breathing the whole time. I ended up getting my first certification a month later. Let's see you try to pull my card, numbnuts.
TheSkootertrash 2 years ago
Numbnuts is tough talk on the net ;-) I'm not a scubanazi, just educated. 1972 was a very different time, Skootertrash. I studied my history as well, You were diving back in the day when J-valves were still used commonly with no gauge for air pressure. BCD'S weren't much more than a small inflatable vest, if you used any at all. This was the norm then. THere were also more fatalities then (in comparison to number of divers). Times change, as does technology.
opiat3d 2 years ago
By the way, I do have respect for those that dived through that era, such as yourself. It is those that helped scuba become a much safer sport as enjoyed today. And there is discover scuba programs that are safe to try scuba as jdfan mentioned.
Last note . . . i said "numbnuts is tough talk on the net" . . . I'm now in Northern Ontario in Canada . . . so if you ever pass through, i'd be glad to oblige you on your offer of lets see me try ;-)
opiat3d 2 years ago
You are so full of shit. If you were really an instructor, you'd know you don't have authority to pull anyone's card. A diving instructor is not a law enforcement officer. You can refuse to certify someone, but trying to pull my card would be really funny. I have a dozen different ones anyway. And if you think you can, come on down to Seabrook Tx. We'll giant leap off the salvage barge and you can take it from me, ok? ;-) Numbnuts.
TheSkootertrash 2 years ago
No, can't literally "pull" your card . . . but can refuse air fills, rentals, sales, etc. And yes, I was really an instructor. Seabrook . . . i'll be sure to detour on my next visit to Round Rock . . . Thunder Bay here, but you'd never show your ass on the northern shore of Lake Superior . . . If you do, let me know, i'll tell you exactly where to find me . . . and FTR, I said you had my respect, and you continue to go off. Very sad. I'll buy you a beer after I put you in your place old man ;-)
