A technical dive at the Blue Hole Dahab - long version.wmv

[CCWSig]

I know nothing about diving, but should he have been venting gas the whole time?

Mit 15 hatten ich schon eine bessere Wasserlage als das hier dagebotene ....

he seems more worried about his bandana then his equipment!!!

[gazu321]

Hey buddy. I hope that you still live. Honestly I would not be surprised if I here from some of your friends here that unfortunatelly it is not true.

You did so many life threatening mistakes on this dive that I am surprised it was not commented here before me by some other tec diver.

Please look for some additional training with some proper tec instructor, your instructor did not teach you the basics.

@gazu321 How is it possible that you did not call the dive at the very beginning due to bubble check? Your right reg/valve was not ok, it is obvious.

Have you ever heard about trim? You are vertical for most of the dive, During the whole video you are negatively buoyant kicking yourself up, you need to work on this before you kill yourself.

Equipment configuration is far from ideal, everything is floating around you, where the hell do you have longhose? etc.

After rewatching the video 1:43 shows the Travel mix which is roughly Nitrox 40.

[skiffhead]

Hi anyone answer this pls. i understand one tank of air is a no no to dive the arch. Do you really need 5 blend tanks. Is it still dangerous to do it on say two 12l nitrox tanks or do you have to have trimax at 58m. 5 tanks?? how longs the deco stop?

[unclepeter99]

Because of the depth you wouldn't be running Nitrox as you do not want any more o2, it's all about the PP02 level and I think 58 is very close to getting a o2 hit. At this depth trimix is your best bet and with a trimix. With a longer bottom time you will require a longer deco obligation and so more deco bottles required. You could dive this with a 12 ltr twinset of trimix and a deco bottle of 80% O2 for deco.

[CarMoves]

At least one of the tanks is for Travel, for use to get down to the depth where they can use the Trimix -- also for return.

[CarMoves]

Their backgas (2 tanks) is Trimix with 15% oxygen, so his left tank is his Travel gas -- probably air or Nitrox 32 or 36 (1 tank) which you see him switch from at 4:09 and back to at 7:00. The lower tank on his right is for deco (1 tank), and the upper right trailing is probably for further cleanup or some backup (1 tank) -- 5 tanks.

The idiots with singles are basically skydivers with 1 chute, they'll probably be fine, but if any issue comes up they're toast.
