Trimix Diver Rescues a free diver at 130meters

A rocket sledge free diver goes all wrong when the sledge jams at the bottom around 130meters down. The camera roles and records the diver beginning to gag. At sometime just after the last moment, a trimix diver who just happens to be pasing by unjams him and saves the day... unbelievable.

Dr Maurice Cross at the DDRC(UK) reserched all this many years ago - the work is not widely known, however, it is established observation. and the subject of a BBC documentary. Hope this helps.

its german... the commentator says that the trimix driver RESCUE diver rescues him. he is not just accidently there its the "life insurance"

@b0ngfr0sch Clever boy - You win tonight's star prize. Read the Comments string below for further elucidation :-)

i dont think that a diver was just "passing by" lol what kind of random assumption is that obviously he was there to see or assist in the dive

@RagingOblivion ...I get quite a few of these type of responses. Read comment string below, and all will be revealed. Cheers./B2

@drummertoaster Consider that this is a breath hold dive. he takes a breath of air at the surface which doesn't burst is lungs(no injury, as per normal). He then descends to great depth that compresses his lungs to 1/14 of their previous volume(no injury), then ascends to the surface where the air in his lungs cause them to expand to normal size(no injury) - So at all times his lungs never exceed normal size, and thus a lung expansion injury(lungs forced larger than normal) does not occur.

@b0ngfr0sch How did you know? You must get a lot of tail from being really smart.

I didn't see him equalize once, do these guys have eardrums?

@cebaztian you ever freedived? No. Your comment speaks for it's self. You oxygen thief

[cebaztian]

And how do you know all this?! Sound like pure guesses to me!

1) the heart rate drop (bradycardia) is NOT under mind control.

2) The freediver is NOT just sitting there waiting to be rescued. It is more likely he is narced (N) out of his mind and THINKS the sled is going up even though its standing still.

you can get decompression sickness only by breathing from a tank (air) .it's the nitrogen bubbles expending in your body

[FreediveUKvideos]

A very good example of keeping calm under pressure! Im a freediving instructor, so just for a matter of clarity..... No you cant get a lung over expansion injury from freediving (although you can get decompression sickness after repetitive deep dives)..... Blackout can occur at any depth although it is more common in the last 20 m of a dive due to a drastic drop of 02 partial pressure.... A reverse block is unlikely here considering equalised effectively to 130m.

@Born2Die83 ah.. makes sense. thanks

[Born2Die83]

@marlo916 You only get the bends from breathing compressed air.
