Dive Accident Entangle

This is a small scenario we made hoping you draw your own conclusions and prepare yourselves and your buddies to having the proper reaction in case of incidents. DO NOT attempt that kind of training until you are fully comfortable with gear exchange and have performed many dives. Dive safely and enjoy every dive.
Remember poor judgment is the first cause of an accident.

Excellent video...being a policediver I know all too well how entanglements can kill you....

You know, chances are you wouldn't end up entangled if you weren't carrying so much excess crap. Is that two, or three uneccessary reels? Nice big shark stabbing knife, which is on your leg no less, which will be utterly useless should you get stuck in a position you can't reach your legs. Oh how I love to sit back and chuckle at over accessorised divers.

I was diving and got first stage tangled on a boat anchor line mid-depth while ascending. Calmly took my trim-weighted bcd off to untangle and immediately realized I hadn't added additional air to bcd for it to be neutral once I removed it as it dropped like a stone, yanking my reg out right before an inhale. In taking the bcd off it had come untangled on its own, and I was able to grab the octo as it was almost out of reach. A simple scenario like that could have ended up deadly.

Good film but shame it is polluted with the crap audio

Cool vid. Just one more reason why you should dive with a DIN first stage! =) In my opinion, the guys in this video had more "danglies" than I would be comfortable diving with, but different things work for different people. If you're comfortable and happy with your gear and it doesn't get you into trouble, then that's what matters. Great vid for a bad situation, great way to demonstrate how to problem solve. Love it!

Great demo. It is surprising how easy it is to get confused, disorientated or panicked in a situation like this. I can admit to having a situation or two where I had more than a little adrenaline, until you calm down and remember that you (hopefully) have plenty of time to solve the problem. Get yourself 'free' and worry about the gear later, you can always do a free ascent if you cant free the gear. (I am not talking to 'advanced' confined space divers here). Thanks for posting.

Great demo of a bad situation. I think it's time to practice getting in and out of the new BC.

Awesome video guys, The key thing to take away from this, in my oppinion, is never panic. Stay calm, and figure out how to fix the situation.
