@wanabgt

why does a dog suck his own di*k? Because he can! *g*

I didn't promote this kind of dive. Everyone who does so should have a certain level of experience and knowing what he does- never mind what kind of equipment and gases he has.

@Chrisle6969 the interpret is a german combo called "Rosenstolz"

@Samurailord

doing a simple 50m dive with 3 or even more tanks is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with scuba diving today...hey man, get a life! Even today people are biking without a helmet and full armour even when it would be safer. Nevertheless, some people are more fearful than others...

[sorrento240]

Oh and the driver was waiting on the dock with an extra tank&reg. So the deco range down to 6m was secured, assuming your navigation skills are not too bad for inside the Dahab Blue Hole ;o)

[sorrento240]

Plus 15 minutes of optional extra decompression below 10 meters.

Nitrogen narcosis you can somehow get used to, Trimix is something for fearful loosers, scaredy cats ;o) or for going below 60 meters.

I'm training myself in mountain lakes down to 50 Meters with air/double tanks, my partner did the arch more than hundred times with this config before. Only negative point was the trim indeed, my tank was hanging too low at the BC, that's right.

Dive safe, big bubbles no troubles!

[sorrento240]

Just to clarify: no dive 24hr before this one, my log says 15 Liter@230bar, 75 bar at the end of this dive. My and the other's divers air consumption's around 10 liter/minute. So a rule of third was almost fulfilled. As 3 divers were on this dive 2 "backup"-tanks were available.

Max depth 59 Meter. Stayed there for about 4 minutes and went straight up. 2 deepstop at 35 and 25 meters and 4 minutes of mandatory decompression as calculated.

1 tank 60m (air i guess hmmm) ? i mean wtf people, thats not a james bond thing, ITS YOUR LIFE you are playing with

[alsh2010]

Doing a dive like this on singles and rigged as you are is simply idiotic. Period. Not impressive at all, just a display of a lousy and unsafe approach to diving...

[pantougreece]

Moreover below 50 mts trimix is a far better gas.However due to its high cost and because red sea has ideal open water conditions deep air diver up to 60 mts can be done.saying that trimix is for fearfull loosers makes you sound like an open water diver.All diving organizations prohibit the use of air in an overhead environment or for a complex mission during a dive.diving a bounce dive to 50-60 mts is something that everybody can do.Only a tec diver however can safely manage this type of depths

[pantougreece]

I m a tec deep air diver and doing my trimix course at the moment.Samulairlord and sorrento you do not have the knoweledge to do deep dives.Diving with a computer isnt a tec dive.Even with someone who has 10 lts consumption if you had to do an air share due to regulator free flow you would be drown.A 15 lts tank with one regulator can not cover such emergencies\.moreover decompressing on air is outdated nitrox and oxygen are used for decompression.Decompressing on air creates osteonecrosis.

Interesting :) I´m just home from Egypt, i did one dive in The Blue Hole. I wanted to swim throu the arc, but to do so, i guess a man must bring his own equipment. And i think i would have liked to have 2x15L 230bar, but thats me.

I am an Air supplied Commersial Diver. I have been down to 50-51m on regular air. I feelt a bit like i was in a dream. Same thing everytime. So is it not possible to get a tank filled with 21% oxygen and the rest Helium, to get rid of narcosis problems?

[Nintenpwn]

@sorrento240 I'm A scuba diver too and I have never been out of a lake and was wondering how common bull sharks are?

[simonclarkeward]

IDIOTS !!

[wanabgt]

this is beautiful...RIP to the divers that didn't succeed in this beautiful underwater adventure

[shortyuk100]

i suppose drink driving is safe too? you nob, learn to go deep safely or not at all you give all tech divers a bad name

[Chrisle6969]

I like the music...what language was that?.......what's the ttle of the song?
