A legend, who died pushing the envelope. I feel sorry for his family, but he will be remembered by me and my friends for years to come!

Heavy.

Poor man :,(
-
breathing heavily is a first sign that something is not going right
-
@grijper12 he died from an effort-independent expiratory flow which resulted in an inability to match ventilation to the demands of physical work at that great depth as wikipedia says
-
@deathman113 i dont think he died because he ran out of air but because of the pressure there is at that depth
-
The Narc must of really messed him up, This guy had guts.
Forever a real badass, David Shaw.

Oh my....very serious stuff compared to what I usually see at youtube.
Beautiful tribute from his wife there at the end.
Perhaps this video showing/explaining his dilemma will help other deep divers avoid that and this will save one or more lives.
RIP David Shaw

I've been working in EMS since 1979 (RN, CFRN, CCEMT-P) with the last 15 spent on a helicopter. I'm also a diver.
One of the most basic rules of rescue is "dont' create more victims", a rule I've followed strictly, and although I've had injuries, they were all relatively minor.
I have the utmost respect for Mr Shaws abilities as a diver.
That being said, dying for the sake of recovering a body is one of the most foolish things anyone can do.
