Yuri Lipski Tragically Died at Dahab Blue Hole this Tragedy Footage Taped

Blue Hole Tragedy Footage Taped by Yuri Lipski, hosted by http://DivingAccidents.net

A famous and videotaped death in the Blue hole is Yuri Lipski, a Russian diver who died at 91.6 meters below the surface. Lipski was, tragically, an unfortunate victim of inexperience and lack of proper equipment.
When diving on standard air at a depth of 90 meters, the narcosis will be so severe that a person can lose all survival instinct. There have been cases reported where people have been so narced as to remove the regulator from their mouth and offer it to a fish. In the video it is possible to tell when the regulator falls out of his mouth (or possibly taken out due to narcosis) and subsequently he drowns. So far in 2009 two more divers have been killed diving the Bell and Blue Hole area (both in May).

@3gdc2

overseasmedia (Elena Konstantinou-certified TECH diver and filmmaker) has a good and thorough explanantion for what likely went wrong on her video about the same subject. It's 7th down in my related videos.

The thing of it is, no one really knows what happened other than the fact that his dive partner didn't go down with him, which is never a good idea.

@arcanequake what was his risk? I'm a diver myself and I ask sincerely. Was it his initial and rapid descent without fellow divers? Please be specific as this video is hard to decipher the problem. I'm contested with the probability of stroke/heart attack vs. Nitrogen narcosis and eventually O2 toxicity....

but what happened why was he going down at such a rapid pace its 18 metres per minute

Very intense. Should put others off doing stupid risks like that.
