Did he oberlive?

Hey thanks for sharing your video I’d like to ask if it’s okay to use your this video for content that scuba diving is fun but it’s also very important to know about safety your video is a very good example of why we should have a buddy and stay in a group and know how to do proper rescue I’m glad your safe and thank you for sharing your experience 😁💕

The most important safety mechanism went unused here, which is to drop your weights for an emergency ascent when all else fails. Kiddos learning scuba, never forget about your emergency weight drop mechanism

He is obviously struggling, someone should had catch that way before.

I'm glad you're okay.

I though you couldn't come up fast or you would get decompression sickness and blow out your lungs.

Thank you for sharing ! Glad that you are ok and take care PS Nice clear waters and coral garden !

Very interesting to see this progression. Very painful to watch too, but happy you are alive!

PADI is money farming bullshit, OWD is suicide paper. If you want safe diving and don’t die at bottom of sea check out GUE certification.

@indomex - Google "Immersion Pulmonary Odoema". You exhibit the classic symptoms - Short, rapid breathing without a good reason (eg swimming against a strong current) and loss of consciousness on ascent. Something to get checked out before you consider diving again.

I read your introduction. I don’t know if you have yet to attempt Diving again, but if you haven’t consider my route. My first ever Discover Scuba class was at Molokini Crater in Maui in June, 2003. When I returned home I signed up to get certified right away. Unfortunately I ended up with a severe double sinus and ear infection and was unable to complete the course. That would have been the end of my foray into SCUBA Diving. Yet I loved it sooo much that I decided to continue the experience by taking Discover Scuba classes, also known as Resort Courses.. I took a full 17 of them before I felt comfortable enough to go for the certification in June 2016. As a solo traveler I always chose to partner with the Dive Master or keep close to them, even if they weren’t my buddy..I am now an AOWD with over 200 dives and do it as often as I can.. Mind you, I am not saying to take as many DSDs as I took, but it was a great experience to hone my skills slowly and the dive masters always think it’s your first time, so they are apt to keep a better eye on you and keep you shallow, usually 45ft or so, never greater than 60.. BTW, I did 48 certified OWDs before I became an Adventure Diver, than 41 as an AD before becoming a full AOWD.. All my dives have been on compressed air.. Happy Diving or enjoying our beautiful oceans, bays, sounds, rivers, fresh water springs, lakes, etc..

I'm sock as well that a dive shop would take a newly open water dive down to 80ft. I did'nt go this deep until I did my PADI deep diver course.

Let me guess the diver in front is the Divemaster/guide??? Never bothered to check the newbie! It’s obvious the diver is in great distress sucking up all the air!

The fact that it took 5 minutes for any instructor/guide/group member (I counted at least 7 close to you) to see you panicking like that is astonishing. It seems their certifications meant as much as your dated open water license and number of dives, as all this video shows is a sheer lack of competence (with all due respect towards you) amongst all participants..

This was painful to watch. 5 seconds in was enough to see that you had no place being there. Do yourself a favor and don't scuba dive anymore.

This hurt me to watch. Did you run out of air? Why didn’t you inflate your BCD and make an emergency ascent if so? No hate just wondering. Glad your 👌

Hello, sorry to be rude but from the first seconds of the video your extremely fast breath is already showing that you are not able to do this dive. And the way you move your arms while you dont need to use it at all makes it even worst. You should have stayed still instead of moving. Your buddy and your instructor would have come to check on you and calm you down with reassuring signs. If your breath still didnt slow he would have slowly brought you back to the surface in a few minutes in order to respect the deco stop. In my opinion the 80ft deep is not the real problem , 24meters is not really more than 20m as long as tjere is a 3mins deco stop 5m deep. The real problem are your buddy and your instructor never paying any attention to you for more than 5 minutes. It is a critical mistake. Rule number one is stay close to your buddy and always check on him. Everybody can have a problem it is ok and understandable . But it is not okay at all not checking your buddy and as an instructor not checking your clients. Just by the way you breath damned !! the amount of bubbles should have warned everybody around you especially your buddy and your instructor as long as they pay attention to you just two seconds.... One sign asking you "are you feeling ok?" And your problem would have been detected and this nightmare would have never happened. Antiprofessional dive

I have almost died diving several times... powerful down currents in Maldives dragged me down and out to sea. Little air left... decided to just relax to reduce air consumption , small squirter of air into bc hoping to eventually escape down current. Just as my air tank hit zero...I was tossed around like a rag doll by crazy washing machine current, then finally released and surfaced out of air. Then lost at sea alone in the Indian Ocean for an hour!

Did you have a heart attack? A panic attack?

You should never have been down there !

You had more luck than brain on this Day! Hearing you breathing can slightly give me a hint how much gas you were comsuming! Sounded like hyperventilating! Way too deep for the second dive, way to long pause between the dives and were where your buddy? Learn slow, live another Day! Hope you are healthy now! :(

Glad someone was there that could make the save.

My opinion: If you want to continue scuba do few sessions in the pool (to prepare your mind and body) and when going "open water" make sure dive masters know your condition, so they will supervise you closely. By the way, I am NO expert, same beginner and started my scuba when was 51. Cheers!

Always buddy dive!! No exceptions

sounds like he's struggling trying to keep up

Didint exhale

why did you panic?

So what actually happened? Just a panic attack?

I had something kind similar happen to me on my AOW course. We dive the rivers out here and my deep dive ended up at a wreck. The current was strong, and my breathing rate increased as I went down the line. Then at the bottom we went under the wreck (it was flipped upside down) where it became pitch black and disorienting. Suddenly I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I managed to signal my instructor with my torch and he calmed me down but for a good 30 or so seconds I wasn’t sure if I would make it lol.

So many examples of basic god dive practice being broken in one short video. Fella, go back and learn all over again if you ever do want to dive again, for your sake and for others.

What was the exact reason for your passing out? Hyperventilation caused by panic? What was the reason for your panic? Did ya not felt well during the dive and felt obligated to stay with the others? If you feel not well - GO UP! Start a slow ascent. Take your time! Don't feel obligated to follow the others! The absolutely worst thing you can do is to allow the discomfort to grow to a panic situation. Fuck what others say.. go up and relax! Its clearly to see and hear within the first minute, that you are very stressed. Monitor yourself! If you find yourself in such a situation say yourself "Stop! I take my time to calm down!" no matter whether you ascent or just stay standing!

Normal, no se la experiencia que tendría, muy poca dado como movía los brazos durante la inmersión, la respiración super agitada desde el principio, espero que este bien el buceador.

What happened? Your breathing ?

Advanced Open Water diver here. 140-ish dives. This was hard to watch and listen to. I'm curious if this was a guided dive (from a live-aboard, like the Aggressor fleet) or if it was a private charter which everyone kind of does their own thing. I've witnessed a drowning myself (the diver was successfully resuscitated and continues to dive today) and I'll tell you accidents rarely happen how you think they will. You don't always see obvious signs of distress before an accident happens.

Thank you for sharing! One could hear you hyperventilating and overexerting your self . You probably needed to stop swimming and take deep slow breaths to clam down. I know that's easy to say by watching a video. Glad you are okay.

Always dive side by side

Hi, your shallow and quick breathing is familiar. Did you have a leaky regulator (as you breathe in, sips of water gets in)? I experienced that during one of my dives and i didnt stay underwater for long. Inflated my bcd and sprinted up. Thank god i was fine. Glad you are safe too. Touch wood, if it does happen agains, try your spare/emergency regulator.

Lots of good points. As a 76 year old Instructor Trainer with over 6,000 logged dives, I own a dive shop and dive all year around. Not sure of your age or health conditions but it sounds like PFO. I routinely have my doctor order a stress test for me at least every two years. I am also an Instructor Trainer for Disabled Divers International and often tell folks there is no such thing as a disabled diver (I have a VA 80% disability) there are only divers. The only reason for you to give up is if your doctor signs off on your medical as no longer able to scuba dive. Don't just find an "Instructor." That's like accepting you doctor graduated i nthe top of his class vs the bottom 10. Is the instructor a newly minted one with less than 200 dives and only certified 25 or less students or one with over 500 and has issued 100 OWD certs and specialty certs or more? Is the Instructor someone that can operate independently or is teching under the direction of a shop? As a shop I need customers with money, but as a owner I must protect my liability at the same time. Pick your dive shops like you pick your instructors. However, the bottom line is, as divers we are responsible for our own safety and that means know our limits. Don't stop unless your doctor says so. Get additonal training and own quality dive equipment.

This was a really dangerous situation for you and anyone helping you, especially if a decompression stop is needed. Those helping you could suffer decompression sickness (the benz ). Don’t dive beyond your training and limits. If anxious once diving, notify your buddy and dive master immediately and make a plan to surface. Thanks for sharing as can help others learn.

Did you dive again, later? I am so wondering that..

should always be in a pair watching out for each other

Wow...just hoping you can clarify what happened? Were you overweighted or just nervous? DM should have been watching. With the way you were moving, I'd like to think I'd have spotted from the beginning and you'd never have had such an emergency

If you are diving and you feel like you can’t catch a breath just call it. There is no shame. Safety is number 1. This happened to me last month. Something wasn’t right from the start of the dive. Felt like I wasn’t getting enough oxygen into me. Started struggling for breath. I safely surfaced and decided not to dive that day. I hope you made a full recovery ❤️‍🩹

I was in a similar situation but got decompression sickness where i had to go to the decompression chamber twice. I was a newbie diver (open water) and my instructor would take me down to 80-137 ft. I knew I shouldn't dive deeper than 60ft based on PADI and NAUI standards but the instructor said it'll be ok. Current and bouyancy issues caused me to rock up from 90 ft up to the surface. I got back to diving months later. I wish you the best and know that you're not alone.

Did you feel the CPR?? I’m fascinated by it all

Indomex this is one the spookiest video I’ve ever seen 🥶 I’m so glad you’re alive and suffered no physical consequences, and that you and people around you will recover rom the psychologic trauma. You should write what exactly happened so that the whole divers’ community can learn. You gave a lot of signs of distress (hands movement, rapid breath/ short amplitude detectable from your bubbles, apparently you even switched to your Octo), you couldn’t grab another diver’s finn or bang your tank, or try a controlled ascent. The emergency ascent seems very fast and could have had catastrophic outcome for you and/or your rescuer (from the color of the sea bottom you were probably deeper than 18m). Immediate CPR was great but I didn’t hear the O2 kit requisition. Lesson for all of us, divers or not: we have to truly care for each other. These images will not leave me 😢 Long life to you and your rescuers 👌

I’m not even a diver (I do study it though) but the first thing I’m noticing is that his breathing isn’t right. He’s breathing too fast and too frequently, similar to someone having an anxiety/panic attack. Dude should have signaled his buddy or divemaster and surfaced right away once he started feeling dizzy or otherwise.

Untrained divers

Bro i had very similar situation, we were swimming against current and i got really tired, i tried to manage it but i knew my heart and breathing was too much. i slowed down i did few stops tried to continue i checked air it was 110 while my buddy had 180 so i knew i will be finishing ealier. i gave up struggling bc i knew i had no chance to beat current, i sticked fins in sand and my hands to rest - my buddy saw it he came to help he helped me swimm a little so i can finally rest and he took me to the boat i hat like 70 in my tank while he still had 160 haha from that moment i know if its too much its not worth you just better stop and go next dive as you cant win anyway just keep yourself save and your friends. i was so panicked while being at the bottom and thinking but i remember best for me is to rest and get myself together if they see im missing they will look for me or go up so (1) then we talked at the surface and they told me i should stop ealier so i wasnt tired that much and they could see how tired i am. for all new divers like me. remember, guys with more experience will come and help you but you have to show you are struggling and dont force yourself. stop 1 : ( if youre close just rest at the bottom give urself time to calm and slowly slowly go up ) or go up with your friend, never try to beat marathon, water is not a joke. i thought someone will be angry on me because this situation but everyone was very supportive giving me advice that i should stop ealier and give them sign. thanks for video
