My dive instructor was a WW2 USN frogman. He told us that one day he got narced, and would have been dead. Except he was intrigued by the way his bubbles were all going sideways, so he followed then and was surprised to find himself on the surface!
He dove much more conservatively after that.
I just started watching these videos about a week ago. It's very addictive. Biggest thing I've noticed is that Gus lost a lot of weight. Good job Gus.
wow, lucky he wasn't in some current that took the bubbles elsewhere!
Follow the bubbles… it’ll save your life.
He followed the rule of thirds… safety third
🤣🤣🤣
He followed the Chernobyl manager playbook. He took it all the way down and then all of the way up.
😂😂
At 50m on air the fish probably ARE talking to him 😂
I wish you could interview him and ask him "WTF dude"?
the guy is alive and has a twitter account & RUclips, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Definitely a video i would love to watch though :)
Totally. That's all I could think unless he got confused on the way down and kept heading deeper. Dumb, dumb, dumb dive!
He literally went on air to 100 meters, PO2 at 2.35 bar, just to see some freaking rocks 😭💀
It's not like there was even anything worth looking at..
"it gets worse before it gets worse"
Yeah worser 😂
Cool so it got better.. glad to hear
The father-and-son duo you mention were Chris and Chrissy Rouse. They were diving a newly-discovered WW2 German submarine on air at 230 feet in 1992. I read about them in the books "The Last Dive" and "Shadow Divers". A cabinet fell on Chrissy, who had a panic attack afterwards, so they aborted the dive. But they couldn't find their backup air tanks and a panicked Chrissy decided to shoot to the surface. His father Chris followed after him, and neither of them survived the decompression sickness.
I made LEGO versions of Gus and Woody. They have a dive boat and hang out at the coffee shop in my LEGO city when they're not diving. They also do harbor maintenance and salvage dives for various customers. 10/10 would build again
I must see this! I'm a total lego nerd
the silliest part is it doesn't seem like there was even anything to see down there anyway. Just rocks, and little rocks.
Don’t forget the medium sized rocks too… and sand
He did it just to film the video and show off. Dude got lucky.
Well, the rocks were kinda cool… not at such cost of course.
@@VashStarwind for sure. and i'd tack a "this time" on there because you know if he was stupid enough to try it and post it on the internet he's definitely gained newly unfounded confidence to do it again.
For an alternate ending, watch the vid of Yuri Lipski - who's dive was 10m shallower than this.
They did Yuri aaages ago
@@lee-annecollinsuk I think OP was addressing other viewers who might not know the Yuri Lipski story
the breathing in that one is soo awful and painful sounding.
Im pretty sure Yuris BCD failed, and thats what killed him. In the video you can hear him attempt to inflate, but nothing happened. Probably put on too much weight, and over inflated BCD and it failed. Thats what i think at least.
@@lee-annecollinsukI think that was only Woody
Deep air dives were more common 2-3 decades ago, as trimix wasn't easily accessible. I used to routinely dive air to 80-90m back then. However, the tech community was far smaller back then: tech divers were far more experienced, and progressed in depth very slowly over years and hundreds of dives to learn their physiological limits. Overconfidence killed divers. Tech community attitudes and peer critique importantly helped address overconfidence and overzealous ambitions.
High ppO2 didn't cause a high frequency of toxicity issues. The working hypothesis was that O2, as a CNS stimulant, is somewhat balanced by high pN2 acting as a CNS sedative. That CNS balancing doesn't exist when breathing O2 rich mixtures in shallower depths.
Narcosis at those depths is atrocious. You are basically semi-conscious - as if sedated. Alcohol inebriation symptoms aren't apparent (often that is just placebo effect). Amnesia was not uncommon. Areas within the brain don't communicate, so you progressively lose access to biographical, working, then procedural memory. Problem solving becomes impossible and the ability of the brain to appreciate risk and stimulate prudent behaviors ceases.
The other BIG issue is CO2 retention. It's the major killer. Gas density is so great that the physiological ability to remove CO2 from the body is severely impaired. We all knew that any exertion or loss of breathing discipline could kill within seconds. Divers only went to those depths on air if they were certain they could deal with emergencies without increasing respiratory demand. It was an unspoken agreement that rescue wouldn't be attempted if exertion was demanded.
In short, it was immensely dangerous.. but risk mitigation with helium/trimix didn't exist.
That risk mitigation has been readily accessible for decades now. There is simply no excuse for wilfully taking these risks nowadays.
I wonder if nitrogen being a CNS depressant is what mediates the effect in nitrous oxide, laughing gas
I use a tri mix in my deep air fryer.
As a total non-diver (but admirer of Dive Talk!) you've definitely succeeded in making me aware how dangerous this was -- I appreciate that! You so clearly care about the safety even of lunatic dare-devils, and I appreciate that too. I so enjoy this channel, though I only wade at the shore.
"whos going to help him?" "Jesus, he gone son" LOL! 8:39
Been watching old videos of dive talk lately and I just gotta give credit to Gus. He looks amazing, lost so much weight and you can tell he just feels so much better
Very true. The difference in his mood is obvious, and I think it brings peace of mind to the Dive Talk audience knowing that he's tackling caves in a state of much improved health (it sure does for me, at least).
Good on ya, Gus.
Gus kicked ass losing weight. It's funny because he looks exactly like my friend Clark. Clark wants nothing to do with diving. 😂
yeah it’s noticeable. I’m sure we’re all really happy for him
Dive Talk at 1 AM I'm loving this!! ❤️🤍👌🏾🛟⚓🛥️🤿🥽
2.28 am 👌👌
@@Coryb440 6,25 pm :)
Yeah, thats how we rollin
Dude wanted to find atlantis and take up permanent residency judging by how deep he was going lol.
He reminds me of that Existential Penguin clip - We don't know why he was going to his death but the curious thing was that the penguin was in such a hurry and so determined in his mission. Likewise, we have no idea why this person was so determined to dive to 100metres on air! ruclips.net/video/-KriRCtS4rs/видео.html
He probably also used up a few thousand braincells with that much stress on his cns... Love watching y'all!
That will be a large percentage of the total too.
That, and his heart is running as if he was a significantly older person.
I’m very suspicious of this whole video. It just doesn’t add up. Way too much light at his max depth…. When he was at the surface we should have been able to see the huge twinset he would have needed (at a minimum). How and where did he stage his deco tanks??? Never showed his depth on his computer??? Nah, I’m calling BS…
Fully agree, also depth subtitles change randomly when he is not moving on the video
I smell BS too! That does not look like 100m at all, actually even 60 didn't look like 60.. I think he might have made it to 45m or 50m MAX!
in terms of light, the camera could have the ability to adjust sensitivity to account for this. also, his alarm does go off at the depth stated.
We do have that clear water in the Mediterranean and Red Sea and the camera can adjust to the light
His computer was screaming at him so I am thinking the depth was accurate…
My commercial diving instructor told me him and his buddies once hit 240 feet on air at some wreck in Lake Superior in the 70s and he said everyone who dove that day all had different stories of what the group did during the dive.
19°C = 66°F. That's as warm southern California waters get. Woody will be freezing.
At surface. Much colder down there.
What an utterly ludicrous dive that was! At 66m I was sure he would head back to the surface... little did I know.
I can only think of another explanation than luck though: he might have dived with Trimix and set his computer to air on purpose (or by accident) to get some views.
He surely was way too calm and apart from breaking the max depth for his supposed air tanks did well, even bringing a deco bottle.
Love you guys! Was nice meeting you and Doug in Mexico, Woody!
335ft is insane what is this dude thinking??
10:01 “It gets worse before it gets worse” 😂 😂
Gus you’re so funny, so many brilliant lines… “the computer, I’m assuming must look like a Christmas tree” that’s another great one. Love the content guys keep it up!
I don't know if I would ever dive but I love watching your content.
I watch their content bc I *know* I will never dive 😅 living vicariously through their content 🙏
As a British diver it amazed me to find out you use Fahrenheit and feet as units of measurement. For years I thought it was Glocks and long rifles.
He surfaces, turns around, the dive instructor sitting on a boat shouting to him: Congratulation to your Paddy OWD you are now ready to conquer the ocean!
Part of me wonders about the actual depth. I don’t recall seeing his computer unless I missed it. Regardless still sketchy to dive solo. Thank you for always having great content!
Yeah. It can be click bait
No it’s real.
I have a theory about skydiving. Every time I go a little bit higher and use a slightly smaller parachute - soon I won't need one at all.
Same here, although I stopped when I got to the handkerchief size and have been jumping those ever since. 😳🤦😎🪂😂🤣😂🤭
Might as well start testing carbon fiber submersibles... lol
Idk… it seems like a troll video. No image of the actual computer screen, no video of an actual decompression. He could have been 80’ for all we know. Anyone can add beeping noises to a video
"How did he do it?!"
Easiest answer...he didn't.
He either wasnt that deep (we didn't see evidence), he wasn't in air (we didn't see evidence), and he just added captions and sound effects.
If you watch the lipski footage, then there is absolutely no light down at 85 metres and it's like night. There is plenty of light in his video at "100 metres". Hence, it's possible that you are correct and instead he went down to 40-60 instead. That would explain why he did not convulse or lose his head.
I'm not so sure, I thought it was fake so I went looking for pictures of dives at or below 300ft and I found a ship, the Bengasi, that is at 94m and the lighting seems about the same. At least from one picture and one YT video of a dive at that wreck. Every camera is different of course and if google wasn't such a POS I could find more examples but honestly I'm not totally convinced either way. From what I saw I lean more towards its probably real and that makes it even worse but if someone could see more dives from that depth it might be easier to tell one way or the other.
Come on 37 m 50 bar and no deco spot yet and coming form 102m. It must be fake!
Gus and Woody- What a crazy solo dive. Terrifying and so scary!
"He just got another extra life..." Gus is incredible.
I was watching an old Dive Talk video when the notification came through for the new vid... I've never clicked so fast!
Thanks for the great content guys - you're really helping me to be a better diver 👌
just insane... he literally passed out at 11:13
I had an encounter with a diver who went far too deep. We were doing a wall dive on the great barrier reef and we were at 30-35 meters. It was a large tour and most people there did not have advanced open water qualifications, so they were up at 10-15metres. Only 2-4 of us were lower along the wall. Far lower than the leader. I saw this narced guy who had dropped down the wall to the floor at about 65-80 meters. He is was spinning around, completely out of his mind and having a great time waving at everyone. The Dive Master shook his fists at him and signaled to come up but he didn't seem to understand. Afterwards the Dive Master said he was never going down there to get him. He said he was not going to die for a stupid person.
I briefly considered going down to get him, since I was the closest and I just got my Rescue Diver qualification but I'm not even sure the protocol for this (at that depth). I don't have that many dives myself and I knew I was at the recreational limit. I did however have plenty of air, so I considered just bouncing down and trying to bring him up.
The guy eventually became panicked and went straight to the surface but luckily for him he didn't get an embolism. Maybe the Dive Master was right to leave him down there? It did look like he was out of his mind, so I guess I would have been out of my mind too by the time that I got to him.
Rescuing people who are panicking in the water can be dangerous. Instead of just the victim, the rescuer might also be at risk of injury or death. If you had attempted to rescue him, you would have put yourself in danger. Fortunately, he survived that time. Hopefully as crazy as that dude is he won't do that dangerous stunt again.
Was everything ok with him later?
I have once physically pulled a (new, not idiot) diver by the tank valve from 35 meters back up to 15 meters. (I do have trainging for 40m).
I have also at one point been concerned enough with a diver on a liveaboard, who claimed to have 10k+ dives that I outright told the guides that if he follows me, I take no responsibility for his safety, as he repeatedly did 35-45 minute, 15-20m dives and came up with no air left, while me and my buddies where doing deep, 60+ minute dives. He had no situational awareness and on more than one occasion followed the wrong people around. He was supposed to do back to back liveaboards but was "requested" to disembark early..
@tigerman1978 that dude who claimed to have 10k+ divers sounds crazy, he acts so recklessly that I somehow imagine him being a drunkard who has nothing to live for somehow 😅.
Also good thing you helped out that new diver, although I'm curious how they reached 35m, I looked up that beginner open water driver has a max of 18m only 😬.
@@Zmienny Yeh the Dive Master said that he was very lucky. It was at the beginning of the dive, so he had a full tank of air. I'm guessing all of the excursion at that depth eventually caught up with him. Perhaps it was a C02 build-up that caused him to panic, because he was having a great time initially and he didn't look like he had any understanding of the situation he was in. He had the rapture of the deep and then suddenly switched to terror/panic. Hence, I think it must have been a C02 saturation reaction that filled him with dread. He wasn't checking his air or depth, so maybe it was just his body telling him "yo we might die here bro" and that scared him into making a dangerous beeline for the surface.
He was lucky that he didn't fizz. Perhaps if he was down there longer, the nitrogen build-up would have killed him when he resurfaced? I'm just speculating here, I'm guessing the risks of decompression sickness are compounded by the amount of nitrogen that's building up in your tissues. Hence, why short bounce dives have no decompression obligation. Perhaps somebody else can confirm "the science" behind that, since I'm not a deep diver.
In Rescue Diver training, they do instruct you how to approach a panicked diver and train you on getting your regulatory stolen, etc. I think "I could have been OK" but I was so chilled out in training because I knew the instructor was going to attack me. At 20-30 metres you can still make it to the surface without air, so even with no regulator, you have a bit of time to think and recover your mask and get your alternate. It's a bit different when you are far too deep, have narcosis, possible hypocapnia and then the guy starts fucking with you i.e. steals your regulator/knocks off your mask/kicks off a fin. I'm sure it would be a very different experience when you can't think properly yourself...
However, I was riding the current above him and thinking, "if the dive master isn't going down to him soon then is he gunna die?". I was really torn and I stayed at 35 metres for a long-time to watch him with a bit of mild narcosis myself. I was unsure what I was going to do but I was planning awkward rescue scenarios through my head. I'm still unsure if I should have grabbed him or not. If he was family, a friend or my girlfriend, then I know that I would have risked it. Not for my ex girlfriends though, I'm pretty sure a few of them would knife me for my air. :D
Why do you convert to feet? 90m is 10 ATA, 0.21 fraction * 10 = 2.1 PPO2. It doesn't get any easier.
At this depth, the gas density is far beyond the limit to prevent CO2 buildup, because of the hugely increased work of breathing.
He really tried to get killed in every way possible. CNS toxicity, hypercapnia, neurological DCS, pulmonary DCS, and you know, simply running out of gas.
Have you guys considered doing movie reactions together that are diving related? I really wanna see your guys' reactions and opinions on movies like 47 Meters Down! Pleeeease?😭 Love you guys! ❤
Gus did Sanctum long ago, but it can be hard to make a movie reaction on YT. I believe the full video is not available here anymore.
@AntonNidhoggr I know I watched it! That's why I'm hoping they'll do more!
Movies like that paint sharks as monsters when in reality most divers would feel very lucky to see sharks so not sure what there is to react on
@garethkeogh1623
I know, but they're still diving related, and many people watch them because they find them scary. DiveTalk could offer important knowledge and give their take on the accuracy of certain films. It could help change people's view of the ocean, oceanlife, and diving.
you guys need to find this dude and interview him live to get the details of why he did this and what the after effects were.
This guy has a death wish, probably not certified either.
Clearly he doesn’t need training
He's probably certified enough to be dangerous. I think psychology plays a big part in whether someone survives to be an experienced diver. I'm by nature a risk taker and one of the reasons I stopped diving. The ocean is a very unforgiving environment to take risks like this in.
@@brolohalflemming7042 biggest part of risk-taking, which you do, to some degree, every time you dive, is that you should stack the deck in your favor. Or in Gus's analogy, the revolver. You don't have ultimate control over something unforseen happening, but you can take huge steps to reduce its likelyhood or have a fall-back plan to deal with a problem.
This guy seemed to do none of these things. He went "all-in" without looking at his hand, and happened to get blind lucky. As Woody said, biggest issue I have here is solo-diving what is essentially an experimental test-dive. Even if he'd been close to this depth and PO2 in the past, it doesn't mean this time is any safer. In this specific case, I'm actually kind of glad there was not a second person, because that would just be another person playing russian-roulette. Second issue I have is just "Why?". You could go down to this depth much, much safer if you just used a proper gas mix. Hell, you would probably remember it better and experience it more clearly, too, without being narced out of your skull. I start to feel effects after about 100ft, this guy was over twice that. If you're trying to prove something to yourself or other people, the only thing your proving by doing this is you have no respect for your own life.
@@nickdubil90 Max depth according to the text was 102.7 meters or 337 feet. So not just over twice where you feel narced, but over 3x.
@@3xceIIent True. It is absolute recklessness. To clarify, I dive recreational mostly on the west coast and have over 20 dives, definitely not a veteran but not exactly a newbie. Deepest I have been on air is ~140ft, after getting deep-diving certified.
There is a certain feeling that starts to creep into your mind, in my case, about around 100ft, maybe slightly afterwards. It quickens the heartbeat, my cold body feels a little warmer, though it's actually not. The perception of my environment appears more favorable (in a very general sense 😅), but I also consciously notice the effect, which makes me a little reticent to continue descent.
At the deepest I have been, I don't feel drunk or stupid, but certainly impaired in a way where the number (depth) on my DC doesn't mean as much to me as it did earlier. However, I'm aware of this effect, so it is still easy at this depth to consciously tell myself to stay within these artificial limits.
If this guy got into those depths in deeper waters, with this mindset, I would imagine he would keep trying to follow the seabed until he actually experienced the end of the CNS Clock 💀. When you are narced, the number on your wrist has less and less meaning to you. If you set hard limits for yourself, usually you will be fine. But if you say, "I'm going to go as deep as I feel like," you will get to stupid deep depths without second-guessing yourself.
In Croatia we had divers that were harvesting red coral at 300ft and they were using Aladin dive computer, they would dive only on air and they would not make full safety stop, they would hang dive computer on line under boat so computer can do full deco stop, they would get out and go into home made chamber
"harvesting" or what it actually was destroying
@@alinepelzer-minimalistisch1694
It was used to make jewelry and other things, it is not an endangered species, today it is protected and extraction is strictly controlled. I was on dive today it was everywhere. it is a tradition that has been going on since the 14th century, it was not couple guys just going down and taking coral for no reason. Corals were not relevant in my story at all...
Yes also Croatia....deep diving caves on air as they didnt have the money for helium.
@@psxtuneservice don't know, there is one cave where couple divers died. But they were not trained cave divers
Funny, I was looking through my Dive logbook at my dives in Croatia 37 plus meters on air.... with "a few safety stops" since the dive boats had us doing no deco dives. That was a long time back and not what I'm interested in now. Running 2 dive computers with backup US Navy dive table. My Citizen dive watch recorded 197 ft on it.
That guy had places to go and fish to see. Great video, guys. It's always interesting listening to you guys.
Awesome video and commentary guys. I loved the way you both explained this dive in detail. It would be great if you could do an interview with this diver because you would be able to ask him all the right questions 💯👍🏼
Hi guys, found your channel just by chance a few weeks ago. Wow just wow. I love the way you annalise everything and explain to us non divers.
I now know diving is something I will never do, prefer to watch your content from the safety of my home. I am currently watching your old stuff to. Thank you so much ❤️
It sure is addictive.... and Gus' recommended vid at the end of each one will keep you hooked for hours!!
I would never have known how stupid this was before Dive Talk, this was a surprising video.
Some people don’t seem to value their lives over curiosity 😂
I genuinely don’t believe what I just watched are we sure he didn’t mistake feet for meters??? When I was young and dumb I did 55m and I was completely narked! Love the channel Guys👍🏻
Thank you for the great content Gus and Woody
Never dived before but I still love watching these videos
I got my TDI Advanced TriMix Cert in 1998. We used to do deep air dives as technical training dives. Same gear we would use on gas, but just did it on air. Deepest I'd go is around 205. I've had dives where I've been "ok" at 205' and one of the worst dives I've ever had was also at 205'. Never been so narc'd and got a metallic taste in my mouth at 205' (like you get before one hurls). I literally felt like I could just die if I had gown down any deeper...and I felt like I didn't CARE if I had died. Pretty sure that was Oxygen Pete (and Mr. Darwin) knocking on my door. My training kicked in, I did my dive as planned, stopped at 205'. My head instantly cleared at 195' - and all I could think of on the way up was "WTF did I continue this dive when I knew I was getting narc'd out of my mind on the way down".
Unless you've got many hundreds of technical dives under your belt, just say no to deep air dives, kids. Even then, you'd better dive with a buddy so they can at least haul your corpse back up to the surface when you don't make it.
PS. What a sh!t show of a dive. How this person lived is way beyond me.
Love this channel, so glad it blew up. Been here since around 8k subs.
Gus is looking like a real stud these days!
I can across you guys after my first assisted (easy, tourist, 10 minutes and guided) scuba dive.
It was the best moment of my life, and ever since I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can (before I take my padi and hopefully more).
The way you both explain everything is brilliant, in both scientific and lamen terms. Would love to see an online course with you guys!
i love your videos, my step grandpa cave dived and im thinking if doing it too! you guys are entertaining and knowledgeable, i love it
We need more information from the original uploader. Absolute cowboy with his own life.
Oh we had plenty of discussion with him on a Solo divers group. The guy didn’t seem to realize what he did was risky. Completely oblivious.
@@Yggdrasil42 Wait, for real? You spoke to him and he seemed to have _no clue_ of this being a near-statistically-guaranteed suicide mission? Any chance he was playing it up for clout, or is he really that f**kstump dumb in the face of lethal danger?
@@Yggdrasil42 how is it possible he's on air here? He spent so long way above 1.6
@@Yggdrasil42 What he did was not risky because the video is fake (no way there is so much light at 100m, and he never shows his computer). The only risk is if someone copies him.
Perfect timing for this upload
Were you about to go to 102 m on air?
@DIVETALK Only 101m but I'm narced right now. 😆 🤣
I personally do NOT put solo and deep dive together let alone on air!! But I like to better my chance of being able to dive again😂
Wow, that was a death dive smh. That guy was crazy and got really lucky!
Addicted to this channel. Really love what u both do. ❤❤
His ascent technique is to crawl along the bottom, through all that fishing line.
Is this guy trainable? I'm not so sure.
He tried to swim up at the bottom and kept on sinking back down, so perhaps he found it easier/safer than pumping air in and out of the bcd at those depths. He probably just couldn't handle the complexity of buoyancy because he had so much narcosis and he was overweighted.
I had to get my warm milky and my snuggle blanket for this late night post! What a treat 💤
And here I am drinking morning coffee watching this! Dive talk is a global thing.
This gave me such anxiety. How in the world? My heart is racing watching this. Every warning. I cannot imagine doing this.
Same.....
@@USOTPC it was so tough to watch
Its a Suunto D5. Very nice for average diving and day-to-day wearing (shows everyone you're a diver 😆). Does multiple gasses and deco. Not great at tech diving, because it cant show enough info at once. I'll be supplementing mine with a shearwater soon, and still won't be going past 1.6. What an absolute knob! And a horrible example to show the world!
Thanks for the vids!
I am a simple man. I see a new Dive talk video and I smash the like button.
Keep keeping it simple!
Punch it Chewie!! Had me rolling
Finally a new dive talk. 😃
Hi Gus, I've been following this channel for a few years now, and its great to see how much weight you have lost you look really great, love from 🇮🇪
Thanks to watching your channel, I just completed my SSI Open Water cert over the weekend. ☺ It was such an awesome experience, I'm hooked! (And understand so much more of the terminology and what you're talking about now.) I'm also very fortunate that I live in Queensland, Australia so I have no shortage of incredible places to explore!
He might be an ancient alien with gills....
Great video, I would have liked to have seen actual computer display though, or on screen profile . Could be actual depths but could be edited also? We are taking him being on air as read too which may not be the case in reality. If genuine then he definitely has a screw loose 😊
Hey guys it’s my birthday. Just got back from the bar where I made friends because I don’t know anyone here in delware. Thank you for the video .
Happy Birthday
its 12 in the morning for me and love ur content keep it up
Nope! The meters were feet. The descend rate was way too fast in comparison to the breathing rate to be accurate. Furthermore the depth color would have been completely dark blue at that depth.
Wrong! The meters were... meters. We are talking of a Greek/European diver who uses the Metrick system like the rest of the world. For that dude, feet are just an organ.
Some of these videos really make me reconsider this as a hobby….its crazy how you guys don’t fear anything…how are you two not scared to death
1 am nothing to do. Dive Talk video...perfect timing. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Edit: Omg this kept me on the edge of my seat. Freaking crazy.
You guys rock keep up the awesome, educational and entertaining content.
I really want to become a certified diver one day when i have time. ❤
on 11 December 1978 myself and 3 buddies went down to 217 feet ( just over 66m ) at Traux Biches, Mauritius on normal air. We had to stop as one diver started narcing badly and besides we were all suffering from Oxygen poisoning. We were all very experienced, the dive was planned for 220 feet, but abandoned for safety. Looking back now i think we were crazy, but when you are young you are indestructible :-)
He went deeper than the deepest point in Eagle's Nest cave! Insane 🤯
In 1999 Mark Andrews "set" an Air diving record depth of 156.4 M. But blacked out and was rescued by his support diver. Sheck Exley & Bret Gilliam (awesome pioneers) did regular air dives beyond 100 Meters. Ship wrecks at 30-40 meters are just as awesome as those beyond scuba limits.
@divetalk why don't divers wear blaze orange or florescent green wet suits to easily see each other?
Those colors don’t work underwater. Orange becomes dark brown
And we in the UK have to usually convert Fahrenheit so nice change!
Love your videos guys; you have a great rapport.
I vaguely remember partial pressures when I was doing my Paramedic training!
Thank you Steven! Cheers.
@@DIVETALKyou’re welcome. I’m not a diver, similar to many others on here I guess but love the humour and friendly chat. It also reminds me of my medical training that I forget sometimes as I never attended many or any diving incidents. Keep up the good work and most of all stay safe especially after the American Express incident! 😊
He is the absolut SCUBA DIE-VER . I live in Greece, loving scuba diving and when i first saw this video i thought you must watch it and voila!!!
I've mentioned it on this channel before, but when I did my CMAS open water 1, we were taught "Do Dive Alone, Is To Die Alone". You always have to be within arms reach of a dive buddy.
There are good reasons to dive solo, but in general that rule is wise unless you’ve specifically trained and equipped for solo diving.
Surely he had Trimix and just said it was Air for the clicks. 100m on Air is ridiculous.
You can hear him gasping the thick air down at depth, so I don't think that's helium that he's breathing.
@@richardjbarlow You are probably right. This was just insanity.
For info the regulations change few years ago, but as a CMAS instructor in French Polynesia , we could go to 200ft with air. The ppo2 max at 1.6b. With a single tank. Around 10 min max at the bottom, ( descent included), very slow ascent with around 20 min deco. So around 60’ dive, with 100 cubic tank. Spare tanks under the boat for safety, and for sure o2 available on the boat.
I did a solo dive to 49 meters with 2 aluminum 80's of Air. 2 weeks ago. I had 31 minutes of deco and the dive was 1:58. No biggie as I do dives like this once in awhile. With this guy I don't know how many times I said out loud, "Oh God!" I don't know how he survived.
This guy took do your own research to a whole new level....
One member of Cousteau's crew used to dive over 200 ft deep on pure air quite frequently. Went few times down even to 300 ft. He was quite "resistant" to narcosis effects compared to the others and overall very athletic individual. After one of such dives to aprox 200 ft, after he surfaced in usual deco procedure he got very dizzy and sick. He couldn't get out from bed for several days and complained about seeing flashes of lights while having closed eyes. He fully recovered to tell the story
Great Video BTW.
I am starting to suspect, that the guy on the video might be tricking us into believing he actually did the dive, but somehow he never shows his dive computer, so we have to believe the texts that he put on the video. Woody was surprised he didn't get CNS convulsions, I as well Maybe he just faked the whole dive. What do you guys think?
I'm not a diver whatsoever, and this is my first Dive Talk video. I don't know what the heck a PO2 is, or what any of this fancy talk means, but I really enjoyed the banter, and video! Is there a video on Dive Talk where you guys break this type of stuff down for lay-idiots?
On the convulsion point.
If I recall correctly, a study in a chamber took people to a crazy ppo2 something like 3.0 to see how long it takes for symptoms.
The first set of symptoms where mild at 3 mins for people. Most people had minor/major symptoms by 14 minutes (and stopped that point). There however was 1 outlier who lasted over an hr before convulsions started
i have been deeper on air..on subnautica!! i love your channel,greetings on the friend
Crazy stuff. One can tell that even you guys were shocked as you did not comment on him crawling on the sea floor all the time :D Gus looking great! Woody as well of course ;)
Safety third!
Love it 😂 love you guys
This diver seems to be an OC technical diver on a bounce dive. He knows that it is very difficult to not exceed the 100% CNs limit on deep dives to 100m. He has calculated his gasses, (50bar left on Twin 15s is close to 67 bar for 1/3rds). He knows the area well, has excellent visibility and warm temperatures, all fudge factors for Nitrogen Narcosis. He understands accelerated Deco (Nitrox 40 Sling), does not go on O2 at 6m (knows his high CNS clock is sky-high) and even seems to utilize sliding Deco stops. One problem is the level of Nitrogen Narcosis he has to manage. This can be seen at the level of confusion as to the direction back to shore at depth. A line to 40m would have helped for navigation. The second would be the insane Gas density of Air at that depth which could escalate his breathing efforts to a level the lungs could not accommodate. He must have considered the risk factors and judged them acceptable. it is one of those dives, very well done if you come back, if you did not make it, we have told you so.
Thank you both for reacting to videos like this, I don't care if people think you guys are being mean or not, Dive Talk is doing a public service to show new and inexperienced divers like my self what is SAFE and what is NOT SAFE, thank you Gus and Woody! Maybe he didn't convulse because he's part fish, he might be related to you Woody 😀
Great video
Good old Dive Talk I like - Gus and Woody reacting to another crazy diver! 😅
Few years ago in the red sea we had a couple of guys join the dive boat.
We went in as separate groups. mine first and these two guys last. When I get back on the boat they are already there, kitted down and cleaned up.
Instead of enjoying the life of the red sea, they did a ~60m bounce dive and was back on the boat, having spent all their air (single al80 tanks) in 20 minutes.
Both the dive guides was tech divers and first chewed them out for being idiots, which didnt take AT ALL "we do this all the time at home". When asked if they knew their SAC rates, they didnt even know what it was, when asked in a different way, they couldnt tell how much air they use per ammount of time.
They were "grounded" on the sundeck for the rest of the day and told never to return to the dive op in question.
I did a solo bounce in Thailand to 60 with 2 al80 tanks but ran out of air by the end of my deco
@@intrepidsouls Yeah, I dont think those two guys paid much attention to deco stops or anything else tbh
Yea this dude was just wow , someone interview this guy plz.
