And women want to be allowed in the military. They are just going to get people killed.
Well, that may be true but look at a couple things first. Some women are just born to be in that position same as men, that's a given. Second, women seem to be like this because that's just how men and women have been forcefully separate for a very long time. Better to start fixing up the shit our ancestors fucked up now better than never. Start getting women into fighting shape and better equipped to handle all roles in society. That's half of our population. I don't know about you, but I'd rather risk my life to make sure that half of our species amounts to something rather than keeping them down because of something they could not control. I've met some seriously stupid women in my life, but that's not to say you can't raise your daughter to actually pull her own fucking weight rather than just sit in school looking pretty hoping for some other human being to take care of them for the rest of their life.
Don't be ridiculous. One woman panicking underwater has nothing to do with all women's suitability in the military.
Guys, remember. One woman panicing under duress clearly qualifies as accurate representation for all women. It's a proven fact that no man has paniced, ever.
found the village idiot, everybody. Calm down, he isn't lost.
Thanks, now I have toothpaste all over my screen! -.-
Not a pleasant experience for anyone. I’m glad she’s OK. One tip for rescues like that (when the reg is out) is to press the purge button when it’s near their mouth. There’s enough air coming out for them to breathe without the reg being completely in place. The sensation of bubbles hitting their face might not be great, but it’s better than the alternative. Anyway, good job on the rescue!
This is also the correct technique if you have a regulator that's freeflowing uncontrollably. Hold it at an angle right in front of your mouth and you can safely sip air out of the stream of bubbles through pursed lips without sucking in water, then make your safe ascent.
Panic kills, that's why it's so very important to practice basic drills, even in a pool with just a mask and snorkel, try holding your breath as long as possible (obviously not to the point of blacking out), take your mask and fins off, put back on, flood and clear your mask, see how many widths or lengths of the pool you can swim along the bottom before coming up, practice very slow controlled ascents. Practice on your own time, over and over, for days or weeks if necessary. The ultimate goal is to become completely comfortable underwater.
I was always surprised that there is always a couple of people in almost every dive class that extremely nervous underwater, I've even seen a few complete non-swimmers sign up. I place most of the blame on money hungry organizations such as PADI and their "Most anyone can scuba dive" sales pitch attitude. Then there is "Discover Scuba" that many resorts offer, where you can go scuba diving that same day, most often, it's people pressured by their scuba diving spouse or BF/GF to learn, what you frequently end up with, is someone who completely terrified the whole time they're underwater, it's a good recipe for disaster.
Non of that actually works when (real) panic gets the best of you for whatever reason. I mean : I am NOT saying experience and drills are a detail (far from it) but panic blurrs it all. There's little difference when you are out of your mind if you have 30 or 500 dives logged, and how many times you put on and off and on your gear during a nice quiet drill. Best advice really is to be careful to avoid at all cost hazardous situations to happen, and dive with the right people. Most accidents actually happen not because of lack of skills but because of recklessness, doing too much for your skills, lack of planning/management or following others while not motivated.
Do you know why she panicked ? I'll give you a clue, she was looking at the floor and the second after that everybody around her was gone. How did that happened ? When the monitor make a sign to ask for everbody to go up she didn't look at him, she was looking at the floor. The monitor should have see that, it's perfectly clear in this video. It's obvious to me who knows basic security rules in diving because I practice apnea : you have to connect with people in the eyes. He should have insist, even touching her to make her aware of his presence and the order to go up. It's 100% the monitor fault, he is the one in charge of the smooth running of the dive. What is the point of looking at people and making signs if you are not making sure they saw you in the first place ? None. So yeah, nice "save" after lacking the basics of diving security and putting in danger his customers.
Another paddy course completed successfully
🤣🤣🤣true!
lmfaooo xD
Fantastic job bud you are the man you jumped on that fast as hel glad you were there God bless.
What good job ? Because he rescued her ? Well he put her in this position in the first place by not making sure she saw him expecting everybody to go up. You can cleary see that in the video. And that is call a poor monitor job. And I witnessed many of them, diving is dangerous sports, novice a putting their life these monitor they trust to know what they do.
@@maximeroux8143 nonsense. you obviously have no clue about scuba diving.
from the look on her face,she is never going back down there
Good save dude, panic can set in quickly especially in newly qualified or students on a ow course.
Those who take the pis* in the comments cant be divers or certainly not someone to dive with as a buddy, as the mentality of teamwork is not there
that was insane. was she doing her OW dive or a DSD? she sure didn't seem be a certified diver. did she just rip her mask and regulator off??? crazy. props how you saved her!!!
I just want to know what happened so i can use it as a learning experience for my newly certified daughter
Inability to ascend, she wasn't paying attention in class.
Firstly I should say I wasn’t there and don’t know anything about this particular story. However, I’ve been diving for 30 years and teaching for 25. The main reason for this is likely to be inexperience. Possibly coupled with an avoidable equipment issue. If she tried to add air into her jacket in an attempt to go up, but it didn’t work, she may have freaked out straight away. Rather than go through a mental checklist to identify the issue and deal with it. She wasn’t in any danger (she’s on the bottom so couldn’t go deeper) until she panicked, which is why I’d suggest inexperience played a part.
For the nervous dad I’d say don’t worry. It’s extremely rare for this to happen. make sure your daughter builds experience gradually and doesn’t dive outside her qualifications. She’ll have a lifetime of fun.
It might be that her inflator hose had popped off, which is easily identified and fixed. Good self checking and a buddy check (a divers routine check) should pick up these issues.
@@porticoman so why she cant go ascend? It seems that she already tried her best but still looks like a solid rock
I think she lost her Reg couldn’t find it so she couldn’t breath and was panicking, she was to frantic to really accept the reg as well
Panic is a huge killer, it’s scary but NEVER panic or you can and sadly will die, I’m a new diver as well, listen to your instructors, have a good buddy and practice out of air situations for sure
@@zakaria600 she wasn't paying attention, so was the monitor who clearly so that and didn't insist on her. You can clearly see that she was looking at the floor and that he didn't give a F. He is in charge of the dive, it's his fault.
Better go down again real quick and do double safetystop (don’t know context here)
Are they alive afterwards…?
Hopefully not, if you're stupid enough to pull the air out of your mouth
ตามมาละสิ
Omg the visibility is shit
I don't care. I DON'T CARE how common it may be or how panicked you could possibly get, why the fuck would you take your shit OFF at the BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
People do weird stuff when they panic. Having a mask and regulator on can feel claustrophobic, and the basal animal response if you're having trouble breathing is to get stuff away from your face. Unfortunately that's the wrong response when underwater.
I'm panic diver even I have my AOW. Yet I still cant overcome the breathing n almost killed myself at 25Meter where I started panic lucky I manage to breath slowly but i still felt uncomfortable. wanna get out the water ASAP, the safety stop was like 3 hours. I don't have the confident dive again, after spending all those cash. I felt more uncomfortable when the coach said if you inflated your BCD. I will just let you fly (a.k.a die) understand coach are human but at least at that moment should calm the panic diver. tell them shouldn't ever inflate your BCD, its dangerous. conclusion I have shitty diving experiences which really not fun at all.
What a poor monitor job, she didn't aknowledge him once, he looks at her but she doesn't look at him and he just doesn't give a F. Either he didn't well explains the rules to follow in the first place, either she was already having a problem. Diving is dangerous and novice are putting their life in your hands. The title should say "bad monitoring leads to panic."
See this is why you never ever send a woman that do a mans job
Is this the Olympic swimming pool in Rio?
No it's too clean.
Lmao damn savage
The last thing you want to do when diving is panic.
Oh really? Is that the last thing you want when diving? How about 73 Great Whites and a cut on your arm?
He said "to do"... what are you implying that you want to do 73 great whites with a cut in your arm? Dirty guy I tell you.
That would cause a panic
@@footytang If you don’t panic you will be fine
No the last thing you want to do is pull the air out of your mouth what a stupid b she is
As I see the situation,she panicked,because she did not seem to be ascending.She looks like she was "flapping"her arms at one point to achieve height !!Inexperience & inadequate training.Good skills by the DM.
Clearly someone farted a direct air bubble at her...ruthless.
😂😂
😂
I had a minor panic while diving once when a school of fish were passing by and they decided to bump into me. Fish are way stronger than they look.
did it hurt?
I encountered a very mean dive duck.
thought it said scuba diver picnic but then it started getting dark..
during my diving course a women had a panic attack too. it was a simple exercise dive in the shallow end of the pool. we practiced retrieving our regulator when dropped, so one by one we were asked by the DM to drop our reg, breathe out, retrieve and put it back in. all goes well until this woman couldn't find her reg at the first time, she starts to do the motion panicky making it even harder to find her reg even harder. DM goes in, grabs her reg and puts it back in. this all happened literary just inches under the surface. if she would've stood up she would be out of the water. funny how panic works.
*Oh look, if it's not the blacks then it's a woman. Why am I not surprised.*
killer edge bro
confirmed 12 year old edge lord
edggggggggggggggggggggge as fuck
*4 comments, all have the word 'edge' in them, how original. The voters have spoken though, it's O.K to be upset that i'm right and you're wrong guys.*
CapitanRape lurk harder
Despite all the comments to the contrary from youtube's resident armchair experts you did what needed to be done. 15 meters isn't that deep and you had obviously only just reached the bottom based on your checks. You learn from these situations and next time you may do better but your options are severely limited and waiting till she had a lungful of water and passed out before bringing her to the surface was obviously not an option.
When you've been in a nasty situation underwater you'll realise how quickly panic sets in and you don't blame the girl, you just get her to try again, in a safer environment and deliberately knock her reg out and mask off firstly when she's expecting it and then not, until she learns to be ok with small problems and not make them big ones. My friend and I used to do this to each other and it really helps.
A demeaning sexist attitude displayed in many comments below will only hinder you in life. Women are completely capable in all aspects of life.
She was panicking. I don't think this makes her stupid, clueless or a bitch. I don't understand why its necessary to attack her. do you think it makes you look good in comparison?
+heywhatsup65 if you presume a lot, she seems like a moron. Ever considered that you overlooked something?
The dive industry has learned alot from these situations. These situations are how many of the safety rules came to be. People dies because they didn't know any better. Now we all have this information but very little, if any, of it was used in this situation.
This lady and most of the divers were not being safe, or competent, in this video in a number of ways and it's most likely because they don't view their dive skills as very necessary to be able to dive safely. All to many vacation divers, dive only once a year, which technically requires you to undergo a "Refresher" course, for $100 or more, that lasts half a day, which most people avoid like the plague because they just want to go diving and not actually prepare to dive safely and the dive shops don't really care about maintaining safe diving standards nor do most dive instructors and DMs I've seen.
It's a real problem that the dive orgs are not willing to deal with properly because it would be too expensive for their profit margin expectations.
You're wrong David. Women are physically weaker, and their lungs carry less oxygen. Social justice does not trump science.
+Owen Ent actually it often does. But despite spite men being physically stronger than women as a broad generalisation, that statistic does not give any confidence that any randomly selected man will be stronger than any randomly selected female. That being said strength is about all we can claim to dominate. Women compete in all avenues of life and win and an attitude that says otherwise will ensure your place at the bottom of a more just society that recognises equality where it matters.
BTW men's larger lung capacity that you speak of also has to support a larger body so it's not really a benefit is it?
That was scary as hell just to watch. You divers are hard as fuck.
This one looks stupid as f***
Wow!! Not trying to be funny: breathtaking video!!
Lucky her you realized quickly what was happening.
We all need to see this, to identify any similar situation asap.
Congrats Steve.
Great job saving her.
That was a terrible situation.
I've never scuba dived before, but having been swimming since I was a pup, and almost drowning white water rafting, it's all about comfort level, exposure to the water, and staying calm.
staying calm is impossible for anyone not comfortable in water.
having not been in water much in my adulthood, I can say I'd likely have panicked too, but not to that extent.
Thank goodness you noticed, her partner did not, or was also a tourist and didn't know what to do.
Kudos man you saved her life!
Cheers
Well, there was this once in which i took a perfect landed Taekwon kick onto my chest. It didnt hurt tbh, but it landed perfectly so to make me stop breathing.
Well, I kept cool and calm for the first 5s. Then, just somehow, you just automatically start to panic and couldnt calm down even trying to, my body just wouldn't answer. Seems like stop breathing triggers despair from your body.
Good save dude! I only solo dive. Never had to deal with someone else in the middle of a freak out. Not for real anyway. Shes alive thanks to you.
that was a really quick reaction. .. props .. you saved her life .. real talk.. she was panicking all foul ..
This video is both shocking and disturbing. Poor woman and lucky lady at the same time. As a diver with only ~20 dives under my belt I can spot issues right away. Her training is paramount to follow through identifying procedures to recover her regulator, fix her mask, etc, to communicate, and remain calm during an emergency. I hope she and her diving buddy can use this experience to get better trained and back in the water. Whomever was leading the dive can learn from this as well.
Retriever regulator? She ripped it out of her mouth and she ripped the mask off her face I wouldn't risk getting deep compression sickness to save someone that ignorant
Watched this video. Believe that her mask got flooded, got water into her nose and started choking, a difficult and scary situation. There is no reason for her to pull off her mask if it is an out-of-air situation.
I trained and tamed myself to deal with mask flooding or accidental removal by doing repeated mask removal exercise in a swimming pool.
This is why I have a problem with shortened training sessions
I think you did a great job Steve. Congrats on saving a life
anyone with downsyndrome should not be allowed to dive that deep... so dangerous. yikes
That poor guide has to risk getting bent because someone pops out a reg in a panic. Damn.
+Scott Gustafson That poor guide shouldn't be a guide. Ascend is a question and an answer. She did not answer.
+Josh Ramsden she answered with her inability to answer. you're an idiot
Your comment is pure retardation.
+Josh Ramsden Wow that is a real comment, holy shit. Tell me, did that sound good in your head? Because to me that is definitely on my Top 5 stupidest argumentative points on the internet ever.
This isn't a "She can't say yes if she's unconscious" thing that people say when explaining date rape, this is a matter of life and death. She clearly lost her ability to use her motor skills due to the panic attack she was having, and you expected her to respond to him asking if she wanted to ascend all while she's drowning.
good save on the DM'S part. Group dives are mixed luck, I have over 70 dives and am working on my stress and rescue course. last group dive I did I was paired with someone who was brushing up for his wreck dive trip. after he almost did a uncontrolled feet first assent in a wetsuit (which is dam near impossible ) I asked him how many dives he had and he said that was his 7th dive. I watched him a lot more carefully on the next dive. Moral of the story, talk to your dive buddy and know their limits, your life may depend on it.
Great video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
I witnessed this with my mom in a pool. She saw her friend drown in a river when she was nine. She was always afraid of water, and made an attempt to learn to swim in her late 30's. She was doing great with her lessons, she learned the basics, and when it was time for her to go solo, her friend drowning would flash in her head and she literally sank to the bottom, like this woman did. The woman in this clip was doing fine, but, something triggered her and caused her to panic.
Are they diving in piss ?
Green and Blue light passes better through water, making everything look bluish green at depth. Typically the videos you see of diving past the Basic Open Water limit are color-corrected in post production. You notice the color return to normal during the ascent.
Was this her first dive? I've rarely ever seen someone panic like this... There didn't seem to be a reason... She spat out her reg, tore off her goggles and then refused emergency regulator, and wouldn't ascend. Lucky you were only at 15 meters... That was scary-fast ascent! But you had to do it... no choice. She's lucky you were there. The other diver with her initially didn't seem to know what to do.
Was not first dive. But I think she was a tourist so not used to the cape town water...
+Steve Gerber I've seen that happen in the quarry near me, people who vacation dive come there to take some classes locally after getting their OW in the ocean and they can't handle vis only being 2 meters or less on a clear day with it usually being less.
Her behavior does seem weird, however, if her oxygen supply was tainted from the start, then it could have been that she was being asphyxiated. The result would be a sort of delirium like the one we saw in the video.
Panic is usually caused by a lack of proficiency. As well the "rescuer" here, Steve, didn't have to do anything. In this circumstance, because he is not a dive professional or staff of any kind, he is only putting himself at risk, physically and financially, by getting involved in the situation. You should be well acquainted with the "Thee before me" saying, which was created because of situations exactly like this.
My guess is she ran out of air. She couldn't inflate her BC, and therefore couldn't get air through her regulator either. Basically stuck with no air. Buddy breath with your secondary, or if she won't take the secondary due to panic, rip off her weight belt and send her up. Don't need 2 people with the bends. Although in warmer water, she may have not became fully boyant. In California, we have to wear 30 pounds, and taking that off will get you right to the top.
Good job! Panic at depth is subject to near-drowning, lung overexpansion injuries and death. It can happen to anyone even experienced divers.
Uuow !!! This is for far the most panic situation I ve never seen !!
The struggling to put the regulator back to her moth is so stressing !!
this happens because tourist people think diving is like going to the Park to see ducks
What did she say later about what caused her to panic? How long has she been diving? What is her certification level, etc? More info would be greatly appreciated...
this kind of shit is exactly why I don't fuck with the ocean man!
I'm a PADI Staff Instructor, SSI Instructor, Emergency First Responder Instructor and full Tec Trimix Diver and I can tell you that this is a bunch of people who don't know how to dive well at all. It's what I like least about Divemastering recreational vacation divers. Many, many of them take diving and safety for granted in my experience.
On the dive procedures I saw in the video..... I might have seen one LPI held high to purge as needed on ascent...one...that's pathetic. Ascent rate of everyone looked to be faster than 30 fps before the incident. Is this the case Steve? Also, I saw no sign for a 3 min safety stop, only ascend signal, when it appeared there was every opportunity to do so. Everyone was sculling for dear life and not confident in the water, except for Steve. Steve looked calm and stable by watching his hands but I could be wrong.
About the incident.....the lady should never dive again. She does not have what it takes to dive safely. Scuba diving is not basket weaving or tennis. It is not for everyone, just like skydiving this sport is dangerous and it is not for everyone despite what any dive certification organization wants you to believe in their marketing. People like this lady put other divers, like poor old Steve here, at great risk no different than a drunk driver on the road.
Steve, while your actions are admirable, unless you are a certified Rescue Diver, and even if you are, I would HIGHLY recommend that you DO NOT ever put yourself at risk like that again by conducting a needless CESA on your part. Interfering with another diver, especially while not knowing exactly what you're doing and they are panicking, can be very dangerous for everyone.
Aside from risking barotrauma, DCS or death to yourself, depending on local laws and your own country's laws, you also risk being sued for anything that lady might have done to herself. You have zero obligation to help her and if she died or got hurt, she, or her family, could blame you for it because you intervened.
I know you were just trying to save her life but being able to let someone own their own shit, and keeping yourself on your own safe and established dive plan, is just as big a part of safe diving as being familiar with your OOA drills. There is a saying in diving that goes, "Thee before me."...meaning if you have a problem that I can't safely help you with, you are on your own and I will keep myself safe while you die. That is the reality of scuba diving.
Very informative, TU.
Kelly droppin knowledge
Padi DM here. Good info!
so you would just let your student drown instead of helping? great attitude of an instructor.
SMH....Kant take bitches anywhere.....
Damn.... After reading the comments I figure Steve was not the dive leader but definitely great you were there! The amount of bubbles before the panic could hint of a freeflow? Could also explain the panic if she didn't know what to do. Would have been nice if the video was a tad longer so you could know what kind of chatter ensued. Pad on the shoulder, non the less.
Has someone ever pointed out that you didn't receive OK sign from her and you should have never started ascending????
That is true. However I believe she would have ended up in the same situation... I believe the panic was caused by inability to ascend which would still have occured.
whats "ok sing"
+Rahh ok sign
ohh
+Rahh instructor need to ask everyone is everything ok. Person who panicked didnt show "OK". Sorry for my english.
Anyone know what happened? Why would you even panic like that without any stimuli?
i know it a stupid question but why she panic like that ?, why she just din't get the air regulator back
@Steve Gerber : You stayed 15m max ? How long ? Anyway, congratulations to you
всякое бывает. Молодец что спас и сам не растерялся
It seemed you guys rose up really fast, and then I saw that red ball looking thing bobbing in the water, is that what helped you? I don't know anything about scuba diving, I'm just curious about what that is.
What was her problem? Whyd she rip off her gear?
Steve Gerber, can you please answer?
mask flooding I've seen it so much in the field
It's actually a surprisingly common, if completely irrational, response to panic whilst diving.
giving her ya air so she can live that's caring
bruh. she ripped off her own breathing apparatus .
what do you do if you have to sneeze while diving?
Hold your hand over your reg, sneeze, then clear your mask.
they go up way to fast.
ok let me get this straight... she panict for some reason and then she rips of everything that keeps her alive under water ?
nailed it.
The surface looks far closer then it seems at depth.
Not saying she's not a panicking idiot but just stating the most likely thought process. Also the other diver should of purged the regulator which would of allowed her to breath.
I personally have never seen anyone so stupid just as stupid as the look on her face LOL
It is of utmost importance to regain calm and then ascend. I'm guessing her instinct could've been to inflate her bcd manually, it's the only reason I can think of for her to want to take out her reg. This is what proper training and a buddy is for. As long as you can breathe and kick with your legs, you're fine. The rest you can manage once you've surfaced. The most important thing for your safety and your health is to ascend with a safety stop, calmly. I find panicking can be avoided by minimizing things in that manner; breathe, calm, see my buddy/OK, know where my octo is and so on. Like doing a buddy check on yourself in your head.
She probably didn't even have a diving certification and a) She didn't know how to put the mask back on, b) She didn't know how to retrieve the regulator and c) she didn't know that she has an emergency regulator.
Damn that was frightening
I know it was stupid. What an idiot to pull the air out of her mouth
What kind of damage can be caused by that fast of an ascent? Are there no problems with Δp?
If you have a residual build up of nitrogen in your blood, caused by the high pressure down there and long dive, then when you come up too fast, it doesn't have time to leave your body in a safe way and can cause bubbles in your blood that can kill you. Else you can burst an ear drum from the pressure in your ear not escaping slowly enough. If you hold your breath, then you can burst your lungs from the change in pressure on accent.
Diving is fun :D
Although 15m is not that bad. So only the era thing and lung thing would be issues.
CapeTown South Africa
Looks more like the diving pool at the Rio Olympics
That joke is gonna be out of date in about 5 hours.
No shark le Blanc :p?
White shark
+Break Editor Why would you call this video "awesome"? What's wrong with you
why she couldn´t ascend?
I wonder if she was certified.
Rule number one when when exploring unknown and/or dangerous places: DON'T PANIC. Also always bring a towel. And frankly, digital watches are completely pointless and a stupid idea.
No rule number one no matter what happens don't rip the air out of your mouth
Shit.. ive been diving a couple of times but how do you equalise the pressure of another person that panics ?
When someone is that panicked (spits out their reg and doesn't take it back); it's a matter of getting them to the surface or letting them drown. Ruptured ear drums are better than dead.
guys....you equalize going down not up. When you ascend too quickly you can get the bends not ruptured ear drums. Also, if you dont exhale you can rupture a lung
you cant leave women alone for 1 second because this is what happens...
LOL
lmao
Just out of curiosity, what was the dive profile? Max Depth, time, gas, etc.? Did she show any signs or symptoms of DCS, given O2 on the boat? I'd be worried about AGE considering she appeared to be holding her breath the whole way up.
Hopefully she keelled over from the Benz
I realize that they had to surface, but don't you get the bends ascending that fast?
Whether you get the bends or not is a function of time to ascended and depth ascended. I'd assume here, they were shallower than expected.
The bends is better than drowning.
at 50 ft they probably would be ok, they practice emergency ascent in training. The main thing is you dont want to hold your breath, so if anyone was at risk it was probably the lady, the instructor likely let air out as he ascended.
She came up really fast 😬
I hope she's fine now!
Can anybody explain what happened, why she was going in panic?
It looks like she spit out her regulator( the thing she breaths out of) and hit her goggles off of her face so she panicked not knowing what to do.
+Quentin Bahr, not knowing what to do is something that comes from poor training. It can't be the reason for panicking, at least if you're trained. If there's a panicking diver that "forgets" what to do, that is a totally different situation.
+Peter Kisdaroczi that's true. in moments like that your dive training should kick in. I have had a instance where I started to panic then it hit me and my training kicked in and I was able to recover.
I was at a safety stop and air was getting low, not out but lower than I like, so a signaled my buddy and he handed me his backup reg. I thought I cleared it but than I took in a big breath of water. panic and fear hit me. then I calmed, grabbed my reg took a breath as the checked his back up. all was good after that.
point of the story is that person needs better training. they should have dropped their weights and did an emergency ascent
Well she's not fine they said A week later she died in a ski lift accident, she probably jumped off the ski lift in a panic PS they said she survived this diving accident with two busted eardrums pure ignorance
Great, now I will dream this and wake up gasping for air or not. But what doesn't kill me, yada, yada, yada.
Why did she take it off
Because she's a complete idiot obviously if you want to rip the air out of your mouth then you get what you deserve. Too bad she didn't
What went wrong, why was she not able to ascend?
Maybe had to much weight on weight belt. Maybe had problems inflating the bc...
lol she takes off the mask in the water.... She thinks is in home and playing with VR headset lol!
why they let such amateurs doing diving?
Scuba diving is very dangerous.
Recreational scuba diving is an incredible, owesome, relaxing, calm and fun experience. But you have to have in mind that
a) You are in an environment that you weren't made for. You have to respect it
b) Your well-being depends on your equipment. You have to take care of it so that it can take care of you
c) You have to know tour shit. Get a desent training cource.
d) You need a dive buddy (boobs optional)
To me it seems more dangerous to drive than to dive. At least, a drunk asshole can't ruin your day while diving.
Apparently youve never dove before.
What was the explanation for her panicking?
and why not emergency inflate
Waiting here for an explanation.
She panicked because she was not a confident or well trained diver. She really should not be diving at all. She didn't perform a buoyant emergency ascent because she had no control over her motor skills or mental capacity. Lost in the sauce, so to speak.
It's obvious she's in a diving course.
+KellyTheLionfishHunter yeah man type of thing happens all the time, not specifically to diving, but more of the sauce part. A great man once said, "Without sauce you're lost, but you can also get lost in the sauce."
This is why men shouldn't bring women scuba diving with them. If women want to scuba dive, then they should do it with other females.
Steve; How and where was the panicing diver trained and how many logged dives did she have?
Sorry. I have no idea. Must have been tourists.
But you are the cameraman?
+Dick Heijboer Yes. used a gopro head mount
Okay..maybe it was the stress... but a woman nearly drowns in front of you, and you don't know how and when she was trained and how many logged dives she had. You guess she was a tourist... I hope you asked her if she was alright after a minute or 10 ? ;))
I'm from Cape Town I did over 200 dives there...The conditions are always terrible ......I almost died on my deep advanced drpped 30 meters in 10C water with zero viz and then my instructor promptly dissapeared
at 15 m and already ascending I would have pulled her emergency inflate and mine like noones business.
I'd panic at her refusing her regulator or my octo.
what emergency inflate are you talking about?
filmed at the Olympics
She panicked coz she lost her breathing thingy and she couldn't breath
very insightful. thank you
Can you explain it simply without the technical language? Thanks.
What are you talking about she ripped it out of her mouth
serious question: is this a real panic or was this a training drill? As an instructor, I've had this this happen once and it wasn't fun...
you can't be serious. how can you be an instructor? obviously this is not a training situations but real panic.
@@deadstock82 come see me. i'll give you instruction... this person wasn't ready to dive
luck she was not 40m down
+Steve Gerber Where was this shot?
Cape Town South Africa
Okey, thanks dude!
Hi Steve, great job! Is she finally ok or did she hold the breath ? On the other hand, was the bcd not working or a down current occurs? It seems she can't go up due to negative buoyancy or down current...
yeah . . fuck that . :l
i just shat my pants
then ate it
@@victoriabrodie9903 hwo did it taste?
Hi Steve
I'm a Scuba instructor, and I would like to use your video for my courses. Would that be ok? Its always good to be able to share and show experiences. Also I would like to ask a few questions to you as I know after showing this video, my students will be asking me questions as well about your video. hope thats ok for you? :) thanks in advance and thanks for sharing this video on youtube
Hi Goelu. What is your email addr?
+Steve Gerber i prefer not to put my email here... hahaha... but find me on facebook and there we can communicate more securely
my facebook name is guolin chau and my profile picture is me diving
If anybody's interested, she survived this incident only suffering ruptured eardrums. But I'm sad to say she passed away a mere week later in a ski lift accident in Barbados. RIP Mariana
Source?
wtf
ski lift accident in barbados... think about that for a seco
+Nick Nguyen thx for pointing that out lmao
RIP.... those Barbados slopes have a history of being the most dangerous!
Come on son, where is BHD army?
someone needed a sandwich
Great job. Spotted the panic well before she took off the mask and where there to assist quickly. Did everything correctly in my book. To anyone calling her a 'dumb bitch', even experienced divers panic occasionally, until you've felt it and understand it I don't think you're qualified to comment on her actions.
Brain bug
I hope you aren't an instructor. If you are then you are fully responsible for this. Descend, dive & surface as a group. Check everyone is okay before making a final ascent. She clearly did not signal back to you. Ascending is a question and an answer. She did not answer and was not okay to go up. I hope you learn from this. Also, purge a reg whilst you shove it in someone's mouth or they will just breathe water. When you are on the surface establish your buoyancy and then hers, immediately. Not 5 or 10 seconds later.
I hope you're not an instructor. You may have a solid grasp of the rules but not the actual situation of teaching people or what panic is. She had already aborted in her mind and all she saw was obstacles to breathing. The equipment, the other people and 15 meters of water were all fighting her in her mind. She was not able to make a decision (which means she is not yet ready to be a diver - scary to discover that when the is already 45 feet down.)
Stop blaming everyone but the idiot who ripped the breathing tube out of her own mouth and acted like a damn fool not to mention put others lives in danger for no good reason
