Fatal diver's accident in Blue Hole, Dahab, episode #4, Yuri Lipski "death caught on tape"

- This is the episode from my documentary "the Sacred Truth" which explains (in a way) what happened with Yuri Lipski and what you can see and hear watching his video footage
I really admire tarek.
He has a sublime attitude to the dangers of diving, very philosophical and pragmatic, and he has the guts to collect the bodies of the ppl he advised no to dive, without being overbearing about the inevitability of their deaths.
God bless him.
This video implies some great mystery. He went down too far with the wrong gear, the wrong air mix, and the wrong training. They mystery is why people cannot grasp that diving this way at those depths is usually fatal. So when it happens people should not be making mysterious documentaries, but trying to educate young wannabe divers from making the same mistakes, with all due respect. He seemed to have intelligence, training, and good gear. But that won't save you from not having the wisdom to accept the warnings of experts, dive specific training, and the right set of gear and air for the specific dive. I don't want to say anything to dishonor this brave man. I am more annoyed at the people making believe his death is a mystery. We know almost exactly what happened, and very few experts are scratching their heads. Only the simpletons that pretend to be experts who make cheap documentaries.
Exactly this. I cringed at "something mysterious happened" phrase in the video. There was no mystery whatsoever. Only overconfidence, lack of preparation and some fatal mistakes.
I agree. And in the documentary they said Yuri did everything right and that he didn’t scream or ask for help ... You can clearly hear Yuri scream “HELP!” within the first several minutes when you can still see another diver near him which means Yuri knew right away that he was descending uncontrollably and fast and he knew he was in big trouble . You can also hear Yuri having trouble breathing early in the video. This reporter hasn’t seen the video we’ve all seen then.
I ve been diving 3 months now so I'm experienced, all due respect u don't know wat u r talkin about
@@MrSte2phen Gee, a WHOLE 3 months. WOW!
yeah, no mystery here. unqualified, diving alone, wrong gear, wrong mix, wrong hobby. I am horrified by these videos. god almighty
The natural beauty of this place is scarred by too many memorials...people have turned it into a graveyard.
Natural selection doing work
Not ppl...
Idiots.
@@NiSiochainGanSaoirse isn't it too mean? At least you should respect for them, they are already gone
@@PootyTangGaming
Ah yes the Darwinian fairy tale
Can we just respect for a moment Tariq Omar has been entrusted with the grizzly responsibility of fetching corpses from bottom of this thing that kills people? Mad respect to him needing to do and taking up such a job.
Yeah never considered it thats such a scary job
Yes, grizzly jobs are almost unbearable
@@Carbos shut the fuck up

@@blondemorticia1337 the opportunity was there and he took it... but he never bothered to ask himself... "should I?"
Basic scuba diving rule: do NOT dive without a dive-buddy! I don't care how experienced or talented a diver you might be... if you are diving alone, at great depth, and have equipment problems, you are almost certainly doomed. The same is true if you get narcosis - in which case you would not be thinking clearly, or make good decisions! If you had a buddy with you, he MAY experience narcosis too, but if not, your buddy could help. Sad...
In technical diving you do typically dive alone. Your dive profile is
yours alone since an extra minute at any depth can cause a discrepancy
of hours during your ascent. If there’s any kind of mechanical failure
there won’t be enough air/gas left for both of you and so instead of one
dead diver now you’ve got two. Technical diving is absurdly close to
the edge.
If you watch the raw footage there are other drivers as he starts his descent.
Richard G Thanks for the tip.
Dive-buddy ? It might be... I don't understand well
A friend of mine died because of that , he Fainted and died ,if there had been a buddy he could have been saved .I just hope that Yuri passed away in peace because of nitrogen narcosis and wasn’t so scared
if you watch the full Yuri video here on youtube, you'll see that he does start panic in the end. also, in the video where the experts discuss what had happened they say that the camera kept filming when Yuri was no longer breathing. A bit contradicting to this video I thought.
But otherwise thanks for excellent quality interesting videos.
I thought the same thing, all the other videos I’ve seen were different. He tries twice to reinflate his BC but at the point he’s 70+ meters down and he just didn’t have the air, and he does panic
he used the wrong gas, it wasn't designed for going so deep.
j okay but what exactly do you think is the consequence of that? Him not realising what is happening or not being able to breathe once he got on the bottom?
j I don’t think that’s enough to explain the circumstances though
Swede Potato Pie exactly what Im thonking
rook how the fuck would that be possible
Also his equipment was to heavy for that type of diving the guy that recovered his body even said this so once he went down he was never gonna resurface
Anybody here from MrBallen?
Me
Yes sir
Dam skippy
Yeah
yep
SailsOfSharon: I love that comment. Well, he nearly dragged "someone", as you may know Yuri had a buddy (Darbush)who lost him in the Blue Hole. (and because of this he survived) Your right, the dive was suicidal from the very beginning. His dive gear looked like an accomlished nightmare. Too much weight, 2 lights with the canister batteries, video camera, lots of cables wrapped around the body, weights in the integrated pockets trapped by those cables..
Elena thank you so much for these uploads, fascinating. I watched the full length that you posted to vimeo too. I thought you sensitively caught the beauty of diving as well as the tragedy of when things go wrong. As someone with family that dive I was very touched.
CarMoves#39: I'l tell you more: Yuri did a few dives on Nitrox 32 down to 60 m deep "to learn O2 poisoning effect".And he described al he felt in the article. Don't ask me "why he did it". I don't why some people do rather silly things. I think he was young, naive, passionate about deep diving/filming, very stubborn, he survived a few deep dives so he assumed he was "safe".
Nx32 at 60m? MOD = 33 m that is simply suicidal.
I dove with Matin and Connor. Connor was on my DM course and Martin an instructor. They were best friends and great guys. I will never forget how their deaths hit me and the entire dive community in Dahab.
How did they die?
Ronhend: "his hand thing"" is his diving computer. It always beeps warning a diver they are too deep (into a decompression dive)or that they ascend too quickly. In Yuri's case "beeping" meant: "GO UP IMMEDIATELY. NOW. OTHERWISE, YOU'RE DEAD".
He was at 91.6 meters or almost 300 feet.
If still aware enough he must’ve been shocked /not believed what he was reading
@@keiththompson2172 he wouldn't know
You can clearly hear him breathing as you say, 'he understands he needs to hold his breath at this level....'
You say, 'he is rolling down the slope, sinking out of control,' and then you say, 'he is in complete control up until the time the camera shuts off.'
Does someone really call out for help when they are 90 meters underwater? Serious question.
he may (read, almsot certainly) have been halucinating at that point, especially if he was on a pure air tank.
also, the NUMBER 1 RULE OF DIVING IS TO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH
U are so right this guy does this in all his videos i unsubscribed him cause of that
WHY ARE ALL YOUR VIDEOS U CONTRADICTING YOURSELF STOP DOING THAT!
kwebber9: #2 Also Yuri's gear configuration (if we dare to call it so) was a mess from the very beginning due to his lack of knowledge and understanding of deep diving. He was just a recreational PADI instructor who thought he could go "deep" and come back safe on one tank of air,
Yuri made many fatal mistakes that guaranteed his death. First of all, he wasn't trained for this type of diving as he had to fly home the next day, second, he had single normal breathing air (open air) tank and not the special gas mix which meant he was breathing 79% of nitrogen which under pressure becomes intoxicating, like drinking 3 martinis every 30 meters, third, he wasn't weighted properly for the salt water which caused him to drop like a stone, fourth, he didn't have a diving buddy, fifth and last, he had only one air tank and reached 91.6 meters depth and even if he managed to inflate to resurface, he had to make decompression stops which at the depth he was and the time he spend he probably needed a hour(s) to ascend for which he had no spare air tank.
There is nothing mysterious about these deaths. These are poorly trained and poorly prepared divers diving well beyond their abilities and technical knowledge.
Some of these deaths were very experienced divers.
Okay, can you explain then what exactly happened here?
According to article. Compressed oxygen can only be use to 40M. Yuri fall into 90m with the trimix oxygen. That he suffers Nitrogen Narcosis.. drunk like feeling and oxygen intoxication..
#2 Yuri's video is watched by many, it's available in one of the dive shops in Dahab, the saddest thing is that: it needs to be commented. By someone who truly understands that Yuri was not killed by "a shark" but rather by his own ignorance and imcompetence.
I don't know much about blue hole diving, aside from it being extremely dangerous. Though I've heard this particular blue hole has claimed so many lives, I wonder why he was diving alone?
because no one would go with him, he wasn't qualified, and none of the experienced guys wanted to be responsible for his death. he should not have gone alone. cardinal rule.
Wikipedia references this documentary but still states Lipski died on tape, as if it is undisputed. I am glad to have actually found your videos, which provide a different perspective. Thank you for your care and research into this tragedy.
You can clearly hear an intake of breath in the final second or two of footage after the tape skips a minute. I wonder if the missing minute was redacted and perhaps additional footage showing his real final moments.
Ego, poor training, wrong gas, beyond limits. Rest in peace.
First cardinal rule of SCUBA diving:
1. Never dive alone.
I think thats almost inevitably a rule of life if you have control over it. Scuba diving specifically, you can dive with a friend so you have control. But life in general, Never die alone. Life is too short to die alone!
you are right
+Dan Kelly First rule of plain old swimming, too! May Yuri's death remind us all.
+Dan Kelly if you actually watch the footage, he was with several divers before he began his descent.
GeordieBiker422 There is a lot of BS in that video. It's probably a re-enactment. For one thing the narrator says at least one thing that any trained diver knows is wrong.
CarMoves#5: Yuri's dive gear configuration for a dive was ridiculously naive. He had a camera with housing + 2 canister lights attached to it, the ;lights had yellow cords (you can see them in the video) which were literally "wrapped" around his body and that trapped his weight pockets. Well, he found it out at the bottom, and tried to disentangle himself, but that was too late.
Ronhend #3 Also it's important to understand that Yuri was not tangled at the bottom, he was tangled at the surface when he attached the camera and its lights and canisters to his body in a way which made it difficult for him to drop the weights during his descent.
No Richard. Don't be so affirmative.
At great depth (120 msw +), your buddy won't be of much help without risking his own life. You're your closest help.
Counting on your buddy who's counting on you creates a fallacious situation that may kill both of you or cause severe DS. I personally believe deep tec dives are made by individuals that share some time underwater together.
It doesn't mean you don't give a shit, it means you humbly understand your limits and do not overvalue your position.
theunraveler: I am not sure I have this article, I need to check it out. That was Yuri's father who brought me the magazine in 2003, he said that Yuri published some "scary article" and he wanted me to read it. The article was called "In Deep".Yuri describes his feelings associated with his deep diving experience( Russian "Voyage" magazine, 1999)
Ronhend : NO you DON'T KNOW that. You can't breath "O2" underwater being deeper than 6 meters. There is no chance Yuti planned "pure O2 dive" , no one dives with O2, that's a decompression gas.
CarMoves #8: Yuri had a "habit" to literally sit down at the bottom (he describes it in his article) during his deep dives. When he realized he can't "lift himself up" he sat at the bottom (you can also see it in the video) trying to solve the problem. And that could have led that after inflating the BC he pulled his bottom dump valve whle sitting on it and added to the problem dumping more air from his BCD.
What's the name of his article ? I've been tried for many times but i don't find it ?
CarMoves: Exactly. More over he was diving in a recreation scuba gear (Sea Hawk BCD, one tank with air) That's why I don't say that was "equipment malfunction" since this sort of equipment is not designed for deep dives.
TY for sharing this.
Listen to the gap between when he inhales at 5:30 to the last weak, shallow breath you here 12 seconds later. Clearly had lost consciousness at that point.
I wonder if this footage has cuts in the video around that mark.
Ronhend: #1 Well you see, the mystery is that there is no real "mystery" in regards of Yuri's camera turning off. If you speak to any of the professional underwater deep videographers they will tell you that it happens very often at depth. Normally u/w camera housings are rated to a certain depth. E.g Yuri's camera was rated only down to 70 m deep.
Die Geschichte hat mich sehr mitgenommen, nicht die Bergung, sondern die Emotionen. Bevor ich Yuri barg, habe ich seine Mutter gesehen. Und seine Mutter war geschieden von seinem Vater. Sein Vater lebt in Israel und nur Yuri wohnte bei seiner Mutter. Er war ihr Ein und Alles. Als sie kam, als ich ihn barg, ich weiß nicht warum, sprach sie zu mir wie zu einem Sohn. Und ich sah plötzlich Yuris ganze Geschichte, von der Zeit, als er ein Baby war, bis jetzt. Wir sprechen über eine tote Person, und die Mutter erzählt dir die Lebensgeschichte. Sie war Russin und sie hatte extra einen Übersetzer, der mir das übersetzte. Über eine Woche war sie hier, und wenn sie aufwachte, rief sie mich an und weinte. Dann wurde der Leichnam nach Russland für die Beerdigung gebracht. Dann kam sie wieder für eine Woche zurück und bat mich, die Erinnerungstafel am Blue Hole anzubringen, und sie hatte seine Asche dabei, und wir haben die Asche dem Meer übergeben. Das war unglaublich emotional.
Heinz Krimmer: Sie hatte die Asche am Blue Hole ins Meer gegeben?
Tarek Omar: Ja, das hat mich sehr berührt. Danach habe ich entschieden, nicht mehr so einen engen Kontakt zu den Familien aufzunehmen. Manchmal wollen sie dich wie ein Mitglied der Familie behandeln. Dann weißt du oft nicht mehr, was du sagen sollst, und wirst selbst traurig und heulst.
Heinz Krimmer: Und was hat Yuri gemacht?
Tarek Omar: Yuri wollte im Blue Hole filmen. Ich fand ihn auf 115 m ohne Luft in der Flasche.
Heinz Krimmer: Er wollte filmen? Mit normaler Luft?
Tarek Omar: Ja, es ist eine verrückte Geschichte. Er hatte eine Videokamera und Gehäuse und er wollte filmen. Er begann bei 25 m Probleme zu bekommen und er sank wie ein Stein. Er ließ die Kamera los, und sie hing hier, und er filmte die letzten 8 Minuten seines Lebens. Er schrie, er starb, er litt. Das war sehr hart zu sehen.
Am nächsten Morgen, als wir mit Achmed alles geborgen hatten, gaben wir der Familie die Ausrüstung. Die Mutter war im Hotel und wollte die Dinge waschen, aber sie konnte nicht. Die Angestellten riefen mich an, ob ich nicht helfen könnte, und so ging ich hin. Ich besorgte Desinfektionsmittel. Als ich die Kamera in der Hand hatte, dachte ich, sie wäre kaputt, denn das Gehäuse war nur auf 70 m ausgelegt, und ich dachte, bei 115 m ist sie bestimmt geflutet. Ich habe sie gewaschen und geöffnet, und ich war geschockt. Die Kamera war total trocken. Ich holte das elektrische Kabel, und ich entdeckte, dass Yuri vor seiner Kamera gestorben ist. Ich habe das erste Mal in meinem Leben gesehen, wie jemand stirbt.
Heinz Krimmer: Das heißt, Yuri ist zwar ein Risiko eingegangen, aber im Grunde war es war ein Unfall?
Tarek Omar: Er ging ein großes Risiko ein. Wenn du nur einen Tank nimmst und willst auf 50 m oder mehr, und das um 17:00 Uhr abends, wenn das Licht schon fast weg ist …
Heinz Krimmer: War er allein?
Tarek Omar: Ich denke, er hatte einen Buddy, aber ich erinnere mich nicht mehr genau.
Achmed: Du kannst den Buddy auf dem Film sehen.
Tarek Omar: Der Film ist auf RUclips zu sehen.
Heinz Krimmer: Was denkst du, welches Problem er bekommen hatte?
Tarek Omar: Er war zu schwer. Mit seinem Buddy zusammen hatte er 60 kg. Sein Blei, das vom Buddy, Video mit Gehäuse, eine Menge Lampen, alle schwer. Da kommst du schnell an einen gefährlichen Punkt.
Achmed: Du füllst dein BCD (Jacket) voll mit Luft, und trotzdem sinkst du. Es war nicht die richtige Ausrüstung für so einen Tauchgang.
Tarek Omar: Das ist genau das, was du in dem Film siehst.
Heinz Krimmer: Er hatte wohl auch ein viel zu kleines Jacket, vielleicht nur mit 12 Litern und nicht 25 Litern, und er hat nicht rechtzeitig sein Blei abgeworfen.
Achmed: Ja, wenn er vielleicht rechtzeitig sein Blei weggeworfen hätte oder seine Kamera …
Tarek Omar: Normalerweise befestigen wir alles so an uns, dass wir es schnell loswerden. Aber es muss schnell gehen. Wenn du deine Kamera nicht loswerden willst, dann stirbst du.
Heinz Krimmer: So war letztendlich die Ursache, dass die Ausrüstung für diesen Tauchgang nicht ausgelegt war.
Tarek Omar: Wenn man tief taucht, gibt es ein paar Dinge, über die man nachdenken muss. Und Leute, die davon keine Ahnung haben, die springen einfach mit der normalen Ausrüstung ins Wasser und denken, das wird schon okay sein. Ist es aber nicht.
Heinz Krimmer: Tarek und Achmed, ich danke euch herzlichst für das Gespräch.
Ronhend #3 Just for example,my friend, an advanced TMX u/w videographer went down to 120 m deep to film the cave; her camera's housing was rated down to 130m, however she experienced great difficulties operating it even at 100 m, she said the recording button got constantly stuck , changing modes and finally stoped recording, so she had to come back to the surface with no video footage.
The narrator says that he understands that he must hold his breath.
You should not hold your breath when you are SCUBA diving.
Narrator also says he dumped his weights but I don't think that can be determined
from this video.
The "never hold your breath" rule is irrelevant here, since he's not ascending.
That being said, I'm not convinced that you can significantly reduce oxygen pressure in your blood stream by holding your breath. (I assume they are talking about oxygen toxicity in this part)
I also don't see evidence that oxygen toxicity actually was the problem here. For a very short period, an ppO2 of ~2.2 is probably ok I imagine. I think it's a lot more likely that he wasn't able to figure out how to ascend due to nitrogen narcosis at this depth.
Obviously you never hold your breath on ascent but you also should never hold your breath period. It is a safe practice to breathe normally when scuba diving. You may disagree with me but you are also disagreeing with my instructor who happened to be a retired navy diver.
Dan Kelly
No I agree with you and your instructor. It's the right general practice in all normal circumstances. And you want to engrain it in your brain, so that you don't forget to breath if a stressful situation happens under water. Totally on your page there.
In this particular case though, if we assume for a moment that the narrator is correct and holding your breath might help to reduce oxygen toxicity, I think violating this general principle is more than worth it. It would literally have been a decision between breaking with a *general* best practice, and dying. Following the best practice is no good if you die. The specific circumstances overrule the general practices. That's why it's important to understand *why* certain best practices exist, and not just that they exist.
Hope I'm making sense. I'm certainly not suggesting that holding your breath during normal diving if you're not ascending is a good idea. Such practice can become dangerous quickly.
Daniel Mewes Get real, of course you can set up a scenario in which you must hold your breath, just as I can set up a scenario in which it is ok to murder someone. SMH
Daniel Mewes Why the hell does he need to hold his breath? Are you serious? Oxygen toxicity? How could that be an issue here?
The arch is 60 meters deep and you cannot survive on one cylinder. Simples
lucky idiots and russian cowboys have survived 75m on single cylinder.
I know 3 people who are perfectly fine and they did the arch on one tank
At 180 ft. Deep the no decompression limit is less than the descent time. This leaves a safe bottom time of. Zero minutes. Only using twin tanks and decompression can make this dive possible.
CarMoves: Yes, it is. And my reenactment is NOT "more dramatic" than the actual footage, in fact it's much "less dramatic". This reenctment is based upon a meticulous study of Yuri's original tape in high res.This tape is still with me and you can watch it. I am the only one person who always provides the most accurate comments in regards of his video,
CarMoves#10:His dump valve tangled in the corals, Yuri slided down the bottom pulled the vlave and dumped the air. But that was not a very important discovery. The most important thing was the "inflator/regulator" of "Sea Hawk". That was really very interesting and I don't think anybody has ever guessed to have a look at the specific dive gear Yuri used.
Ronhend: Yes, that was his own fault and apart from it the fault of the dive training system (agency) that trained Yuri. He did have a buddy, but they separated under water. He got tangled on the surface. He tied up the camera to his body in the way that prevented him to drop extra weights.
bouyancy compensator device, the vest. It can be filed or drained of air. It acts like a life jacket on the surface, you release the air, you sink with your weightbelt. His was compromised, you can hear all the air leaving when he trys to fill it up. He needs that to make an emergency ascent and that is why he is throwing all his gear down, he think's hes too heavy. In reality he was doomed since he left his dive buddy.
CarMoves#3: Yuri did a few deep dives in his BCD one tank/air before his accident in Blue Hole and he wrote an article about his 90 m dive in Russian magazine Voyage in 1999. He was fascinated with deep diving, but he had very little knowledge about it nor he had formal technical dive training. Dropping the weights was something very "normal" for him. That was what every rec. diver would do if they went too deep and discovered their BC failed to "lift them up".
CarMoves: ps. the lifting capacity of the so "called wing" o the Sea Hawk was claimed to be 32 lbs. In fact it was just about 28lbs, whilst a tech dive wing should be not less than 40-60lbs.
CarMoves: I am glad we already agreed on one isue: using an umbrella for a sky dive is silly. Yuri didn't go for a recreational dive, he went there to film the Arch" (55-60 m deep) You should really talk with Yuri's father and get more information about his dive from a reliable source.
MOST IMPORTANT THING IN DEEP AIR DIVING IS TO ASK YOURSELF: HOW DEEP IS DEEP ENOUGH?
RIP James, Died Aged 19, Blue Hole Dahab Egypt, Year 2000
Does anyone recall a scuba death a couple years back in Boca Raton, three of them were diving, one developed a problem with the gear, another went for help, whilst two stayed down, one trying to share her air - or something (I'm not a diver ) - but they both drowned, despite the other having gone for help. The coast guard wasn't called until AFTER another crew member spent 15 mins looking for them. It sounds odd to me, to have left calling the LG for so long, but again, I'm no diver.
How they mean Yuri doesn't die on the recorded tape?
When you watch recorded tape on last seconds he laying on bottom? If he is not dead, what is he doing?And what happened on tape in video?
@deanleerip The blue hole is not extremely deep, the problem being is people dive it on single tanks and run high risk of narcosis and oxygen poisoning at depth. Yuri did this, he was a good diver, not professional but experienced. Tarag(the Egyptian guy) is a technical diver who is far more experienced and uses trimix gas to reduce these symptoms. Yuri evidently had ripped his BCD, which enables him to float up and down and fell uncontrollably down the slope to 111m, he was in a fog of narcosis
kwebber9: I never said that "O2 toxicity" doesn't result in convulsions!!! I was talking about N2/O2 narcosis and whether it could result in "passing out" or not!!!
Testosterone plays a big part in the fatalities...
People who attribute testosterone to male bravado know nothing about human biology and psychology. If anything, low levels of testosterone in men can cause manic behavior.
@@Ay0ubM no.... just no
I would agree, but maybe a better word is “Ego”
@@OMGITSGB yea actually... just yea. Read a book
I have very high natural testosterone levels (~1000ng/dl). I have never found the need to prove how manly I am to others. Some individuals project out of insecurity.
Do u have the article that Yuri wrote and if possible translate it into English? I am very interested.
Thanks :D
Ronhend: Hi there, the person sees the same sort of picture but experiences kind of a "memory loss", what ever they have seen they are prone to forget and they can't recall it even on the surface. The deeper they go on air, they less the see. At the critical depth, they have a "tunnel vision" and later they black out.
CarMoves#9: He is obviously confused but narced heavily to realize where the problem is coming from. But you can aso see and hear the air being dumped. That confused me a lot, I though why the hell he was doing that, I found and bought that Sea Hawk BCD in Texas USA (they stopped producing it already by 2004) and we did a few dives to understand what might have happened. So that was one of the possibilities.
Or give me a link of his article !!
@elena where can I find the full video?
@iToxic1337 Basically you get "drunk" from Nitrogen and you loose the sense of balance, so you dont know which way is up or down. My narcosis sets in about 45 - 50 meters deep but it sets in slowly so I know what is going on and I can stop before I get into serious trouble. I start hearing the echo from my breathing like in a cave when you say something and it echoes plus everything starts to spin slowly like if I was on a carousel so I know don't go any deeper plus I always have someone with me
blue hole is a documentary worth watching for enthusiastic tourists who think foreign waters are safe and interesting... speaking of experience i passed the lines 8n cape cod and boston and that year sharks came back to shore 2010. still in one peace. a miracle.
Ronhend #2 Asyou can seefrom the video Yuri went much deeper than the camera housing was rated to, so there is no wonder why it stopped operating normally, the real mystery is the housing was not flooded, it normally happens when you exceed the recommended depth and Yuri's camera stayed for almost 4 days at 111 meters deep.
Ronhend#2: If you look at my 3D computer graphic of the Arch, you can see that the bottom of the Blue Hole is a slope, so the deepest part of the "Arch's bottom" should be around 118-120 meters deep.
Basic Rule: NEVER dive alone! Even if you have 1000 dives. NEVER DIVE WITHOUT A BUDDY!
This documentary is unreal. At no time was youri in control.he was screwed from the minute he submerged.
He was fst too heavily weighted, he reaches negative buoyancy and his buoyancy control device failed miserably.
Any Diver will attest to the fact he was NEVER in control.
terak is the ultimate diver i have the utmost respect for this guy and i would dive with him anyday
GOneScUBa: Thank you very much for the comment my friend! I really appreciate it.. xoxo Elena
oipbhakel:#9 His body was found appr. at 111-112 m deep on the bottom of the BH. I dove that place, I wanted to see it and it only confirmed that we were right in our conclusions. Yuri unable to maintain his buoyancy was slipping down from the shollowest part of the bottom towards the Arch.
Ok, ummm do you and the instructors have any idea of what possibly could have happened to him? Like based on the footage and everything.
"He didn't call for help"
No shit. He was under water. Not only is it impossible to yell without breathing in water but nobody would hear anyways.
I am from Dahab in Egypt and no one reached the hall. The only person who reached 1000 meters was a slope
CarMoves #4: In the fim I am talking about what I see, watching the tape, and I clearly see that he is NOT in panic, his equipment does not malfuction and he does NOT die in the end of the tape. So... the original tape is NOT "the death caught on tape" but a sheer speculation of people who unfortunately doesn't have an acces to al the information regarding Yuri's dive.
The normal sport diving limit on dept is 130 feet (around 40 meters). It sounds like Yuri was at 30 meters (98 feet)? He could have ditched all his weight and tried an emergency bouyant ascent from that depth. Without weight, he should have become more positively bouyant. Follow your bubbles upward. It's a risky move, but then so is continuing to deny your equipment problems, and remaining at nearly 30+ meters for a lengthy time.
Richard G no, what u see is meters. 93 meters (roughly 300 feet I believe). He was russian and russians use metric system. So no, he couldn't do that saddly ...
As Bill Burr said about the ocean “has there ever been a place we’re more clearly not supposed to be!?”
kwebber9 #00 Nitrogen Narcosis, commonly referred to as "rapture of the deep, " typically becomes noticeable at 100 ft underwater and is incapacitating at 300 ft, causing stupor, blindness, unconsciousness, and even death. Nitrogen narcosis is also called "the martini effect" because divers experience an effect comparable to that from one martini on an empty stomach for every 50 ft of depth beyond the initial 100 ft.

my 2cents. ive spent the last 4 hours trying to figure out what happened to this guy. that is the extent of my knowledge about scuba diving. i had no knowledge of many facts about scuba diving before today. im a smart person, and in my opinion, it seems that yuri was a dare devil, that went there for one reason, he wanted to get on film, him diving to the bottom of the blue hole and back up on one tank of regular air, and he couldnt get positivley buoyant and that was the ball game.
Hey, im currently getting my certification for regular diving (beginner). But since I know your an experienced diver is there any distinct diferences you can tell between nitrox and just regular tanks.
This comment was left 12 years ago. I hope you have enjoyed diving. If you continued, by now you must be an expert 😁
CarMoves: Exactly. if you study the information about tha so called "semi-tech BC" you will find out that many divers were complaining about its performance "at depth". Their major concern was its lifting capacity.
His breathing is not regular, and or his regulator is damaged, he didn’t dump his weights, and buoyancy compensator was blown up/ripped leading any one looking at it with a clear cut number of steps that lead to his death. No mystery here.
nuno32181: Nuno, do you remember what was depth Pascal's VR3 showed? I mean when it still "worked" after his legendary 330 m dive?
CarMoves: That's what they were saying when we contacted them, the guy in Moscow who used to know Yuri when he was asked to give us an interview about Yuri exclaimed: "is he still alive?!"
i am diver since 2011 and never saw this case. Even at places where i know i don't dive alone. I think he was trapped by his equipment in that deep, when he was trying to walk he realized that.
Ummm I watched his full video. He was not calm and in control. He was panicked.
kwebber9: #2 Divers in that state, especially those who are not very experienced in deep tech diving are prone to make fatal mistakes: they either shoot to the surface like Barbara Delliger who went down to 48-50m in Blue Hole, suddenly panicked, went to the surface and blew her lung (later she died of severe DCS) or go deeper and drown.
CarMoves#38: Well, in the beginning I also thought Yuri planned a recreational dive. I was very surprised to find out he didn't and I was shocked when I read his article about deep diving. I'm sorry it has never been translated into English or made public. It would make a lot of sense to people like you who are interested in Yuri's accident.
I think this is the same recovery guy from the Monty Hall documentary, only 10 years older.
Yah he is
@@sai-fk8bg thank you.
oipbhakeld #3: That contradicts the whole theoryof "Yuri wanted to film himself" since he did no attempt to catch any image of himself before he reaches 81 m.
I understand nitrogein narcosis but is there any way you can explain to me what the person is seeing while under nitrogen narcosis.
kwebber9 # 10 Next fact: the group that recovered Yuri's body claimed he still had some air in him BCD iand in his tank and that he had regulator in his mouth.Thebody position demonstrate that he rather fell aseep and got drowned, rather then convulsed (that could be a possibility too) but in that case we would have the body on his back with his head up, oien yeys, open mouth, reg. at the distance.
SailsOfSharon: I know. I mean I know the full story and I have the original video, and you're right. The guy died because he had no clue of what he was doing. The dive site cannot be regulated. It's open for recreational and technical divers it's up to them to decide how far they can go, that's ultimately a human consciousness that regulates what they can do and what they cannot. How can you evaluate someone's psyche??
yeah, people are gonna do what they want. i have seen videos where people have cut through gates and locks to enter these dangerous sites. not sure how you regulate that.
Ghostfly3d: Well, Yuri dove the Blue hole on one tank with AIR,so it it DOES matterfor others to learn they shouldn't repeat this mistake.
kwebber9 :11 BTW ,you never answered my question: how many dives below 100 m you have done and which gas mixes did you use for the dives below 90-100 m? If you didn't dive that deep, what's your deepest dive? (tmx, air, heliox)
So after Yuri Lipski and all the Russian divers, is there anything done to regulate the Blue Hole? Is diving more restricted now?
What's this talk about "calling for help" in this video? That's absurd.
Thats what i was thinking.......Talking under water.......Hold on ..whats that i hear........Ridiculous.
In the uncut version of his video, @ minute 5 he attempted to call for help
@@creedlang419 wherr i can find the full video of Yuri Lipski in Blue Hole????
@@rusdijidan8043 go to horror stories on yt
superflyUK: Also Yurihe doesn't "stop breathing". If you have any questions about any details regarding Yuri's video, please let me know, I'll be more than happy to explain what really was going on down there.
Why in the original video by Anto watever show his camera like laying there on the ground at the end... and yet he wasnt showed being dead on the tape...
oipbhakeld:#8 So slippiring down the slope" of the BH's bottom Yuri was approaching the Arch i.e.dramatically encreasing the depth that ultimatelly killed him. He defintely experiencing problems trying to ascend from 80 m, so being at 90+ would only add more problems.
My misses would love this mystery thing..but in this context it is harmful..this should be an educated lesson in dive safety..not a spiritual mystery. The footage in this documentary of yuri is a reenactment and misleading.
Could of been avoided...not only was he told by multiple people that he needed 2 weeks training with nitro and helium but he also ignored them and went alone anyways. I'm sorry this happened but I'm sorry u play stupid u win stupid prizes. This never should of happened with him using common sense.
firstly how can you scream or call for help underwater??(min 3:48). how can he be sinking out of control when we can clearly see that he is hitting the sandy bottom(min5:55)
Exactly.
panamapool: Yuri was not a certified tech diver, he went to dive the Blue Hole (a deep dive site that is good for tech divers only) on a supply of one tank with air, having too much weights with him, he lost his dive buddy during the first 5 minutes, became negatively buoyant and couldn't make a safe ascent from 90+ metres deep, this is a typical mistake done by a recreational diver that killed over 100 people in the Blue Hole.
The problem was, he had absolutely no business being down there with absolutely zero training
Ok, now im understanding but I need to know one more thing what could have caused his camera to mysteriously turn off?
so he wasn't able to ascend despite dumping his equipment and weights? What happened exactly?
I didn't say it was a tech harness, I said it "wasn't a rec bc" -- closer to tech.
The SeaHawk cells came in 3 sizes up to 72lbs.
But it's irrelevant. anyway. He didn't have it setup for tech - no doubles, no travel mix, no deco.
So whether his bc was rec or tech didn't matter -- he was setup for rec, and doing a dive that was tech.
