Footage of Diver that recorded his own death diving into the “Blue Hole”! - page 3

I wonder if he was aware of what was happening the whole time or if he lost consciousness the lower he went?

Rip..22 and an instructor? Just a kid how many dives under the belt remind me of that leclerc dude these extreme hobbies are something else like watching the documentaries that one is way more dangerous

I’ll be back. Been on BX since I was 14-15.

Damn G….what happened?

This was posted on Reddit some years back. A professional diver broke down all the things he did wrong but the main problem was he had a single tank

Not to sound like an a$$hole, but can someone explain how a diver has an involuntary and uncontrolled descent?

Was wondering the same thing

I would defer to the bx resident divers, but believe you have to have a crazy amount of hours diving (100 dives total) and take a decent amount of exams to be an instructor. Think the criteria for those 100 dives is very strict as well. Buddy was probably diving all is life, amazing he found his talent/passion so young. tragic way to go tho

you got this answered before but to elaborate further.
Yes he most likely was aware, but by the time he could do anything about it he basically went blackout as if drunk and tripping at the same time until pass out. He was running standard oxygen which was a huge issue. Nitrox couldve helped a bit since its a mix of oxygen and nitrogen (enriched air). Which allows you to dive deeper and longer. Also wouldve kept him a bit more coherent to adjust, and ascend if there was a glaring issue. The big problem was lack of adjustment and standard o2.

Also to add I know everyone sees uncontrolled descent and thinks this might have been a mistake. negative he purposely did an uncontrolled descent in order to get to the bottom faster to compensate for the amount of air he was running to complete the dive knowing he would be doing a controlled ascent.

Single tank, standard air are the biggest miscues. To me though standard air is the bigger issue.

Sometimes you gotta' listen to your OG's.




They usually know what you are and aren't ready for.

Just imagine if u didn't die yet, at the bottom of the sea, pitch black, and you're being fu#king eaten limb by limb

To keep it simple buoyancy.
You ever notice how when you swim underwater you have to keep an effort (swimming) to maintain level and not rise to the surface.. In Diving, you aren’t actively swimming per say, you have buoyancy gear that helps balance you out and counterweight you vs your tank + natural oxygen that is in your body which would cause you to float. Buoyancy maintenance keeps you from rising to the surface. You need counterweight to keep you balanced, buoyancy to bring you up and down. Now once you got this down you learn how to adjust to make descents to deeper depths, however you are doing your descents in stages. And uncontrolled descent basically is rather than go in stages, you kill your buoyancy maintenance and sink. There’s ways to kill a uncontrolled descent, easier in shallower depths (simple hit the bottom and adjust) and a lot harder/dangerous (deeper depths- ditch counterweight gear, activate buoyancy compensator which would inflate your inner suit). Hope that kinda makes sense
