Divers React to Horrifying Underwater Accidents caught on camera

[@cynthiabrewer952]

​@@alf3071 ive alw⁴ays heard that drowning is one of the best ways to die (if there is such a thing, that is) as well as hypothermia. For me , it would have to be getting eaten alive by a wild animal (grizzly, lion, shark, etc.).. Ideally, if given the choice, id rather live forever........maybe. Our Creator, through His wisdom, along with our personal journeys throughout our time here makes each of us a completely unique individual with a completely unique point of view. How nice it is to find forums where you feel free enough to voice your opinion without criticism and to consider the viewpoints of others you've never even met. As different and unique as we all are though, when it all comes down to it, as human beings, there are always threads that tie us together. Take care😊

Doesn't sound like he had enough training to even go into the wreck. I'm an instructor and have seen too many times where a parent takes their kids diving way beyond the level of training they've had.

There was a man who took his son to dive eagles nest, if I remember right it was one of the first times the kid ever used scuba equipment. Sadly they both drowned.

[@Rebeccacell]

I came here to say this! Shouldn’t he have more than basic open water training to go inside a wreck?

[@dismalcreekmusic5314]

@@Rebeccacell yep

[@stubbe3232]

For sure. Without at least wreck speciality you should not penetrate any wreck. Furthermore, unless you’re a technical diver (ie recreational) you should ideally always have “open water” ie direct access to the surface. Some dive masters will tell you to count each meter sideways with cover as an additional meter of depth… but in a silt without training you’ll wait longer for the silt to settle than you have breathing gas in your tank… if you are not trained and experienced with the site - dive safely and stay out

[@AbyssalPlain]

I'd blame the Father 100% - his son was so obviously unprepared for such a dive. Also if you need to ascend then YOU ASCEND! You don't look around for someone to accompany you. To do this you MUST have a surface marker buoy with enough line to deploy the buoy to the surface. Father should have been there close to his son. (UK BSAC Advanced Instructor No. 1719)

There are many other channels that made their own video about it but nothing like the one from Scary interesting.

[@Henoik]

This is why we always brief our emergency procedures with our buddies before our dive. If we get away from each other, and cannot find one another for 1 minute, we surface. If I cannot find my buddy on the surface within a couple minutes of that, we call for help and start a search party. Yes, we have very strict procedures for this, and I have myself surfaced once seeing a cavalry of fire dept rescue divers because I was five minutes late to the surface.

[@bodybong]

I think another theory as to why Steven drowned is because he lost grip of the ring and it fell... and tried to swim down to catch it before losing it forever. In hindsight, it's an awful reason to risk it all, but in the moment he might've only been thinking about how expensive and special the ring was.

Right?? A cold water, 100 ft (below limits for open water basic) shipwreck dive. No wonder things went badly.

[@pippa3150]

That kid had clearly no training at all. When I got certified, my first open water dive was practicing removing your mask, and separately, removing your regulator and buddy breathing. When I let go of my regulator and put my buddy's octo in my mouth, I breathed out to push out the water. But somehow my mouth was still full of water. So I breathed out harder. And with no air left in my lungs I realized the mouth piece had come detached. I had one second of panic before I knew I needed to feel around behind me for my own regulator again. This was my FIRST dive, and I knew what to do. The fact this kid was doing such a dangerous dive with clearly zero experience is horrifying. I 100% blame the father, who also let him swim off alone. Jesus.

I also would not allow my daughter to dive in ant situation that she was not trained for and we had not briefed for.

[@parcusenterprise5052]

The first story reminds me of great lake wrecks here in Canada. The water is usually around 36 degrees at the bottom and many wrecks are sideways, so that ladder could have been leading anywhere. And for his decsision to stay at the bottom, I have dove on some wrecks that not following the exit line, will have you pop out in the commercial ship lane, that can be an death sentence if a 700 ft boat is coming your way. Happy to see the kids got it right. Keep up the great work guys

[@angelachouinard4581]

You made me think of an old magazine photo my grandpa kept. A small skiff like sail boat was cutting across the bow of an enormous ore freighter very close on. He had taped a caption on it "Why would you?"

[@lindaa9005]

to add to what you said- since I have dove in the are that you mention many times- people may not understand that while you can hear a ship underwater- even a large commercial ship- you don't know where it is. I've done a dive in the very close to a commercial lane to see a specific wreck years ago ( closest waymark is Heart Island- Bolt Castle) but that is considered advanced, because it required a drop off and timed pick up from a boat- and we could not just surface at will due to the ships.

The 15 liter tank Callum used is probably a steel tank and his "usual tank" based on them normally going to the red sea would be a 12l aluminium or 80 cuft tank. The bouyancy difference between the two IS noticable as the steel 15l tank would be 1-3 kg negative when empty, unlike aluminium 80 cuft or 12 liter tanks.

[@valeriamuur8671]

Thank you! I'm from Estonia. I discovered your channel completely by accident yesterday. I liked how you reacted to real life situations in the videos and explained all the situations and dangers involved in diving. I know absolutely nothing about diving. Never dived and my family and friends don't do it. I just discovered yesterday that what you are doing is extremely fascinating! And the fact that you explain everything so precisely also helps me understand why and how you do things underwater and above water. The video where Gus surprised Woody, had surprise guest Jacob Childs on air, and you talked about how his "last hours were going" was absolutely powerful. Anyway, I'm totally fascinated with your content and I look forward to it all the time! Cheers to you and thanks for passing on good entertaining as well as informative content! Thank you thank you!

[@305miamifishing9]

I have never dive but love hearing the stories.

[@zarlorz]

A few things of note on the first story. The narrator didn't say that because he was "sensitive to nitrogen" that he consumed more air. Rather it sounded to me like there was a pause between the statements, not a correlation. In other words I'm guessing the sensitivity to nitrogen was more along the lines of he's more susceptible or feel the effects heavily of Nitrogen Narcosis at depth, perhaps. And additionally he just has a naturally higher SAC rate (we are all different on that, after all). Regarding the weight you actually agreed with the narrator in that he said he normally carried 4kg, but was not carrying 6. Going to a larger tank, if your own statements are correct that, full, it would add 4kg more then you get to the narrators total off 11kg (thus 7kg more than he would normally carry for good neutral buoyancy, apparently). The narrator also noted that he'd only gotten certified the year before, but had gotten in some practice dives at local lakes. That doesn't tell us how much experience he had really gotten in that year, however. Add in the potential of narcossis (which as I noted might be what the narrator meant by his being sensitive to nitrogen) and his being in a panic and the simple idea of just following your bubbles up might not be the clear answer to him at the time. Like is noted in the excellent book "Under Pressure" by Gareth Lock whom you've had on the show, finding his buddy (and his father, no less, possibly making it seem even more pressing that's who you go to for protection) seemed to be the smart thing to do to him at that time in that condition. He SHOULD have remembered his lost buddy procedure but it seems he wasn't thinking clearly at the time, which at least Woody does note. If anything, though, part of my question here would be has he had wreck diving, particularly wreck penetration, training? If so the awareness of a potential silt out and the use of a line should have been part of his training as well and, as such, something very similar to cave diving in those aspects.

[@MY.NAME.IS.ME-_-96]

yeah that makes sense

[@lousuxjourney]

Agreed. One year sounds like a very short amount of time to have made the necessary trainings and amount of dives to be properly qualified for wreck diving (not impossible, I guess, but unlikely). And not to mention he was still quite young, 18, probably didn't want to leave without being by his dad's side in the panic.

2:30 I‘ve been very lean and slightly or borderline underweight ever since I was a kid and so many swim teachers told me it wasn‘t possible I couldn‘t float on my back. Like I would try, I would sink and they‘d just tell me I needed to try harder. Eventually I learned how to swim on my back but when I stopped and would try to float I would sink like always. Then in highschool we went swimming in regular PE class and floating came up and I said I couldn‘t do it and the teacher was like „yeah, you probably don‘t have enough fat“ and I was mind-blown because I didn‘t know that was a possibility. Now I have a little more fat and I was finally able to float on my back for the first time last year and I was pretty excited even though it took me like 10-15 years longer than everyone else to do this. It was in salt water which is easier but still, yay lol.

[@evolvedmonkey9978]

Here in Portugal, most dive shops will give you a "stubby" 12 liter tank for dives "80 cu" , at wreck dives some will give you a 15 liter tank, the weight between the 2 is negligible , I have 2 of my own, the 12 liter weights about 16 kg the 15 liter weights 17 kg to 18 kg, and you don't get aluminum tanks here, only steel tanks, and dive shops won't give the gigantic 18 liter or 20 liter tanks "20 liter tank is the biggest tank you can wear". Nitrox here in Portugal, is not common, for a 30 meter dive, most likely they will give you only air, I see a lot of confusion on the video, Nitrox will not give you more bottom time, will only expand the NDL to levels that are safer than air, "fortunately 2 years of Dive Talk thought me that" and most likely the Nitrox that they gave him, was the 32% Nitrox, the most common "non technical" mixture here. I bet this wreck was not at Portugal Mainland, we don't have that many intact wrecks here, I bet this dive was at Madeira Island, specifically to the Navy Corvette General Pereira D'Eça sunken as an artificial reef at exactly 30 meters depth at "Porto Santo, Madeira" but I also was expecting that a diver that has wreck specialization with penetration "he entered inside the Corvette" should be completely ok with the precise weights and buoyancy control, this whole situation smells like "you don't have enough certifications and experience to dive at that wreck"

[@Nilboggen]

The weight difference is even less underwater due to the increased buoyancy of a larger tank when it is full of gas that is lighter than the water around. To the point where you might even need more weights with a larger tank when its full.

[@DB-yj3qc]

​@@Nilboggen What.... when I lived in Europe, all I ever used was 15L tanks and the tanks didn't give you more buoyancy over a 10L. that was mainly used for shallow and training dives or rigged as doubles. My 2 personally owned tanks were 120 steel that I had with them. I could make dives without adding any weight. The surface weight was 67 lbs. I used them with my drysuit and only used weights for trim. Now, if using AL tanks, there is a positive buoyancy when lower pressure, I sold my steel tanks and just kept AL tanks, not doing any the deep or extended dives now.

[@Nilboggen]

@@DB-yj3qc Completely agree with the steel. But with aluminum a larger tank when full should have more buoyancy than a full smaller tank underwater. Between full and close to empty it should have around a 4-5 pound swing. From like -1 to -2 pounds when at 3000psi to like +2 to +3 pounds when down to 500psi for an aluminum 11 liter/ 80 cu/ft.

I prefer to dive steel tanks because I only need a 1 or 2 lbs weight that I put on the top of the tank for trim.

Scary Interesting is a good dude, legitimately. He cares about the cause, trust me. Doesn’t deserve any negativity.

[@KareemHarper]

I'm still here guys! Much love from THE Boogie Down Bronx!

[@Dkazzy61]

Very informative video, like the percentages of how much oxygen we use & why mouth to mouth CPR actually work.

[@terryhill4100]

the more i watch you guys,the more respect I have for you guys,it wont happen for me,because I cant go thought the crawl space under my house,but I would 100% trust you guys in a dive,thanks so much

[@mikeralph9817]

I will NEVER unsubscribe… I repeat NEVER . You guys are the best . It’s because of you one of my biggest dreams is to learn to dive one day !

[@nmart1337]

i watch every one of your videos and for some reason they stopped putting you in my regular recommended list... but dont worry i will always take the time to refind you guys!!!!!

[@samueldorrington8990]

There is so much false information in the orginal video. Glad you guys are pointing it all out!

[@unnamed_orphan1729]

I was one of the people who was purged from subscribing, but I watch dive talk almost every day of the week! Those stinkers

[@jamesmccrea4871]

One of you guys made the comment about "well, how do you know?" In the noted of the video he has a short message "Thanks to Calum for sending story 1." Calem is the diver in the story, he knows because he apparently got the story first-hand from the subject.

[@delilahboa]

22.20 you said "how do you know" reacting to the fact the narrator said Calum hadn’t dived again, he knew this because Sean from scary interesting (the narrator) got this story from Calum himself, Calum’s post is pinned on the top of the video comments and at the point of me writing this - June 24, the video on scary interesting is about 5 months old. So Sean DID know because Calum himself told him.

[@slimkt]

Glad you guys mentioned it, I just looked and realized YT randomly unsubscribed me.

[@shwiftyC420]

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, YT unsubbed me from the channel. Glad to have that straightened out.

[@Murakilok]

I absolutely love when professionals deconstruct a video and correct the narrators who are trying to sound smart. It honestly gives me life. I have high respect for divers. it's a dangerous profession if something goes wrong. You guys are great. Gonna subscribe. 😊

[@AZrcUnkaiged]

Hey guys! New follower, not a diver, loving the content. 2 things I would like to say. #1 Your videos and podcasts make me want to do, at least, some open circuit. (Did some when I was young, was fun, never got certified or continued) #2 Gus, I'm not sure if it was your intention, but this journey has transformed you. I had to pause this video and pull one I watched from 3 years ago. You have done wonders for yourself.

[@aaabucus3104]

I've been watching you guys for so long that I remember the video where you guys didn't know precisely that it was called Boyle's law! Man I love DiveTalk!!🏆

[@MetallicReg]

The good thing about going up with a nearly empty bottle, is that you get a couple more breaths out of the tank on the way. Even when the bottle is completely empty, there are still a couple of breaths between the stages when coming from such depth.

[@stevenwest000]

Just checked I’m still subscribed. Hope your subs continue to build 👍…..great content. Your channel must be one of few that non-divers subscribe to such as me, purely because the content is just made interest and you make a great team regardless whether I go diving or not! I guess it’s easy to panic, but best panicking in a swimming pool than in the ocean. Laryngospasm is essentially “dry drowning” because the airway is occluded by the vocal cords obstructing the flow of air and typically water will not enter the lungs but is still caused by “drowning”. I’m sure I’ve made that sound 10 times more complicated than it needed to be! Oh no i wasn’t expecting that ending. Absolutely tragic. Speechless. 😞

[@dezmodium]

That marriage proposal accident is the most tragic. That poor family. That poor woman. I hope she has healed.

[@bradlannon]

I haven't seen your videos come up in my feed in months...bit saw this one finally show up and then I noticed you HAVE been posting (afrer viewing your channel). Looks like I got lots of videos to catch up on. Somethings definitely going on with youtube...

[@davidyoung2111]

Ive never dove. I was in the Marines & we had insane swim training but never diving. Anyway I so appreciate you 2 guys taking me rhrough a world I would otherwise never have known. You guys seem like really good, smart guys that take safety very seriously. You guys are genuine professionals. Thank you for your awsone story telling. You have ALOT of non-divers so thank you for breaking it down.

[@katesmiles4208]

Great explanations of air/nitrogen mix and its impact on the breathing rate. I love the details.

[@gargantua8656]

I haven't watched the channel in a while and I genuinely didn't recognize Gus, he looks great!! Congrats!

[@_L0LA]

I really enjoy your videos! Love from Germany 🫶🏽

[@ray1170]

Always recommend people hit that like button! Love you guys! Glad to see woody in good health:)

[@Kittieku]

I love the reaction videos. Thank you Gus and Woody 🥰 ❤

[@TrueDisaster-]

Jesus that last story is tragic. I've actually never heard of it before... might cover this myself one day. I feel like this is one of those stories you don't ever forget. Thanks for the good videos guys keep it up

[@MacFufu]

Yep I was one of those folk and didnt notice till a week or two ago... very weird. But Im back and binging what Ive missed and more 💚 thanku guys 🧡

[@billfred9411]

Can confirm. KZbin unsubed me from your channel and i just had to resub. The recommended system seems to still know i watch your channel though because this video popped up for me.

[@ontheballcity71]

I don't often dive single tank these days, but my weighting for a steel 15l is the same as for a 12l.

[@EEDIR-DK]

It's a little bit heavier, but I agree it is not significant. My guess it's about 1 kg of extra negative buoyancy, not really enough to adjust your equipment...

[@maksdegek1]

Switching suits makes more of a difference yeah

[@Atman_Rez]

I know I was already subscribed but had to click it again. That is a very strange but thanks for the heads up. Love the channel!!! Recently OW certified and look forward to where it takes me.
