To be clear .. there is no 'Many' The ONLY athlete that has died in competition is American Nick Mevoli. He had a pre-disposing condition that he failed to disclose to an anyone and did not self-check himself from diving. He had a deep blackout at 45m (safety divers come in on a dive like his at 30m. So the counter ballast was activated and he was on the surface in about a minute. But because of his condition (lung injury) he was not able to be revived. Stephen's death as seen here was NOT in competition. It was a 'stunt' at the behest of Alessia and series of things went wrong which ended up causing his death. Nick aside, there have been ZERO deaths in competitive freediving. The safety procedures are incredibly good.

I got into Freediving back in 2011. It is a serene and sublime activity. I started out on holiday in Spain in a pool that was 3.5 metres deep. It was incredible lying on the floor of the pool for four minutes watching people do lengths 3.5 meters above me, oblivious to the fact that I was there. I had someone watching me though for safety, they were trained in what to do if DWB OR SWB occurred. I now dive in so many wonderful locations. It is SO IMPORTANT that if you ever decide to get involved in Freediving to ALWAYS have someone watching you/a safety diver. Never dive alone as in some cases blackout can occur without warning. Touch wood I've never blacked out however I never really push things to the absolute limit of my breath hold.

Hi Mizzy, I thibk you confusing blackouts with Deaths. There is lots of footage of divers being carried to the surface by Sfety Divers, but they do not die. They have just blacked our from hypoxia (their body has burned all the usable oxygen) When you black out underwater your epiglottis stays stopping water from entering your lungs and drowning. As long as you are taken to the surface reasonably (1 - 2 min) before sn unconscious 'gasp reflex' occure, you recover almost immediately and with no known permanent effects. The only death in competitive freediving was Nick Mevoli, but it was later established that a had a predisposing condition he kept to himself. The death of Stephen Kennan was not at an organised competition it was just a personal dive for Alessia at which Stephen agreed to Safety in conjunctin with some others. The reasons why that happened or too detailed for here, but it was unfortunate chain of events. The loss of Natalie Molchanova is puzzling. Again, nt in competition, she was teaching a class to two students. On the surface during the lesson she said to them "Stay here I'll be back in a second in a minute. She never returned and no one knows why. I think the seafloor under them was 'only' 40m. Natalia was capable of over 100m, so that remains very puzzling. If you only hsvr the most basic freediving course and follow the rules. Never dive or train alone. Practice one diver down, one diver up at al times. And only dive with a buddy who is capable of rescuing you ire required. Then deaths are actually non-existent hth

The description of the lung squeeze wasn't correct. That's not what free divers mean when they talk about lung squeeze. They're talking about the lungs compressing so much as they descend that the sensitive tissue inside squashes against itself causing injury. For normal free diving, lungs expanding as you swim up isn't a problem.

Correct. Normally lungs are very flexible. But as we descend and they are compressed they become less flexible.This in itself is not. problem, Amny divers are reaching depths of 100-130m+ now. Bu as the lungs are compressed the Mammalian Dive Response (MDR) also works by shifting blood from the extremities to the internal organs. This is an adaptation to make these Orans (especially the lungs) incompressible beyond a certain point. This has only been understood in the last 20-25 years and is why in the 70s and 80s the physiologists said "If you go below 60m you will die from lung rupture. They didn't know about the blood shift into the lung tissues. Back to the blood in the lungs. The lung issues are now very inflexible. A 'lung squeeze. Should be more accurately called a 'lung tear' A common way to invoke it is at the turn at the bottom of the dive. As you hit the plate in freewill, you hands are usually by your sides. The you have to tumble tuen and reach out and up your arm to grab the rope for the turn. Stretching your arm up like that puts a stretching stress on the blood engorged lung tissue and a tear occurs. Usyually painless. As you ascend and your lungs re-inflate and blood circulation returns, a small amount of blood from that tear makes its way into the lungs and travels to the airways which us why yu tase and feel blood in your mouth or nose and if you cough (which you feel like doing) you cough up blood. It's far from fatal and whilst not common, also not unusual. Average recreational freedivers going to say 50m get squeezes. Thew anser is slow and steady adaptation. Excersies to increase your lung capacity and felxilibity and care with technique not to induce a tear. hth

Can someone explain why its not safer? - They had two ropes leading to a fixed point at 55m. Why didnt they use a horizontal rope that connected both ropes. Then she wouldnt get lost and stephan had survied - Why is they no lights connected to the deepeest part of the rope so you dont miss it. Also the safety diver and the freediver could have lights? - Why was Stephan the only safety diver? - Why arent there scuba diver for safety? They can drag free divers up when they start to struggle and at the same time can stay below decompression zone
@deanlaffan2390 Жыл бұрын
Stephen wasn't the only safety diver .. there were 5 more in water plus a topside team.. Scuba divers don't work for rescuing free divers. By the time they get in position they have incurred a deco obligation so cannot surface.They also run the very real risk of lung barotrauma (fatal) if they came up fast on compressed gas. Other free divers however can surface as fas as they like. In a nutshell,Steven had planned to meet Alessia at a. certain precise time into her dive. But he was delayed in getting off the surface. So she exited the hole in the blue hole and he wasn't there. Secondly she was confused and thought she was still in the hole and followed the awall around to the right. When Stephen to to depth he saw swimming AWAY from him and the safety line and extra Safeties above, so he had to sprint horizontally to catch her start their ascent. When they did surface they were a long way from the other safety divers and took a minute for them to get to them both, by which time Stephen had a surface BO and drowned You can read the official incident report here which has very precise information and you will understand www.aidainternational.org/PostDetails/47

Zecchini was inexperienced in open water, was unfamiliar with the Blue Hole, and wanted to tackle it without fins rather than with the usual, more powerful mono-fin. As her safety, Keenan agreed to meet her at −50 m (−160 ft), though the standard limit for safety divers is −30 m (−98 ft)." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessia_Zecchini) So sad

@ernestocelestine2189 Жыл бұрын
It's not an urge to inhale, it's urge to exhale. Due to buildup of CO2 your intercostal (interrib) muscles start to contract involuntarily, which makes it quite uncomfortable, especially for a beginner freediver (our body actually senses our oxygenated state through CO2 blood levels, which lower blood pH). With training you can learn to relax your body even when the contractions arise and become more violent. When you become more adept in holding breath you can push yourself to the edge while still not knowing the precise signals that tell you when to stop your breathold. When we stop the long breathhold we exhale, but the oxygen levels in our blood still fall for the next 15 seconds or so. If you do not perform correct recovery breaths you can blackout in that short time period after finish your "dive".

Someone replied with very detailed answer, kudos to him/her. With more practise you get used to holding your breath longer and in deeper waters (aka more pressure pressing against your whole body). I think (I'm not sure) water entering your body, entering your lungs would be worse than passing out and having your airway blocked from drowning. If you black out but your mouth and nose are covered, the chances of you surviving are higher than having your lungs filled with water because (again, I think) when you black out and not get drowned your brain basically shuts down and conserves energy for the brain (itself) in order to ensure you survive, but if you inhale water you're basically fxxked? Not a medic nor a pro in freediving, but it's easier to do medical resuscitation and get someone to recover if they just black out, compared to someone who gulped down water and has their lungs full of it.(? The former normally recovers when you do mouth to mouth resuscitation while the later requires you to be full mode CPR and you have to ensure water exits their lungs in order to survive. During the freediving course they teach you to identify signs that you're running high on CO2 (low on oxygen), which causes your diaphragm to contract and move uncontrollably a lot. That's basically when you know that's the red signal and you should be aware. Still new to freediving so this is just my personal opinion. Nonetheless that's an extremely good question from your end. I'd like to find out the "correct" answer too Cheers mate
@tillfischer1908 Жыл бұрын
@lesteryoung there is a thumb rule that by the time the contractions start your about 2/3 away from blacking out. So 2 minutes breath hold and you get contractions, you could do 1 more minute with your body trying to inhale before you actually BO. And yes of course it’s much worse to swallow water and drown than to be unconscious and get to the surface with your airways closed. Most of the time there is not even need for cpr. You just do the “tip tap blow talk “ and unconscious people will wake up and start breathing, without any major health issues

She needed to meet up with her diving buddy (safety diver) because of the risk of the blackout while surfacing. She would immediately drown if Stephen wouldn’t have watched out for her. And he went down the one line they had, where she was supposed to go up. There are few people in history that could’ve achieved what Stephen did when he went to search her, leave the rope behind, swim to her fullspeed, bring her up to surface and bring her body into a position where she didn’t drown from the blackout (which they both had). He was so selfless that he used his last seconds of conscienceness to do so. 2 more ropes wouldn’t have saved her, because there was only one Stephen… RIP

If you had at least a few ropes instead of one, it would be much easier to find when you come out from under the arch and the entire situation would have been avoided.

We were quite disappointed after the film. So much can be done for real safety, but just neglected.. Blinking LEDs on the lines to easier be found ("she did not find a line"), small emergency breathing bottle.. emergency ascending inflatable balloon.. Blood saturation level based emergency ascending system. All technology is there, one just need to combine all in a working unit. Instead - "He is down there and we dont know whether he is alive", "she did not find a line" and so on.. wtf?! I had an impression they just want to dive and dont want to live.

Hanging an air tank for a freddiver to breathe would be catastrophic. Taking a breath at depth and attempting to make the surface will absolutely 100% give yu ruptured lungs and or an air embolism (bubbles in your blood which lodge in your brain. It is in your basic training in freediving 101 you NEVER take a break h of air from a scuba diver or air tank at depth. Fatal.

@@deanlaffan2390 I see. I rather meant something one could use on last meters. Let's say 20 meters deep, although it is still 2 bars more.. As noted here and in a film, the black out mainly happens on the last meters at an ascend. They probably head up already to the surface and see it and can do nothing, just black out... I know there are many complications, but the way it is now - a risk is too high.

@@TushhsuT The real danger is IN that last 10m. The pressure goes from 2ATA to 1ATA a 50% reduction in pressure and more importantly ... volume. Your lungs only need a small amount of overpressure to rupture (About 10% of Max vol as I recall) There is no place fro any kind of 'emergency tank' in freediving. Remember apart from this high profile death (this was a private dive, not even at a competition) There has only been ONE death in modern organised freediving (Nic Mevoli) who had a pre-disposing condition he did not disclose to organisers, safety team or medical team.. Blackout in comps are common as people push their limits, as side from Nic, deaths are non-existent.

"The bends". Because they're not breathing pressurized gas and they're not spending enough time under pressure for a significant amount of that gas to be absorbed by the tissues of the body. Scuba divers spend tens of minutes at depth.
@deanlaffan239011 ай бұрын
Air is 79% Nitrogen (N) 21% Oxygen O2. The bends (Decompression Sickness) in scuba divers is because they are breathing compressed air at depth for a decent time. The oxygen is metablised so is irrelevant at what pressure it is at. But we cant use the N, it is what is termed 'inert' to our bodies biology. So it just moves in and our of our lungs and tissues. But underwater (on scuba) our tissues become what's called 'supersaturated' with N, the deep we go and/or the longer we stay the more N we build up. That's OK, the N can find its layout via our lungs as long as we ascend slowly and leave enough time for ll the extra N to get around blood supply, get to the lungs and diffuse out. But free divers take only ONE breath from the surface, take it to depth and return to the surface WITH THE SAME BREATH, so there is no extra load of N from breathing air at depth under greater pressures. There are some unusual situations where DCS in freediving CAN become an issue, but they are not germane to this conversation. Does that make sense ?

I m tired of watching this accident happening in freediving. Can you talk about challenging yourself? the feeling of the water? the sensation and emotion you get when you go deeper and deeper? the fatigue that it cost out of the water? geeze..

Maybe the absolute dumbest thing in the universe is “I’m the ‘safety’ guy, you know, the one who is supposed to rescue you if something happens….but I have no air tanks or anything, so I’m just as vulnerable as you “. Ridiculous. That’s like having the lifeguard at your local pool who can’t actually swim….
@adrienpubgm Жыл бұрын
Safety guy with air tanks wouldn’t save anyone, due to pressure relief stops you need a lot of time to get to the surface with air tanks, the only way to help a free diver having troubles is to bring him to the surface quickly thanks to safety guys holding their breath… stop acting smart if you don’t know shit about the sport, freediving and security issues

"Looks dangerous" need not be equivalent to "is dangerous". In a competition environment, freediving is extremely safe. I say this as a competitive freediver. Please educate yourself about the sport before you make insulting claims about it.

I used Badjao Technic and I can dive alone without taking any risks. A small mistake is very dangerous never pushed your body when your brain tells you to stop. Instincts and Common Sense must be highly used in Freediving.
