Re: Fatal Dive Captured on Video
There has always been a bit of misinformation going on around this case. I read up on it a bit a few years ago when I first encountered this video. First of all, the people reviewing the tape are not experts. They say he's calling, "help", which he is not. He has a regulator in his mouth and isn't saying anything. What they are hearing is a piece in his 2nd stage regulator. He didn't have an asthma attack, he didn't have too much weight on, or any of that. What Yuri was trying to do was a "bounce dive". In recreational scuba diving, divers gradually descend to a certain depth, explore, then ascend again gradually enough (and with safety stops) to prevent getting decompression sickness / "the bends". Yuri Lipski was, instead, doing a bounce dive. This involves piling on the weight, dropping as quickly as you can manage to a pre-determined depth, then either dropping your weight or inflating your BC vest to "bounce" back up. The people who do this are, I think, looking to boast about depths they've reached, and sometimes about how quickly they did it. It's not tremendously safe, not the least of which is because you can get Nitrogen Narcosis, which can leave a diver disoriented and confused. This is what happened to Yuri. He got narced, confused, couldn't figure out how to get off the bottom. Then he got tangled up in things, as well as ruining visibility with all of his thrashing about, which probably didn't help his disorientation at all. Experience: scuba diver for 8 years |

Re: Fatal Dive Captured on Video
 I felt nitrogen narcosis at 90-100 ft, after breathing mixed gasses, everything was much easier after that and ascended another 100 ft. Only idiots go solo, you always need a dive buddy..... |
