0:05 His line did indeed kink hard. Agreed snuba divers need basic training, but this snuba system is very poorly set up. The hoses are way too short and no swivels to relieve twist. Liability suit in the making.

"...you ain't gonna get bent from 5 meters or less, no matter how fast you go up." You may not get the bends (decompression sickness), but you can get pulmonary barotrauma, arterial gas embolisms, and other air-expansion injuries. Let me ask, Jonathan, are you are certified diver?

Wow. He did CESA at a very fast rate. 😂

Cant believe I just signed in 2 years later to say that the safety diver that swims to him should have been watching the lines.

You don't need a bcd to dive technically. There are also half a dozen other regulators near by for buddy breathing if it came to it..... not to mention, so long as he exhales on up there is basically no risk in bolting for surface at this depth. Also DCS at this depth is not really a factor. Id probably send it

Looks fine to me. They’re not that deep

He breathed out hard before his ascent and also his line(the long one to his back) was knotted. Idk, it seems to me he did well.

Yes, his air supply cable twisted very badly, it closed his oxygen supply, it only untwisted when he started to panic. His cable was tight as hell too, I wonder how can they use an equipment in such a hazardous way, without proper attention....

Well no alternative air supply, no buddy, this might be the best way if the air is out. But he did breathe out, that was good

@trakkaton as an instructor, it is my experience that some non-divers tend to hold their breath when given compressed air underwater. time ago ago, a group of italian divers stupidly ofered their octopusses to two snorkelesrs, badly hurting one of them. the victim later stated that once he had air in his lungs down there, he made sure to keep it in his lungs for as long as he could.

@ezcompany but you agree with me that overexpansion can happen from 25 ft rifgt? he is exhaling, maybe, but...is it worth risking it?

I went snuba diving in grand cayman and the same thing happened to me. The hose got kinked and I couldn't breath in air. I tried to motion to the nearest diver even doing the hand signals with beating my fist into my palm, but none of them heard me, so i started to rise up.

Snuba is what they are doing in the video. The divers' air is supplied by a compressor at the surface. This is in contrast with Scuba, which is self contained, i.e. you wear your air supply on your back.

@wirikuta14 Most non-divers don't have any air left once they realize they have a problem at all.

@HimGuyOverThere no decpmpression limit was not the issue there, lung overexpansion (barotrauma) is the issue, and you dont need 60 ft for that, a few feet will suffice.

The guy actually did everything right, for an uncert diver. He had a kink in his hose, wasn't getting any air, and made his way to the surface blowing out his air. The support "diver" who came over to him had NO air -- what should he have done? Every support diver should be carrying a Pony.

First, he should have kept the regulator in his mouth, and done his blow-and-go THROUGH the reg. Second, if you look at 0:10 you'll see air coming out of the reg. As soon as he put some slack in the line, the air started flowing again. If he'd had the reg in his mouth he'd probably have detected that.

This is like watching sheep heading to slaughter. People who don't know the dangers are at the mercy of money-hungry outfits that don't give a crap about someone's well-being. This guy is very lucky he didn't have an over-expansion injury. Those that say this couldn't have been lethal are woefully un-informed, naive or just plain stupid. This industry should be shut-down or limited to 5ft of depth.

I saw the line kinked. He should have been more informed. Blowing out while shooting up is a must

yeah their right his hose did get a kink in it but like i have learned in all dive classes ( stay cool, calm and collective) at least he exhaled the whole way up

There's a CESA and then there's a panicked surface sprint. I just hope he didn't try to hold his breath...

Are they expected to tread water once they surface??

i think he was experiencing a reverse block, as he started to feel the sinus pain, he started to panic, then he tried to equalize, couldn't relieve the pain and then he shot up.

yeah, but I know that. But the diver was far away not really looking at me. The pounding of the fist was to gain attention

Panicking only brings the ability NOT to think clearly. Perhaps death.

@ezcompany ok, didnt know you were certified, your comment made me think so. I was witness to an overexapnsion incident from 15-20 feet of water about 16 years ago, a SCUBA diver offered his octopuss to a snorkeler, injuring him badly. it can happen very shallow, trust me.

@wirikuta14 Over-expansion (AGE) can occur in as little as six or eight feet of water, under the wrong conditions.

Regardless of his panic, his ascent rate was only just out of limits. Hardly dangerous. It's what you nuggets deserve for trying to squeeze the BSAC syllabus into 20 minutes! LOL!

yes, but in order to get attention you beat on your hand so they can hear, then you signal

it's fist to chest for low air, hand across throat for no air...that's for PADI at least.

@mauiprowler in Cozumel where I live a divemaster friend of mine had to rescue a snuba diver (he wasn´t guiding the snuba tourists, he luckily was around) they are usong these helmets, astrounat like, heavy things, probably because they look cool, so, the snuba diver fell and his helmat was flooding, and as I said, those helmets weight a ton, so my friend went there and stabilized the poor guy.....I hope the perfect record continues. regards.

that was some snuba tourist shit.

naw... you can see one of the instructors pouring beer down the tube.

I bought my own system did lots of practice in the pool first now I can take my regulator out and stay down and exhale to the top slowly I also practice that .but I never go past 12ft that's just stupid.

I would imagine it's due to the depths? I'd never heard of SNUBA until I was prepping my GF for her OW course. It doesn't seem like much more than 5-10 metres... as long as you breath out and you haven't been down too long it's probably pretty hard to snuff yourself. Most of the bent people I heard of were instructors/DMs doing bad dive profiles over the day... or forgetting to switch from Nitrox.

What, were they in a swimming pool?

yeah you are right but the thing is this kind of diving is wrong at the beginning.

@wirikuta14 he was in less than 25 feet of depth. i seriously doubt he would have been "fatally" injured from that panic incident. not to mention the fact that they have probably not been underwater that long during their little session.

@wirikuta14 there won't be over expansion because he is exhaling air on his way up to the surface. over expansion injuries only happen if ascends to the surface without exhaling at all. my point remains the same, it is highly unlikely that this particular diver will have Mediastinal Emphysema, Subcutaneous Emphysema, Pneumothorax, or Arterial Gas Embolism based on this video alone. and for your information, I am certified through PADI. I am however more interested in freediving than scuba.

Always breathe normally during ascent, if possible. 1 ft. Per second,60ft./ minute. stop during ascent for decompression, if you have enough air in your tank.

Can you get the bends from this?

SORRY , PADI had nothing to do with this, This non certified SNUBA diver, actually did everything a certified diver would have done.

But , the panikced diver did a pretty good controlled emergency swimming ascent.

kinked hose .im a sinker so i stay wearing a life jacket

I wonder how many novices have been bent using snuba? Dangerous to say the least

Must be a GUE diver

i think if i was ever to scuba dive ill save up the extra cash and get it all properly done, with professionals and proper gear etc.... this looks too scary..

@EqRed0x lol and it was working properly exactly when he spit out his regulator. Panic can freakout everyone :P

That looks like at least 4 kg with no wetsuit or jacket. Are they trying to drown people now ?

Diving is not for everybody.

with a Controlled Emergency Ascent you should always stay behind your smallest bubbles, this was pure panic, no controlled ascent. It is very irresponsible to leave someone like this, someone who probably isn't even trained to dive such a huge distance away from the nearest supervisor, and the fact that the supervisor didn't react at his state of panic. Shame shame shame. It seems that many Dive masters and instructors think that good diving and teaching is looking after their own buoyancy.

This looks dangerous yet boring. Happy to be a diver.

0:12 2 lines in the loop all pun intended lol

Breathe normally during ascents

@wirikuta14 I'm a scuba instructor too, I've never taught snuba , I hate snuba! I went on ONE snuba dive and never will again. I videotaped this episode and I understand how diffucult it is to teach people snuba Funny thing is..... snuba has a perfect record.... Go Figure!

@ezcompany really? you know that at 25 feet you´re breathing almost as twice air molecules than at the surface, so if you hold your breath and surface the volume of air will double, causing air overexpansion, which is very likely to rupture a lungs, which in turn can give you an embolism? we´re not tlking about decompression sickness here.

did someone say embolism?

Why the panic? All those hoses in the water ; potential for snag.

Bolt to the surface while holding your breath is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (and also extremely stupid!) and usually result in serious injuries and even deaths. Bolt to the surface while exhaling CAN be dangerous, CAN lead to a decompression sickness and CAN also result in serious injuries and deaths but CAN BE TOLERABLE by the human body if it is done after a relatively short and shallow dive (the danger depends on some parameters, for example the maximum depth of the dive, the bottom time, the actual depth prior the emergency ascend and many other personal parameters such as age, fit, diseases and so on). Doing a CESA (an emergency ascend while exhaling) is considered ALMOST safe up to 9m deep in a dive under the NDL limit (ALMOST safe, but not 100% safe..... there still are some chances to get a decompression sickness, so don't do it unless in a real emergency!).

Well hes only 15 feet down. Why?

@wirikuta14 100% Agreed..

Well if you put a diver on a leash that was 20 feet long scuba would have a perfect record as well. And being an instructor doesn't make you a good one, luckily i have only had one bad instructor. Are you a recreational instructor or tech?

100% correct homeboynr6 , I had little patience to comment on poorichardsaunders who has no clue of overexpansion injuries, Has nothing to do with how long you have been down. Thank you for setting him straight. And I say again, I was not his instructor, I was the videographer, And I do not condone snuba in anyway. I agree with wirikuta14.

Lucky it was only 10m

Ah snuba in Hawaii? The Japanese tourist loved that crap

look at the hose at 00:6 top left , sharp kink cant blame the guy for heading to the surface pdq , and quite why the dm was grabbing his belt is beyond me , looks like a totally cowboy set up . Who needs air ,,, the guy with a kink in his hose and no back up needs air ,, poor advert for a second rate looking outfit.

There is just so many thing wrong with this whole vid, I'm no expert I've been on 2 beginner dives but no alternate air I mean cmon that's a recipe for disaster

Dumb snuba excursion, the divers have no idea how to dive. Main Thing: Organizers get their money....

Knowing what it takes to get certified, even as a beginning diver, I now know how stupid this kind of half an hour in the pool and we will take you out diving tourist stuff is. I don't even want to be in the water with people who have so little training. There's NO way you know what you need to to be out in the water breathing compressed air after half an hour. You don't even know what you don't know.

Instructor with thousands of dives, intros, discover scubas, divemaster classes and everything in between. SNUBA is a great introduction to the underwater environment. Better than snorkeling, not as good as diving. Great for a snorkel catamaran. Also snuba is great for more family members, so the family can stay on one boat. Snuba is just a breathing experience underwater. Nobody ha a snuba logbook....do it once and you will know if you will like scuba... or maybe stick to golf.

you are incorrect, 0:14 look on the top right, the hose is also kinked and the diver still manages to breath.

Shoulda paid attention to your dive briefing? SHOULDA GET A REAL DIVING TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION. Keep playing with those shitty rigs and enjoy the consequences...

This is not scuba and bolting to the surface is not harmful, there is a slight chance for lung expansion but no chance for DCS. Ambient pressure is not given since the first stage is at the surface. That is why you do not need to be certified to snuba. Breathing underwater is terrifying for most, and for those of us with hundreds and those with thousands they still get uneasy with situations. If this were to happen in scuba gear it would be dangerous. Grabbed a bolter who had an o-ring blow on his first stage he refused my second stage and his dive buddys second stage he panicked and bolted. We both grabbed him and he started to drag us up with him i went up about 15 -20 feet and with my computer blowing up i let go of his BCD and grabbed his buddies and his fins. still beeping i let go and waved and safley ascended the rest of the 70 feet to the surface. No injuries thank god. but that is a bolt this is not an emergency...

@AvidDiving

You are miss informed, breathing any gas at depth regardless of the source will make the gas compress to a size relative to the ambient pressure out side. A bolt from 15- 20 ft is just as serous as a bolt from 100ft. Gasses compress at a hire ratio the first Atm of pressure you encounter. Its very easy to get an over expansion injury from 20 ft. You can get a lung to pop from as little as 3 ft of depth with a big enough breath. Your sinuses as well as your ears can also very easily get damaged if you bolt to the surface. This Snuba stuff is the same thing that a commercial diver does working hundreds of feet below the water. A surface supplied gas brought down by a long hose. those guys do follow the same rules of decompression any compressed gas diver. As does any one that uses snuba. Yea you dont need to worry to much about getting bent do to shallow depth but all the physics that comes with diving still apply. A certification means nothing, you should take a proper class and learn the and understand the skills and science behind diving. Having a C card does not make a person safe or knowledgeable as a diver. being a safe and knowledgeable diver make you one.
