It is mind boggling to realize that marine biologists can stick GPS tracking devices on marine life as large as a whale but not attach such a device on diver's or diver's equipment to keep track of people/divers. It's crazy to think that gps tracking technology isn't standard or required for diving.

As a scuba diver, this is one of my greatest fears of diving open water, being lost, swept away by current, waiting to die of shark attack or exhaustion, my other fear is being pulled down into the abyss by freak downwelling currents that sometimes appear along shelf dives. I try to avoid the shelf dives, but as far as being lost, I always always have my GPS satellite SOS beacon on me. If I become lost at sea... click beep beep, here comes the troops, it will give you ETAs of rescue even. Best 400 dollar insurance policy you can have, every diver should have one.

Yep… the family and I were just talking about that the other day when we were sent a video of my baby niece having a seizure. We talked about how important it is to live every moment to the fullest and respect and love each other all the time because there’s always someone suffering greatly, who would rather be in your shoes and handling what you feel is so difficult. If they could snap their fingers and be there, they would let everything roll like water off a duck’s back. They’d smile, forgive, forget… Whatever it takes, because they know what it’s like to be in true pain, fear, despair and peril. Another example is the night I found out my 18-year-old niece was killed in a car accident. During the months before, I was trying to help a family member who had come on very hard times. There was a lot of stress and emotional drama to deal with as she was a single parent with three children, and things looked very bleak for her. Somehow, that day I talked her into us all renting bikes at a nearby park. We hadn’t done anything fun and beautiful for so long and the day was perfect. I remember seeing the children smiling, and it felt so refreshing to see her smiling. It was a beautiful day and we all went home, and I made a special dinner with the rare occasion to have us all sit down together at the table. I was a bit sad because she began feeling sick and had to go lay down. The children and I were eating dinner when the phone call came with tragic news. Devastation, fear, shock, every horrible emotion you could imagine. Then I had to wake my sister and tell her. After a couple of hours at around 1 AM, some close by family members and friends had come over and we all were gathered close and praying and crying. Suddenly, I had the clearest realization. I thought about the moments, hours before… My niece buckled under a dashboard… Crying for her mom… Trying to get air… Drowning on her own fluids. Bleeding out. (I worked in a trauma center OR , plus being an artist, unfortunately, things come to me very vividly.) It just dawned on me very powerfully that while my sweet niece was immeasurably suffering and losing her life… We were at a park on a beautiful day…not arguing… I was not angry or feeling sorry for myself, nor judging my sister or her life decisions that led me to moving in, and raising her children with her… The children were happy and getting along very well… We were actually having the most peaceful beautiful day we had had in many months. Remembering those things, I was so thankful that we did not dishonor the precious last minutes of our beautiful nieces life by wasting precious time on things that do not matter. Plus I was always thankful to know we didn’t have behavior to be ashamed of whenever we’d remember that day. That day, which began so beautiful for us, would end with enough pain of its own. 30 years later, and this beautiful human being still affects my life when I remember her positive attitude, and desire to make positive change in this world. So yeah… Every story like this makes me thankful, and filled with compassion for those who are suffering.

Jack Aldrich...this event took place 18 yrs ago. It wasn't a ''tourist'' dive. It was scientist who had lived in the Solomons for a long time. She was diver with skills to dive. It was research dive to an underwater volcano. He knew exactly its location....20 mls off the coast by land/sea co ordinates. It was a perfect day.....weather good, calm, flat sea. It was to be a 30 min dive to a specific depth. The boat was idling directly over the volcano which can not be seen from surface. The boat could not be anchored to keep position so it idled and with that fuel was being used. It is deep ocean. When he descended the volcano was not visua/visiblel, the water was bubbling with gas emissions. A current which was not detectable by him caused him to drift away from the vicinity of the volcano. When they surfaced they were far from the boat. They could have swum to the boat but they made assumption they could be seen. The boat continued to idle not able to locate them and knowing they should have surfaced very close to the boat. It was assumed by boat something had happened untoward under water, the fuel was lessening even to potential not to be enough for them to return to shore safely to refuel, alert others of missing divers to join search. He said to her....they'll be back by 4pm as he estimated the time for boat to get back to shore/return not knowing themselves the boat had not seen them. In the meantime they continued to drift from volcano position so when boats returned the divers were long gone. No search in correct area was actually taking place and same said for helicopter....searching in wrong area. If you were to holiday in Solomon Islands TODAY it would not be like this. You would have as you state....re safety precautions.....same as for your Mexico trip. I grew up in this part of the pacific. Volcanoes on land and under water are prominent. It forms part of the Pacific Rim of Fire. The islanders themselves have lived by ''ocean world'' and are very famiiliar with climate, storms etc in when to take boats out many mls in deep ocean. It just an unfortunate event. Also today much of the dive equipment has changed, computers are used and always the rescue sausage. My sister has dived for 35 yrs in warm climes globally and her equipment is like a tech store!

And what's even more bizarre is that these are mostly just hobbyists or vacationers, its not like its something they have to do to make living.

This whole trip was sketchy. - Low fuel on a boat that traveled only 1 hour (???) - No reserve fuel - No safety/tether line considering they were in the middle of nowhere around an active volcano underneath them - No radio on the boat to call for help. Instead, the boat had to travel all the way back to the bay to ask for help. Also, I don't dive, but couldn't they have given the divers a GPS tracker or something, knowing that the area has low visibility due to the volcano vents? Look, the ocean is a dangerous place. Scarier than the jungle. Don't go unprepared for pete's sake!

Dane Hereford.....he used his experience very wisely except he did not know he had drifted so far from the volcano and was continuing to drift away. I grew up in this area of the pacific. The pivotal part of his unfortunate event is the location of the volcano. He knew exactly where it was....20 mls off the coast on land/sea co ordinates. The volcano is not visible from the surface and neither can its bubbling world be seen from the surface. The boat was over the volcano and idling to stay in position. He would be 30 mins under water only. The boat was idling therefore using up fuel because it is way too deep to drop anchor and keep the boat in position. In the dive he could not see the volcano. It was totally occluded and he was in the bubbling environment. He was also drifting away from the volcano and then surfaced far from the boat. He was too far to be seen by the boat. In the meantime the boat continued to idle but they had no clue he was away from the statute location of the volcano. The boat left to get back to land for refuel and to alert others of what had happened. Other boats were launched. As the chap still believed he was in the volcano vicinity and that the boat carried only enough fuel to get to volcano and back again to shore is why he said to the girl.....we'll stay here and they should be back by 4pm. No boat could find them as they were not in the designated search area. The helicopter missed them for the same reason...searching the wrong area. His fear of sharks was not that big against hers. He is an islander and many who grow up in the Pacific do not have exponential fear of sharks. It is almost unheard of to have a fatality. Barracudas are more feared. As for the huge hammerhead harassing the fisherman it is there to take the fish not the human. Anyone who goes spear fishing which is what most of the islanders do expect sharks. This happened 18 yrs ago and if you go to the pacific islands for a 'holiday' and want dive it will not be this way. You'll get all the safety gear etc etc, you will more than likely dive over a beautiful reef system and not in the middle of the ocean.

1:ditch weight belt 2: inflate BCD 3: ditch tank and regs, retain compass, 4: set reciprocal compass bearing, 5: swim on your back following bearing. With SCUBA equipment, sculling is futile, it does nothing other than make you exhausted. Swimming on your front with a tank on your back forces your head under the water and is also prone to rotating around the body making swiming incredibly tiring.You can even remove your entire SCUBA kit and actually ride on the tank and jacket if you need to.

suppose to try swimming from the beginning when it's calm glad they survive one hell of a experience

In an open water dive you would think there was some kind of safety measure in place for if you surface way out of position due to currents. I dived on the great barrier reef on one of the outer reefs, we dropped in the ocean looking for a deeper coral shelf... instantly we couldn't find anything, our instructor dove super deep looking for it, all we could do was follow his bubbles at 25m down. It was one of the most surreal experiences of my life... I loved it. We surfaced far from the boat due to strong currents and he had an inflatable orange tube that he popped and it stuck up about 5 feet above water, they saw it and they came on a small motor boat and picked us up bringing us back to the main dive boat. Mad that he had nothing to attract attention. Insane the boat people had not enough fuel nor did they drive around the boat to look for them.

It would have been a good idea once the search party reached the spot (or the original boatmen once they realised they were missing), for someone to jump in the water and remain motionless and see which direction they drift, so they can work out which direction the current is moving, then head in that direction...

It's amazing how bad the reputation is for hammerhead sharks, given there's only been 17 recorded attacks on humans in the last _450 years,_ none of those attacks have been fatal, and only 3 of 9 total species have ever attacked humans. I could see them being naturally curious about such weird looking creatures on the surface, but that's about it. I think the fact it left them alone, despite one of them actively bleeding, shows how disinterested they are in humans as meals.

@@jg8963 No they're not. Hammerheads are known to be aggressive. It was hammerheads in that movie, the ones lost at sea after dive boat left them. Movie was called Open Water. In movie they used reef sharks but in actuality it was the hammerhead. They too swam for it but weren't as lucky as I recall. It's been years since I saw it but as they swam for shore and got closer at least one of them was killed by a hammerhead, maybe both can't remember.

Amazing that neither of the boat guys had a pair of strong binoculars that they could have used . Also considering the change in weather and current could not have thought to take the boat around for a few miles in each direction before leaving .

Bro… she signed up for a job working with marine biologists researching an underwater volcano and she’s afraid of sharks and volcanos? The one common denominator in all these shows are the people who are almost always woefully unprepared for these little “adventures” they’ve undertaken that most experienced people realize take copious amounts of time and energy to plan beforehand.

Neither! It must be so indescribably scary out there

I was once "lost at sea" too, solo night diving with a new boating friend who was non-experienced with divers. he left to go fishing while I dove down. I guess it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I was an experienced diver. When I popped up, it was dark and he wasn't there, but as it was nighttime, I could see the various boat lights clearly, as well as the city lights on shore, probably 2 miles away. It was very peaceful in the dark floating there, I shined my flashlight in all directions, doing a short wave in each of 8 directions hoping to get attention. Didn't get an immediate response, so I kept the light on, and just as a sudden thought washed over me that I was actually lost (lasted only a few seconds of panic), I realized I could probably just swim back even if it took 4 hrs. I contemplated how I'd go about it. But then I saw boat lights approaching and my friend rushed up to pick me up. Turned out, he marked my spot with his fishfinder/GPS, I guess that's how fishermen save spots. He didn't come back because I was flashing, he was just checking up, but realized I had been waiting when he saw my light. swim home averted. I caught a whole bunch of sandbass and sea urchins for the crew though.

Can we just praise the amazing camera work in this. Clap it up for the cameramen and the producers for making this ❤️ and all the other people like the actors.

Omg! They didn't even have binoculars! They were so unprepared for this trip!

On my first dive EVER at Julian rocks in Byron Bay, Australia I dared to ask the ‘big shark question’. My instructor laughed at me and blew my question off with an ‘about as likely as a lightning-strike’ kind of analogy. Less than two years later I was watching the evening National news and there was my instructor ( whose name i will not mention for his own privacy) explaining to the reporter the details of a harrowing shark attack that day on those very same rocks. A newlywed husband on his honeymoon died protecting his wife from a shark. It made me realise that no question is too stupid and even the experts don’t always have it right.

Made me cry .. David is from my hometown.. they were very lucky to have survived thank God 🙏❤

This situation never should have happened. There was a reckless disregard for even the most basic safety equipment and preparation. On a remote drift dive the first thing they should have had was a dive flag buoy both to warn any other boats that there are divers in the water but, mainly to give the boat crew an easy way to follow them in the current. Current underwater can be different than current on the surface. Both divers should have had 1. a Surface Marker Buoy to signal their location to the boat after the dive 2. A torch is always handy to have underwater but it is a very effective signaling device on the surface. 3. A whistle or other sound making device 4. in such a remote area a GPS signaling device. If they were properly equipped and trained the dive would have ended without incident. I think the reason the girl was nervous pre-dive, was the intuitive realization that they were ill-equipped for a remote drift dive.

I love these docu films

David had become jaded as to the danger over his 30 lucky years of studying the sea.
