Scuba Diving in a Tsunami
Ғылым және технология
Several scuba divers are caught completely off guard by the sudden, violently swirling currents churned up by the 2004 tsunami that struck just off of Sri Lanka. (From Discovery Channel's "Tsunami Survival Stories")

Excellent experienced divers. The group were lucky to have divers with such dedication to their clients!
So the best place to be when a tsunami hits, is in the water. I'm filling up a bath, just in case.

the dive boat was probably fine because tsunamis only gain height when they get closer too the shore

they usually gain height by the middle of the ocean before they hit shore so there boat could have tipped.

Wow. Amazing to think a tsunami could affect things so far down as well as what's obviously going on on the surface. Glad they survived to tell of it.
It’s amazing to me that some how everyone found a safety buddy lol. Everyone except for the camera guy came up in pairs.
Yup... Natural disasters totally fascinate me!

If the tsunami brought you from 30 meters to 2 meters, and back down, what is the danger of decompression sickness? Had you been at depth for long?
@jesusofbullets
Жыл бұрын
Not that bad actually. Minor discomfort from the pressure change, but 30 meters isn't far down enough to really cause the bends. Now if it was 100 meters then that could definitely be an issue. Speaking from experience having to go from 25 meters back to the surface because of an oxygen emergency.
@steved3792

Late response but decompression wouldn’t be the issue as long as they weren’t at that depth for an extended period. It can absolutely happen but is more common in greater depths. The thing I’d be scared of the most would be your lungs over expanding when you shot to the surface. We’re taught to exhale during emergency ascents but with zero visibility and such a quick change you might be too disoriented to know what’s happening.
This had to have been Boxing Day, omg that was a very deadly quake and tsunami, I remember watching a doc about these divers.
Thanks for the knowledge and experience. Glad yall are safe.

They actually weren’t that deep in the ocean to get the bends. Someone on here said the divers would have to be like 100 meters down at first, then experience the drastic changes in depth before dealing with the bends.

Not the best option. In a tsunami, the entire water column is displaced so literally no matter how deep down you went the current would hit you. It’s not a surface wave so you can’t escape it by swimming deep down.
@reyhugo4879

Don’t ever do that !, lets say you try to go as deep as you can, add the height of the tsunami, thats how much water will be over you, the sudden change of pressure will kill you immediately ( if you are lucky)
what happened to the boat?

Re Me OMG! I wanted to ask the same thing!
That HAD to be scary!!!
Respect to you guys for real.
was there a risk of getting the benz from the current bringing them so close to the surface?
I was a diver.. and I could not think about been in a Tsumani and having a clear head.... I grew up on Midway Atoll Islands.. this is crazy.
Can a submarine dive a tsunami like go under the incomming wave or 400-500 m below it because the wave is under correct?
Wouldn't you get the bends ascending and descending like that? Or were they not deep enough?
Unimaginable from our perspective thank you for sharing

What happened to the dive boat?
Proper divers , looking out for one another. 👌
Which is the best type of boat to be in a tsunami? The options are jetski, kayak, raft, speedboat, cruise ship, or a fishing trawler
i googled it...but i think it's because out at sea, a tsunami wave is the same size as other waves so it doesn't really make a difference
The worst bit is getting back to shore to see all the dead bodies laying everywhere
Interesting to hear what happens underwater.
boat?
That would have been insanely terrifying.
I am! I'm not sure why because I'm terrified of waves..but I just am :-)
That has to be 1 of the scariest things to do swimming right through a tsunami
What’s a veelchair?
Blessed to be alive. Praise JESUS CHRIST. 😊❤🙏
Ive always wondered what it would be like.
"So how did you die?" "I didn't go underwater"
Video of it?
Not to sound like a fiend but I hope this happens again to other experienced divers who are recording with a gopro so we can really see the drama unfold. Would be an interesting watch.
incredible experience wow.
In the event of an emergency or something similar you can cancel your safety stop. Actually as a dive master as a duty of care you MUST cancel your safety stop to ensure everyone else is safe after a crazy event like that. As a precaution should all go to a hospital with a chamber since going to 17m to 2m twice in less than 5 seconds would cause a very high risk of DCS even with a safety stop.

I was curious why they would do a safety stop since they already surfaced.
wow, its a smart way to escape from the tsunami.. the guys stay alive, ;D
Wow, that's one dive I wouldn't want to make. How deep do you think you would have needed to be to eliminate most of the turbulence?
@amitysea
3 жыл бұрын
It affects the entire water column, so the turbulence goes from the ocean floor to the surface. If you are aboard the boat in very deep water, it's not as noticeable.
These people need to have some god damn faith.
I would dive with these people any day! So professional!

That must've been an easy way to get bends if you didnt do the safety stop.
yes you have a point.. but it still seems better then if you're on the beach... you'll sweeped away if the water comes to you .. sorry for my english, im from holland
there's something about tsunamis i just can't get enough of. i think i'd be like a rabbit in car headlights - wandering into the sea. scary. check out "ten things you didn't know about tsunamis"
the best place to be in a tsunami is deep water but not underwater. The wave still carries the energy underwater like he talked about but barely above it so on the boat would’ve been better
camera man??? were is the footage??? and 16 m to 2m and down again ??? no decompression sickness ???
I wish there were more tsunamis
Sometimes we divers tend to dive with cameras and video cameras...ever hear of a Go Pro camera? They work underwater too.
