I saw an episode last night where the exhaust fumes got sucked into the intake for the compressor. Dude came up choking and gagging talking about how he almost died. I'm surprised these guys have made it this long.

You can find it on History.com if you are hard up for entertainment, I mean really hard up.

Soooo, that would mean he failed to check his air before he dove. I say let Darwin do his magic on these morons.

No, the dude was on hookah, gas driven motor. They said the wind shifted.

It is pretty clear, the guy lost some brain cells previously. They brought along an old .22 rifle to shoot the gators. Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Edit: You can tell I was hard up for entertainment last night.

This was the "other" swamp guy, and he was using a hookah system - looked like the air intake was maybe 3 feet above the gas powered compressor. The explanation via voiceover was that the wind shifted, letting fumes get sucked into the breathing air intake.

What just kills me is that these morons are what, 10' down at the most? And they act like they're raising the Titanic. It's almost as laughable as a kid at the beach screaming that he's drowning and then being told by his dad to "stand up." At 10' you have no deco limit, you barely even have to equalize, and you are one quick press of your BC away from being on top breathing air again.

The real idiots in this whole thing are the public that watch this like they are doing something amazing difficult and dangerous.

Almost too painful to watch.

I'd love to see the old man's eyes if a banjo suddenly started playing the theme from Deliverance. He'd forget all about those gators.
