Fatal diving accident video

[Cyber_Ghost]

Don't know if it has been posted before, but here's a link to a video of a fatal diving accident of a russian instructor (family is israeli) (EDIT: The location is the blue hole, Dahab), commentaries on the tape are by various experts (instructors, army divers, etc...).
The instructor had a camera with him that worked all the way trough the dive.

EDIT: About the accident itself, the name of the diver was Yuri Lipski, a certified instructor. Apparently he dived alone or ahead of his buddy. AFAIK the dive was done on air.

So, 8 minutes from the beginning of the diver's video tape to the end....That's all it took. And really, even less. He went to 92m - almost assuredly unprepared. I think the reality is that he was probably as good as dead by the time he hit 50m. He was most likely narced pretty good by then - and by himself - that was it ):

Welcome to Scubaboard! That video's been linked here a few times before. That's Yuri Lipski, I believe he was a Russian diver (instructor? don't remember); nobody really knows what he was trying to do in that dive - he just sank passively like a rock. Word was he was trying to dive the arch at 60m, but he could also have been attempting a bounce dive.

The commentary is just ridiculous. It makes no sense and the people who are talking don't seem to have the slightest clue what they're saying. At some point they talk about the regulator being out of his mouth, but you can still hear him breathing.

More like 5 minutes from top to bottom.

The translation is horrible, but the point where they say he hasn't got the regulator, you can hear a maybe a breath or two and then you just hear struggling. He's not breathing there.
About the entangled part, the translation is bad. It's translated by dictionary and not by meaning, what he says there is that he's already in the sand, silting, losing control, as this word in hebrew generally means getting in trouble.

Also, the guy in the end who says about it being sport, refers to diving the hole (and going trough the arch) without any qualification for it, as even an instructor wouldn't be qualified to do a 57m dive.

I think there's another thread out there, but this is the low-hanging fruit.

Not the first person to die on that site trying to do something stupid and certainly not the last.
