Tec diver dies in air deep dive challenge

[Joneill]

Clearly some don't care to try and communicate, or to understand what someone else is saying.
Words do have meaning....but you have to mean them and someone has to read them.
I'd say many underthink things.....

Personal decision to call it how you like - “personal record… personal best… deepest… longest… etc.,. “. I, for one, couldn’t care less how things I personally characterize get interpreted by others.

Are there any other news articles about this case?
There's so much that just doesn't seem to add up.

Apart from the insane choice of diluent and the target depth,
camera stopped filming 28 mins into the dive (3 mins after he goes unconscious?)
and he then spends 20 minutes at 90m while breathing an extremely narcotic gas mix with an equally extremely high PPO2 for TWENTY minutes?
And then he somehow magically regains consciousness and manages to "inflate for 10 secs", I don't dive a JJ but is there a function to see how many seconds you inflate for at a certain time?
Would an AI pod on your suit inflation source maybe be how they came to that conclusion, can't think of another reason how they would figure that one out since the camera was dead since 20 minutes back.

Not saying it's fake, I'm just really baffled as to how the above is even humanly possible.

Yes, both scuba and freediving, depth have no meaning, most beautiful view is above the ow limit.

Well, this depends on location. Here in the Mediterranean, the best dives are between 40 and 50 meters. Gorgonias (paramuricee), red and black coral, lobsters, etc...

These are still within recreational limits here, but you need a 3-stars CMAS certification or the like.

Going back to the OP’s post and looking at the Shearwater downloaded graph, from about 00:28 onward his PPO2 is running flat. It’s unlikely his solenoid would be firing to maintain the set point at 2.0+. It suggests that at this point he was, well, not metabolizing O2. Whatever initiated his ascent, it wasn’t him pressing to inflate. A current may have pushed him up just enough to create positive buoyancy, between his loop and bcd?

It also suggests his loop was not flooded. Gag-strap?

PS it actually pays to open the link in the original post and google-translate the page from Chinese, imperfect as it may be. Throws some light on his background, training and mindset, for what it’s worth

Reading the translation, it appears that this was not a big step in depth on air for him. However, it was a big step in bottom time at that depth, about twice as long.

He lost consciousness and died much earlier in the "dive" somewhere around 30mins. The rest of the dive is just shearwater logging his moving around until something gets bumped (adv?) and he ascends

So he's diving to 130m on what is basically air? He would have been significantly impaired by nitrogen narcosis at half that depth.

Worse than air, a nitrogen enriched gas actually. Although its hard to know exactly what his fN2 was with the cells in that state

Yes, this depends on location. When I learning OW the crystal water,cute fishes, jellyfish...etc make me excitied. But at AOW course, at same bay I saw nothing but sand and a abandoned anchor, a lion fish prostrate on it’s rust chain.

At philippine, bohol, the AOW zone meaning dark, green, more gas consumption.

"why I come here?"I think.

Some diver stopped at OW level, maybe this is the reason. : )

But at maldives, I feel the value of AOW first time.

According to the original article, he want break dive depth world record, "U" type air deep diving (
maximize bottom time ) is him trainning method to bulid resistance of nitrogen and oxygen.

The world record is: 509ft/155.143m- Dan Manion, 1994

I think that's like trying to break the record for surviving the longest fall without a parachute (10,160 m) by jumping off taller and taller buildings to build up your resistance to hitting the ground.
