You are a hero and these idiots owe their lives to you. You should be diving at S/C for free forever!!!!! Good work from one DM to another.
@MadDistortion They …
@MadDistortion They had 3 minutes at 150 feet you moron, if you stretch it out you might be able to pull off 15 minutes at deco depths, but depending on the dive time their deco could be anything between 15min and god knows how long.
@shwick85 Did they …
@shwick85 Did they have enough air to do deco??? Are you serious retard? How about you go down to 150 feet with 400 psi left and tell me how long you’ll last doing deco. You realize that a deco stop is about 15 minutes…. As he said in the video they had 3 minutes of air left. Think next time
Amazing video, …
Amazing video, extraordinary !
kudos to you for …
kudos to you for noticing their situation and checking in on them. I’ve got to be honest, some of the things I have seen while diving just leave you scratching your head. EVERY diver should have at least a general knowledge of dive physiology and be responsible and competent enough to be completely self sufficient. If not for you, these two would have likely realized their air situation when getting a breath became difficult and shot to the surface with tragic results. Good job, fellow diver
Amazing video. I …
Amazing video. I get so stressed everytime I watch it – those kids were obviously narc’ed at 150ft. Idiots. You absolutely saved their lives, good job for checking on them. I’ve read all the comments about the divemaster’s role – i tend to think there was a bit of negligence though – leaving OW divers on a deep wall like that. Anyways, lucky for them you were there.

@bcason123
A divemaster’s responsibility is to generate a broad dive plan that individual divers plan their own dives within, to prepare for reasonably foreseeable emergencies and to orient divers to the site.
Divers must be responsible for planning their own dives and following that plan.They must be responsible for their own actions.

You saved two lives. People still think that this is like snorkeling, what did they say afterward, I bet they had no idea what’s going on.
You are a superstar …
You are a superstar my friend.
I hope they bought you a beer afterwards
good job man. they …
good job man. they could have had nitrogen narcosis, A.K.A. narked
did they have …
did they have enough air to do deco?
wow, that was a …
wow, that was a close one, very good work man !
you’re an awesome …
you’re an awesome diver, way to go bud..
A diver shouldn’t …
A diver shouldn’t bring a camera until they are more advanced. This is a prime example why. They were too bust getting shots, went too deep and stopped checking gauges, probably narc’d.
This could have ended up tragic way too easily. Diving is fun and actually easy, but one must dive within their limits! Deep diving, wreck and cave diving, night diving and yes, even photography should only be done by experienced trained divers.
Well done. Very …
Well done. Very well done.
u should have left …
u should have left them theyre idiots
Crap such as this …
Crap such as this is why new diver training ["Open Water"] should be MUCH more intensive.
wow u r a hero!!!
wow u r a hero!!!
Why did not one, …
Why did not one, but two divers get in that situation? Narcosis, eat up with dumbass? I old and havent dived in years, but when I did the first thing of many important things I constantly refer to is how much air at what depth. DId they have any problems doing an emergency rise from 150 feet?
over and over again …
over and over again…Check your buddy,check your air, and check your bottom time!!!!!
DM’s #1 …
DM’s #1 responsibility is to make sure when he takes 6 people down, he brings 6 people up. Alive. A friend of mine own’s a dive resort in Belize and she’s fired her DM’s for bringing up people who’ve run out of air. Saying that the DM is just a tour guide is like saying the bus driver isn’t responsible for his passengers. I know a couple of DM’s who would be insulted by your comments.

Sorry but I disagree that it is not the DM’s responsibility to monitor the divers. A DM’s #1 responsibility is to make sure when he takes 6 people down, he brings 6 people up. Alive.

What did those two divers have to say once they were on the surface?
