what a piece of SHIT red flags everywhere

What makes sense and is my opinion as to what happened. Its more likely he was pre breathing the rebreather the with electronics were turned off. The PPO2 was probably .21 (air) because he'd had it apart prior. He then breathed it down to a lower level and without realising, jumped in the water, passed out and sank. If the rebreather was switched on during the pre breathe it would have warned him of the low PPO2. If he didn't do the pre breath and just jumped in the water, the rebreather would have sensed it was in water, turned on and warned him of the low PPO2. If you are sat in your home breathing on a rebreather without turning it on you will die.

I think Dive Talk did a video on him.❤😊

Has anyone seen 'Dave not coming back'? A very interesting documentary about a Cathay Pacific Captain who lost his life diving out in South Africa. Another example of the swiss cheese effect.

When situations seem unacceptable, can you contact the agency (SSI/padi etc.) to report the shop and will they audit the shop? Or do you just have to eat the monetary loss and refuse to dive. This is better than being dead or injured but it seems unfair that agencies allow this. The whole point of an agency for me is that I can count on standards.

Recreational OW to CCR DM in 22 weeks of part time education? Who actually thinks thats safe?

It's not at all right, nor fair, to blame his wife! She simply said she was behind him and knew he really wanted to finish (which was (1) one last dive! This is instructor error , Brian's error for wearing a dry suit in very hot weather and rushing through the checklist because he was hot and frustrated! Blaming his wife is actually very unfair and a very erroneous statement, for which you should be ashamed of!!

THIS DOCUMENTARY JUST FELL INTO MY LOOP ON YOU TUBE BUT IAM GLAD I WATCHED IT SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS (NORTHERN IRELAND)

Thank you for posting this video. My heart goes out to the family of this young man. I am an airline pilot for a major US airline. I recently earned my open-water certification from an accredited dive school. I am surprised at the similarities diving has with flying. Compared to the training I receive at my airline, however, dive training has a "relaxed" mindset with very little discussion on risk assessment. Although I did receive very good training with a very competent dive instructor at the dive shop I attended the approach is much different from the risk-focused training and daily operational procedures I follow at work. Like flying, we are inches from a very bad outcome. I hope that in the future dive schools/training embrace standardized training with a focus on risk and human factors as well as a just culture mindset so these types of tragedies do not occur again.

I could listen to Gareth speak for hours. what a great mind.

Boring video! I should have known from the lack of comments. Impatient, uneducated man dies. There, done! Saved you 30 minutes. There's no actual footage of the incident, either. Boring!

Too bad the words at the bottom of the screen are unreadable.

Thanks for producing this! I just utilized it in a divemaster course and prompted a great discussion.

i feel so sorry for ashley. she must have struggled so much with blaming herself after this.

His grasp exceed his reach...the main lesson to take from these diving accident videos is to stick with recreational open-circuit scuba diving (unless diving for specialized work or military purposes).

Wow, very relevant example. Thanks alot sir. Thumbs up from Uganda

Just bought your book Gareth! Very good book

Sounds like they're going legal! Unfortunate to the family however u can't put all the blame on the instructor.

It's important to talk about tragedies like this so we can all learn. Thanks

I honestly thought that it was common knowledge how dangerous rebreathers can be even in the best of times. The new instructor thought that they were all prior instructors on other levels of diving. My heart goes out to his family.

Too sad, the dive school were running the courses and getting paid for it. This young man, because the school was ineffective, died. Sad.

Don’t skydive or scubadive if you are married and have kids, it’s irresponsible and inconsiderate…their well-being should always be your primary concern. Do these things BEFORE you start a family. That is all.

He had problems with the instructors… Mmmm 🤔

I lived and worked on Grand Cayman for several years and got to experience some of the best diving in the world from my own backyard. (Highly recommended for experienced divers.)

My condolences to his family and friends.

Tasteful, respectful, and all these brave buds coming together to tell this story is just so helpful and useful. Especially for those who are just entering into the amazing world of Scuba diving.

My heart breaks for his wife, you see can the pain she’s holding onto. Rest in paradise Brian 🙏🏼

By sharing this tragedy, you may have already saved lives. Thank you for carefully presenting and explaining all of the complex factors that were involved. You provided excellent insight and education. I am so terribly sorry for your loss.
