The Sad Story of How Yuri Lipski Was Trapped at the Bottom of the Ocean
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Yuri Lipski was a russian scuba diver who decided to dive the Dahab Blue Hole in the year 2000. After incorrectly calculating his weight belt he sank to the bottom of the ocean and quickly began to suffer from nitrogen narcosis and oxygen toxicity which slowly poisoned him on the ocean floor.
Scuba diving is a dangerous past time when done incorrectly and as a Thalassophobia sufferer I don't recommend it, however if you arent plagued by thalassophobia and are determined then watch Yuri Lipskis story and be aware of the dangers of this risky past time. Enjoy your scuba diving, but enjoy it safely.

Most accidents could be prevented like this one - he made several mistakes... not testing his bc, not having a diving buddy, and not dropping his weight belt at first sign of problems and going back up. Dumb and Reckless gets you killed lots of the time.
Dude I've watched tons of these videos. You absolutely killed it by describing what's going on in the tanks, your body, and the breakdown of depth changes very very well for quick info on it. Awesome man love the video
Thanks if try to make the information accessible for everyone. Sometimes the technical stuff can leave people puzzled
I really appreciate you taking the time to show and tell us step by step of his dive. If you hadn't given such a thorough explanation I never would have figured out what was going on. This helped me so much. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
The fact that he dived on nitrox rather than tri-mix compounded his errors. Nitrox is a gas mix that increases the percentage of oxygen. As stated in the video, oxygen becomes toxic when used under pressure, and divers using nitrox will measure the exact percentage in their tank before diving, as it reduces the depth you can safely dive to, even compared to simple compressed air. If he was planning to dive below 30m, and it sounds like he was, nitrox was absolutely not the gas to be used in that scenario.
Rest in peace Yuri Lipski, 23 years ago today is when he died, please be careful diving😢
Your description of the 'Narcs' is the best I have ever read. It describes exactly my experience on air at 75m long ago & far away when I only seemed to get "Ugly narcs", constantly afraid of passing out
.6 divers died on this job, so they made rules limiting air to 45m for commercial use in South Africa.
I've been a commercial diving instructor, supervisor & medic for nearly 50 years,& will show your gas toxicity explanations to my international students. Well done,& thank-you.
A minor( in this case)factor which should be considered in deep diving is the loss of wet suit bouyancy as you go deeper.This should be covered in training
Thanks for the kind words. I tried my best to try and explain and visualise each of the mechanics of the incident. It felt like a good opportunity to sneak some education into a video.
This channel honestly deserves so many more subscribers and so many more views. Such high quality content with great insight
Thank you. That's very kind
It probably wasn’t painful. Nitrogen narcosis feels very good, you get incredibly euphoric and disinhibited, it is essentially the same feeling as nitrous oxide or laughing gas. He probably just got incredibly high, disorientated and lost consciousness. That’s a silver lining I suppose
Except that he was also having oxygen toxicity due to Nitrox and likely below the depth for that (Nitrox REDUCES your max depth compared to air)
I don't think 0its the same for everyone, laughing gas doesn't affect me at all, when I had gas and air while I was in labour with my son it hardly affected me, hopefully it was different for this guy though
Imagine dying a horrific death, leaving footage of said death behind and someone making a video of your death with the Capcom intro music.
I’ve heard this story before as well and as I remember he tried to get a guide or instructor to take him through the archway. However because of a schedule issue he could not be trained for the specific dive. As I recall the archway isn’t all that deep so trimix wasn’t necessary for the planned dive but some specific training for the dive site was. And he didn’t have time to take it and he just went ahead with the dive.
The closest I’ve ever come to a dive accident was me going deeper than planned and my regulator breathing wet (getting water in with every breath). The sound Yuri’s regulator was making (sort of squawking or choking sound as he breathed in) reminds me of my near accident. I think he was over breathing his regulator and was very scared. Dive within your training limits.
I cannot imagine the grief experienced by people who are close to him. Someone you have absolute trust in and believe in and love just disappears and you discover them dead and their death is something which could have been prevented rather easily. Also, beautiful direction and research as always :)
It doesn’t matter how much experience you have, when your doing things such as this and you get careless and make mistakes eventually it will cost you. You can only dodge the bullet so many times, if ever.
I’ve seen this footage for years circulating top 10 videos and such with no explanation besides a diver who couldn’t return to the surface.
Thank you for the explanation and the video! I really enjoyed it and I’m going to show my dad, as he’s a diver and him and I love watching these kinds of videos to know what not to do.
Thanks for the kind words. I always feel like it's not enough to tell the story, understanding it should be the goal.
What a tragic way to go. This is the first time I've seen your channel and I'm definitely subscribing. Excellent work and great video. 👍🏾
Thank you. Nice to see a new face, hope you'll check out the other videos too
i probably shouldn't have watched this, it almost gave me a panic attack (drowning is one of my biggest fears along with death in general). however, this video was really well made, so you earn my like regardless lmao
You wouldn't drown. Just blacking out.
@@Netbase2000 that's true, but it's still terrifying either way. (btw, your profile picture almost fooled me lmao)
congratulations you make me like too
I appreciate you sharing this story, by making my thalasaphonia worse (damn i can’t spell) it encourages me even more to avoid oceans at all costs.
I'm a thalassophobe as well so I totally get it.
I would never do this, I'm not a risk taker. However, I am a very thorough person. I triple check things at least when its important. I can't imagine how he thought he was prepared for this, is it arrogance?
Probably.
More so complacency. Nobody thinks it's going to happen to them, bad stuff only happens to Other People
so sad. thankyou for the real footage. it really makes a difference in our experience and understanding.
You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment. It's much appreciated
RESPECT THE OCEAN AND SEA
Agreed
My dive instructors always repeat in every classes. "Do not dive without your buddy." "Do not be overly confident." Because one small mistake can lead to your death.
You make such high quality videos, I've been hooked since the video you made about the Dutch girls vanishing in Panama.
I really appreciated the way you told their story and how you went beyond the surface level analysis you often get with true crime / mystery content creators.
I also very much appreciate the respect and lack of over-sensationalism. Every video I watch from you had the same qualities, including this one. So sad and absolutely terrifying.
Anyway - thank you for your channel, it's genuinely helped me through a really tough time. Appreciated, man.
Thanks for such kind words. I have the same goal with every video - to explore an interesting topic in an engaging way. These are all real people and real suffering so for me it's important not to sensationalise it because that does an injustice to their situation
This is so fascinating that I'm watching it on repeat . RIP Yuri .
i forgot which creator made a video on this situation some half decade or so ago, the thumbnail of this video is exactly the the memory that sticks with you, i havent forgotten about this since, just tragic.
Could you just imagine what it would be like sitting hundreds of feet down on the ocean floor helpless.. knowing you literally can’t get out of the situation your in. Knowing your going to die within the matter of minutes…. Jezz. RIP Yuri
Terrifying story, lessons to be learn. Amazing work, love your videos!
Thanks very much
This really is tragic. As an experienced and trained diver, Yuri should know that your BCD is the first thing you should check on entering the water. Second, that in the case of valve failure, you can orally inflate the BCD with the mouthpiece too. Not JUST through the direct feed. It's what it's there for. This needs to be practiced and trained for.
'The narcs' can affect all people differently and at different depths. Some don't suffer badly at all. How you deal with it is very much down to experience vs severity and definitely knowing what to expect. The effects can quickly ease off too, with depth, but not always. Knowing when to bail comes with the experience.
The tragedy is that, in open blue water, the effects can be more euphoric, until it's too late to realise, because everything is so beautiful to look at.
This accident has 'Incident Pit' written all over it. Gear checks not happening, too fast a descent and not adjusting buoyancy as you go. He should have realised at about 10m that something was wrong. Plenty of time to back out. Little mistakes at the surface can become huge problems as you descend and they will never get better if you ignore them.
I genuinely hope that any novice divers watching you video will take on board the importance of safety checks before entering the water AND once you are on the surface BEFORE descent.
PLEASE dive safely!!
Ex 'Old-School' B.S.A.C. Club Dive Instructor, UK
All certified divers know about nitrogen narcosis.
Also. That depths use more and more oxygen.
There is no valve to inflate the BCD. Its a button and you inflate it prior to entering the water. The camera weight shouldn't have caused the issue
I hope your video gets more views, your story-telling was engaging :)
Thank you. I just try to make engaging videos about interesting topics
this is so informative .
I don't plan on diving but the explanation regarding oxygen make so much sense .
Thanks for the explanation and this may serve as a guide for those who want to dive always check ur equipment make sure not to be over confident .
May yuri
rest in peace .
Thank you, I think the why is important
I feel like there should be one more type of diving. Rescue diving, they aren’t challenging themselves for a new best and they aren’t taking cool pictures with a buddy.
Thalassophobia shouldn’t be a phobia its just common sense 🤔
It wasn't just carelessness, it was arrogance. We should all check our confidence/arrogance; it might be the death of us.
Be safe, but how many have died for us to be were we are now? If they were afraid, did not risk, did not get out of bed and conquer theire fears. Much would be different. Stay strong!
I've seen / heard this story many many times... and always it's baffling to me how something avoidable can always happen and it always will.
Unpopular opinion, but i dont have too much sympathy for Yuri; he waa told multiple times by professionals not to go (and I think he was a diving instructor or something along the lines so he should have known better. )
I still sympathise because that's a horrible way to go but you're in that he contributed to his own fate
That feeling when you’ve gone beyond your limit in water then turn back to the surface yet you wonder how you made it just in time to take that breath you nearly died to grasp is a feeling only one can experience on their own.
Love your work. Some of the best and most thoughtful analysis. Incredibly thorough and well considered without being gratuitous or sensationalized. Another great deep dive (pun well intended) 🤩
Thanks very much, and a very well executed pub
Disclaimer: "Always seek for professional advise when diving...".
Yuri: a professional technical diver 🤔
According to some sources he was a diving instructor but it doesn't specify what type, he could just have been a freediving instructor
I feel extremely sad for him.
Thank you for sharing Yuri’s story. I had seen some footage of this incident before, but I never quite understood what it was and the true danger of what was really happening. I am so far a huge fan of your channel! I was always a huge fan of documentaries and this one is no different. I actually just came from your other video on Ouchi!
That being said, I don’t mean to sound picky or rude in any way, but as a hearing-impaired person, when the closed captioning option is turned on, many of the words overlap and it is difficult to read in some places. I was wondering if this is intentional or a UA-cam bug? I understand that you are a content creator and probably are very busy, but I just thought I would make you aware of this issue so that others like me could have a more enjoyable experience. Again, it was not my intention to be rude, I just meant to be informative. I understand if this problem can’t be fixed!
Please keep up the amazing content! I hope to see more videos like this in the future!
You're the second person I've heard mention this issue of CC overlap. I did look at it before but couldn't replicate the issue. I'll look into it further and see what I can do.
My apologies that happened I try to make sure everyone can watch the videos easily so this is an issue I take seriously.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Would you mind giving me some additional info? Which CC option did you select?
@@PeakedInterest No problem! I understand that it is oftentimes not the content creator’s fault, but rather, UA-cam’s.
To answer your question, I selected the English CC option, which is the only option that has the overlap issue it seems.
Thanks. I will look into it and see if I can figure out why it's happening
Yuri you are a LEGEND! God bless!
Now I understand why my instructor got mad at me for not checking my gear correctly, I thanked him for teaching me to remember the most important thing when diving is checking your gear PERSONALLY, don't even let anyone else check it but yourself, maybe you find the mouth piece breath uncomfortable or someone doesn't and it leaks
Pure nightmare fuel, my heart breaks for him. 😭
The first time I ever saw the font used in the chapter headings in this video was in Zelda (back in the 80s), “It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!”
I tried to use a variety of techniques to give it a dated found footage feel
Ive seen the full video he captured, and its quite scary, the reef in the hole seems close to fhe surface as it's very clear, but once at the reef the view up shows it's already quite far down, but then he just keeps going further down, falling and confused and refusing help from other divers who can see his struggles.
I like to dig for new (to me) creators and youtube has made it nearly impossible these days.
But finally - great stuff!
After watching this footage and watching Mr Ballens videos I will never go diving, cave exploring or sky diving . I'm terrified of dying in any of these situations.
You're not alone
Like slipping into a dream there is neither a hard cut nor a smooth transition of events. You find yourself underwater sinking to the depths with no ability to get up to the surface. The pressure of the sea is holding you down (except at this point you’re not even aware at which way is up or down). You’re not quite sure where you are, how you got there or why you’re there. You’re struggling to coordinate your movements, you’re moving slowly, you’re thinking slowly. it’s dark but whatever vision you had is also failing. there’s a pain in your chest and an overwhelming feeling of fear. Have you been here for 5 minutes or 5 hours? Through the haze of confusion and disorientation you’re fortunate enough to get the occasional flash of lucid thought! But it provides no assistance in getting yourself out of this situation. instead it just to lets you know that you’re going to die. Oh yeah 💡… that’s why you’re panicking.
Honestly this is insane to watch.
I’d like to give my little point of view about my scuba diving experience-
As someone who feels incredibly comfortable in the water, is a strong, extremely confident swimmer- I have snorkelled, jumped from the high decks of boats into the ocean, done open water canoeing and kayaking, surfing, you name it, I’m a natural mermaid lmao.
I was always extremely jealous of the fact my partner, who isn’t even confident in water, can barely swim- had been scuba diving and got his certification in the Philippines. Something I’d always dreamt of doing and was sure I’d love.
Fast forward to the middle of July this year, we were on vacation in Gran Canaria and he surprised me with the fact that he’d arranged for a try dive with a diving instructor. This is only to a depth of 12 meters but I was so excited!
We went out on a boat to a beautiful part of Puerto Rico, had our safety and instructions taught to us ect, then went in for our dive along with the two instructors.
Bruh when I tell you this was the SCARIEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE - BELIEVE ME.
I hated every second. The second I went under the water and realised I had to use my buoyancy device to ascend and descend, whilst also having to remember to only breathe through my regulator because my mask kept filling with water, having to clear it every few seconds- I panicked immediately due to the sensation of not being able to just naturally swim to the surface if I needed to. I tried and tried as much as I could but it was just totally and utterly terrifying. I don’t understand how people do it. My partner is having the time of his life, 10 metres below me and I could barely deal with being 2 meters down there. It was awful. I was so disappointed and upset that I hated it so much, something I thought I’d truly love and enjoy, I just could not get past my fear of having to use a device to ascend and descend and actually breathing underwater, whereas I was used to holding my breath and swimming freely. I ended up back on the boat, a crying mess, whilst my partner finished the rest of the dive.
Considering the fear I felt then, I cannot imagine what this guy went through. I don’t want to put anyone off scuba diving, but as someone who as I said, is extremely confident in water, it was just a different experience entirely, one that I don’t think I’d ever get used to or be able to do.
The problem is exactly that you went on a dive with no training. Just having someone there may keep you from dying, but since you did not know what you were doing, you were nervous. When I got my certification, it was part of a 6 or 7 day course. That gave us the skills at a pace that we felt extremely comfortable the entire time and fear was not a part of the first dive. What you experienced was just the way things should NOT be done and not surprising. I only dive occasionally now, but I do not go into an open water dive without spending time re-familiarizing myself with equipment and procedures and being able to clear mask first so that I am comfortable and not fearful when I go on a dive.
I love the narrator.
Thanks that's very kind
I like swimming, but I will never go diving. I prefer staying alive.
Great video and explanation of diving and equipment used.
Thank you. For me the why is just as important as what happened. When I first read the story my first question was - why did this happen? So that's what I tried to answer
dark, cold, unable to run for your life, unable to breathe, deep in water. so fucking terrifying
I laughed so hard when Eunice said the cop peed his pants.
I came very close to death by drowning when I was 2. I've had a lifelong fear of water that I can't see through. This video scared me so much I have had to take a couple breaks. But I'm going to get through it, your content is worth facing my fears!
Jesus Christ man I was looking to see if yuri was in mw 2 remastered and this popped up
That's a very strange Segway
this is very sad. may he rest in peace.
Excellent video as always. Literally one of the worst ways to go, very sad to see.
It's literally my worst fear.
@@PeakedInterest Definitely in my top 3 fears. Not just drowning, suffocating in general.
Same here. It's drowning top followed very closely by suffocating
The way i got a hawaii diving ad before this
that weird fish at 10:30 freaked me out more than i expected i think i have a fear of the deep ocean lol
sank over 300 feet in 3 minutes, thats insane..
I only realized afterwards but I had a good chill out going on from nitrogen narcosis at only 120'/35m. I was very calm and had no sense of urgency. Kind of scary.
While not nearly as dangerous, when I was younger, me and some cousins of mine made it to a resort somewhere in Zambales, Philippines. We were quite far from the shore, the water reaching up to the stomach of a 5'3 person.
We were enjoying the waves.. and then we got surprised by a large one.
Me and my cousins immediately braced for cover, but I lost my grip on them and fell with the wave. Dragged along the sand and occasional rock, once I felt I was going backwards I immediately got up and began running. Mind you, I got saltwater in my eyes in all this, meaning I couldn't open my eyes for a while. Eventually I did make it back, after getting helped by smaller waves, and got back to safety. One of my aunts got worried, cuz apparently I was under the waves for like 15-20 seconds. It only felt like 8.
Knowing one of my relatives was concerned when I didn't resurface quickly, concerns me as well, knowing I could've gone missing should I have waited a little longer
I cant imagine diving alone and not immediately checking that the buoyancy controller is working. What a terrible mistake
This video was in my suggested, clicked and as soon as I heard that intro I hit subscribe 👍🏾
UG. The four things I fear the most, in order of least to worst: Spiders, heights, caves, DEEP WATER!
Aside from spiders that's my list
As a fellow thalassophobian, I can imagine this was difficult was for you.
My fear goes much so deep I’m too old to overcome it now.
It was an accident. I wish he could have achieved his goal.
The breathing noises 🤦🏽♀️ I’m calling my therapist. JK
But my stomach was in knots in the whole times.
Thank you for handling this with respect, like always.
Yeah, nightmare video for people like us. More than a few cold sweats
@@PeakedInterest I mean this sincerely, you’re a braver person than me.
It took me a few times to watch it all the way.
Excellent job as always and an extra honor for subject matter!
Thank you. I appreciate that
I always respect large bodies of water! A blue hole is definitely something I wouldn't want to go next to!
The sound of his straggling breathing made me feel sick!
I guess we can say that he hit... Rock bottom🤷♂️😬
As someone with mild thalassaphobia, there is one positive to being as overweight as I am. Natural Positive buoyancy.
An impressively educational video…
Thank you that's very kind
You keep saying "ocean", but the Red Sea is a sea, not an ocean...
I was born a day after he died .. how crazy ..
I was born a few weeks after John List murdered his family up the street from me in 1971
i turned this video to 1080p but then i realized this footage was from 2000
Your channel popped up over/up here in scotland.
Subbed 👍
Wtf am I doing here at midnight in bed
What a way to go
I’m with you fuck the ocean one of my biggest fears idk what’s more scary to me the open ocean or tight caves idk how people do either one then there the people who go in caves underwater fuck that.
Why wouldn’t you stay close to side of the whole? You could at least try to push yourself up if you can grab the wall around the Hole!
I have no interest in being outside a pressurized vehicle in the air or large bodies of water. It’s so easy to accidentally die in the suburbs let alone these activities. Horrific.
So that noise we heard was of Yuri suffocating? 😮 what a horrible way to die .. no escape .. no salvation what so ever .. completely terrifying!!
great editing and narration, keep it up
Good thing i have a phobia swimming out the beach . If not then my curiosity would burst out wondering what's under there. Since i am easily being fascinated by things i see and curious
The guy who actually recovered his body was featured on this video, his name is Tariq Omar a technical dive instructor who had offered Yuri the training to complete this dive in safety, Yuri turned him down as he only had a few days left of his vacation ,and the training would have taken longer.
Tariq Omar is known locally as the "bone collector" due to the amount of body recoveries he has made at this dive site.
Nasty work, but a respectable one.
Dreamjob 🤩🤩🤩
Yeah he was involved in nearly all body recoveries that happened there whilst he was alive and diving there
The real life Death
Poor Tariq. I hope he's doing okay
2:43 Almost died at Dean's blue hole in the Bahamas when I was 19.
As a teenager, at beaches I had this habbit of swimming out far, then down deep. The deepest I'd ever dove prior to D.B.H. was about 35-40 feet.
At DBH, I learned a VERY hard, scary lesson. And that lesson is, once you reach a certain depth, you no longer naturally float upward toward the surface. I dove about 40 -50 feet at DBH, and stopped swimming down so I could turn around and start making my way back up. But instead of that immediate neutral buoyant feeling I would normally get when stopping, I could feel myself falling even deeper and faster. I tried to start swimming back up and could feel that I was STILL sinking!!!
I did the worst thing you could do in a moment like that; I began to panic.
Swimming harder than I'd ever swam in my life to battle the downward pull, I finally stopped sinking, only to look up and see about 70 feet to the surface. I started to panic even more. Again, swimming and kicking my feet so hard, I gave myself a Charlie horse in both left and right calves. But with my life now in the balance, I just kept kicking and swimming.
I started to black out about 20 feet from the surface, and I was so weak, but thankfully, i started to float upward naturally accompanied with my frantic upward swimming.
Till this day, idk how I made it that last 20 feet. I had to pinch my own mouth and nose shut with one hand because my throat started trying to suck in air through my mouth without my concent.
Just typing this from the memory, my heart is pounding so hard right now.
I've had a handful of close calls in my time alive, but that was the closest.
My heart was racing reading this. It's quite literally my worst fear. It terrifies me so much I don't go near the ocean
If no one else has said this to you, I’m glad you made it. I almost drowned as a child, and am glad to be alive.
That’s terrifying just to read
@@siontifictm7366 Wow, thanks guys. When I was proof reading it, I thought I did a shit job of writing it and almost deleted it. Glad it produced some of the feelings I had that day.
Take care!
@@TheTechAdmin You probably never got this often but you’ll get it now.
I’m glad you’re alive and still here talking to us about it. Most people would close up about stuff like this, and only mention “I nearly died, don’t do it.” Because of trauma
Again, glad you are alive and told us this story. Live, because some greater force gave you the chance.
I can say that I WILL NEVER die in a diving accident , because I WILL NEVER go diving.
Same here!😳👌🏾 I got nauseous just watching this.
@@kccain4011 Me too! Can't understand the fascination with this sport.
Me too. Never. I have asthma so it's not even a consideration. But even if I had awesome lungs I wouldn't.
Hear-Hear!
You’re such a coward lol
As I understand it, a fourth major issue was that he wasn't adequately trained for this type of dive. He was not qualified for the dive he was taking. Days prior to the dive, he visited several local specialized instructors asking if they would accompany him, but every single one refused. They refused to take him unless he pursued adequate training/certification first, which would take weeks to earn. These instructors, very competent divers, cautioned him not to do the dive because he wasn't trained for it, but Yuri was impatient and went himself anyway against their advice. He also went diving alone, which was another issue, since it's strongly recommended to always dive with a buddy. This is true even for the best divers in the world. Yuri made a series of poor choices and that's what got him killed. We all make poor choices, everyone single one of us, every single day, and most of the time we somehow manage to end up okay. But in this instance, these poor choices cost Yuri his life.
Yuri got exactly what he deserved.
You’re right. Several highly competent diving instructors refused to take him unless he got adequate certification and cautioned him against doing the dive alone.
He said that
wise words indeed
@@XGRIMYONEX he said all of that lol
As a diver, I watch videos like this regularly to learn what NOT to do.
It's part of the reason for making the video. There was something to learn from it
b safe out there
we call divers like you 'smart'.
This taught me not too go in water
as a human I watch these regularly to learn not to ever go diving in the first place LMAO. I get stuff like base jumping cuz you get a thrilling view. diving you just get to see barnicles on a fking rock. Like bro that isnt even pretty 95% of the time. i will never understand. Literally everything beutiful like turtles and stuff can be seen while snorkling. Theres nothing to see in the pitch black of a deep dive or an underwater cave
I’d seen this footage before but didn’t quite understand what was happening; he seemed to sink and pass out _so_ fast that I was confused. Thank you for this thorough yet terrifying explanation. Really put it into perspective for me. Poor Yuri...
When I see things like this I like to understand what happens myself so I try to incorporate that information into the video. I'm always worried I don't make the explanation accessible enough so thanks for sharing your feedback
Love how you didn't do any research on your own after being left confused the first time you watched the video, but instead waited to have the information served on a silver platter... Grade A imbecile
@@PeakedInterest Yeah, it was very easy to understand! The infographics helped a lot. I’m really into snorkeling and shallow free diving, but haven’t done much scuba diving (purely because it’s crazy expensive), so I never really had to think much about the different gas blends they use.
Just remember if you try it to pay attention to the instructor.
@@PeakedInterest thats not enough. Make sure you find the RIGHT instructor. There's been hundreds of cases of dive instructors who are terrible. You have to watch out for yourself. Do prior research and make a plan and stick to it.
Hallucinations in the open deep water sounds like the worst thing ever. Imagine what you would see or hear.
me: **currently imagining a random shark going like MOOOOoooooo and then disappearing** why cant i think of anything else
probably see people or demons or some shit and freak out
@@alexjones2677 ok thanks for the advice **thonks harder**
Probably see some Sea Bears
@@RB725GamingHD I was thinking huge weird creatures and strange music
I have seen videos on this accident before. But I have never seen it broken down so that a non-diver like me can understand why it was so dangerous. I knew that going deep was as serious as going to the moon, but had no idea why exactly and why they needed to breath ti-mix. Thank you for explaining that in the video. Congrats on the 100K! you deserve it!
It's a question that I had to learn myself because I didn't know exactly why he died and after spending a week learning about pressure on inert gases in the human body I thought other might also like to know so I included it. Glad it helped you understand better too.
Appreciate the kind words
Speaking of going to the moon, did you know moon dust is like tiny shards of glass ? Something related to the lack of an atmosphere like earth has causes erosion of the rocks to become super sharp
what a grisly way to go out.
But at the same time the quote "overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer" comes to mind
Not to be morbid, but that quote also reminds me of, "In time, you will come to know the tragic depth of my failures," which also sounds apt here.
Just trust the science ok

Nitrogen Narcosis is one of the best ways to die - you get happy, drunk, sleepy, pass out and die. Look at the NASA's high altitude chamber videos when they take their face masks off, play games, etc - same thing - lack of oxygen - goodnight.
Here it's wasn't about over confidence...it's more like he can manage it normally -feeling
Wow I didn”t know that water pressure could keep you from swimming back upward. I always thought water alway moved around mass and would always bring you back up easily because of that. It makes sense I just never thought about that part. Wow, nature sure can be scary.
It's common sense, but it is something most people never think about, including myself
Me either, it does make a lot of sense. The ocean has always been the most interesting place to me also the scariest. So many unanswered questions and non-discovered parts. Really feel bad for this guy though. Won’t say he’s an idiot cause sometimes our ego & curiosity gets the best of us and we all are human but I really wish he just did the proper procedures and double checked all his equipment. Drowning has to be the most excruciating death to experience. I almost drowned in the Cayman Islands from the rope of the beach wrapping around my neck and the current along with big waves and I can only imagine being under water and dealing with current trying to make my way up.. Scary as shit.
At a certain depth water can become solid like concrete and you can't move through it at all
Right I thought the same! Omg so scary
Youre a woman, there's no need to be redundant by explaining why you were wrong
I have been laughed at by several Russian divers for being "Overly Cautious." All of them are dead now, and I'm still here. I guess you could say I survived just to have the last laugh.
I never understood why people with a healthy sense of self preservation were laughed at.
@@dylancross1039 Me neither.
@@dylancross1039 because it is bieng a pussy and un mannlyness
You are a liar
He who laughs last, laughs loudest
I appreciate you calling Yuri’s decisions as what they were mistakes. I feel like a lot of these stories blame the person but they were just mistakes/misjudgments with deadly consequences.
I think people are too quick to say stupid etc. They're mistakes born out of a little over confidence maybe but mistakes none the less
Call it what it is irresponsible and stupid unfortunately cost him his life rip yuri
@@PeakedInterest I wouldn't call him stupid. He certainly had over confidence (major character flaw) and it cost him. Sometimes we make mistakes, but sometimes......we are begging to be taught a lesson and that lesson may be too late.
He was advised TWICE not to go diving there by professional diving instructors because he wasn't experienced and skilled enough. That's different than making some mistakes.
@@clairerideau9015 mistakes born of overconfidence
UA-cam tellings of this diving tragedy are a dime a dozen, and in terms of actual quality, they are all not created equally. I very much like the channel Dive Talk’s reaction/reviews because they’re knowledgeable, cave certified divers. That said, your presentation here is excellent, very well balanced, well informed, respectful, & even compassionate towards this young man, who had so much potential, only to die way too young… thank you again for this stellar content! I look forward to your next upload every time!
That's extremely complimentary thank you. I always try to keep in mind that these topics are real people and deserve to remembered as such.
Agreed. I think Dive Talk did a great job covering this too.
@@PeakedInterest damm, nicest comment I've seen from a creator in a good long while.
Have you done a video on the North sea deep sea diver who's tether broke in a storm, and he was left alone, with a dwindling heat and air supply, right on the sea bed.... they made a documovie using some real footage from the rescue, yea he bloody well survived and his mates launched the rulebook right out the window and got him. Even when you *know* the ending you're still on the edge of your seat watching it
And y'know it would make a change to have a video where you can actually interview the subject of it, he seems quite responsive to press if he's not working at the time
@Dolphin Hates Hats don't suppose you know his name?
@@PeakedInterest his name was Chris Lemons, and the docufilm was called The Last Breath :)
i know this was yuri's own fault, but i can't help feeling absolutely heartbroken for him. those panicked sounds on his camera made me wanna cry. safety is important, it should always come first, whether you're diving or going for a drive -- the feeling of missing out on an experience is temporary, your life is precious so take care of yourself first
He may have made a bad decision, but he didn't deserve death. Sure it was coming, but didn't deserve it. People don't understand how big death is.
@@Vitalydisof course he wouldn’t deserve it. But why do we have to pity on a reckless death? He was well aware of the dangers of his reckless decision. Literally it is “we told you so”, divers more instructed than him told him not to do it. There you have it, the loss not only of his own life but a burden on his family and loved ones that will have to deal with the pain of loosing him because of that
@@Ernestina-pasares Thing is, i never said anything on the lines of that you have to feel bad or pity him. I feel bad because it wasn't deserved, and some other may not feel bad and think the same thing. You didn't take my words the way I meant for them to be. hat says what it needs to. My whole comment was on how people were hella disrespectful and have huge mouths.
@@Vitalydis sure dude, I did get your idea tho and I’m sorry if it got confused. I just wanted to explain a little bit about the possible reason for people being senselessly talking about this guys death
@@Ernestina-pasares understandable. It did get confusing, but it being explained makes it much better.
Extremely sad and heartbreaking. There was a bunch of bad decisions he made, and the biggest one was, he ignored expert diver advice and went diving by himself, without the proper training, and without a diving buddy. A big no no. Even the most expert divers always have a buddy with them, and they always make sure they get the proper training and instructions for a dive. RIP❤️🙏
I used to free dive (breath-hold dive) a few years ago, and I'm definitely not afraid of water, but this video was terrifying, even for me.
I honestly don't know which type of diving scares me more
Not everyone is scared of water, but anyone would fear a fate like that of Yuri’s
@@PeakedInterest as a former lifeguard, free diving is much less terrifying. if you are smart and don't go past your limits, you will instinctively swim back up before you run out of air. also less risk of getting divers lung (forgot the common name for it i think it's called the fizz or something?) because you don't go deep enough. diving with equipment is too scary to me, especially when going deep. honestly i would much rather dive in shallow water around coral reefs with just goggles, staying around the surface.
@saint nicole for me personally I don't like to go anywhere near the ocean. I have thalassophobia
@Vc Ar Honestly just repeated exercises, such as swimming as far as you can while holding your breath, or just walking on land while holding your breath. I'm no expert, so I can't say which types of exercise are better, but my answer would be frequent, consistent exercise.
