  • Diver Jeanna Edgerton and her husband Brian Wiederspan describe in detail one of the most intense scenes of the series. After surfacing in a dome with “bad air”, Jeanna struggles to stay afloat and is deprived of oxygen. Brian and the rest of the team quickly mobilize to come to her aid during a very tense, touch-and-go moment.

    I watched the whole series and this is really, really frightening to see.. I did not know Jeanna had 25 years of diving experience and 9 years experience with caves.. Those figures are what make this clip so scary in my opinion. Even the best trained divers can turn into a helpless mess when panic takes over the brain.. Really glad the all made it out safe!

    All this comments and only the 0.1% got what really happened here? The girl did a single big (big considering what happened after..) mistake: she took off her regulator when emerged (probably lead due to the stress of her wing was getting flooded) in a non breathable chamber, what happened after was a consequence of it: inability to think, no lucidity, panic.
    When you do cave you know that those rooms can be full of non breathable gases that may knock you out in a matter of seconds, so you never take your regulator off (you should never do really) unless you're 100% certain of how the chamber is connected to the surface and that there's always good air; she broken the protocol probably due to the fact that was hard breathing due to the heavy finning (since the bc malfunction) and who does scuba diving knows that while in surface (due to the even pressure on the membrane) is much more easily to breath without a regulator and it's normal to do so in open water.. but not in a cave, that "little" oversight would have turned into a tragic event.
    So stop to talk about panic, refuse to take regulator, and whatever... her mistake was "only" to take off the reg from her mouth, the rest was a consequence of her brain not receiving enough oxygen.

      I agree with this 100%, but i think her issue was that her dry suit inflation tube became disconnected and the oxygen membrane in the middle began filling with water. I dont know about you, but that is the last scenario I would have thought about having to deal with while cave diving. That extra buoyancy from the dry suit really makes a difference, especially when youre pretty much a rock without it.

      @@davidwile1277 exactly what the other person said. In an instant, this could have turned into a terrible experience. When divers panic, they begin ditching gear, fighting people, taking gear off their dive buddies to get more air, etc. If they don't have air in their BCD (the vest they wear) or their dry suit to keep them buoyant, they are extremely heavy and the divers sink. If they are underwater while panicking and are removing their life support gear while underwater...and fighting at other people...yeah. This is a terrible day waiting to happen. Luckily, she calmed herself down and stopped herself from getting to that point.
      Note how she said "Take this gear off!" and started to take it off, but then stopped herself. Frikkin a, what a babe. Then when she kept taking the regulator out of her mouth (signs of panic are gear removal), she kept forcing herself to put it back in. What a babe.
      As a dive buddy, yes, this is extremely terrifying to see because you know where it can lead. You are not in a safe environment in scuba and these little things can turn into fatal incidents.
      Diving is awesome, it's incredible, it's beautiful. But it comes with risks, and these things can escalade quickly.

  • @akbt2
    @akbt2 3 роки тому +151

    For non-divers who don't know what's going on & divers who are criticizing her (not critiquing, criticizing): 🤗💖
    I can explain! For beginners 1st, divers at the end. 💖🙏
    1 - The Gear
    On your Buoyancy Comepensator Device, or BCD (the vest strapped to you) there's a hose that is connected to your air tank. It's called an inflator hose because you use it to add air to your BCD to help you float and remain neutrally buoyant so you don't bob up and down. The dry suit she was wearing is different than a wetsuit. Both are designed to keep you warm while underwater. A wetsuit is that skin tight stuff you normally see. Surfers wear them all the time, too. A dry suit is a loose overhanging suit that looks like what astronauts wear. You can even wear normal clothes underneath them! The science is you fill it with air and it keeps you much, much warmer and is intended for very cold water.
    You have to let air out or in of both your BC and dry suit as you change your depth. When you're below the surface, the pressure of the water will keep you down. When you're at the surface, you need more air because you are less buoyant. Because your gear is heavy, without air in your BC and drysuit, you begin to sink.
    2 - The Panic
    What happened was, as she was ascending and adding air to her bc/dry suit to keep her afloat, that inflator hose broke off. Panic set in.
    When you panic, the very first thing that happens is you begin to ditch all your gear...you know, the ones that are actually keeping you alive. It's a response that happens because your brain thinks it can't breathe (when it can) and thinks that is what is keeping you from breathing, so people start ditching their gear. She took her regulator out of her mouth (that round thing she's breathing out of), which, on a normal surface would've been safe-ish cuz all you'd have to worry about is swallowing water (which could add to more panic and more problems, but at least you could breath alright), but this cave had poor air quality, so she could have passed out immediately by not breathing the air from her tank. Now you've got an unconcious diver with bad gear. Luckily, she didn't pass out, but the lack of quality air in the cave made it even harder for her brain to think straight and so the panic continued as well. So, she had panic going on from the gear, plus when she got to the surface and removed her regulator, she was then facing the toxic air around her.
    Luckily, she was trained well and began to take many steps to keep it from escelating into a terrible scene. She called out for help, caught herself from actually ditching her gear and didn't, kept putting the reg back in her mouth even after she kept throwing it away, and managed to stay pretty level throughout it all. And her team was right there immediately to walk her thru all the steps and calm her down. ALL THAT happened because of training. Because the emergency response was rooted into all of them. At any moment, in an instant, this could have gone terribly worse. Not only do panicked divers start removing their own gear, but they also become violent and start stealing gear from their dive buddies because they realize they can't breathe and need support. This panic can happen to anyone with any kind of dive experience and for any reason. Even a little fish swimming by can trigger panic in a 30 year long diver. There's a lot to go wrong and this in an instant could have become fatal. However, they all stopped that from happening and it's really amazing to see. Makes me so grateful for training. 🙏
    * *For all yall divers at there* ... * yall know what panic is like. You can't think straight. Yall know it ain't fully her fault, give her some grace. But look at the beautiful emergency response they ALL performed, including herself. She yelled "Take this gear off!" but stopped herself. She threw the reg out, but then put it back in. She listened to the others. Most notably, she immediately called out for help and alerted everyone else about what was going on. She knew what emergency was happening and bc of the training rooted in her, saved herself along with her team helping in that. That is something to be darn proud of. For all of them. This is an accepting community, it's troubling to see such harsh comments. Yes, we see these videos and use them to better ourselves, but we should not berate and degrade our fellow divers.
    We are all at the mercy of the elements, no matter how experienced. You are not her, you were not the one panicking, you were not the one who believed their life was on the line. And, guess what? When you're diving, at every moment, your life IS on the line. Why have many forgotten this in your comments? I hope to see more accepting and uplifting comments in the future. Can we be more understanding of each other, please? 🤗💖 Oss. 👌🙏

    I had a panic attack when learning to dive, the surface is always the worst place. Now I always put my head underwater if I am slightly out of breath or over exerted on the surface, the extra pressure on the regulator increases air flow and helps you begin to breathe normally again, you’re no longer stressed about keeping water out of your mouth from waves again etc.

Think of the panic attack you experienced coupled with zero visibility above water, zero below water (silt), loss of direction, and ear-piercing echos. It's a whole different ballgame compared to open sea diving. Not to mention rescue is alot easier in case of a mistake while open sea diving versus cave diving.

    So... when you surface in middle of cave dive like that, you don't need to decompress? I thought you always have to decomp? Can someone please answer? thank you.

    • @Drdeepmanta
      @Drdeepmanta 7 років тому +1

      SephCat74, it depends at the depth you were at prior to surfacing. However, in when surfacing in a cave you better do the safety stop for 3 min at 15'.

      To answer your question, for the past few years, most open water and cave divers utilize a wrist mounted diving computer that calculates several things including decompression stops and times. I am very familiar with the region that this incident occurred and have helped to map several of the underwater caves in the Tulum, Mexico area. The geology of this region is unique and has produced some of the most incredible cave systems and structures in the world. The general structure of the underwater cave systems in the Yucatan provide all the challenges of cave diving without the dangers of extreme depth associated with underwater cave systems found in other parts of the world. There are several cave systems in the Yucatan that allow a diver to travel 1.5km into the system and never exceed 19 meters in depth. At any time during a dive as described a diver could surface without any need for decompression. I hope this helps with your question. If you ever have a chance to visit the region I would highly recommend you check it out for yourself. I would recommend this site. cenotes.com/Dive-Sites.php

      Example:
      300ft dive means 24 hours per 100ft + an extra day; total of 4 days decompression.
      All other forms of decompressions are simply to entertain men with vaginas instead of testicles...

      The choking was a duality of attempting to breathe while in a toxic cavern & also the 1st symptom of panic...so while breathing on the regulator her mind felt as if she weren’t able to catch her breath /choking. Scary situation, I’m so grateful they were able to help her center her mind which allowed panic to quickly subside as logic kicked back in! It takes a special person to cave dive, not many woman partake in it because we are more susceptible to emotional ruin such as panic/fear...If I were to dive a cave or even off a deep wall I’d not only place myself in danger but more importantly my dive buddy, I only wish more ppl thought of their partner before partaking in high risk dives (I’m definitely not talking about this woman in the video, she’s an ace🤲🏽).

    As a teacher and a climber I find the term 'experienced' such a misleading description. It should be 'skilled'. Experienced just simply means that you have been through the motions. Now if you've only gone through non-threatening motions that's all you are skilled at. So one can have years, even decades, of experience, but not be skilled in life-threatening situations. Just like what seems to have happened here (I don't know what her full background is, as I've only watched this video). You learn and practice intellectually what to do, but unless you put yourself in an actual moment (simulated or otherwise), your body will have had no experience to reference... I have years of climbing experience, but by no means would I call myself a skilled climber.

      That's a good question... in an attempt to answer your question, I will offer the following thoughts;
      1) I have been diving for 43 years and have never heard of a BCD inflator valve malfunction. Just saying, few people would plan on having to repair an inflator valve above surface, let alone, under the water.
      2) to answer your question in two words, You Don't
      3) It really comes down to what actually failed (low pressure hose connection, valve detachment from fill hose, internal catastrophic failure, etc.)
      4) While many divers are trained to carry backup equipment & tools only a handful actually practice what they preach. Cave diving safety requires the implementation of as many redundancies as feasible. (tank regulators, mask, fin straps, etc).
      5) It doesn't matter how much stuff you have in your bag if you haven't taken the time to train, train, train.
      6) I don't know any of the divers in this video but I would bet, if they had the equipment & tools to repair a BCD inflator valve, they lacked the experience.
      All this said, she experienced a major equipment malfunction while cave diving and survived.

    • @PH_INFO_101
      @PH_INFO_101 2 роки тому

      Divers wear a Buoyancy Compensation Device, BCD. The BCD requires constant adjustment, adding air / releasing air, to control your buoyancy, especially when cave diving. When you want to surface and keep your head above water, it requires filling your BCD significantly. While a BCD valve malfunction in open water is a minor to medium issue, it is a major issue in a cave. It doesn't matter how much you kick your fins, it is close to impossible to stay on the surface without a functioning BCD.
      When you consider her BCD valve broke just as she was attempting to surface and probably didn't realize the extent of the problem, then taking a few breaths of Skunky air... well, the video shows what happens.
      In my opinion, her first mistake was to remove her regulator and stop breathing from her tank. It is "Cave Diver 101" to refrain breathing the air of an "air pocket" unless absolutely necessary being extremely cautious to test air quality. Decaying vegetation & bat dung can easily produce poisonous air.
      If she would have made the decision to stay submerged and drop to the bottom to assess the issue with her BCD she may have avoided going into "Panic" mode.
      All that said, she experienced a major equipment malfunction while cave diving and survived.
      I hope I helped answer your questions

      @PH_INFO_101 2 роки тому

      @@joesr31 Another factor I should have shared is that your buoyancy in salt water is 3% more than fresh water. When SCUBA diving in saltwater it generally requires wearing 10-15lbs more lead weight than you would in freshwater. The underwater caves in the Yucatan, Mexico are freshwater on top of saltwater. The area where freshwater & saltwater meet & mix is called "halocline". The depth you encounter halocline is directly related to your "feet above sea level". The objective when navigating an underwater cave is to maintain neutral buoyancy to avoid stirring up silt or scraping the ceiling, requiring constant adjustment of your BCD depending on your depth & which water you are in.
      If you have time, I highly recommend watching the video on UA-cam titled "Dive into the Halocline by Steve Martin" it will blow your mind

    Its a natural reaction to take a deep inhale when breaching from water into a waterless atmosphere. Even if you may have the knowledge, but not yet the experience, that this water free environment may not have a single breath of oxygen and may actually contain gases that could be harmful to you. I am confused as to why she attempted to inflate her vest, but I can understand how the overall event took her breath away. Thank goodness there were others to firmly reattach her life giving oxygen to her. A good lesson that sometimes we must yield to those we trusted, because left to our own judgement (as she kept spitting her regulator out) we may very well choose a path of peril. I am so glad to be able to experience all that you folks sacrificed for. It was absolutely incredible on screen and must have been overwhelming in person.

Here and on the neighbor state of Yucatan you can find thousands of sinkholes (Cenotes). For cave divers, is the paradise. On some of them, the locals said, the water inside has no force on it (just in certain hours of the day), which means that you can´t float on it and you can´t establish positive buoyancy. Sounds crazy, I dove in 7 or 8 sinkholes and everything is normal, however they assure to me that some good friends of them (good swimmers by the way), drowned in these sink holes due the lack of force on the water. For them is live an evil force. When I saw this video looks like she was unable to float and comes to my memory what the locals said.
