I came across this on YouTube and I tell you I can't be more upset with companies that take inexperienced divers out and just give them "free reign" over the dive site.
The diver who filmed this saved the lives of two divers...one who was only 12 years old and at 140'+!!!
These two in this video would have either panicked and drowned OR did an emergency assent from 140'+ rupturing their lungs and/or causing bends/death.
Reasons like this are why I want to obtain every level of certification I can to better myself to keep myself safe (#1 priority) and others safe (#2 Priority) of the dive.
