Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)
No that fella went way deep, there are many down there, Hatul that was my observation with single tank and the amount of weight on belt, also they do deep air bounce there everyday. I'm just adding the this to the deep air for a review of what can happen when not experienced and go to deep on air, you must be careful as rapture of the deep is waiting for you and you must ascend slowly Immediately when it hits.
It's the Blue Hole of Dahab in Egypt, where there is a deep underwater tunnel and lots of tourists esp Russians, who are untrained and unequipped to go that deep, die.
Quite a few of the fatalities were instructors/DMs....many of the DCI incidents also. Little technical knowledge, plus lots of over-confidence is a bad combo. "Doing the arch" at 60m being some sort of 'status symbol'. Without proper planning and preparation it catches divers out in a big way. Many think that the arch is some achievable by 'bounce dive' buts its a longer swim-through than most anticipate. They rack up more deco than they have gas to complete and/or run out of air on the way. That is, of course, if they don't just spiral down to the bottom in a narcosis induced death haze....
