Watch this video of the Blue Hole of Dahab before it is deleted

That dangling tank on the second diver is also painful to watch

It seems like a lot of criticism is directed toward the man who is presumably the student. I think 98% of any negative comments should be directed toward the professional dive instructor (presumably) who allowed this to take place. He felt compelled to provide physical touch and assistance at the surface before the dive and continued throughout.

Are we blaming the student who is seeking technical training or the person delivering it? Exactly how the gear is configured would be way down on my list of concerns with this video.

There is not a single agency that teaches stage/deco tanks clipping in this way.

And yet, here we are.

The webbing looks like the tail of an adjustable harness shoulder strap. Is the tank clipped to the dring commonly found at the end of the strap?

I am curious about the reference to Tarek Omar. He is reputedly known as the bone collector. As the person to call after the fact, he had been referenced to have collected 20 bodies from below the arch including two at the same time. On another video he is recorded to the effect of don’t do it if you don’t know what you are doing.

We are going to do the Blue hole of dahab arch in June.

but there has to be something why they are doing that.

They're strokes......

I have a mate who runs a dive centre out there. He gets these mad Russians with 5-6 dives coming in all the time asking to be taken to 100+ meters.

They're strokes......

That's an understatement. And I don't use stroke lightly.

And does he take them?

And does he take them?

Hell no
