![]() ![]() ![]() The blood creeps up the middle of the frame, independent of the water around it. Near the end of the video, there seems to be blood on the lens of the camera. You can also see shreds of his suit floating around. For example, pieces of plastic from his diving equipment. You can see debris floating around that Yuri clearly could not have generated. There are a few points to support this being true: Most people I show this to don't seem to see anything at all. Here's a link to the exact timestamp that you can clearly see an eel come into the frame and start eating him. When it gets to 6:45, stare at the upper left corner of the screen. Watch the video starting from around 6 minutes in. The video is inherently dark, so it's difficult to see. This is important, because the human visual system processes images differently depending on the ambient lighting of your area. But, if he was in fact eaten by an eel, it seems unfair that no one knows about it.) (He was probably dead either way due to the fact that the air becomes poisonous at that depth unless specially pressurized. ![]() ![]() But it's pretty clear his buoyancy compensator failed, and then he had the misfortune of pissing off an eel. The official explanation is that he dove to the bottom for fun and then died. I don't think anyone else is aware of this. If you watch this video and pause at 6:45, you can see an eel eating him. It's a bit crazy, but it seems to be true. I personally prefer to dive and swim around fishes, and not to risk my life in a dark desolated volcanic hole just to record my deepest dive on my computer.I'm not sure where to post this. much more like jumping with a motorcycle from a broken bridge just to prove yourself you made it! This is not scuba diving or sport, it's just falling down. Unfortunatley Lipski made such experience in Dahab's Blue Hole by dying like this in just 3 minutes, and his last seconds of life reveal how he was already intoxicated and phisically gone (by convulsions), reacting someway to gain control of his legs against the rocks: too little, too late.Īt his point there was nothing to do for him: he already ignored the fact he chose to go deep underwater with only 1 tank, he submerged totally alone, he went down deeper without trimix tanks, he went down fast without checking his full body response (thinking and moving hands is not enough to prove it). Yuri Lipski taped every last moment of narcosis effects and this is perhaps the best lesson he gave us. No one can predict its effect on our body, except God. The stupid theory of a shark attack in this case show us how many divers doesn't know the "real existence" of N narcosis in deep diving. I'd be curious to know what an autopsy determined.Įxactly: overconfidence kill more often than sharks! Generally, most diving fatalities seem to involve multiple failures or problems. Whether it was narcosis or an underlying medical problem or any number of other possibilities may never be known. I'm not sure if you can get narc'd that fast or not but he seemed to be out of it. Something to do with the changing pressures in your lungs and the way gas is delivered to the blood stream. I have heard in the past that a high rate of descent can make it worse although I'm no expert on this. It affects everyone differently and the onset, if that is the case here, would seem to be rather fast in this instance. One thing that does stand out is his rate of descent - 30 metres per minute? Surely he could have dropped his weights and inflated his BC.ĭoes nitrogen narcossis kick in that fast, Mike? When he lost his regulator, he was on his own. Peter (padi56) used to teach diving in the region - perhaps he can shed some light on this.įrom the video, the diver committed one fatal error: never, EVER go anywhere without your buddy. ![]()
