Freedive Spearfishing Black Out- Ben Choi
Просмотров 414 тыс.8 лет назад
On Sunday October 12, I blacked out while freedive spearfishing. I was coming up from a 71ft dive during which I had shot a mangrove snapper. My dive time was 1:12. I had done a surface interval of 4 minutes before this dive. We had been diving that depth (~65’) most of the day chasing those mangrove snapper. Everything about the dive felt comfortable to me. I didn’t feel any more fatigued than...

Anthony Slocombe- Wahoo spearfishing

I had the opportunity to meet Anthony when I lived in Grenada. It became very apparent that he loved diving and spearing just as much as I did. He was able to dive very deep with very minimal gear. This was one of the best memories that I had with him and I know he was extremely proud of this fish. It saddens me to lose him at such a young age. RIP Anthony. Save some fish in heaven for us!

Spearfishing Gag Grouper on a wreck- Raw Footage
Просмотров 8499 лет назад
Shooting gag grouper off a wreck in 70ft on the west coast of Florida. Shot this guy right next to a big goliath, he rocked up, I worked to get him out and finally did, but was out of breath and had to give him some slack so I could get back to the surface. That little bit of slack I gave him allowed him to get back in the wreck and break off my shooting line. He was a big gag, probably 20-25lb...

wow crazy to see, it can even happen on a short dive. What do you guys think contributed to this black out? It kinda sounded like the last few breaths before he went down were hyperventilation breaths. I've heard this can make it easier to become hypoxic. Also once he shot the fish it seemed like he might have been overexerting himself to get to the top. I'm super beginner freediver and have never even gotten close to black out that I know of so it goes without saying my comment is not meant to be critical of the diver and comes from a place of humbleness. Just wanting to learn what to do to prevent this for me and my friends. Interested to hear what others think caused it. BTW great work on his dive buddies part for being so quick to lend assistance, bravo!
Thanks for sharing and for the written summary. Glad you had a buddy there to save you!
😨😱😱😱😱
Yea my respect for his friend he was going fast is a dolphin
you were hyperventilating before the dive and that what caused the black our. Hyperventilation increases your blood Ph which subsequently increases how tight hemoglobin holds oxygen. You felt fine because your CO2 was low. I think there are two lessons from this video: 1) never dive alone 2) never hyperventilate.
Red flag went up before he even made the drop , hyperventilating before his dive , huge mistake . Great video that will teach people to get certified and educated , dive safe ! 👌👌
Thanks for posting Ben. You’ve got a good friend there that didn’t care his day was done only about keeping you safe
So he said he had a mouth full of air while conscious, was he experiencing a laryngospasm?
That's crazy bro good catch
loved this video. good to post educational stuff!
I can heard your breathing is goin way faster than usual breath-up yet this cause hyperventilation...Never excess more than 2 times deep inhale before attempt the dive,any deep inhale that are more than 2 times is consider a hyperventilation..I guess yourself didn't noticed that you're definitely hyperventilating...At last but not least,there's a great buddies system..
Yo ah cmng down January take meh out to shoot something nah
Subbed. Thanks for posting
Stay safe bro, The family waits.
Great buddy. Thank u for sharing. It might save many people from blacking out.
More than 2 Hyper Vents to the dive.your headed for trouble.
what happent bro? be carefull, succces speaarfishing
What a great buddy u have! He was swift and got your back almost immediately. I always thought diving not too deep and not too long would prevent BO and it won’t happen as long as one doesn’t push too far. Now I learned from your video that it’s always safer with a buddy. Thank you for your courage to post this. Wish you a happy and safe dive.
I agree with René 😬
Thanks for sharing this Ben. Definitely a reminder for all of us to be more cautious divers...and more importantly, better dive buddies. Cheers.
YOU STUPID IN YOUR DESCRIPTION YOU SAYING YOU ARE BLACKOUT BUT IN VIDEO WHEN YOUR FRIEND ASK YOU YOU KEEP SAYING YOU NOT BLACKOUT. YOU SAY IT MANY TIMES
Ben, thanks very much for posting this video, and especially for your excellent incident report. I mostly dive by myself, even with others we go our own ways, almost never watching each other. I think of myself as a safe diver, just as you describe... good fitness, good breathe up period, not pushing limits, never hurrying to the surface... but this video makes me rethink my "normal".
Do not hold your Breath is turn to coke you down
You don’t know how to control your Breathing is too bad
Wow... Black out... #staysafesir.
Ben, thanks for the post! I actually watched this like 4 years ago and thanks to your video and a few other similar ones I took a course that showed me how dangerously I had been diving before (due to hyperventilating and bad technique). After an LMC of my own and seeing a buddy of mine SWB inside an underwater cave I'm convinced that that course saved both of our lives.
I got goosebumps. So glad you have a friend like him
your friend he is a good man i salute be careful
Keep safe diving friends.always on your limits don’t push your self in trouble
Over hyperventilate?
keren masterr
Where is this? You looking for a dive buddy? Let’s go!
Nice work!!!
Happy days, quick draw cracking shot! Cheers for sharing
Nice fish, looked heaps smaller until you had it on the surface LOL. You must have been stoked!
Very bad- dangerous,bat commendable.🙄
Can you explain what you mean by hyperventilating on the breath up?
Hyperventilating is _any_ increase in volume of air exchange over your natural breathing rate for more than one breath. There are a lot of breathing techniques you can do before a dive, but they pretty much all involve not breathing naturally, and therefore have some risk hyperventilating, even if accidentally. Doesn’t have to be panting like you might typically think of when I hear hyperventilating, can just be slow even deep breaths for a minute or two, but it’ll throw off your CO2 levels and cause you to black out much faster.
Thats scary stuff. Glad youre ok. Your buddy was quick on the scene - good job!
Too bad you were diving with a buddy.
Well done for making this public
Any relation to the Modica that founded the university??
😲 leave nemo alone bro.... 😂
Always have a dive buddy ALWAYS... I don't care how many years you've dived anything can happen an will happen.
Looked like a really comfy dive, no panic, smooth exit and bang, out of no where. Buddy system is a must! Thanks for posting.
Es ke el pendejo no mira tiene los ojos cerrados.
Never ever hyperventilate!!
Im in bequia
Your my brother
I like you frend.. God parnher
Dude the love your friend had for you when he rushed over got me emotional. That is a good man right there.
Looks nice to spearfish!! Great video buddies
