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?

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?

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

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
