A freediver was attempting to break the world record for the deepest dive when he blacked out due to low oxygen pressure.
Miguel Lozano is a professional freediver and freediving entrepreneur from Barcelona, Spain.
The 43-year-old had attempted the dive twice before - once in the Bahamas and once in Bali, Indonesia.
The target depth was 125 meters - and in the past, Lozano had made it to 122 and 123 meters.

I'm not so sure about this. Record holder Herbert Nitsch had a similar problem and because they brought him up too the surface too quickly he became handicapped afterwards. Also I find it totally idiotic to not put even a SINGLE scuba diver there who could supply air under water in an emergency situation. To me this looks completely foolish.

@@testtor2714Please educate yourself before making silly remarks like this. We do not ever use scuba safety because if you take one breath from the regulator at depth, you now have to deco your way up. What they are trying to do is to get the unconscious diver to the surface asap, so they can wake him up or give him oxygen if needed.

@leonardofernandez3978 10 ай бұрын

@@testtor2714don't quote me but basically at the depth they go on a breath hold to give them oxygen from a tank at that depth isn't exactly air we breathe on the surface so I believe something along the lines of their lungs exploding would happen if they got them air at that depth

@testtor2714 10 ай бұрын

@@leonardofernandez3978 No. It doesn't make a difference whether you're scuba diving or free diving. Otherwise all the scuba divers would always die. And even if the surface level uncompressed air would be a problem, he could simply breath out before taking a new breath from a scuba diver in an emergency situation.

@xtherealest 9 ай бұрын

@@Coco_Loco95Nah they're freediving. You only worry about decompression stops when diving with a scuba tank because you're breathing and as you go up with the oxygen you just inhaled the lung expands because there's less pressure and your lungs could even explode. If you dive one breath only you're still on one breath of oxygen which means the air can't expand more than what you had when you started the dive.

This is Herbert Nitsch, the world's best deep free diver. What you are actually seeing is not people rescuing him, because he is still hold air. These men are forcing him to the surface before he should be there, which caused oxygen from his blood to force it's way into his brain. What they should have done was wait and allow his body to acclimate to the pressure, and slowly move him up. This dive almost killed him.

If he were to black out below the safety teams rescue depth, then there is another safety procedure. He is attached to that line with a clip, so they drop a counterweight off the back of the floating platform, which pulls the line up from the bottom. He will then be yanked up with the line to the surface where he can be rescued.
