    Cave Diving Gone Wrong - The 2014 Plura Cave Disaster

    Plura Cave Deaths (2014): Five professional divers decided to make one of the most difficult cave dives… the entirety of Plura Cave in Rana, Norway. Two Finnish divers met tragic ends. Their bodies were initially deemed too dangerous to retrieve, but four of their friends undertook a risky mission to recover them. Cave diving, by its very nature, offers little margin for error. A sudden incapacitation in a confined, overhead environment, far from immediate assistance, can quickly turn fatal. #cavediving #truecrime #underwater #accident #dangerous #scuba #diving #scary #mystery #pluracave #norway #technicaldiving #rebreather #tragedy #finland #drycave #illegal #nooneleftbehindMusic: The Dark Side of the Sun by Savfkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FdN8tlohp4 Hosted on Acast.

    The Mysterious Disappearance of Free Diver Natalia Molchanova

    Natalia Molchanova (Russian: Наталья Вадимовна Молчанова) was a Russian champion free diver, multiple world record holder, and the former president of the Russian Free Dive Federation. Natalia was the world’s most decorated free diver, holding 41 world records and winning 23 gold medals during her career.Free diving is considered one of the deadliest extreme sports. Free divers may descend more than 300 ft (100 m) without using an oxygen tank. At such depths, a diver’s heart rate begins to slow, their blood vessels shrink and their lungs compress. Divers often have to be helped to the surface and revived because diving to such depths squeezes the lungs and can cause major damage..#diving #ocean #freediving #gonewrong #caves #disaster #tragedy #unfortunate #scary #nataliamolchanova #stranded #russia #spain #famous #bluehole Hosted on Acast.

    The World’s First Submarine Accident - John Day

    The 1700’s were a period of growing connectivity between towns, cities and countries in Europe. Empire and increased trade meant that a large amount of cash was available to some of the population, not all of which were particularly educated. There were vast opportunities for conmen to get people to invest in the first mass pyramid and Ponzi schemes as well as in funding somewhat schemes based on unproven science. This turned out to be the case for John Day - an uneducated inventor that got himself into trouble with his overconfidence. ⁠#ocean⁠ ⁠#submarine⁠ ⁠#england⁠ ⁠#gonewrong⁠ ⁠#1700s ⁠#disaster⁠ ⁠#tragedy⁠ ⁠#unfortunate⁠ ⁠#scary⁠ ⁠#invention⁠ ⁠#scammed⁠ ⁠#diver #dumb #accident #history Hosted on Acast.

    Diving Gone WRONG: The Andrea Doria (A Diver’s Worst Nightmare)

    The Andrea Doria is considered one of the most dangerous wrecks to dive. At least 22 scuba divers have lost their lives diving on the wreck. Almost since the day it sank, the Andrea Doria has been a beacon for treasure hunters and adventure seekers. It offers the lure of history, artifacts — and danger. Diving conditions at the wreck site are considered very treacherous. Strong currents and heavy sediment can reduce visibility to zero and pose serious hazards to diving, making it hard to navigate around the 700 foot long ship. Holes in and out of the Andrea Doria have opened and closed through the years on the decaying wreck, making it easy to get lost and disoriented. Thick fishing nets drape over the hull of the ship. An invisible web of thin fishing lines, which can snag scuba gear, pose another danger. The ship’s depth also puts it well below the limit recommended for recreational divers.⁠#diving⁠ ⁠#shipwrecks⁠ ⁠#wreckdiving⁠ ⁠#gonewrong⁠ ⁠#ocean ⁠#disaster⁠ ⁠#tragedy⁠ ⁠#unfortunate⁠ ⁠#scary⁠ ⁠#technicaldive⁠ ⁠#disappear⁠ ⁠#diver Hosted on Acast.

    Diving Gone WRONG: The Wildrake Diving Accident

    The Wildrake diving accident was an incident near Scotland in August 1979 that killed two American commercial divers. During a routine dive in the East Shetland Basin of the North Sea, the diving bell of the diving support vessel MS Wildrake became separated from its main lift wire at a depth of over 520 ft (160 m). Although the bell was eventually recovered by Wildrake, its two occupants, 32-year-old Richard Arthur Walker and 28-year-old Victor Francis "Skip" Guiel Jr., died of hypothermia. The accident resulted in extensive subsequent litigation and led to important safety changes in the diving industry.⁠#diving⁠ ⁠#gonewrong⁠ ⁠ ⁠#disaster⁠ ⁠#tragedy⁠ ⁠#unfortunate⁠ ⁠#scary⁠ #accident #amazing #weird #money #commercialdiving #oil #drillrig #70s #saturationdiving #divingbell #ocean #dangerous #scotlandImage Credit: By Wusel007 - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=40696115 Hosted on Acast.

    Seaworld’s Serial Killer Orca: The Tragic Life of Tilikum

    Tilikum was taken captive from the wild in 1983 and died at SeaWorld in 2017. In February 2010, Tilikum killed his trainer Dawn Brancheau during a performance at SeaWorld Orlando. The incident became the focus of the 2013 documentary Blackfish and sparked public outcry about the mistreatment of captive orcas. But this was not the first time Tilikum had killed. Tilikum had been involved in not just one, but two previous deaths. In 1991, the orca killed another trainer, and in 1999, a trespasser. Yet, it was difficult to blame Tilikum. He was an orca, an apex predator, subjected to a demanding schedule of training and performances and used in captive breeding efforts. ⁠#seaworld #ocean⁠ ⁠#orcas⁠ ⁠#killerwhale⁠ ⁠#gonewrong⁠ ⁠#captivity⁠ ⁠#disaster⁠ ⁠#tragedy⁠ ⁠#unfortunate⁠ ⁠#scary⁠ ⁠#dawnbrancheau⁠ ⁠ ⁠#marinemammals #aquarium Hosted on Acast.

Dave dove to 886 ft (270 m), touched the bottom and started exploring. At that time, Dave had broken four records at one time, including depth in a cave on a rebreather. While on the dive, he found a body that had been there for nearly ten years, 20-year-old diver Deon Dreyer. Dave decided that he wanted to come back and retrieve the body, despite the exceptionally dangerous conditions.#diving #caving #cavediving #gonewrong #caves #disaster #tragedy #unfortunate #scary #daveshaw #davenotcomingback #rebreather Hosted on Acast.
