Quote:
As you point out someone that loses consciousness due to shallow water blackout may be restored (with limited stimulation on the surface) AS LONG AS they don't have water in their lungs. That alone could cause death otherwise. The snorkel apparently maintains an open pathway that defeats the closing off of the breathing way that usually happens automatically without a snorkel in place. The course goes into shallow water blackout symptoms, signs, detailed techniques for avoidance, emergency retrieval, restoring procedures, etc.. Lots of good content derived from accident experiences in competitive free diving. It takes a lot of the randomness out of free diving particularly diving with a buddy with similar training who knows what to look for and how to react.

https://vimeo.com/7713631 A video comprised of several free dives using a scooter and two video cameras on the Duane in 130 ft. of water off Key Largo. Thanks to Atlantis Dive Shop for running us out to the wrecks! Great job as always, for over 31 years! That is a long time to do something well. NOTE: Take proper training and use appropriate procedures before considering scooter free diving. It looks easier than it can be at times. Video shot with two GoPro WIDE cameras NB - this is a repost of a thread from 2009 with some now vintage UW GoPro camera gear.
