1. Im here because of Sebastiank22

2. Those squeaks of trying to breath air..

3. I remember as a teen I just in 9 foot while the pool was closed and immediately sank to the bottom. I tried calling my cousin but obviously that didn’t work. So I swam to the wall and Spider-Man crawl all the way up. I never been more terrified in my life. Rip Yuri

4. Here because of sebastiank22

5. Poor guy

6. I think that the saddest part about this, is the abrupt cut of the video at the end. Just a couple of days after after his death, there is another video recording

7. What are those squeaking sounds??

8. I swear I feel like my chest gets tighter and tighter as the video continues 😰😰😰 RIP Yuri

9. This was so sad may he rip

10. Elena Konstantinou αν θυμαμαι καλα ειναι στο dahab εκει…τον βρηκαν μετα απο λιγο καιρο με φαγωμενα τα ποδια του..υπαρχει σχετικο βιντεο γιαυτο..αν ειναι ο ιδιος γιατι εχουν χαθει πολλα ατομα εκει…

11. 8 days later

12. 3:19– huh?

13. Dosen't matter if you're a professional you must have respect to the sea

14. 3:18 "HELP"

15. This video is incomplete and edited by someone (cut in 17:11:08). Why don't you put the whole video here? It is drastic and you have fear to youtube laws?

16. Damn 😢

17. IMHO he is "dying" on the video. Things went wrong around minute 6:37, when he seems to loose control over his buoyancy. You hear him using his inflator, but he is still sinking. After that time it's a "free fall" to the bottom of the Blue Hole as the speed of the particles in the water show. It could be he was overweighted (cam? In 2000 that video stuff was huge!) or he had not enough air capacity in his BCD to lift up with his equipment – or the BCD was broken. It's easy to say: "Drop the cam guy! And pull of your lead belt!" if you are sitting on the beach. At 50m or 60m deep nitrogen narcosis will affect every diver! And after 57m oxygen will be poisonous too (if using compressed air like he did!). At 9:07 it could be another try, to get air in his BCD, but I'm not sure about that sound. Probably he was in a delirium at this deep. That whirling around on the bottom could be cramps due to the neurotoxic effects of oxygen at this pressure, which can occur after a very short time. Okay … it's all speculation. But definitely he had a buoyancy problem and his chances to survive were quite low beyond the 60m mark. His tragedy is very clearly shown on that disturbing and unique video. Very sad footage, indeed … sorry for that guy and his parents. RIP.

18. I've been able to cure my fear of horror movies like saw and all, now i love them. But THIS fear, i will never be able to cure it.

19. Sounds like he starts hitting that BCD valve around 3:15 minutes. Nothing happened. I don’t get why he didn’t shed the weight and camera instead of just continuing decent. I can’t imagine many things more terrifying than going down…down into that abyss. I get that he got narced at some point and maybe that was a small blessing. I’d want to be narced out of my mind at that point. I just don’t get how he went immediately from recording other divers nearby, to that uncontrolled descent. R.I.P. Yuri

20. RIP😢

21. 5:35

22. There are old divers and there are bold divers. There are no old bold divers.

23. 3:18 "HELP"

24. @vk-pk8uz if you don't know what you are talking about don't wiki something and post as truth. You're an idiot.

    I'm a commercial diver or as most of you might know an underwater welder. Most of my dives are 100+ ft (though I have done alot of shallownwork from 40ft-75ft). You don't get "narc'd" by descending to fast. You can literally go down as fast as you want or you can tolerate. As a diver you learn to equalize your ears as you drop. You don't take on more oxygen and you don't get narc'd because of descent speed.

    Bottom time refers to getting the bends. The longer you stay at your deepest depth the longer decompression you have. Your body can take on more and more and more and more nitrogen. Thats how saturation divers live at bottom pressure for weeks on end.

    Saturation divers have dove to to 200 ft and stay in a habitate for literally 30ish days.

    There is so many issues with your comment that I dont even know where to really start.

    As you come up from the bottom you have to make water stops/pressure stops to do what's called off gasing. You do a water stop for however long the decompression table requires if it says 1 or at 60 ft then you stay at 60ft of pressure for 1 hr then you come up to your next water stop which could be 50 ft and so on. Once you come out of the water you could still have more decompression time which then you get into a decompression chamber at the specified depth for the specified time to decompress and finish off gasing the rest of the nitrogen in your system.

    As for your comment about not using oxygen because it becomes toxic. That is false as well. It's harder to pump enough oxygen to a diver at deeper depths. For example if you take a balloon filled with air to the bottom of the pool you will notice that the balloon volume shrinks (due to pressure) so the cu ft you would get at the surface is now a cu inch (bad terminology but I hope it gets the picture across). Thus they dive with mixed gas because it's easier to push the mixture to the diver or it doesn't reduce as easily in a scuba tank.

    There are so many issues with your comment I can't factualize every aspect of it with sending you to a 7 month physics course for diving.

    If you were to take a full lung capacity of oxygen at 50 ft of water and you held your breath and surfaced the volume of air at 50 ft would increase so significantly by the time you reached the surface, your lungs would literally explode. That's why they tell you to breath out or continue normal breathing while slowly making your ascent to the surface.

    Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't post a comment with false information. You can get somebody killed.

25. I wouldn't wanna go in to water over my knees. I respect big water and have lots of fear. I'll stay away from it. I understand people have desire to see something dangerously beautiful on earth before you leave. Devil is the prince of beauty and knowledge. So, we gotta be careful.

26. He was a fool. Diving instructors told him not to do it but he choose to disobey their advice. Arrogance and stupidity caught up to him and claimed him. You were warned about all the dangers and still you choose to do it your way. R.I.P.

27. Arrogance can cause much heartache. He should have known better! RIP

28. 3:19 MEOW

29. Thanks god i cant dive or swim. Rip yuri❤

30. When you dive, you attach a certain amount of kg w/ lead packs to your gear. In the case you become ill or for some reason need to get up fast, you can release the lead, as it will create upwards force (due to Archimedes law). Appareantly, those who die during diving most often are found with their lead packs.
    They’re afraid of divers’ sickness (and possibility of pneumothorax). Bottom line: Better to go up fast and risk consequences of divers’ sickness than to risk dying…

31. I watch this vid every day 😂

32. He played the stupid game and he won the stupid prize 😂

33. guys hes russian, not ukrainian.no need to feel sorry for him

34. How you can go that deep by an accident? I am not a diver, pleade tell me how.

35. Diving is simply not worth the risk.

36. Rip

37. We all just watched a man die on YouTube. In the 90's we had to find video rental stores that had faces of death.

38. MEOW 3:18

39. Why is it red?

40. 2:51 The moment when, I would say, everything went wrong. Probably his BCD failing, releasing air and turning an overweighted Yuri into a sinking deadweight.
