Found Footage of Diver Who Records His Own Death (Full Video)

In April 2000, Russian diver Yuri Lipski strapped on an air tank and a helmet camera, loaded his belt with weights, and plunged into the Blue Hole. He never resurfaced.

This is a morbid curiosity, to be sure but it's fascinating and should be a warning to other divers so they don't suffer the same fate as Yuri.

Yuri was diving at a place called the Blue Hole in Dahab, Egypt. It's a natural sinkhole, but is unique in the fact that it connects to the open see through a natural "arch." It's notorious for killing inexperienced divers that try to swim through the arch and either can't find it, underestimate its depth and run out of gas, or get nitrogen narcosis from the wrong mixture and eventually drown. He did not die trying to find the arch and you can read about the countless arch deaths elsewhere.

He most likely was doing a "bounce dive" to the bottom, which is where you just plummet to the bottom and come up immediately, usually to break a personal depth record. It is incredibly foolish and dangerous. You can see him show his dive computer to the camera multiple times, so it's probably to verify to people that he actually hit the bottom.

He made a few fatal mistakes while diving one of which was that He was diving with a SINGLE tank of AIR. This is the major contributing factor to his death. At 90 meters down, he only had 1/10th of the gas in that tank available because of the pressure. He also was using AIR which is 78% nitrogen. At depths below 100feet, NITROGEN becomes intoxicating. This is called nitrogen narcosis.

It was discovered that he was also overweighted with heavy camera equipment.

Lipski died at just over 300 feet underwater. At this depth, the body is subject to nitrogen narcosis, which can play havoc on the mind by inducing overconfidence, euphoria, hallucinations, confusion, and impaired judgment.

Lipski's body was recovered the following day by Tarek Omar, one of the world's foremost deep-water divers, at the request of Lipski's mother.[8][9] Omar had earlier twice warned Lipski against attempting the dive.[9] On the bottom, Omar he made an unnerving discovery. The doomed diver had recorded his own death.

Omar says:

Two days after we recovered his remains and gave [his mother] his belongings and equipment, she came to me asking that I help her disassemble them so she can pack them. The camera should have been damaged or even broken altogether because I had found it at a depth of 115 metres, and it is only designed to sustain 75 metres; but, to my surprise, the camera was still working. We played it and his mother was there. I regret that his mother will have this forever... If I had known the footage existed I’d have flooded it. I think the thing that really upset and saddened me about it was that his mom has it now – she has the footage of her own son drowning.
