PLEASE learn from my mistakes guys, there have already been way too many spearfishermen who have passed away from blacking out and we don't need anymore! I've added some additional points in the description that I forgot to mention in the video 👍 *EDIT some viewers have given some very great points and advice in the comments, so would highly recommend looking through them 😄

As someone just starting out Ethan I thank you for the reality check… this has made me reflect on diving without a buddy.. I know this is a big no no for a spearo but for many it is either this or not at all…. Obviously knowing your limits and your body are super important.. but this can only be achieved with some element of risk.. having a reliable buddy mitigates this.. I’d be keen to hear from others how one goes about mitigating some of these risks.. thanks for share my Ethan 🙏🙏

My pleasure Mark, it's great to hear you found it helpful! Exactly it's not always realistic to dive with a buddy, but knowing your limits and making sure you don't push yourself anywhere NEAR those limits when diving solo is crucial. I rarely dive solo but the few times I have, I've made sure to stay well within my limits, whether that was staying in the shallows or simply coming up to breathe as SOON as I felt the urge to 👍

Avoid diving without having a buddy in the water over you on every dive! Never break the apnea and let air out on your ascent,you need all the O2 in those bubbles! Follow breathing protocol on the surface! Dive safe Ethan I’m enjoying your content!!!

Thank you for sharing this - very much appreciated. I didn't know what samba was but I think I have experienced it a few times. I have blacked out a few times at home in breath-holding "training" just to see what it's like, try to recognize the signs of it coming on. Every little bit of experiential information is extremely helpful! Thanks again.

Scary stuff mate, good on you for sharing the honesty. Glad you got to make this video Ethan, It will be nice to have someone else banging the dive safe drum For those that haven't done a course go do one. In WA, The WAUC club subsidises the cost of the courses for members. Worth raising this at your local club, it is a really cool thing to do. Having recovered people from a full on Samba and a black out I can only say again, have someone spotting you all the time. If Ethan had had a SWB, hopefully he would float and not sink. If he had sunk, and with no spotter, it could have been game over. Also, at minimum, Learn to do proper recovery breaths when you hit the surface and ensure you are weighted right. Dive safe Everyone.

Thank you Dave! Haha yes, hopefully this video saves others from it. Well said and couldn't agree more, some great points you brought up and funny enough I did take a bit of weight off my belt this day as I knew we would be diving in some deeper waters with the possibility of chasing tuna! So ensuring you're weighted right can no doubt save your life 👍 Hopefully we can head out for a dive together one day 😄

Awesome video Ethan. In a wierd way having a samba is a good thing as it will teach you to recognise the signs and symptoms before you reach that point again. I had one once after a 30m dive. Luckily it was during a course so had proper backup. But it's saved my bacon a few times already as now I have learned to recognise the preliminary signs before a samba or blackout occur. Not a nice thing to happen but a good learning experience.

Thanks for that, yes very good advice and we always go 2up for this reason. One thing I noticed is if you are used to spearfishing in 5 to 10m it feels hard physically because holding bottom is a challenge. If you then try going deeper, particularly in clear water it feels easier to descend and stay down which tricks you into more bottom time. This makes it much easier, for me anyway, to hit a limit super quick on return to surface. If you then don’t have a long enough surface interval or have pushed it previous days the effect is cumulative. What did your mum say? Bet she cracked it!!
@EthanYeo1
2 жыл бұрын
YES!!! That is a very good point, I think the reason why I was so comfortable this day was cause of the depth and how I could just lay motionless on the bottom. Hahaha I don't know if she's seen this video as she's away on holiday 😅
