Anyone else watched The Deepest Breath? on 16:23 - Aug 2 with 754 views | Nutkins_Return | Thought it was a really good watch but yes agree on the anxiety. When I was younger I once swam a length and back of a pool with the cover on (which was idiotic but did give a bit of a rush - so weirdly there is something in the rush of it). I like the simplicity and rawness if it but when you reflect so many completely pointless deaths. I can't understand why the safety guys don't just have those very lightweight oxygen handheld things for a few breaths for an energy etc. Or some unit to help them go fast for emergencies. Probably comes down to ego and keeping it dangerous. |  |

That's what we were saying last night, couldn't believe the safety team didn't have oxygen for people who were clearly struggling. But also you wouldn't get a white card if you came up and asked for help, really odd. |  |

I think the oxygen would be an issue at a certain depth possibly with the pressure exerted on the lungs but just a little handheld one for closer to the surface where most of them seem to pass out. On that last dive with what happened. For something like that surely just have a little handheld propeller 'seascooter'. Cost a few hundred quid....just binteason other than ego not to have one if something goes wrong. |  |
