Diver SUCKED Into PIPE | Diving Gone WRONG 

Hey Sean, have you ever thought of doing a scary interesting series on the top three stories from each state or national parks? I think you could have some success with something like that. Stay safe and be well!

@@jackstevens585 yea

@@jackstevens585 I haven't, but that's a great idea!

@@jackstevens585Great idea!

@Scary Interesting top comment is some guy spoiling the first story, clip it please.

The poor girls family is suing the dive shop, but the police 100% need to charge those “instructors” with murder.

@@Missconduct044 Do you know the name of the documentary?

@@Missconduct044 second this. 😢

@@Missconduct044 murder? Please

@@Missconduct044 malpractice.....not murder

Yeah hearing that story made me mad that was just murder.

Yeah, how horrible those diving instructors casually let this slide. Props to the students who did their darnest to help her.

Yeah this was a situation that could have been extremely easily avoided.

One of the worst tragedies ever, honestly. The level of incompetence is insane.

@@TallerVRS bitter, are you?

Did more for her than the people in charge smh

im less brave than him, just sayin'. sooooooooo, take that for what you will.

@@EmmaDilemma039 They should’ve been charged with manslaughter .

Bravery is a gift, but foolish actions can kill u for it to

@@EmmaDilemma039 Hope it was clear I meant the “instructor” should’ve been charged with that or negligent homicide. Which , by how little the government now shows it values life these days, might get him 9 months and a slap on the back of the hand with a wet spaghetti.

Man the way you put it really describes just how sad it was. What a shitty way to go. Rip to the girl. 😢

I just finished watching another Scary Interesting, video where 3 divers were attacked by sharks, and one diver had to watch his friend get dragged away. I can’t imagine the guilt and fear and sadness. That poor student did his best and hopefully doesn’t have survivor’s guilt. The instructors were to blame, or the institution not training their trainers properly and not having adequate equipment. And the second story, so sad and infuriating that man to try so hard to save his father and then have the coast guard refuse to help. I would going insane feeling so helpless when saving someone feels just out of reach. My heart goes out to them and their families.

Asinine comment. @mehrimazedeh

Worse than guilt. Wow.

I wouldn't feel anything other than "Better them than me" You know that saying... Play stupid games.

That and in 99% of cases large water pipes usually either end at the turbine of a hydroelectric powerplant or a massive water pumping station, either of which is certain death for any living thing that goes through it.

agreed, those pipes and this big waterways in and out of a dam. Holy Fudge 🕳

Plus you can't see a thing

😁

Even more terrifying is that the man thought he was getting sucked into a spinning fan that would slice him to death.

That is absolutely disgusting. Also leave it up to the US justice system to be negligent in pursuing justice and punishment against these people and often other people out of their own interests.

Glad you're doxxing them, they should be charged with manslaughter

​@@abigmonkeyformeWoman

@@crossfire2045 Do you know anything about the case? They (as in the US justice system) wanted to bring a criminal case against these people but didn't have enough evidence.

Montana??? What? No where near an ocean?

that really doesnt make much sense in practice tho. How many students for how many instructors? An instructor cant look at every student every moment...

​@@koenwijnen9186 You don't have to be giving individual, one-on-one attention to each student in order to glance around you and do a sweep of the surroundings and count your students. On top of that, this was an advanced course with limited spaces, presumably for precisely this reason--so instructors can ensure the safety of their students in a more dangerous environment.

@@Prizzlesticks No pearl your intuitions seem really c ounter intuitive. If it was an advanced class there really isnt that much need for the instructor to constantly look at there students. An instructor is just that, an instructor, he aint your daddy pearl.

@@koenwijnen9186 Being in an advanced class does not mean knowing the skill already, that's why they are in a class with limited participation space. I googled a couple of dry suit classes online in various locales, and I haven't seen higher than 8 students per instructor, making class sizes limited. And very expensive. The instructors are not there for sight seeing or having fun--they are there to ensure people new or learning the experience of a dangerous hobby are able to do so safely and correctly. Instructing your students to go ahead with faulty equipment and then not paying attention for an extended period of time is clear negligence. They aren't playing with crayons and glitter, bub. And you're right, the instructors aren't parents. Because you're paying them a lot of fucking money to DO THEIR JOBS. If you can't grasp that, I don't know what to tell you except never go into the teaching profession--you clearly have no aptitude or understanding of it. And judging by your rotten grammar and inadequate grasp of logic, I can see you weren't a good student, either. Now stop clapping back with your ass cheeks and go do something productive with your life. Maybe read a book or touch some grass.

@@koenwijnen9186 No, she is 100% right. Let me guess, you're one of the incompetent shytestains running this criminal "course"?

I agree. What justification the “Coast Guard” had for waiting so long will be interesting to hear.

@@PoweredByAudio I thought so to when they had the information from a survivor who saw everything that they were in a air pocket. Fast action should’ve been the case, they even had information that the men were sharing air supply so time was of the essence. Very sad.

i cant imagine being either the person who said “they’re alive” just to get basically ignored, or being the ALIVE people waiting in an air bubble to be rescued too just to run out of oxygen because their LIVES weren’t worth the risk, i agree with another comment that says they shouldve just let the guy sign a waiver and let him go back in. its absolutely heartbreaking hearing how they just let them slowly die down there

@@PoweredByAudio This isnt the first time that trinidadian company "paria" disregarded their employee lives in such situations. There was an autopsy done on the divers bodies and it was revealed they were alive for at least 2 more days since they got sucked in. Theres currently an on going battle in court with the lone survivor representing the victim divers who were left to die but knowing how corupt the government of trinidad is, nothing and no justice will come out of this.

The coast guard doomed them all. The son could have saved them.

I was wondering why the dive shop wouldn't have equipped her with a quick release weight belt. That's insane.

a teenage girl is in "The prime of her life"...? Holy cow...You're a pedo, aren't you?

Didn’t love it enough to do any research beforehand.

@@mushyroom9569 stfu with the victim blaming

​@@mushyroom9569that's why you pay an instructor for. The internet can help as a resource for information, but not for everything and you DO need experienced people to teach those inexperienced. Stop victim blaming, are you the cuck of the diving instructor that fucked up in the last story?

I'm a rescue diver. This is negligence beyond belief. Even just having her use a drysuit without training was already enough, but it got so much worse.

I'm a scuba instructor, been following this incident since soon after it happened, and I've also read the civil suit filing (which provides all the detailed information of the incident.) I think "extreme gross negligence" is an appropriate way to describe the instructor's actions (there was only one instructor, contrary to all the YT videos about the incident.) I know exactly what the agency standards are for instructors, their responsibility to the safety of their students, how those standards are drilled into us during training. The list of violations by the instructor in this incident is so egregious... it's difficult to wrap my head around.

No one cares

@@TheEldenKnowledge "No one cares" This is a false statement, but thanks for trying. I hope you find the help you need.

@@IdRatherBeDiving-vr5gk no one cares

it's not cruel deliberately, they needed to know if they were still alive to know if the rescue had to continue. if they were still alive but they assumed they were dead, they would have tried much less

Who knows, that might've been the real lesson there. Glad you're still with us, jeez.

F*** those guys who didn't care, if it had been them they'd have cared. Glad you're still with us dude!

See my earlier comment. These guys should be held accountable …perhaps held underwater to feel what it’s like. 😕

I'm so sorry you went through that & so glad you made it out. I was really lucky that I learned to dive with amazing, experienced people who cared about safety but I've heard so many stories like this.. I hope you've found good people to dive with since!

What kind of shitty operation were those guys running where the student doesn't know basics before going into the water?

They could let her go, but monitor her especially. Maybe dedicate one of the dive masters to buddy up with her. Idk.

Either those instructors were too incompetent to do their job or they knew and set her up to die. Either way they are 100% responsible

And not even keeping an eye on her or checking on her with the lack of equipment. These are the people we're supposed to trust our kids to when their out from the safety of our homes.

A simple google search shows that the District Attorney dropped the lawsuit under the pretense "the instructor was too incompetent to be criminally responsible". This makes zero sense, so I assume the store owner was well connected to someone in the local government.

I agree. She is a newbie diver and someone recommeneded to her to have a dry suit to keep you warm. Now i know better then that since i watch alot of diving videos to know that a dry suit requires specialized training to use properly. But to someone green, a suit is a suit. I don't blame her for not knowing more about a dry suit/ oh dry suit keeps me warm so im not freezing? alright bet that sounds great. oh i can rent one without needing to show a qualification card saying i been dry suit trained? alright even better. Which the latter is a red flag on the shops part. The students might not know the difference but the shop SHOULD know the difference and demand some kinda certification before rending out dry suits to show the person knows how to operate one. Now the other red flag is the when it came time to do a gear check, she lacked equipment that should have been a no go from the start. If you wanted to proceed an instructor should have been glued onto her the moment she hit the water. I also dont think she was even properly briefed on the "dry suit squeeze" since she could have turned away much earlier in the dive so. Also I don't really understand the logic behind giving this person without the proper buoyancy hose lead weights vs a standard weight belt. I'm not a diver but i don't see any situation on why that would make sense since if this person coudn't inflate fast enough, due to lacking said control device, ditching weights is the next best option and you want to ditch weight FASTER not slower. edit: having researched this further. The instructors were not even certified to be teaching in that area, let alone teaching that level of course, and they weren't even certified to be teaching anything requiring a dry suit. Just malpratice all around

That's what boggles me, if I were the instructor I would look at her every 10 seconds, knowing all her defective equipment, it's ridiculous. Perhaps another thing to investigate is whether the group of students was too large compared to the number of instructors

People only care about women 😂

He has to live with having left her for dead. That's horrifying.

Hope he knows that even though she didn't make it, he's still a hero for trying his damndest as a STUDENT, and that it isn't his fault

@@bluejediforce I'm not a sentimental guy, but yes. I feel bad for him.

I would have also ended up in the same predicament if there were no signs.

Absolutely not. If you're stupid enough to explore it then that's just survival of the fittest bud.

The first story could just hang up a welcome sign, light up the tunnel and essentially make it a wild ride.

@@FHBStudio with a high chance of death. Wild.

@@khworker1322 Have you ever played theme park games?

I read the report on that some months ago and what made me truly sick is that in addition to all of their negligence and stupid practices, they knew she'd never used a dry suit and then once in the water, completely ignored her. There is even a picture that the other student took showing an instructor swimming just a couple of feet over Linnea's head while she's signaling distress. I believe this is when the other diver realized something was wrong and that the instructors were not paying attention or going to help. They also tried to somewhat threaten him about giving his camera with some pictures of the incident over to the attorney for the parents.

Just idiocy compounded! This did not seem like a plain “open water diving” course when you add the factors of dry suit, night dive, high altitude, and cold water! Even with all the oversights and faulty equipment, a simple buddy system could have prevented this tragedy! :(

Damn, trying to squirm out of responsibility. what excuse did they try?

Feel bad for the son that couldn't rescue his father

Link?

@@RP-dy5mu bruh

Link?

Whats the name of the audio?

Yes it was horrible

thanks for the info weeb

Maybe she shouldn’t have been so ignorant

@@Freddy_Confetti it was not her fault, the instructors were responsible for giving any information she needed. And they didn't

@@parden3743 True. Those instructors failed her. (A) They shouldn't have allowed her to go on the dive with a faulty dry suit that she wasn't properly trained on. (B) They loaded her down with damn near half her body weight (I'm assuming) with weights because she was unable to properly control her buoyancy due to the missing air hose. (I've never used weights on my dives but i'm negatively buoyant meaning I sink like a rock)😂 (C) Knowing all this and that she was a student in a new environment (mountain lakes vs the ocean) at least one of them should have been by her side throughout the dive checking on her, she shouldn't have to be frantically trying to get their attention. And why were they going diving so late in the evening anyway? That was damn near a night dive! In case you're curious about my knowledge, I am a former divemaster many moons ago at a small Caribbean resort. In fact, I was 18 at the time and it was my first real job after school. 😊 I participated in a lot of the new diver training sessions both in the pool and the ocean and was the back up diver on many dives (i was the designated buddy diver with guests who didn't have one) My boss was a master scuba intructor and would lead the dives, then later when i got more experienced he would let me lead the dives on my own. That was an enormous responsibility for an 18 yr old, one that I never took lightly. I've had to postpone dives because of safety concerns due to rough conditions. (I was young, fit and a strong swimmer but most most of my guests were older and not in as good a shape and in most of our dives, we entered from the shore and swam out to the edge of the reef before going down) also because I knew the rough seas would stir up a lot of silt which would hamper visibility and I wanted to make sure my guests had a good experience. I always did a safety briefing before every dive which included a quick 'what not to do' in case of a shark sighting which was stay together, don't panic and dash for the surface 😁 (I've only had one hammerhead sighting which was just that, a sighting, the guests were so thrilled) I would always check my divers air gauges every 15 mins and I was never more than 10 ft away and would tap my tank with my dive knife to get their attention, flash them an 👌 and insisted they respond in kind (Part of my safety briefing and something that girl in the story should have done instead of frantically waving, i know hindsight is 20/20) I also carried a small grease board that you can write notes with underwater in case I had to give specific instructions. I was also responsible for refilling the tanks after the dives and keeping tabs on tanks that needed to be pressure tested and removing them from active use until after they were tested and deemed safe for use. An air tank with 3,000lbs/sq in of pressurized air is like a small bomb going off if it ruptures. A tank usually lasted me about 90 mins (Our average dive was about 45-60 mins, i usually surfaced with a half tank) but people use air at different rates. I once had to cut a dive short because i took a couple out on a dive and after 25 mins the guy's air was down in the red (imagine your car's fuel gauge on E) 😲 Well, after a year and over 200 dives (I was averaging 5 - 6 dives per week) I'm proud to say that i've never had any accidents or injuries to any of my guests and the only thing they came back with were smiles and pictures. Btw..Sorry for the long comment, I started reminiscing and got carried away. Cheers. 😁

I enjoyed your story. Thank u for sharing it. 🤗💕

Agree and their blood is on the coastguard so hope they get their cowardly arses sued

Horrible but not at all surprising. It is standard procedure for government workers to show up and do nothing because “it’s too dangerous”. And they will even prevent others from helping. Same thing happened with cops in Uvalde and with Coast Guard here.

@@The20thHijacker the South Korea ferry where they refused help from all those boats nearby and all those kids died 😢

@@ajudygarlandfan3019 they're not gonna get sued cause it's not their fault.

​@@ajudygarlandfan3019 What a stupid thing to say. It's clear you've never worked in emergency services and have no understanding of how rescue operations work. 🙄🙄

Weird. I'm a scuba instructor. I've never screamed at a student, even the cocky ones. I also don't allow my students to go in the water with faulty equipment. But I make sure they have a good time along with keeping them safe. I'd be very concerned if one of my fellow instructors was screaming at a student; sounds like someone who has lost control of the situation, which is never a good thing for a scuba instructor.

Yeah I liked the first story because it was so freaky but no one died

I know this is random but thank you so much for using "could have". People more and more are using "could of" and it's driving me nuts.

On the first one, with the intake, I'm sorry, but they were pretty stupid not to realize what it was. There is a huge f-ing nuclear power plant just on shore. Maybe open your eyes, then think for a minute why there might be this structure just off shore near a power plant.

@@MyNameHere101my theory is the pronunciation of could’ve being misheard phonetically into “could of”

I think the rescue diver got too banged up in the pipe to be sent back in, he looked very psle when he was pulled out.

Eh the Port St. Lucie one is on the divers. It's not just an open pipe. It's a pipe with a thick fencing around it and the buoy has a warning sign to not dive there. The idiots dived anyways down to check out the powerplant's intake, and actually swam into the intake structure.

The way the coast guard handled it was awful when the son could rescue one of them a few hours after the incident but the coast guard couldn’t do so after days sits wrong with me.

​@@dar4kdragon525 There was no son trying to rescue the father.

lol

I saw comments saying the warning signs were clear and they had to take off the bars/mesh to get through.

MrBallen covered it. He supposedly did bypass numerous safety features.

Not to mention, the big f-ing power plant just on shore. It isn't hidden. It is huge. It would be pretty obvious what the structure is for. If you are that dumb, maybe take up a safer hobby.

Grates and drains in pools scared me as a child as well, and those fears were also founded. In 2010, a 12-year-old boy died after getting sucked to the bottom of a pool in Italy. In 2022, a 9-year-old girl died in a similar way in France. In 2011, an 11-year old girl died that way in Turkey. They weren't the only ones. As an adult, you think the fears you had as a child were irrational, until you discover they weren't...

I also meant to add, giving someone a drysuit without any training is completely irresponsible. A drysuit completely changes the game and the air inside is an added hazard. For example you can easily find yourself upside down as air migrates to your feet. Or worse, if you add too much air, you can shoot to the surface and risk lung rupture or the bends. You have to know how to dump air effectively and right yourself etc. Also, some drysuits such as a membrane suit offer almost zero cold protection if you have water seeping in.

Not even. He doesn't even have the facts right. Check Mr Ballen he covers the first 2 stories and many others and no one can tell these stories as amazing as he does .
