Man rescued after blacking out while attempting to break record for world’s deepest dive | NY Post

A freediver was attempting to break the world record for the deepest dive when he blacked out due to low oxygen pressure.

Miguel Lozano is a professional freediver and freediving entrepreneur from Barcelona, Spain.

The 43-year-old had attempted the dive twice before — once in the Bahamas and once in Bali, Indonesia.

The target depth was 125 meters — and in the past, Lozano had made it to 122 and 123 meters.

The safety guys were all deep too... that was hardly a 'shallow' water blackout... great rescue, job well done!

A friend and former work colleague was involved in resuce. The safety divers were part of his team. He's implemented safety divers for events such as this and trying to make it a standard across the board. He also teaches safety diving courses and instructor courses. I'm just so proud of him for what he's accomplished. So happy that the diver is ok. If you're thinking of free diving, always, always make sure your instructor is accredited

The level of preparation and teamwork is amazing

Team work ! First diver had really impressive speed !

[RackwitzG]

What's crazy is that all those helpers were down their with him without oxygen. I guess that ensures that they can quickly ascend without decompression sickness.

Those safety guys were ready and well trained for the job! Incredible to see how they saved this man's life!!!

I noticed that rescue team are not diving all the way to bottom but just wait at 20 last meters, what happens if diver black out at the bottom?
