They had staged some bottles for their ascent deco near the anchor line, they got lost and free ascended. The decision they made, fully aware, was to die on the surface rather then to drown at depth. Every diver should read the book about their particular dive.

"Low on air" suggests they did not have time to do the "Decompression stops" which are required to allow time for the compressed nitrogen to egress out of the tissues. Not doing the stops causes nitrogen bubbles in the tissues causing great pain and can easily be fatal. Commonly called the "Bends".

Wow U-boat still taking lives after all these years

Diving is DANGEROUS. Diving into submerged wrecks is LETHAL. Only the most experienced divers who are experts in dangerous cave diving, and rescue are equipped mentally and physically for this activity.

That father/ son pair looked identical! I know that wasn't the point but damn, same exact face!

Diving can be a safe activity if you utilize good judgment. Unfortunately many highly experienced divers take risks that turn out to be unreasonable, and deadly. There is nothing on the bottom of the ocean that's worth someones life.

Here’s more information on this. The father and son duo had made the decision to sit their Deco tanks on the wreck to reduce their profile to allow entry into the sub. However, they did not tie or clip off the tanks to anything and when they exited the wreck after the father rescued the son, they realized the current had swept away their deco tanks leading to the low air emergency. There’s a couple lessons to be learned here:

1: don’t enter shipwrecks unless they were modified prior to sinking with the intention of diver penetration
2: if you choose to enter a wreck and must remove your deco tanks ALWAYS secure them. Do not leave them just sitting there

Maybe perhaps people should leave ahipwrecks alone especially ones from ww2 because they are graveyards.

Never in my entire life will the desire to swim inside of a sunken submarine ever cross my mind

The very essence of humanity, save my son first! This is a great example of love above all else! Sending blessings and love to those left behind, never forgotten!❤!

great book about this whole story called shadow divers, tells the story about everyone involved with great detail.

[alexandresofman]

Dying underwater or in tight tunnels is my worst nightmare. I’ve heard the story of someone too big in an unexplored part of the cave get stuck, and how do you rescue someone who’s surrounded by hundreds of feet or solid rock!
Same with cave diving. One tiny mistake can cause the loss of life. When I watch those videos I get claustrophobic. Although as a kid I used to crawl anywhere my head would fit. It was surreal the places I used to go to.

They dove air instead of trimix with 100% and 50% deco gasses. Still very tragic.

I know the flight engineer who was on the Dauphin Helo US COAST GUARD chopper that flew him to the hospital. I also taught him to spearfish scuba diving he use to go diving with me at night sticking Flounder around the Liberty ships 20 miles out of Dauphin Island AL.
I miss spearfishing and scuba diving in the Gulf

It's a war grave, leave it alone.

There’s a great book called “Shadow Divers” that tells in depth accounts of each of the many divers who died. Not just 3

[MarkUsDnsbry]

Book written. Very good...can better understand motivation of divers if read.

Exploring ship wrecks can be very dangerous.
