Fatal diver's accident in Blue Hole, Dahab, episode #4, Yuri Lipski "death caught on tape"

these twenty-something meters and exit the arch safely is an enormous risk it is this particular challenge that summons scuba divers to the Blue Hole many of them never come back tarik omar is a technical dive instructor based in da hub known by many as the Bone Collector Tarek has been responsible for retrieving many bodies from the depths of the Blue Hole 2000 this barber 1998 this is Martin on on corners youngest 2324 like younger this is Yuri the Russian guy we heard of fury of course what we could do what meant to be it will be and not to change it open to me who art thou whither goest thou what is thy name hi URI Lipsky just 24 years old he was from Moscow he was ambitious and well educated he followed any undertaking to its logical conclusion he enjoyed self-improvement and scuba diving was his passion one April morning in 2000 a few owners of the small cafes at the shore of the Blue Hole saw a man in full scuba gear he had a hard time finding a partner a local Egyptian guide he was fussing events video camera for a long time but then fastened it to his suit and attached the lens then he confidently stepped into the abyss the better wings accustomed to this kind of activity marched with indifference as the young man set out on what was to be his final dive we get him after maybe two days or three days when his family arrived his dad a mom and he really wanted the body back and then we went for for the body when I finally and his camera the camera it was I saying able to go to 75 meter so logically I thought maybe a hundred and fifteen after three days this camera is gone and been flooded so whatever in it it's okay no not nobody can see especially the family but we watched his equipment and I watched the house him from the outside he tried to open the housing and I was surprised that the camera is dry and I have a even a bit of ducks Tony we run the camera plugged it on the electricity and the rubber on the camera was very sad because we have ten minutes of fury and his family back on the Dead Sea with his father and his other mother and sister I'm Lane and then two-minute blank and then you dying they say this place sends strange signs and warnings they talk warily of its secrets mysteries go unexplained URI Lipsky never came up that April morning and no one really knows why rumors circulated among divers the URI had captured his own death on camera but our production team found the truth about the tape and what it had recorded URI doesn't die on the recorded tape he's preparing to return to the surface he's alive and very much in control he seems relaxed and confident he doesn't scream or call for help he just quickly descends to the bottom his computer shows enough air to resurface and then his camera mysteriously turns off if you carefully watch your ins tape up until the very moment the video camera turns off you can hear his breathing it's a little uneven as he descends and then becomes even the camera stops recording video but continues taping URIs relaxed breathing and only later does it turn off completely so what happened in those five minutes something strange happened to him at the bottom at the beginning of his ascent he can't resurface the wing of his buoyancy compensator dumps air when he tries to inflate it he throws away weights and disentangled from his cables and batteries but again fails to inflate his BCD his camera clearly records the sound of air being expelled into the water he pulls out his service marker boy while descending further and further rolling down the slope he is sinking out of control the fog of nitrogen narcosis closes in but he understands he must hold his breath every breath of air at this depth could cause fatal uncontrollable convulsions years later died has continued to discuss the technical details of your lips please dive up until the moment when the camera turned off Yuri was taking all the right steps to resurface he didn't panic or call for help he attempted to solve the problem that was clearly puzzling him but what was the problem equipment malfunction or is there a more obvious message
