That's an awesome video. We don't have many free divers here in Texas or access to an informational class like this. This is the kind of thing I need to know. Thanks for making it public information!! If i ever go to Australia I'm paying you guys a visit.
This is brilliant information could listen to the dive instructor all day. Clear explanations covered everything I was thinking about and more. Great stuff
I deeply appreciate the knowledge and the class, I am listening, am 100% disabled, swimming I am in no pain, learning snorkeling and breath holding. Thanks Bearhunter5
I'm really glad I found this video! Just started freediving in the past month or so, I always dive with a really experienced buddy, but I always wondered the proper technique if something ever happened to my dive buddy. Thank you so much for the video, and the fantastic tips...once you know the right way, it all seems so natural and intuitive !
A really excellent video that's really well worth watching with informative and invaluable rescue techniques. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
When I blacked out I felt nothing at all. It was as if I was transported forward in time. Just like falling asleep for a little bit. It was a wake up call and I stopped diving alone. I've had close calls too, where I either got convulsions up on the surface and I could barely keep my head above water (while on a rock shelf) Scary stuff but I managed. Or again, convulsions that almost caused me to not keep my airway above water and almost breathed some in. I think what caused my blackout was improper breathing. I didn't actively hyperventilate but I took a long time between dives and I guess at that relaxed state proper breathing (because of a lowered heart rate before dives) is actually even slower than normal breathing for me. Normal breathing when you drop your heart rate to the 40s is probably slower. I don't know, I'm only a beginner. I will get certified however, in time.
in 2015. I got deco illness type 1 T70.3 because of frequent deep dives (0-32m) I was spearfishing for 7 days,every day for 6h-8h without pause...-my teeth are gone now...-but I recovered...and now im diving again :)
I have experienced shallow water blackout many , many times, the remedy is oxygen . Force to break surface & immediately& forcefully hyperventilate until consciousness returns, otherwise resuscitate and immediately give oxygen it's available rush the EMT in hospital
Got knocked out by a hockey puck, likely very similar. Came to because the trainer was just gently rocking me back and forth. Obviously that won’t be helpful in the water, but it just goes to show that a nice repetitive contact will help bring somebody out of it.
No mention of ditching weight belt? That is the first thing to do when assisting a diver in trouble. The increased buoyancy will make everything easier. Here in South Africa me and the guys I dive with unbuckle our weight belt when ascending from a deep dive and hold the loose end. If you black out your weight belt will fall away and at least you will float greatly increasing your chance of being rescued. We also have a clip on a short lanyard attached to our belt. If we think we’ve stayed too long, you clip your weight belt to your buoy line and drop your belt greatly increasing you ascent rate. My closest call was when I overstayed a dive recovering a grouper from a cave. I wasn’t using a buoy so couldn’t clip my belt to a line. Despite this I jettisoned my belt immediately on ascent and surfaced next to the boat very shakey and with the grouper still in my hand. After a rest on the boat I used a spare belt to dive and retrieve my belt. It is a good idea to have a spare belt on the boat to reduce any reluctance to drop your belt on one of those really good days. I’ve personally known 3 guys who have lost their lives through black outs, although one of them drowned due to getting tangled in his line with a large dagga (mulloway) on his spear that had swum into a wreck. The two guys who drowned from “classic” SWB would have survived had the protocols above been followed.
This is a great video. I sometimes don't get contractions when diving.. This has led to two blackouts in the past. One in static, one when coming up after two minutes of just staying down at the bottom. Is anybody else experiencing this? And if so, how can I train to feel when it is time to go up?
I'd bet that you didn't have those contractions because you hyperventilated without realising it. Make sure your breathing is nice and relaxed before holding your breath, and don't take any quick or deep breaths
For us newbies......what is a Rig Line and where is that attached to? What is a Float Line, and where is that attached to? For us novices, please clarify what your dive terms actually mean! Thanks for this great info!
Both the same thing mate. A float/rig line is a line attached to your gun usually with a shark clip and then runs up to a float on the surface. Good for safety like Wayne explained, also good to let boats know your there with the float and it helps when shooting bigger pelagic fish.
The simplest, and probably the best description for a rigline, hardline or floatline is simply a length of rope attached to the base of the handle of your gun with a shark clip and attached usually with a swivel to a float at the other end. The line used is typically static meaning that it has little to no stretch. However the blue water spearo's use dynamic lines that stretch like big bungy's to help prevent large fish from tearing the slip tip or shaft clean out of themselves. Also some floats come with a alpha flag that warns boaters of the presence of divers in the water.
Not sure if this message will get a response since it's going on 8 years old now, but can anyone speak on whether or not breathing air on ascent would mitigate the risk of SWB? If SWB occurs as the PPO2 drops on ascent due to the decrease in pressure and PPO2, then would breathing air on ascent be sufficient enough to mitigate this risk? or would the oxygen tension within tissue be so far gone that breathing air during ascent would have little to no effect in increasing the PP02 on ascent?
I understand some purists will think this defeats the purpose of breath hold diving and if that's the case to just use SCUBA, however, if you can use it as a safety measure to ensure you don't die 6ft from the surface, Id say its worth it right?
Providing you dont have a snorkel in your mouth (should have taken it out on the way down) your bodies natural reaction when you black out is to clench your jaw and airway closed. It shouldn't release this clenching again until uncle is rubbing your face and telling you to breath as he blows on your face...
You got to be kidding, right. The saying is "one up, one down". Only one of you i your pair is shooting at a time, it doesn't matter if a fish of a lifetime appears.
This should have tens of thousands of views. Great rescue workshop. Thanks for putting this info out there in the realm of FREE!
Thanks Mate. We're glad, and pretty proud, to be putting this kind of content out there to keep divers safe.
Absolutely and congratulations for the excellent explanations...Regards from Cape Verde Islands
It's very possible that because of this video some of our lives might have been extended without us realising. Thanks for sharing
This is the best freediving advice and will help save many lives
Thanks Adreno for posting this and not selling it. Wayne is a beautiful man for sharing his experience.

Top caliber information.. so much experience coming through. Thank you!
Instablaster...
That is exactly what I learnt at my training with International Spearfishing Academy in Dubai
This is so so helpful. Thank you for making this available for free! You're saving lives :D
I had no idea what to do if one of my buddies blacked out. I feel a lot more confident on what to do now because of this video. Thank you so much!
I once suffered a shallow porter blackout in a pub. I wasn't even being deep at all, everything took place very close to the surface.
Mr, Judge is a cool guy to listen to, in that very important n serious topics of blacking out under water...

A lot of knowledge in this one video. Great work adreno! Always supplying the goods. Keep it up
Fantastic video. Thanks for publishing I.
Great video, very informative. I recon I’d be ripping off the weight belt before I took my buddies mask off though.
Thanks for this, I've always wanted nore in-depth knowledge. Wish many youtubers would take up your buddy advice. So many diving solo?
A really excellent video that's really well worth watching with informative and invaluable rescue techniques. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

Absolutely priceless information, thank you very much for sharing, i will certainly be implementing all of this on my next Dive.
Thank you for posting this.
Best video ever! Best instructor ever !
His knowledge is gold!
Absolutely amazing information yet again!!!!!
Great talk, what a teacher!
in 2015. I got deco illness type 1 T70.3 because of frequent deep dives (0-32m) I was spearfishing for 7 days,every day for 6h-8h without pause...-my teeth are gone now...-but I recovered...and now im diving again :)
Petar Jelovac why are your teeth gone ??? Is that to do with deep diving ???
I have experienced shallow water blackout many , many times, the remedy is oxygen .
Force to break surface & immediately& forcefully hyperventilate until consciousness returns, otherwise resuscitate and immediately give oxygen it's available rush the EMT in hospital
I love the tutorial on the safety in the water and awareness. Much appreciated 🙏. Thank you Sir, cheers from Hastings NZ. 27th October 21.
this sure save lives. thanks for sharing
thank you for all these tips sir.
Great info session.
a very3x helpful info for everyone. thank you for sharing this vid.
top top top info!!! thanks for sharing this absolutely necesary knowledge for safe spearfishing! good on you
Good job Wayne ! Thank you.
Without a doubt the best info and advice. Cheers!
Big information, wow.
Very good learnt a great deal from watching this thanks !!
Thank you for posting this!
This video is a credit to your business, thank you so much.
thank you,sir.
I dive alone beacuse I have no friends but I struggle to equalize so I cant get past about 5m anyway so I should be OK, good vid thanks.
very good tips
Good lessons
Very helpful. Thank you.

This could save lives ! God bless you sir !
thanks for this - I'll get my boys to watch this
Never miss leg day!
Thanks for this
Awesome thanks for all you do.
The australian walter white. Top bloke.
I don't understand the comparison
excellent
great info!!!
Does Adreno offer any online courses?
Great video mare thanks for sharing the info

top tips!
Can you give us a timeline on when it's getting serious or when the rescue breath should be given?
I don't dive but great talk. Gotta ask, however, how many young bulletproof cats take this guys advice to heart?
I figure, all that are serious enough to do the courses are highly likely to practice what they have learnt.
Thanks for this. Subscribed ✌🤙

Great information but u should have put a mic on him it was hard to listen properly
Gordon Ramsey: fresh ingredients
This guy: Fitness & Training
TAKE IT EASY IF YOU AREN'T FIT. KEEP IT AROUND THE ROCKS SHALLOW DIVES.I'M 61 YEARS OLD AND ENJOY DIVING FOR CRAYS AND SPEARFISH SMALL PAN SIZE FISH.
Is there any danger in diving say 2-3 meters for short periods?
If your fit and healthy, frequent dives to 3-5m are generally safe.
Just pause between dives, to recover
Always swim dive with a buddy partner to help you.
非常感谢
you forgot to mention dropping they weight belts
How tf did TH-cam know what playlist to add this to? Wtf?
What's this community called?
Why am I watching this I don't even scuba dive 🤣
breath hold diving/freediving
Neither do these guys
I think it’s illegal to scuba and spearfish
If u blackout underwater wouldn’t u swollow water

It shouldn't release this clenching again until uncle is rubbing your face and telling you to breath as he blows on your face...
Pretty sure he went over that...
@@kweenslandspearo1981 pretty sure ur 1 year late🤙
🤙🏻
you have to be insane diving with another guy in the water with a gun NOPE NOPE NOPE.
You got to be kidding, right. The saying is "one up, one down". Only one of you i your pair is shooting at a time, it doesn't matter if a fish of a lifetime appears.
really informative thanks alot :D
