Blue Hole Belize


I've dove that too ;) Went down to about 160ft? Not much to see besides some very very large stalactites


Here are some dive photos I took, hope you dig them puffer ;)



Blue Hole






Looking down at entry point from boat



Ledge that drops down, follow this down




Way down, looking up


Main attractions, besides some serious nitrogen narcosis :lol:








Coming back up


boat!


other belize dives:
looking up a wall


funny creatures if you look for them and know where to look :)




My good old Suunto Vyper.. this thing has saved my life a few times!

Great to see you around again Puffer!! :)

That blue hole belize, a dive there is a target in my life!! :) Amazing, a natural wonder!!

But I`d say, most of the eye candy in the mediterranean is on the shallows, big fish are found deeper but less to see to see the more deep you go. Dive around 5m and its wonderworld with things swimming everywhere! :)

Any other divers here know what it's like to truly get narced?


Man I was penetrating this WW2 wreck with no guide lines following some native dude :lol:.. at 145ft for a few minutes wiggling through some shit. Like the creepiest most mind blowing thing ever, wiggling through a grave site trippin on nitrogen.



It's like the extreme nitrogen level fraction..... like because at depth you breathe air at a pressure from the water above you... so at 90 feet it's almost like taking 3 deep breaths of air for every 1 at surface... as a result you run through air faster at depth, and the amount of nitrogen in your lungs increases.... this is called 'nitrogen narcosis' and FUCKS your shit up... like no sense of time, very difficult and strenuous to think.... hard to see.... blinded judgement........ and you just want to go a little deeper :lol:


hard to explain if your not a diver

Hahahaha my diving instructor gave an overview explanation of nitrogen narcosis. He said when you look at you buddy you can just see him smiling under the mask :D Nice dive story verde :D

Yeah belize can def be deadly if you succomb to the stupidity of being narced and continue following that wall 2300 feet down to the ocean floor. Some people do!

Some chick jumped off a boat over what she thought was a 40ft deep reef. Her light never turned on (she didn't check, idiot) and she didn't have a backup (idiot again)

So I jump in and see this dim glostick at about 90 feet in pitch black water... nothing else is visible, not the ground or surface of the water.. I start heading to this glostick, mind you we are diving nitrox, an oxygen enriched gas mixture that becomes deadly to breathe at 140ft realisticly. They tell you not to exceed 120ft. I found this chick at 130, sinking like a rock, with no light, headed for a 2,000 foot bottom, about to succoomb to oxygen posioning at any minute.

I grabbed that bitch, grabbed her buoyancy compensator, filled her BC with a shot of air to keep us from sinking.. brought us up to 90 ft and prepped her to ascend by herself.

Thankfully I ripped off my backup light (ALWAY CARRY IT), gave it to her, illuminated her depth gauge (she probably shit herself) and told her to abort the dive. She did LOL and I almost did too because quite frankly it scared me.

After the dive she said she thought she jumped over the shallow reef. When her light didn't turn on she said she thought she would sink until her fins touched the coral and she could get something working. What a BAD idea :lol:

I think that was her last night dive :lol: she was married on a trip with her husband and they both came to thank me quite explicitly.


Thought a few of you guys would enjoy that story

What a story Señor.. You saved a life. A family. Cheers to you, Brother. You were meant to be there and then. Fucking Incredible. A fucking hero.

:lol: the couple thanked me but I'm not sure if at the time realized how close it was... maybe they do now :lol:


Like I had a flashlight to my depth gauges the whole time I was ready to abort if it got past 130.... I didn't want to risk my life too!

If you succomb to oxygen poisoning you wont even know it at the time, just BOOM seizure loose mouth piece and drown...

is oxygen poisoning the same thing as the bends sr verde?? if so, that looks like some very nasty stuff from what i've seen..
just a lil side info..
did you know the man who built the brooklyn bridge died from the bends after he went down to do some work on it?? he was sick for awhile afterwards, and watched the progress of the build from his apartment building before he eventually passed and his wife went on to be the one to take his place.. i thought it was a pretty cool story when i heard it..

I haven't seen puffer around :( and you folks like diving so i'm just posting some more pics i pulled off my other computer


these are from some tropical wreck diving...


I did quite a lot of penetration but straight up I didn't want to bring a camera. Your squeezing between old rusted out piping inside an engine room with bombs and shit that will explode if you fuck with them on the surface..... so yeah :lol: i doubt youd see anything on my simple camera.


I did however bring a camera and did a video recording for one of the lesser penetrations..



I mean when your taking your gear off to wiggle inside the cargo bay of a 500ft cargo supply boat, your not trying to bring a camera :lol:

no.... the bends is decompression sickness...


when you breathe air at depth the nitrogen builds up in your body and is forced into your tissues.....

If you surface too fast then this gas doesn't get the opportunity to dissipate... This results in bubbles of nitrogen in your blood stream which can be very dangerous and requires emergency evacuation to a decompression chamber.

To avoid decompression sickness you take deco stops when you have exceeded a certain amount of time past a certain depth (there are dive tables/computers for this)... you take stops and wait at certain depths to let the nitrogen safely dissipate.


Oxygen toxicity is a totally different thing.... It occurs when you add more OXYGEN to your breathing air. This means less nitrogen, too. Which is a good thing if you want to dive around 100-110 feet but want to avoid the bends or decompression stops.



OXYGEN poisoning (aka oxygen toxicity) happens when your partial pressure of o2 exceeds 1.6..... recreationally your supposed to stay below 1.4 but I've gone to like 1.5 (my computer was FREAKING out at me :lol:)

Partial pressure indicates how much oxygen is in a given amount of air volume ( i'm pretty sure) so when the oxygen becomes SO rich from the pressurization it becomes posionous. It's not possible to have oxygen toxicity at sea level, because the oxygen you breathe into your is not compressed by any water above you.
