Not a fast way to go. I would not want to go that way. He went down like a rock. Make one wonder if there was a medical problem going on stopping him from having the ability do dump the camera and weights to rise back up?

yeahhh I'm a master scuba diver I don't know what that dude was thinking 
first he was hooked up to his tank, so on decent he could have filled up his jacket with air, making him rise... that or drop his weights. If he was over weighted he would have went back up
and past 100 feet most people start to get realllllly fucked up from nitrogen narcosis, it's almost like being completely shitfaced so he was probably tripping balls at 200 feet on air

That is truly one of the worst ways to die. It was INSANE watching the water turn from blue, to gray, to black... and then watching him walk around on the ocean floor. He was conscious for a very long time, I agree that it was a shout for help..... and those sounds were not sounds of him suffocating.... they were him trying to call for help.
Horrible.... RIP dude.... crazy way to die.
edit: The ocean floor looks like a a very eerie place to be stranded.

Is this like reverse bends?

this doesnt even touch on the craziest shit I ever heard diving
theres a book about a father and son dive team
VERY adventurous dudes, not super wealthy but very humble with good spirits. These guys were camping at a lake in a small tent with 2 nice tents holding an air compressor and all their gear. They would go down to the bottom of lakes wearing 2 tank setups to practice skills. Dedicated people.
Anyway they did a lot of deep cave diving, and eventually found this U Boat in the atlantic.. off like 20 miles from New Jersey (crazy shit right??) and they were diving on it, searching for a captains log. So they were swimming around this COLLAPSED submarine on AIR at like 200+ feet. Decompression times at like 3 hours. So they left a whole shit tonne of tanks around the side of the uboat, and the father waited outside while the son went in.. anyway some shit collapsed on the son, and after like 15 minutes the dad came in and found the kid. Took them a while to get the kid un pinned but by the time they did they stirred up ALL the silt and couldn't find their spare tanks. So, low on air they made the fatal decision to SURFACE from 240ft on AIR with NO decompression time rather than just drowning. They both came up, and the father died on the boat. The kid made it to a re compression chamber where he died shortly after..
Now that's some crazy shit.

Jesus H. Christ that's a fucking horrible decision. The bends over drowning?! The fuck I couldn't choose either, I'd dive knife myself in the face.
It's crazy to think there are so few Hyperbaric Chambers throughout the world... I guess now they have tiny ones for single people, but last time I went to Wrigley's Marine Biology center on Catalina Island, that huge, walk in, chamber was like 1 of ~4 in the US. I can't imagine that much pain... and having to be taken to like 1 of so few places in the world to get better.

yaahhhhhh
i've done like 160 I think... but on air anything past that is a lotta deco and I try to stay away from that.. I've done like 128 feet on like 33% o2 pushing it there a bit.. but yeah anything past that is like trimix and closed circuit re breathers which im not trying to mess with imagine diving malasia, Indonesia, fiji..but actually they were decently close to something I think didn't take too long. The one that died was doing well but for some reason died I forget what.. like a few hours into re-compression

Right! If I want to go that deep, I'll buy a personal submersible...
