Cant get my head around this..

Is this where the hype surrounding social media stunts needs reigning in? Firstly, was his choice to propose underwater driven by the desire to become popular on the internet?
And she films it, flims her reaction, and answer, and posts that to the Facebook.........before realising that he has not surfaced...? WTF?

Surely her first priority would be her fiancé rather than posting it all to Facebook?

Darwin seems to be getting some help nowadays with these stupid stunts. What a fked up world some people seem to want to live in.

I don't think you have got your head around it

She posted the video and the tribute after he had died

Not how I read it? maybe they updated it, it, said that she filmed the proposal and her reaction saying yes yes yes. then uploaded that to Facebook. Then an update to say he was dead.
If you are saying she did them two separate things after she knew he was drowned, that is pretty fked up. She's pretty much just filmed him dying and put it on facebook!

how deep? the bloke had flippers, down max a few minutes yet dead, just seems a bit odd.

That's what I thought too. Electric eel perhaps ?

I agree that people do silly things for likes but what he did was in the realms of what people always did for proposals

I personally wouldn't want to post his last few moments after he had died but i know many others who would.

ive found a video, it looks abut 3-4 metres down so might have just been too far, very sad really.

It's possibly to dive down over 100m, something else has to have happened, you could completely exhale and still be fine at that depth.

It's nothing to do with depth but about what Mojooo posted. A guy I was at school with died while attempting to do a lap of a backyard pool (ie not a very long distance) underwater due to the same reason.

Not uncommon. A snorkeller on a dive boat I was on died from this. Hyperventilated before going down.

A scuba diver found him at about 5 metres depth.

hyperventilation screws up the body’s natural reaction to running low on oxygen.

You can’t scuba dive to 100m unless running on very specialised mixed gas. And have a lot of decompression stops.

Most divers use different gas below around 50m.
