Man Die's Clam Diving

It does sound horrible...

I'm sure diving is amazing, but this is why I snorkel. I once tried to free-kick down about 20 feet while snorkelling and I popped my left eardrum... hurt like a mo-fo.


So instead, I sit on the boat with rod and reel and try to bring the undersea life to me...

There are a few flaws with this story. If his weights were on the bottom bringing him up would not be an issue. need the weight to stay down. Secondly once you surface there is almost no way to de-compress without a hyperbaric chamber. Third you can stay down as long as you want being he was on surface supplied air you just have to plan accordingly and do all of your safety stops along the way. Sounds to me more like he suffered from a Pulmonary barotrauma from to rapid of an ascent or holding breath while ascending.
