-well,i was 15, in the high school...
-and what if felt like?

Nice
I think its geared pretty much toward new/young divers.

I think the video helps portray SWB in a way that newer &/or younger divers may relate to.

The divers aren't actors. They are real divers who experienced real blackout. They are best suited to explain their experience.

It may take a couple "and then what happened" questions to encourage their story. But there is real value in this. Especially if it helps one diver avoid blackout. I'm glad to see it and hope that many divers view it and send it to friends.

Great video, thanks to the makers and the OP. So many of my spearo buddies still don't believe that SWB exists.. (preparing email to send vid link to them...)

I didn't want to undermine the value of the clip, just gave the view of a newer, and probably younger diveri believe we all young and not so young (if we have done our homework) know the dangers of BO. But there will always be people diving without a buddy and ignoring safety measures. and very-very often, ignorance is not the reason for this behavior.
