This video was originally shared in a discussion about scuba diving accidents. I am sharing a shortened version here, but the full video can easily be found on YouTube and other sites.
Scuba diving scares the shit out of me. And watching this video, it is the same feeling as dying on a far away planet. Nothing in the environment supports human life. Sheer panic.

Pedro Carbo, Guayas, Ecuador - Jul, 2018
This is the horrifying moment a tourist plunged to his death in the background as a rapper filmed a music video.
The shocking clip shows Ecuadorian artist Don Day filming a video for hit song Hablando con la Luna at the bottom of the Laguna Salto de Oro waterfall.
But in the background a figure can be seen plummeting from the top of the falls after appearing to slip.
The man slams into the water, sparking a frenzied rescue attempt from Don Day's crew.
According to witnesses, the victim was part of a tourist group who had nothing to do with the production of the video.
There was a group of tourists jumping from the top of a waterfall and one of them, despite the warnings, launched himself - and manged to re-surface, said onlookers.
Shooting of the music video was then suspended.
The victim was identified as Carlos Pontoon, 33, who drowned after throwing himself from the top of the waterfall in an 'adventure challenge'.
He was declared dead on arrival at a local hospital.
