Beyond 57 metres, divers face oxygen toxicity, a condition particularly pertinent to those venturing to conquer the arch. Symptoms include tunnel vision, tingling sensations, and, in severe cases, seizures or fainting that can result in drowning.
One tragic case in the Blue Hole's history is that of Yuri Lipski, a diving instructor who entered its depths in the year 2000 and never came back. His helmet camera recovered later, provided insights into his ill-fated dive. The footage revealed that, at approximately 91 metres, nitrogen narcosis took hold, causing Yuri to sink to the depths of the Blue Hole.

Incident captured on CCTV and shared on social media, a young boy nearly drowned in a private pool in Hua Hin after slipping out of his inflatable ring.
The video shows a group of children playing in the pool, including the victim's older brother and their friends. Initially, no one noticed the young boy's struggle as he submerged silently. The danger was only noticed when one of the children alerted the group.
Parents, engaged in conversation by the poolside, were oblivious to the unfolding drama until a shout from one of the older children altered them to incident. The video reveals a quick-reacting boy diving into the water to rescue his younger brother, pulling him to the surface just in time.
A family member immediately administered first aid, which helped to expel water from the child's lungs and airways. The prompt action restored the boy's breathing, and he regained consciousness, though he complained about feeling pain with each breath.
The child was rushed to Hua Hin Hospital, which the child's parents said was commendably equipped and staffed. The doctors' quick assessment and treatment were crucial; an X-ray confirmed his lungs were filled with water, necessitating a night in the ICU. Fortunately, his condition stabilized, and after a three-day hospital stay, he fully recovered without further complications.
Moral of the story: Watch your kids, bruh.

Morbi, Gujarat, India - Oct 30, 2022
More than 50 children are among 135 people killed in Sunday's bridge collapse in India's Gujarat state, according to a list of victims published by state authorities on Wednesday.
Investigators are examining why the historic suspension bridge in the town of Morbi collapsed, sending dozens of people into the river below, in one of the worst public safety tragedies to hit the country in recent years.
Questions have been raised about how the narrow walkway collapsed and the role of an electrical manufacturing company tasked with maintaining the colonial-era structure, which only reopened to the public last week after repairs.
Here's what we know.
What happened?
Some 200 people are estimated to have been on the bridge across the Machchhu River in the town of Morbi when it collapsed on October 30 at around 6:30 p.m. local time, according to Gujarat authorities.
According to figures released Wednesday, 54 children were among the dead. Most were under 10 years old – the youngest was a 2-year-old boy.
A 36-second video clip shared by the Morbi District Administration via CNN affiliate News-18 shows a large crowd of young men gathered on the bridge in the moments before it collapsed.
The video appears to show some of the men shaking the bridge from side to side before the structure gives way, plunging the people standing on it into the river.
Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi said on October 31 that a cable appeared to have snapped.
Photos from the aftermath show people gathering on the riverbank beside the mangled metal walkway, which hung at a sharp angle into the water.
What witnesses say
Survivors and witnesses of the deadly incident described scenes of chaos.
"People were hanging from the bridge after the accident, but they slipped and fell into the river when it collapsed,” Raju, a witness who gave only one name, told Reuters. “I could not sleep the entire night as I had helped in the rescue operation. I brought a lot of children to the hospital.”

Narendrasinh Jadeja, whose friend lost seven members of his family, including four children, told Reuters: “I cannot express how angry and helpless I am feeling.”
What we know about the bridge
The Morbi Suspension Bridge was built during British rule around 1900 and is 230 meters (755 feet) long and just 1.25 meters (4 feet) wide.
For decades, it's been a popular tourist attraction in the riverside town, whose cobblestone streets carry the architectural legacy of colonial rule.
The bridge was closed for six months of renovations in April, according to the managing director of Oreva, a Gujarat-based electrical appliances manufacturer that oversaw the maintenance work.
At a reopening ceremony on October 26, the managing director told reporters the structure would not need any major work for “eight to 10 years,” according to a video of the event posted to social media.
