Answer: Free diving and Swallow water blackout The discussed articles emphasized about Snorkeling, free diving and their bad effects. The articles also discussed about various view points of experts, and people who nearly experienced the dangers of free diving. With the help of equipment, a diving mask, the process of swimming in the surface of water is known as Snorkeling (Yang et al., 2013). It comprises of Fins, suits, masks, glasses which helps a swimmer for a clear vision and smooth swimming. Without these equipments accidents occur. The article begins with the death of a 19 year old boy, who was free diving and decided to go down for more fish and finally end up dying out of breath. According to his peers he was a fit and fine diver, he surfaced into the Mexican gulf around 8 miles. What he did during the accident was diving without air mask. Despite of sufficient equipments available swimming without these has been an allure to most people and this causes accidents. Shallow water blackout is one of the symptoms that occur for people who free dive without equipments. It is the time when a diver loss his consciousness by hypoxia at the end of their last breathe (Shallowwaterblackoutprevention.org, 2015). At that time the swimmer doesnt feel the urgency of breathing and it is caused due to hyperventilation of several breath deep breaths before diving (Shallowwaterblackoutprevention.org, 2015). In the case of Shallow water blackout as discussed in the article, a student named Josh Chol was capable for holding his breath for almost three minutes. He went along with his family in Florida for Spear fishing in the Keys. The Keys are famous for coral formation and they are saltwater where the student had Shallow water blackout (Council, 2015). Saltwater consist variable temperatures, buoyancy and density and the currents these all leads to certain drawback in swimming. In the time of the accident his family member had a little clue of what has happened to him. This is partially a fault of his family members, no matter how much experienced a person is, even expert dies pout of Shallow water blackout. Chols cousin had an alarm when he saw him come up for air. That was the last time he saw Josh Chol. He not only mourned for the loss but he also felt that the underworld environment of foreign places is not easy to get complacent. If one person fails he doesnt get a second chance. In another incident, two brothers, Robert and David were surfacing in Biscaynne bay, which is a lagoon. It is 35 miles long and 8 miles wide in the Atlantic coast (Discoverbiscaynebay.org, 2015). At one point one of them became unconscious and even the other also running out of breath. Still the y somehow managed to swim up and was floating with down face. The severe condition was that both of them turned black. David the younger brother felt very peaceful while he was drowning. This incident led Richardson become an advocate in safe free diving.
