Overview
- The Mirror US and Daily Star republished the footage from Lipski’s helmet camera, recorded during his solo descent into Egypt’s Blue Hole on April 28, 2000.
- Unnamed experts cited in the reports say Lipski likely suffered nitrogen narcosis around 91 meters, impairing judgment during the dive.
- Technical diver Tarek Omar says he urged Lipski to complete two weeks of training before filming the site, a recommendation he says was declined.
- Lipski’s body and camera were recovered the following morning, and the video captures the rocky seabed and his labored breathing.
- Reports revisit the Blue Hole’s hazards, describing a roughly 100-meter sinkhole linked in media accounts to as many as 200 deaths, and note Omar’s recovery work and a separate 2002 cave case later judged likely a suicide.
