The Byford Dolphin decompression accident comes up in these type of discussions a lot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin#Diving_bell_accident due to the graphic descriptions of what happens to a human body when you got from 9 atmospheres of pressure to 1 in a split second:"Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.[5]"

let it mellow posted:They also made a point early on about him being an instructor. That's meaningless. I'm a lowly rescue diver, my wife's a lowly AOW, but we have dove with instructors both much more knowledgeable than us and instructors that were incredibly unsafe - it's entirely possible to get instructor cert within about a month. In aviation it's well known that one of the most dangerous crew setups is two pilot instructors, since they will likely be complacent and both assume that the other one is going to do some vital task which inevitably ends up going unchecked. Sea related content: This is what happens when an elderly non-combat ship gets hit with a modern anti-ship missile. Spoilers: it doesn't end well for the ship.
