That sucks. Overconfidence can be a bad thing.

The bends does funny things to you, there is a lake near my old home that was 120 meters + deep and it kills at least 2 people a year due to the bends and cheap plastic gear freezing up. You get a massive drunk feeling then all kinds of shit can go wrong.
I used to dive at least twice a week untill I moved over here. Im sports diver certified BSAC
My dad carried on and now has an advanced nitrox certification, I never did mixed gas stuff.
You will probably be doing a PADI course and wont be going past 15 meters, at that depth you can be there untill your air runs out and just pop up to the surface
Deepest I ever went was 42 meters and that was enough for me

Not overconfident he just stayed to deep for too long and got nitrogen narcosis, he dint know where he was or what was going on by the time he hit the bottom.

Yes it's a PADI open water diver course
12 meters twice and 18 meters at the end twice,
by the way maybe this guy could save
his life if he dives with other friend?
I don't understand why he falls ,he was a well experienced diver
but seems that he has no control from the beginning of the immersion
in the other hand if you watch the second vid there's divers at 100
meters when the body of the girl appears,which are the differences
between the equipment of the fallen divers and the body rescue divers?

The buddy system is supposed to stop that and if diving by tables will not happen, much as in our sport machismo comes into play and people get badly hurt.

You can go down as fast as possible and still be completly safe, its the time you spend and how you are reacting to the dive that determins the success.
They were diving in a VERY deep place not a normal dive.
I guarantee these guys got into a bet/game and his buddy decided to bail out after they both got a little bent and only one noticed.

You can safely go to 100 m as long as you plan for it and have air and regulators hanging from the surface. Its a long time decompressing from a 3 min 100m dive.
And I think the second vid was mostly mini subs.

So the fact because he died was because he reached the bottom too fast?

No I think he was probably still a little bent from a prev dive and got into a contest of who can hit the bottom fastest on cam.
He put on a shitload of weights and went for it, I think about 1/2 way through the decent you can her him putting air in his BC and it not really slowing him, he inflates his BC to max and the pressure is still pushing him down. He hits bottom and drunk off his ass removes his reg (either for the camera or just bent).
Then bent off his ass cant find it, he is off his head with lack of oxygen and depth then he stops breating.
Sad but happens all over the world all the time, just not video'd.

As a serious note you cannot add 2+3 when bent.

As the guy at the end of the first video says:
"Sport?
Not worth it"
Thanks for the explanation Chris
