William, what is the music behind this video? Would you tip me a name? A great piece!

[guitargenius1234]

This is true Will-Power....



[esj8341]

Good grief.  Amazing accomplishment.

[JAJ4455]

You guys are absolutely insane. Nery and Trubridge...WTF! Does anyone appreciate the athleticism and the pure audacity of these guys? I free dove once...back when...weight belt, fins, mask...I made it to 100 ft. and I was in shape then. And no...this is not like a free ascent. These guys are expending energy on the descent. It's like watching free climbers. These guys are magnificent misfits. Jeez...Props to you Wm. Trubridge. I expect that someone else is going to challenge your record...

[metelfann3]

I could go deeper than that but i wouldnt make it back up

[CadenBurleson]

I dove to the bottom of my tub...

[FueledByTyeler]

why doesn't he ever equalize his ears?

[bilbodickbaggins]

@FueledByTyeler he wears something like a rubber band on his nose so he doesn't have to move his body at all for decompressing

.

[gillettecrackers]

@FueledByTyeler There's a lot of ways to equalize.  You don't have to use the nose-holding method. You can swallow, move your jaw, and use other equalization techniques.

[Snow4LifeNEver]

@FueledByTyeler

Maybe he does, you can equalize without pinching your nose. There's a jaw moving method but if you're good enough I guess you could simply push the air in the right direction.

[EllyMcCormack]

This guy is amazing. Freediving is so beautiful.

[AnyboyHelpMe]

marry me.

[thedriftmc]

Dude. You are amazing. A role model for all us aspiring divers... long live the world of the Free Diver! True diving at it's best!

[Pinzledick]

God damned...thats cool!

[napalm940]

Wow.You guys are awesome.

[Rhincodontypus1]

How the hell does he do this without equalizing the air spaces in his goggles?

[Hubris73]

@Rhincodontypus1 He may be using liquivision goggles. They are filled with a saline solution with a lens on the front so you can see clearly. With no air there is no need to equalize. I cant tell for sure if thats what he is using here but I know alot of deep freedivers use them.

[JhhrGus]

(notice that is the record free Immersion, wich is free diving using a rope during the descend and ascent)

[JhhrGus]

At april 10th 2011, he reached 121 m (396.98 ft) :O amazing

[bigvalleypr]

Simply amazing, great quality video..!!

[btsmanman]

I feel guilty breathing while he's doing this.

[jkkdjf123]

The reason why he isn't getting the bends (That is what happens when nitrogen bubbles build up in your blood stream) is because he is holding his breath. For him to get the bends he would have to be breathing the same gas that scuba divers use. Which is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. The only thing happening to this man as he is going up is his ears would be popping like crazy.

[Lookafatkidrunning]

How Comes the Pressure doesnt give him nitrogen bubbles (or whatever) from coming up that fast?

[peterpiranha]

@Lookafatkidrunning I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's because he isn't breathing underwater. I think the air scuba divers breathe has more nitrogen, and it builds up in the blood vessels, which means they have to be careful when they surface, whereas he has only taken one breath on the surface so there is no build-up.

[12345RachelH]

I can barely dive 6 feet at my community pool!? Wtf!? Lmao :)

[falarious123]

whats that breathing thing he does right before he dives?

[chocomilk788]

@falarious123 He is hyperventilating in order to get more oxygen in his lungs, for a better, longer dive. Although not something I would recommend doing due to the fact you can pass out if its done wrong or to many times.

[3xpr1ment]

@chocomilk788 Τhis is not hyperventilation, Its called "packing" and its a technique to force more air into his lungs, more than his ribcage muscles can inhale. Of course this could be dangerous as well if you don´t know exactly what you are doing.

[SiegeRecordingsNZ]

so amazing.

[Ramishtine]

Amazing.....

[MRUndrwatrhuntr]

Amazing its good motivation for me

[whatdouthink96]

Dangit he needs to stop breaking his own records.

[dimbagdarrell1]

I got to live with this guy, hes so cool!

[Sportsboii751000]

Chuck Norris went to the core of the earth

[stop2hate]

You are great. 

[wilbeckj]

I can barely dive to 30 ft haha this is just amaizing

[JanGGuitarplayer]

Yes how you could dive with them and not with a mask?

[trailblazerification]

wouldnt those goggles kill his eyes because he isnt putting air in it to equalize like you do with a mask?

[hohol27]

NICE

[Platon7]

Best ever !!!

[hunter170782]

woooooooow imposible

[denisevargo]

So amazing and truly a testament to the human form and mind.

[dunnobutwayne]

scary as hell :D respect

[gladiatorfan1]

As of December 13,2010, he has now reached 100 meters.WOW!!!

[mib03]

William rules like always

[zloilosyara]

what about goggles?how come they don't pressurize?

[hazecheknutz]

@zloilosyara

he wears liquid goggles. they fill with water and his goggles have a special lens on them that can make him see and not worry about the changing pressure...

[naseeha]

Absolutely beyond all that I have imagined, I wish I could be his understudy.

No Fins is truly the purest form of the sport

[filipmajnoon]

good job! i wish u all the best with the hector project!

[FreediveUKvideos]

Amazing work. Congratulations!!!!!

[alexbrokke]

Damn he makes it look so easy :s ! Fantasic

[andver13]

Utterly amazing!! I still don't understand how you keep going deeper and deeper. I thought 88m was max! Isn't there a limit to what the human body can take?

[rasaely]

congratulation !! 

[MudRat02]

I can only just make 20m, can't even comprehend 95. Crazy.

I'm really curious about one thing, how did you pack so much air into your lungs man. So cool and so impressive! I wanna learn =(

[ProtagonistNonTheist]

So inspiring.

[AndrijaLambert]

The next would be 100m! Par excellence! XD

[bushbumming29]

I envy you. I love swimming and diving but my head would explode going that deep. I dont know how you do it.

[sagapo4]
