William Trubridge 101m CNF World Record Freedive

[Hillrocker]

is he fucking insane? with the Pressure and these glasses he will loose his eyesight!!!!

[DreJr]

Amazing

[deltafour1212]

I can do that!

[bmlawesome]

wanna see the view from the gopro...

[Absolutesolvency]

Amazing =)

[NewmanNugget]

4:36 those r some serious fins lol

[CRAZYNINJA051]

With no fins......... thats how you do it

[henryk8675309]

holds his breath for 4 minutes underwater. While swimming 101 meters. Thats freaking insane.

[Kiddinx]

@henryk8675309 Acutally it is 202 meters (101 m in one direction ... down and up). ;)

[lateinabwaehler93]

@henryk8675309 Yeah it is, and his dive went down to 101 m, so he was smimming 202 m ;)

[alienodio]

@lateinabwaehler93 falling is to jumping as sinking is to swimming. something like that anyways

[adammorrissey]

In freedive competition you have to take a tag off the disc (about 3.01 in the vid) on the rope to prove you went to the depth. Presume that's what he throws at the end.

[magib0p]

what does he throw at the end? is it an armband or something

[mirtaet123]

@magib0p It's a winner's prize. )) 101 meter mark tag. To prove that you've been on that depth, you must bring it up. Look how he is kidding and show it with some pause.

[GphelpsGAB]

That's just amazing, i wanna go to dean's blue hole in bahamas!

[Thelastdragonfly]

breathtaking literally! It takes a lot courage and practice to do this!

[MrWassup28]

GO GO GO to the new zealanders!!

[TheMikimel]

5:55 what is batman doing there?

[pat64ism]

This dude is my idol! He is bad to the bone.

[alexILMN]

what kind of breathing technique is he doing on 0.51 - 0.58?

[iamblood9963]

@alexILMN unofficially called breath packing. When you reach max breath capacity, or what your body says is enough, you can fill your mouth with air and almost swallow it. Allowing you to literally fill your lungs, its painful at first, but with practice it becomes semi natutral

[iamblood9963]

@alexILMN lower the heart rate as much as possible, stay relaxed, and have a large amount of oxygen to burn through

[46Karizma]

gives me goose bumps..i was scared for the first time i was -50m..zero vis..at least i had my surface supplied air n kirby ..this is way beyond my imagination ..o rather beyond godlike ..what mental preparation and determination ..!!!!!

[SnowWalkerPrime]

That was beautiful.

[TVsidan]

I want his body and mental strength!!

[harry346471655]

Hey, guys where is the same video with other music! It was here! Thanks

[yasir1518]

outclass really near to impossible

congratulations

[nalacktack112]

i hope the zombies cant dive...

[Extremegulpska]

Truely Amazing.

[hpasschier1986]

how did you managed to '' clear'' his ears on this dept?

[danglerdutton]

@hpasschier1986

[habbolazoxd]

¿Cómo se produjo ese agujero?

[furiogt1]

CHE FENOMENO KE E', MERAVIGLIOSO

[SNEM0SDN5]

:O

[manitulation]

One of the most amazing human beings alive to date.

[Kokoblico]

Amazing...

[hanaryukoku]

when it started to get darker, I got a little scared. this is pretty cool though

[jeswise]

I've been searching for days for the song/music on this video. It is not the original music set to this video- there is another version of the video that has some Hans Zimmer on it, but I want to know what this one is. Does anyone have a clue? Someone had to change the audio track, so someone knows!

[ValAktaion]

He looks like bear grylls. Certainly behaves like bear grylls!

[amfikz]

free sinking :)

[Ramblingfishwarrior]

Wow. Seriously amazing stuff Mr Trubridge!

[TheFixedgear666]

Unglaublich schönes Video.Das strahlt so eine Ruhe aus.Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

[Squiddogga]

noone ever gives a shit about the cameraman.

he did the same thing as old mate Trubridge - WITH A CAMERA!

GATHER ROUND HIM!!

[Nickk2332]

@Squiddogga and with a diving suite and plenty of oxigen

[kris7001]

@Squiddogga fool, the camerman if it even was a man used an oxygen tank

[ladybirdskaterboy]

@Squiddogga thats because he was probably using SCUBA

[metelfann3]

I dove to the bottom of my bath tub why don't I get any thing

[thedahman1]

is it in sea !!!

[rodsmyboy]

YOWSER!!!!! That is truly an awesome feat!

[Molhedim]

as a persone who doesnt know how to swim ....this is scarry.

[harry346471655]

He hold his breath on 6min exatly!... WOOOW he must be very very caml.. good job William... But i dont understand... What about his brain o_0?

[gcapuano121]

un po' sambato all'uscita;)

[EXMR84]

I do spearfishing and I understand what he did! It's amazing! ... you will shit the crap out of yourself when you are at 100m! the pressure is so high, and the worst have to come! during the dive you feel well cause of the pressure that trick your body let him feel more oxigen than real! during the climb the reduction of pressure will reduce the concentration of oxigen in your body ... the last meters are the most dangerous! ... this man is realy brave! BRAVO!

[ForcingYou]

holy shit :O

[thedriftmc]

Regulating the ascent must have been so hard. My father was a competition spearfisher way back when, and perforated his eardrum ascending too fast. He taught me to free dive at age 16. I'm now 37 and living in Indonesia.. but I am way way off any kind of competition standard. The corals out here are incredible, however. =)

[kilhao]

Human Shark ...

[MissSilverwolf90]

very awesome! fantastic!

[callmewestern]

Do you have to come back up for it to count? I could go down pretty far, but no promises on coming back up.

[TheFlojj]

What is the name of the soundtrack?

[bgielink]

Could anybody please tell which music is used for this video? Shazam and Soundhound both don't know it. It sounds a bit Roger Subirana Mata like..

[MrCameljammer]

superhuman. 

[stylistar]

is he even human?

[iiiixxivxviii]

Amazing. Does anyone know how he manages this without causing standard diving injuries like decompression sickness? Over surfacing over 300 feet in just over 2 min. should cause some serious problems!

[icx2310]

@iiiixxivxviii thats in scuba diving, this is freediving. when scuba diving you need to decompress because you are breathing oxygen underwater, and it would expand if you rose too quickly, because of decreasing pressure

[BarrellyRoll]

@iiiixxivxviii the pressure in his lungs and body is from the surface, so coming back up to the surface there is no problem (I may be wrong, I have limited knowledge of diving)

[Tomi858]

@iiiixxivxviii If he doesnt breath in water problems with desompression cant be. His lungs are full of breath with pressure of surface.... only thing is ears that he must dealing pressure but only on the way down

[setchemati]

@iiiixxivxviii not a risk of decompression sickness only in scuba diving, the body readjusts on its own and these guys open up there sinuses and flood them with water to stay the same pressure as the water around them.

[Slurpenstein]

Unbelievable, incredible, awesome... respect!

but he will die famous sometime...

[donnrfl]

unbelievably awesome

[slabakiox]

I can only say one word for this fantastic brave diver: IDIOT

[dodgydogman]

@slabakiox why? He had other divers with flippers ready to help if anything goes wrong...

[AkIl2a]

Very Good bro .

[supertaj1800]

He would kick ass at marco polo

[alexblurr13]

Please post the name of the song.. or who made the music !

[emobest78]

OMG !!!

[dancar1234]

desperately want to know where/who the music is composed by, I agree, makes this seriously epic, tried shazam, no luck, please author?

[MrTrutl]

@dancar1234

i dont know abot the music here but i would put "Oneohtrix Point Never - Gray-Level Objects Describing Bio Layers" in the background

[coolfuka]

Bah no credits to who made the music :( anyone know?

[N4thanael]

Sweden wants the music.

Also: Great video!

[TheSuperexistence]

What is this music from?

[Glimworm1]

Freedivers don't get decompression sickness because the air in their lungs contains as much nitrogen as normal atmosphere, they have one 'breath' and take it down and up.

Divers breathe air under pressure, so when you go down 10 metres, you're breathing double the amount of oxygen and nitrogen, the last of which disolves in your body under the ambient pressure. If you move up, the pressure lowers so you get something akin to opening a bottle of cola. It wants to fizz out.

[Glimworm1]

God, the music makes this movie a real piece of art. I love watching (and re-watching) this. The grace of the extra freedivers joining in at the ascent, the way the sun starts to filter through the deep waters while ascending and the knowledge of how much this is a thing of pure willpower. I love it. What kind of music is this?



[BIGBaNGThaiTOP]

woooow omg

[ValAktaion]

how many times did you breath when watching this

[amfikz]

crazy

[tthomson1]

that was the longest 4 mintues of my life

[me2atyou]

starting at 1:45 it looks like he is not doing any swimming moves at all, hows that? is he pulled down?? because at his feet there is a mark on the line, which seems to move down with him.....doesn't make this record any less impressive, was just wondering because I don't think there is a depth where a body (even if you don't breathe in before diving) goes down instead of floating to the surface

[BilldalSWE]

@me2atyou The body loses it's buoyancy on those depts since all the air in lungs and airways are compressed. You can compare this with the air in your west while scubadiving . When you are decending you actually have to inflate your west to compensate for the compression and slow of your decent. A full west at the surface is only half full att 10 meters. As for him not having to swim on his way down imagine how much harder it is on his way up =) Hope this answers your question!

[meheh]

The newest version of this video is done. It's more in-depth and beautiful. Keep a look out for it! It's in private at the moment going through the festival circuit, but it'll pop it's head up at some point within the next few months :)

[LiberatedPenny]

i can hold my breath for like 20 seconds lol. he is the man!

[mulpacha]

Why doesnt he get decompression sickness?

[PartiallyRibena]

@mulpacha Because he wasn't down there for long enough so there wasn't enough time for air to dissolve in his blood stream at that pressure, so none to come out of solution when he de pressurised.

I am not certain, but I think that is why. 

[Norgemannen]

@mulpacha Because he did not breathe under water... Imagne the air he breaths at the surface gets compressed in his veins as he swims further down and he as he goes up the molecules will only return to their original size.

[johnalega]

Man...That's insane. Good job.

[Cayhem]

Arm Movement seems awkward, what`s the reason for it?

[megapaulie]

@Cayhem its more efficient

[punkerboy937]

...wow...

[ExampleGamer]

thumbs up if you tried to hold your breathe with him

[pasionxbox360]

@ExampleGamer

im not tried, im gotit, hold breath 3:40minutes

[aixem]

The human body ....

[rubnayr]

Imagine splashing him in the face just as he comes up. HAHA prank.

[rubnayr]

Amyone else hold their breath for about the first 10 seconds?

[probrood]

who else tried holding their breath as long as he did

[Pimpjit85]

@probrood Holding your breath is only part of it, the difficult part is minimizing the use of oxygen. Absolutely amazing that he could swim 100m vertically and not deplete his body of oxygen within 30 seconds let alone go into convulsions. Amazing feat & beautiful what the human body can do...

[MrZombiekeks]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Respect...very taff

[jjooohhhaaannn]

he was just under the water in 4:10 min.

[AhmedMundi]

great free diver

[kanellis77]

samba but great dive though

[patmanser]

best freedive ever performed.

[MegaANDREI1982]

круто

[SingleBreath]

I can't seem to watch this enough times. Great job, incredible feat etc. just doesn't cut it.. You're outta this world my friend.. :)
