  • I think you went a little too far with exploding lungs. In scuba diving it sure can happen but not while freediving - volume of inhaled air is always less or equal of the initial volume before dive. As for the rest - sure you can blackout. That's why it's emphasized to always dive with assist. Understanding own limits is crucial. having all this in mind and following correct procedures I don;t think it's more dangerous than skiing or motor biking. I just hate the way they put it in this video.

  • It's implode. They can't explode when not using bottles.

  • Free diving plus a million years and some good old evolution and we may just have a real life Aquaman.

  • good point JLLK009, there are better dive stories and videos on the net. try the myscubastory site. type "dive stories" into google and its like the 12th result, on the 1st or 2nd page of google... youll find other good dive story pages but i think the myscubastory site is better as its dedicated to dive stories, accidents, sharks and videos - good luck

  • That turtles probably died =[

  • I think after about 5 minutes underwater you can get brain damage amge ama........

  • 1:36 Don't touch the turtles dumb ass.

  • Dude you have to equalize usually you just blow while you plug your nose and mouth but with practice you can do it with a alight move of your jaw... Similar to yawning

  • how do they cope with pressure? If i dive just a few meters I already have pain, can I overcome this? what helps?

  • @Ogotaj how right !!! yeah !

  • @Georgianish Pop them at 5 meters before they hurt, and then continue to pop them occasionally afterwards
