that must be THE coolest thing. to swim with coral reefs with no goggles or bulky swimsuits.

I've seen a lot of videos about things that are considered abnormal today and have been astounded by the fact that the majority of humans (before civilization as we know it) could do these things; I regret that i have missed out on all these skills and can't help thinking that the Human race is weak these days. We rely too much on our technology and ignore our own natural abilities; it's sad really.

@dnguyen11 Sea water is neutral to your eyes, your eyes take absolutely no damage to seawater. Salty seawater is even used for eye medication.

I'm 18, i wonder if i could learn how to do this. I can open my eyes in the sea just fine, but i can't see with "extreme clairty".
He said their pupils let in less light for them to see, so i wonder if we can train our eyes to do this with sun-glasses on under water.
Why couldn't i have seen this video when i was 3 or 5 :/

who cares about clarity. How do they resist the salty sea water in the first place? Fucking osmosis.
