But.. I thought the whole appeal of free-diving was the independence, and the connection with the marine animal and plant life around. I just don't see how clinging onto a metal pole while it whizzes you down to a target depth, and then whizzing back up to the surface... Is in this spirit.
Seems to me this isn't about free-diving, but about a holding-your-breath contest.

Very lame!

2:30 does he moves his hand??

@1Shiznit I believe as sort of "backup". If lift would stuck in bettween, he may use fins to kick to surface. Having bare feet would not be as effective.

WOW uhm no
you only get DCS if you inhale at that depth sorry :)

its a compitional element of the sport which at the far involves overcoming pressure and depth barriers
Decompression sickness?

@Zeamus634 Decompresion sickness is not possible while freediving. He just faced hardware problem as the lift seem just stuck. It's quite impressive that he stays cold-blooded for all the time and do not try to do anything by himself.

@Borszczuk It is possible to get decompression sickness while free diving. It just doesn't apply here.

@Aurora7N It's quite unlikely to happen there too, unless you are pear hunter doing 50-100 short dives a day with very short surface interval. Combination of such factors would cause health problems called Taravana, with symptoms close to DCS. However unless you meet these "requirements" it's quite "safe" to claim as I did - "you can't get DCS while freediving".

is freediving just getting a snorkel mask and diving underthe water .. but surely not because how could you hold your breath for so long
