  • It whould be to dangerous if he take another breath in 58m depth !!

    So it was a single breath !

  • do you breath oxygen before enter in the arch? it seem like you stop before the arch, take another breath and continue your dive. Its nice but that is 2 breaths no one single...i know for william t., herbert nitch and natlia m. do this thing but i never heard about you...

  • but it'll only work above ~25m depth because sooner or later you're lungs are fully compressed. to go deeper than that you have to use other techniques like bloodshifting.

  • Nice :) Why did he use mono?

  • I do many sports apart from diving like cycling, running and climbing. I prefer sports that involve more cardio fitness than strength. I think people who have trained to be bodybuilders have trained there body to be strong and have good physique rather than fit, and there body isnt really trained right for diving etc...divers are not bodybuilder bacause diving doesnt require great physique or strength, it requires great cardio-fitness and mental strength. hope that helped. :)

  • I want some of what fantaz is smoking.

  • but there is somthing here that really i want an answer for it why body builders dont free dive ? why they even dont scuba dive ? why freedivers dont climb mountains ? why u dont rock climb ? do u ride motorcycles and jumb over horses ? and if not why not ? is the human body limited ? only can do one function ?

  • But i wanna know somthing why divers are not bodybuilders and why bodybuilders dont climb mountains and why divers do dive and dont wind surf ??? does every one of this got a special body or a special physique u know i am a medical student but i couldnt find this in medicine why u can just do one thing in ur life and be happy about it ? is it coz of the limitation of the human body skills or what please answer me this coz am soo confused ,, do u ride motorcycles and horses ?

  • It's all about training really mate, practice equalization techniques if you plan to dive deeper or you'll hurt your ears. I think cardio-vascular fitness will help with the breath holding part. Anybody can freedive if they practice enough, i suggest reading up on how the body adapts when underwater, mammalian diving reflex is the main thing, it helped me become a better diver knowing the science behind it.

  • WTF i'm not a diver, so don't ream me if this is not new technology...k? but that flipper thing is BADASS!! it's like a mermaid, only real. is this a new concept? (ppl have probably done this for zillions of years, huh? sometimes, i feel so out of the loop. TGFyoutube)
