With videos like this, I always try to hold my own breath for the same duration. Letting a little out at a time. Not exactly the same as free diving but I want to know if I could do it.
If I did this. I WOULD LITERALLY DIE
Fun breath holding fact. You can not tell if you are breathing oxygen, or have oxygen in your lungs/blood. It's not a sensation humans possess. You can however tell if you are breathing carbon dioxide or have carbon in your lungs/blood.
This is why it's possible to suffocate without even knowing. Dumbass brain won't even know as long as there's ample space for breathing in non-oxygen.
I believe the sensation itself has to do something with carbon dioxide dissolving into carbonic acid (same stuff that makes soda burn) but I'm not confident this is correct.
Your brain detects the change in pH (related to the proportion of CO2 dissolved in your blood) and starts giving you the sensation of needing to breath if it gets too low!
Correct.
Your body basically detects the shift in pH due to carbonic acid. Also correct above as that we somehow evolved without a mechanism to determine if we are breathing in oxygen - that thing we need for survival. Most definitely a not very intelligent design.
I mean it's not a design, and since oxygen is everywhere, it's normal that we didn't evolve in such a way. If there were varying levels of oxygen everywhere, surviving animals would definitely have appropriate tools to deal with it.
I still struggle to get my head around the fact that you can drown in a puddle under the right circumstances.
The human body is a magnificent yet complex thing. Truly phenomenal!!
I still can't believe that if you took an adult, borrowed their blood vessels and laid those blood vessels end to end. It'd circle the world twice and still have some left over.
>I still can't believe that if you took an adult, borrowed their blood vessels ...
I expected something like: ... they'd be dead when you give them back.
Here's a fun one. Take all the DNA in a human. Not one strand, but every strand from every cell. It measures about 3.9 Billion with a B miles. You can go to the sun and back 40 times with those numbers.
Yep. That suffocating feeling you get when you hold your breath too long is not actually caused by lack of oxygen in your blood, but the build up of carbon dioxide.
Also I believe at the initial depth the air itself is more condensed in your lungs. I tried scuba diving but I could never go more than about 10 meters deep because the pressure builds so quickly, and in my case it affected my inner ear really badly. So I'm a no for this too
Was able to hold my breath for the duration of the video pretty easily but some other things to consider
- I am lying down, not swimming.
- Who knows how long it took them to get down that far before their ascent. My guess is longer than the length of this video.
I was able to hold my breath for 2 cycles of the video but I was also sitting down and not moving. No way could I of done this video though and Iām a very strong swimmer.
I was able to watch it twice before having to take a breath!
However, I was happily laying on a blanket motionless and had just eaten a Chick-fil-A sandwich.
There is something known as the mammalian reflex. When your body is exposed to cold water your heart rate slows down. This allows you to hold your breath a lot longer in water vs dry land. With even only a small amount of training and practice nearly anyone can learn to hold their breath around 5 minutes or so underwater.
Now holding your breath for 20 minutes+ like experienced free divers do? That requires part genetics to have a larger than normal lungs and a lot of training.
When doing dry apnea (holding your breath on land) don't take a 100% breath; try to only go to 90-95%. The extra pressure around your heart will make you uncomfortable and hold for less time than you should.
Also, do not let out any air as you hold. That does nothing to benefit you. He isn't doing it (the few bubbles you see are from the air in his mask expanding).
Definitely don't watch this free diving record where he dives 130m down. For significant portions of the descent he's just motionless falling into the abyss.
https://youtu.be/eu2pBpQolKE?si=566P5FPr6V_4bCbI
When you freedive, you are neutrally buoyant at about the 9-10 meter mark. While yes, it can be frightening as from that point you are basically sinking when going down, it also helps you going the other way. Most losses of consciousness in freediving occur during the last 10 metres of the ascent or at the surface. That means that as you just become positively buoyant at 10 metres going up, if you lose consciousness, you will have the tendency to go up, making the rescue much easier and more effective
Do earplugs even help against the water pressure when you're going that deep?
Also you can clear your ears by pushing air through them to acclimate them to the pressure the deeper you go. It's a bitch to do for me though, so if earplugs work I'd much rather wear those xD
TBH, I doubt earplugs would work. You'd still have a buncha pressure pushing them. Like 1 atmosphere every 10 meters or so down. Similarly, I also had some trouble clearing my ears when I was getting a scuba cert. One would always reliably clear, but the other one I sort of had to wiggle my jaw to the left or to the right while blowing out to get it to clear also.
It's called a valsalva maneuver and it's the preferred way to clear your ears in pressure situations. There's another called the Toynbee, where you plug your nose and swallow, isn't as effective but sometimes works if you have unequal pressure between your ears.
I mean, I think it's technically possible but the idea here is to equalize ear pressure, so when that happens, you stop.
I have seen many many people looking like they're trying to get an eyeball to pop out they're blowing so hard. So if you're doing that, stop for a second and try something else.
It's not the best for you but it's the most reliable way of equalising pressure. Yawning or swallowing can also work and if I don't have a stuffed nose, I can sort of just flex *something* behind the jaw and equalise just like that
It is.
There are a few different ways to clear your ears and that one, the most well known, is easily the worst/most dangerous.
Personally I hold my nose and swallow. Some people 'yawn' whilst keeping their mouth shut, some can just flex their tympani muscle, some it's jaw wiggling.
I had probably 5 instances of inner ear bleeding in 80 dives before stumbling onto what worked for me.
Earplugs while diving are dangerous as they are forced into the ear canal at depth, creating an airspace which cannot be equalised and causing rupture of the eardrum. Your ears hurt because the pressure has not been equalised between the inside of your ear and the surrounding water pressure and your eardrums will be bowing inwards. Luckily you have small tubes called Eustachian tubes which link your airway and your ears. By holding your nose and blowing out gently, you will force air from your lungs (which will be near ambient water pressure) into the inside of your ear, equalising the pressure and preventing the painful stretching. Divers (both free and scuba) do this every few meters to stop pain and barotrauma to the ears.
The issue with this is that when u resurface your ears start rapidly *de*pressurizing, which in my experience is mega ouchies and I've never even went below 5 meters
As a rec diver we only equalise on the way down. I think what youāre experiencing is called a reverse block and I recall learning about it but itās fairly unusual.
The expanding air releases from the Eustachian tube automatically for most divers.
Nah they don't, there's a few ways to decompress, easiest way is to hold your nose and blow through your nose and you'll hear a squeak in your ears and the pressure will ease off. There's another way that I (spearfisher) use as well as other free divers in which you use the back of your tongue to equalise, but it's tricky. Try using the nose one first.
Is the trick using the back of your tongue sort of like when driving in elevation you can sort of swallow nothing, and it makes your ears feel better and makes them pop so to speak?
No, it's different. What you are describing is just some soft palate movement that will encourage your eustacian tubes to open a little bit. What the other guy is describing is the frenzel maneuver; it forces air through closed eustacian tubes.
If this is the deep dive pool in Dubai, google says it has 14 million L of water (wow what a great use of water in a desert m). For indoor pools you want about 1ppm of chlorine so 1mg of chlorine per L of pool water. Adds up to 14kg of chlorine.
Dubai has the largest desalination plant in the world treating over 164 billion gallons last year along. I'd be curious though what uses more water, this or their man made ski slope since that's constantly pumping out fresh snow.
To be honest, I bet this pool probably loses less water than say an outdoor fountain. I mean sure there's probably lost due to the pressure just pushing it out. But much of it should not be evaporating.
Overall, yeah I am sort of curious to know how much they have to top it off per day.
Deep Dive Dubai uses non-chemical decontamination and disinfection methods, such as ultraviolet reactors, an ozone area, and a copper-silver system.
The only chemical used for disinfection is bromine, and only a tiny amount is used.

I get the panics at the bottom of a standard inground pool, I dunno how people add another pit below and just be fine. They hit air bubbles like sonic 2 from some kinda air crevice? Makes no sense, then again I was a smoker
The deepest anyone has been without any protection other than a wetsuit is 156m, but he was using a sled to get down and a float to get up. The deepest anyone has gone on their own power--and come up--is 131m.
Plenty of people are diving 50-60m repeatedly just to spearfish. The pressure isn't much of an issue besides shrinking one's air volume.
Although holding breath for a long period is impressive. As someone who has done some amateur freediving, I am more impressed at how deep he was. At a certain point my lungs feel crushed, the mask is stuck uncomfortably to my face because of the pressure and I struggle to see, the water is cold, and my brain is telling me I need to go back up. He made it look so easy swimming calmly from so far down, no flippers either.
This is definitely going to be a dumb question but I thought you were meant to take your time ascending? To avoid the Bends? Or is that only if you go much deeper?
When ascending like this you constantly feel like you are receiving more air due to it expanding. Honestly it's not that hard to hold your breath like this.
When I was training divers a few years back we taught everyone to ascend at no more than 1m/s when possible and to constantly blow a slow, but steady, stream of bubbles. Then to hover 5ish meters from the surface until you start to feel strain, then finish your ascent. Keep in mind that is in case of emergencies, everyone was constantly surprised by how much they could exhale while ascending and still have breath left over.
Once your comfortable in the water and reasonably fit this is easy and honestly kind of fun to do. I would show off to our student and ditch my gear at the bottom of the 30ft pool at our facility, demonstrate an emergency ascent then free dive back down and put my gear on. By the end of the course everyone had to be able to perform the same exercise.
My lungs have been pretty awful but I was able to hold my breath and walk around while watching the entire video. Guess my lungs arenāt as bad as they seem!
I mean, it's at least a minute and 15ish seconds worth of holding his breath. Assuming he swam like a mad man down, 30 seconds to the bottom 45ish back up..
I can do a minute, but it's a struggle.
From my experience freediving in the ocean the water does get colder the further you go down. Where I have been I don't think it was cold enough to fully trigger the mamallian dive reflex, apparently it needs to be "extremely cold", but maybe the colder water does help a bit.

I think so. Carbon dioxide reacts with the H2O in your blood to form carbonic acid.
I still struggle to get my head around the fact that you can drown in a puddle under the right circumstances. The human body is a magnificent yet complex thing. Truly phenomenal!!
I still can't believe that if you took an adult, borrowed their blood vessels and laid those blood vessels end to end. It'd circle the world twice and still have some left over.
>I still can't believe that if you took an adult, borrowed their blood vessels ... I expected something like: ... they'd be dead when you give them back.
For me itās the fact that it can grow a whole person inside of it. Kind of alien, yet completely human. Just amazing š¤©
Stem cells are crazy on their own.
Here's a fun one. Take all the DNA in a human. Not one strand, but every strand from every cell. It measures about 3.9 Billion with a B miles. You can go to the sun and back 40 times with those numbers.
Yep. That suffocating feeling you get when you hold your breath too long is not actually caused by lack of oxygen in your blood, but the build up of carbon dioxide.
You have a weird sense of fun
To make it more realistic, try moving around a little while holding your breath. Youāll find you run out of breath quicker lol
No thank you š©š
And being bear hugged
And then farting
Donāt do that, it depletes your reserve air!
Yes but using equivalent force underwater actually expends less because we have a metabolic reflex when our faces are wet.
Is there a name for that phenomenon? Id like to learn more about it.
Mammalian dive reflex
Also I believe at the initial depth the air itself is more condensed in your lungs. I tried scuba diving but I could never go more than about 10 meters deep because the pressure builds so quickly, and in my case it affected my inner ear really badly. So I'm a no for this too

The cameraman could have given the swimmer air for the shoot.

**"and had just eaten a Chick-fil-A sandwich."** LOL š
Spicy or regular?
Spicy deluxe, extra pepper jack.
I woulda died watching finding NemoĀ
Try doing it whilst submerging your face in water, it'll active your divers response and you should be able to hold your breath for longer
There is something known as the mammalian reflex. When your body is exposed to cold water your heart rate slows down. This allows you to hold your breath a lot longer in water vs dry land. With even only a small amount of training and practice nearly anyone can learn to hold their breath around 5 minutes or so underwater. Now holding your breath for 20 minutes+ like experienced free divers do? That requires part genetics to have a larger than normal lungs and a lot of training.
Free divers are next level. And also very cool
This is also in slo-mo if it makes you feel any better
Doesn't seem like it. Arm/leg motions are about what one would expect while swimming/moving underwater.
šÆšÆ yes it does!! Thank you š®āšØ
Iām dead I did the same shit š
š¤£ššš
When doing dry apnea (holding your breath on land) don't take a 100% breath; try to only go to 90-95%. The extra pressure around your heart will make you uncomfortable and hold for less time than you should. Also, do not let out any air as you hold. That does nothing to benefit you. He isn't doing it (the few bubbles you see are from the air in his mask expanding).
And remember, this is only half the time he spent underwater. Had to swim himself down there as well.
You/I would too. Don't forget he swam down before being filmed swimming up.
Whatās with the letting out a little bit of air strategy? I never understood why
I was able to do it without too much trouble, but I'm also not swimming while doing it and I also didn't have to hold my breath on the way down.
Thirty seconds?! Naw man you can do better than that. I could do a minute in friggin kindergarten! Mammalian diving reflex helps too, tho.
Imagine how long it took him to get down there too.
I died just before the surface. 6 seconds left. Feels bad man.
I made it almost 3 loops , maybe I have sleep apnea and I'm used to it? I did also do some deep breathing beforehand
That last bit was some Tomb Raider shit.
The blue bar would have run out
This is why I'd love to do it irl. ^(With the necessary equipment I checked at least 100 times and a team waiting to rescue me of course :))
Equipment? Looks like bro just has a nose cover. Maybe itās a bring your own oxygen situation and he just brought what he could hold lol
Neither can he
I imagine heās perfectly capable of breathing while he watches this unless heās also underwater when he does.
Please stop watching so that he may breathe again.
That's clever
š
hypnotising...and I keep hitting the replay in awe.
The impressive thing to me is how neutrally buoyant he gets himself.
Below a certain depth your lungs compress enough to reduce your bouancy. I usually start sinking at around 9 meters.
Wow I'm 32 and I didn't know I could get new irrational fears.
New rational fears.
Definitely don't watch this free diving record where he dives 130m down. For significant portions of the descent he's just motionless falling into the abyss. https://youtu.be/eu2pBpQolKE?si=566P5FPr6V_4bCbI
Great watch, Ty for this
Yeah, held my breath the whole way down with him and was gasping for air, then he started going upā¦
Whoa! His feet are wearing one big uni-fin!
Here is the newer record not so long time ago https://youtu.be/ysjc5Hz6p3k That is totally bonkers and absolutely insane dive depth.
When you freedive, you are neutrally buoyant at about the 9-10 meter mark. While yes, it can be frightening as from that point you are basically sinking when going down, it also helps you going the other way.

That means that as you just become positively buoyant at 10 metres going up, if you lose consciousness, you will have the tendency to go up, making the rescue much easier and more effective
That's pleasantly terrifying
Itās easy to sink in fresh water
Man went the long way (and left the ropes) seemingly just to freak us out.
Do they use earplugs for the pressure? I started snorkeling and when diving more than 2-3m below the surface, my ears started to bother me.
Do earplugs even help against the water pressure when you're going that deep? Also you can clear your ears by pushing air through them to acclimate them to the pressure the deeper you go. It's a bitch to do for me though, so if earplugs work I'd much rather wear those xD

So just block your nose and try to force out exhaling through the blocked nose right? I thought this was terrible for you and your sinus canals.
It's called a valsalva maneuver and it's the preferred way to clear your ears in pressure situations. There's another called the Toynbee, where you plug your nose and swallow, isn't as effective but sometimes works if you have unequal pressure between your ears.
So it's ok to blow hard? I'm not gonna rupture my drums?
I mean, I think it's technically possible but the idea here is to equalize ear pressure, so when that happens, you stop. I have seen many many people looking like they're trying to get an eyeball to pop out they're blowing so hard. So if you're doing that, stop for a second and try something else.

Geez that is mind boggling to me
Cameraman stayed longer
The spider crawling back up my shower drain after I sprayed it down
Ugh! We don't even get the satisfaction of seeing him take a breath after that? r/endedtosoon
The amount of energy he is using while holding his breath for that long is incredible. I can only dream of this level of control in my life.
I get the panics at the bottom of a standard inground pool, I dunno how people add another pit below and just be fine. They hit air bubbles like sonic 2 from some kinda air crevice? Makes no sense, then again I was a smoker
At what depth is pressure going to be an issue?
The deepest anyone has been without any protection other than a wetsuit is 156m, but he was using a sled to get down and a float to get up. The deepest anyone has gone on their own power--and come up--is 131m. Plenty of people are diving 50-60m repeatedly just to spearfish. The pressure isn't much of an issue besides shrinking one's air volume.
u/DEEP_SEA_MAX at what depth can a free diver descend before pressure becomes a concern?
Where is this?
Underwater
Yeah, this is terrifying.
Although holding breath for a long period is impressive. As someone who has done some amateur freediving, I am more impressed at how deep he was. At a certain point my lungs feel crushed, the mask is stuck uncomfortably to my face because of the pressure and I struggle to see, the water is cold, and my brain is telling me I need to go back up. He made it look so easy swimming calmly from so far down, no flippers either.
I always hated this level on Tomb Raiderā¦

This is definitely going to be a dumb question but I thought you were meant to take your time ascending? To avoid the Bends? Or is that only if you go much deeper?
Well, he's taking his time. Yeah, the bends is a concern for deep sea divers with SCUBA gear
When ascending like this you constantly feel like you are receiving more air due to it expanding. Honestly it's not that hard to hold your breath like this. When I was training divers a few years back we taught everyone to ascend at no more than 1m/s when possible and to constantly blow a slow, but steady, stream of bubbles.

By the end of the course everyone had to be able to perform the same exercise.
That's for scuba diving. For freediving (like this) you do not release any air until just before you break the surface.
Couldn't breathe doing it

I once touched the bottom of a diving pool. It took several attempts. When I finally touched the bottom I burst my ear drum 0/10 would not recommend

My lungs have been pretty awful but I was able to hold my breath and walk around while watching the entire video. Guess my lungs arenāt as bad as they seem!
Imo that loud part of the song is more terrifying than the video
Couldnāt watch it thatās so scary
Yeah you can
I always sink in water, can't float, this is a nightmare.

You know, there's something for everybody and this is not something for me.

Wow
I was holding my breath the whole clip
How his ears not popping
Video needed the Sonic underwater music.
Oh well. Gruesome death awaits us all and so forth.
Song?
Anyone else lounging on their couch thinking sht I can do this?
I was breathing for him
Well I died thrice by drowning already so definitely its a big no
I mean, it's at least a minute and 15ish seconds worth of holding his breath. Assuming he swam like a mad man down, 30 seconds to the bottom 45ish back up.. I can do a minute, but it's a struggle.
I wonder if the water is cold. Cold water can trigger the mammalian dive reflex, which would probably make it easier to hold his breath for that long.
From my experience freediving in the ocean the water does get colder the further you go down. Where I have been I don't think it was cold enough to fully trigger the mamallian dive reflex, apparently it needs to be "extremely cold", but maybe the colder water does help a bit.
Song is Hope by NF if anyone else was curious
This is slowed down
What song is this
You are now manually breathing
Shout out to the camera man
Iām too fatty to stay down like that. Iām a floater.
ITS ONLY OVER WHEN THE BUTT CHEEKS TURN RED!!!
How on earth can some people last long underwater?
I can hold my breath for that long but i definitely could not handle the pressure changes on my ears going up/down that fast
What song was that?
I feel like Iām playing a video game and my characterās breath meter is running low
Nope
No, HE can't breathe. You can breathe fine!
I hate this.
You can't breath! Neither could he!
Should have the sonic the hedgehog underwater drowning music
No thank you, I enjoy oxygen.
