Free Dive World Record

You might have seen this already but it is amazing....

Wow, just watching affected my breating and heartbeat, great clip, and he didn't even look outta breath.

Comment 1:  Didn't he kinda blow it when he turned around at 88 meters and pulled himself up with the drop line?!     (sarcasm)

Comment 2:  Let's keep it real by just posting human feats on this board...  (denial and jealousy)

Comment 3:  WOW!  (true feelings)

 

PS:  That spot, "Dean's Blue Hole, Bahamas", is bad-ass!

Egads.....
The abalone that guy could find!

Thanks Bill for putting that one up. The music coupled with the feat is just so inspiring and incredible.

Bill that was great.  We all need to see that.  I spent six weeks in HI this summer and I met the US champion for underwater breath hold.  She and her mom were training down in the area I fished everyday.  Both of them were pretty good.  Andy

Pretty good. 
One thing I never saw was the guy equalizing his ears. Amazing stuff.

Some people can equalize their ears w/o touching their nose...

is that what he was doing with the chewing action with his jaw before diving? cameron

Many of the breath holding record divers are using nose clip so they don't have to use hands.

NO IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS PACKING . THAT IS WHAT WE WHERE TOLD NOT TO DO IN THE FREEDIVE CLASS. IT CAUSES BLEEDING OF THE LUNGS.

Good point.

You can equalize without touching the nose.The clip keeps the water out of the nasal cavity.  He was sipping in a final amout of air before he turned to go down I think.

The technical term would be "hyperventilation".  The brain sends out the signals to "trigger" the urge to breath when the CO2 level in our boby reaches a certain level.  By doing the "hyperventilation" we can lower the CO2 in our body thus "delaying" the urge to breath.  If we over do it then you can get the "shallow water blackout" and drown!

I am in total respect.  That is awesome.  No fins!!
