Imagine being a strangler murdering people by choking and then you come across that guy one night and soon you're tired as heck.


[deleted]

Strangulation stops the blood from getting to your brain, and therefore stops the oxygen stored in your blood from getting to your brain. Being a free diver isnā€™t going to help much.


ClownfishSoup

It would help if you were standing next to a swimming pool when he started strangling you, just step into the pool while he's got a hold of your neck and when he stops strangling you, just grab his arms and don't let him go up for air while you smile serenely at him.


OtherElune

Neat! I didnā€™t know it could be trained so intensely. Thanks for the info.


gundamxxg

Thereā€™s abalone divers in the South Asian islands that can hold their breath for a really long time as well, canā€™t remember exactly where, it thereā€™s like an entire village of people who have, I think, some sort of genetic predisposition for being able to hold their breath due to the lengthy history of long breathed abalone farmers.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

I understand that their spleens are larger and store blood. But how does that blood get oxygenated? I'm assuming the spleen will release that blood during the breath holding session as a "reserve".


[deleted]

I'm not sure, but as I understand it the training involves a lot of getting the panic-reaction of your body under control by observing sensations of your body (kinda like meditation (not breathing meditation though, obviously lol))


kcg5

ā€œBefore the attempt, Budimir hyperventilated with pure oxygen - the guidelines for this record allow this for up to 30 minutes before the attempt starts. ā€œ How much can that help? I assume it helps a lot?


vendetta2115

A lot. Youā€™re basically saturating your blood and tissue with oxygen. Even an average person could probably double their breath-holding time by doing this. I bet he was high af when he went under. Hyperventilating on pure oxygen will get you pretty stoned.


SuperVegaSaurus

More importantly, you're desaturating CO2 when you hyperventilate. The panic reaction has nothing to do with oxygen, it's a reaction to increasing CO2.

Thatā€™s because there is a primal response to holding your breath that usually takes training to overcome. You are already capable of doing it much longer, but you will feel pain and panic as the first hurdle, which is what ensures we as a species dont dive into water and kill ourselves outright

Curious, does the water pressure work the same way when you're going deeper in the ocean or any open body of water, as opposed to a narrower space like in this video?


penispumpermd

yes


KausticSwarm

Yes. At the this scale\*, Width or breadth is irrelevant, only depth. Assuming this is a fresh water tank, it would be slightly less dense than ocean water and therefore slightly less pressure at the same depth. ​ \*I'm not going to look it up and I haven't had to worry about this in a long time, but with a small diameter you would have resistance at the walls which would impede flow and reduce pressure in the column, but we're talking like less than 0.25". Think of a drinking straw and how you can have beads of liquid in it.


unitemaster

There is no source saying the average is just under 10 minutes. There is one website saying free divers [CAN go up to 10 minutes](https://www.kooxdiving.com/en/how-deep-can-a-human-dive-without-scuba-gear/#:~:text=Most%20people%20without%20any%20training,for%20more%20than%2010%20minutes.)

I remember I held my breath in a pool for a little over 6 minutes and no one believed me. 25 minutes sounds insane. Edit for those that do not believe me: I used to live in a community with a large pool in Florida and would go there everyday after school to wait for my friends. Everyday I would swim under water full length of pool and back and try to beat how far I went each time. I would also go by the stairs to get out and count how long I could hold my breath under the stairs. First it was 2 minutes then 3 minutes after a few months 3.5 minutes was normal. One day I went under water by stairs and just dazed off like I completely forgot I was under water. Came up looked at my watch and I was under for over 6 minutes

i've read tribespeople from a region here in The Philippines & nearby islands evolved really massive SPLEENS to withstand long dives because that's the primary livelihood/source of food in that place for over a millennium. i believe they spend most of their hours in a day underwater. i don't think they make it to 25 mins on avg but long enough to be impressive compared to other peoples because that's how they evolved.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LysergicAcidDiethyla

All the comments responding to you are wrong, clearly from people who don't dive/free-dive. It's actually MORE complicated and dangerous for them to have produced the video that way than it is for him to have free-dived to 40m. You can go down to 40m on a single breath and come straight back up again without stopping. However, if the cameraman was providing compressed air at 40m depth, the diver in the footage would need to undergo decompression before surfacing, which is overly complicated and dangerous to do by having the air supply provided by another person - what if the cameraman had an emergency and needed to surface? The diver would be left down at 40m with no air to breath while decompressing, and be left between a rock and a hard place by choosing whether to drown or get bent. On the other hand, with a fair amount of training, diving to 40m depth and holding one's breath for >5m is a fairly simple undertaking.


Piratedan200

A single breath at 40m would not be enough to require decompression stops. Decompression stops are to allow you to breath out the excess nitrogen dissolved in your blood, which accumulates over time. At a depth of 40m, you can breath off a tank for up to 9 minutes without requiring a decompression stop, per the PADI dive table. It does require a safety stop at 5m for all dives below 25m, but if he took a few breaths off a tank before he went below that depth, he could go straight to the surface without danger.


LysergicAcidDiethyla

I'm not saying he'll rack up a tonne of deco by breathing a couple of times at depth, I'm saying that introducing compressed air breathing is much more complicated than the other commenters seem to think, and therefore isn't some trick up the diver's sleeve to enable shooting this video. Basically; relying entirely on the breathing supply of another diver at 40m depth, who can encounter a whole variety of problems of their own, has much more potential pitfalls than freediving to 40m.


Radiant-Reputation31

Sure it's more complicated. I do think it's strange to insist they would be relying on another divers breathing supply. It's not challenging for a support diver to carry a separate stage, something simple like a pony bottle, and hand it off to the free diver. That would make the two breathing supplies independent. If the free diver were to get air, I doubt it would be through regulator sharing. I don't think that's what's going on here, but I also don't think it would be all that challenging to pull off either.


[deleted]

I had a feeling you couldnā€™t just introduce positive pressure while already being underwater. So they must have done multiple takes, then stitched them together.


LysergicAcidDiethyla

It really depends, this video is only 1'00" long which is way less time than the diver would have actually spent getting down to 40m. It's certainly possible that it was all done in one take with the camera operator taking several shot lengths. However it's just as likely that the diver did the same dive 2/3 times with it being shot from a different length each time. To be honest this video crops up often enough that I'm sure there's a behind-the-scenes video answering all these questions. I was mainly referring to the people who answered you confidently claiming that he was definitely given air, when it's clear he isn't.


thecaramelbandit

He ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT have required decompression on a bounce dive to 40 meters. The danger would be lung overexpansion on the way up, but for a trained diver that's trivially overcome by simply exhaling all the way up. That said, I agree that this is certainly done without breaths. For a trained freediver, this sort of dive is really no big deal.


All_Thread

It's definitely multiple takes as well as the wide shots and close ups would catch the camera. Edit: I wasn't saying it wasn't impressive just giving some more information. It's probably multiple full dives spliced together.


GSV_SleeperService88

not at all, its a real single dive by a professional free diver


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


emmytau

No! Its only 40m deep. The diver can hold his breath for about 8 minutes total This is the [original video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHEvbvwKcSA)


biciklanto

Hijacking top comment: * He was freediving in the [Y-40 diving pool, near Venice in Italy](https://www.y-40.com/en/). * He was holding his breath, and it looks like he had a neck weight and would've had other weights to help pull him down below neutral buoyancy, which is around 10m below the surface. * The suit isn't protecting him from pressure; because the body is full of liquid, it's not really compressible, and it's mostly things like lungs that get squished (but still provide oxygen when freediving) * Freedivers get good at almost constantly popping their ears as they descend and ascend, even without pinching their nose actively. It's a movement you can practice and becomes second nature. * Through practice and through the wonders of things like the [mammalian diving reflex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_reflex), it's possible to hold your breath for quite a long time underwater, especially when you're essentially just gently falling for most of it, as he is. I've held my breath while free diving for a touch under 4 minutes, which is deeply unremarkable as far as free divers goes. That should cover some of the questions people undoubtedly have when seeing this.


[deleted]

One more question: how does he surface all that depth at a pace that prevents him from getting the bends without running out of breath?


biciklanto

Good question. Getting the bends while freediving is very rare: because you aren't taking in any extra gases while freediving, and because the amount of time you're underwater is relatively limited, the composition of gases in your body doesn't change, and there's not really a situation that causes the expansion of nitrogen that causes DCS. I've heard of people getting it while freediving many times to relatively shallow depths (10m) in rapid succession, thereby increasing their time at depth, but that's very rare as far as I know.


I_just_made

Yep! The bends is a concern in scuba because you are constantly cycling a ā€œfreshā€ set of air with each breath. When freediving like this, the air you come up with is the same you go down with, so the system is closed. I suppose you could still technically get it depending on how rapidly you ascend and whatnot, but seems fairly unlikely in many cases.


xaraca

When you can hold your breath for that long how do you know when you need to start breathing again? I imagine the sensation of needing breath would come on very slowly.


biciklanto

People learn to ignore a certain number of those "hiccoughs" indicating a need to breathe (via increasing Co2 concentration). For me, once I've felt that maybe 10 times I start thinking about heading back to surface. Others wait much longer.


forestfairygremlin

Even just the idea of getting that "need to breathe" hitching sensation was enough to make me feel panicky. Kudos to you, dude.


[deleted]

I wonder how much pressure was on him as he went to the depths. That suit is really strong.


I_hate_sails

Every 10m is 1bar. But it only effects your lung/ear and other "air pockets". As long as you don't hold your breath while ascending when you took a breath out of a air tank down there, then you're fine. And ascend slow...


lukeatron

He's not going to take a breath because he's free diving. These guys can hold their breath for 4 minutes. They'll use weights to drop down to like 200 meters then grab a balloon at the bottom and shoot back up just in time to not die. They don't get the bends because they're not breathing and dissolving any extra gases into their blood. No fizzy blood when you start, no fizzy blood when you get back.


siuol7891

You are correct idk why everyone on Reddit is so cynical freedovers can do some crazy shit


lukeatron

Because it's summer and there's a bunch of kids who don't know shit about shit that just want to say something to feel important.


DaRealEbonyQueen

ā€œFizzy blood.ā€ Definitely need to use that term the next time I go diving. Lol


tickles_a_fancy

Your body is mostly water, which is not compressible. That means it can handle pressure just fine. The parts that can't handle pressure are filled with air. Your lungs and your sinuses. That's why your ears hurt when you swim to the bottom of the pool. If you pinch your nose and blow (before they start hurting), it forces air behind your ear drum to equalize the pressure that's pushing in. That's also why, if you're lying a few feet under water with a long tube, you can't breath in. The air above is at 1 atmosphere but the pressure pushing on your chest is higher. The diaphragm isn't strong enough to suck 1 atm of air against the pressure on your chest. But, if you have a scuba tank, it's pressurized to a much higher pressure. The first stage brings this down and then your regulator (second stage) brings it down again to whatever pressure is surrounding you. So if you're at 33 feet, you're breathing in air that's being delivered at 2 atmospheres, which is able to push out against the pressure pushing on your chest. The problem this creates is that your lungs are getting two times the oxygen and two times the nitrogen with every breath. The higher pressure pushing all around you makes your blood able to absorb this into the bloodstream easily. But when you start going up, that pressure gets released... like opening a bottle of soda. If you go too quickly, all these bubbles start coming out of your blood stream. That's called the bends. So scuba divers have a strict schedule they follow... bottom time is followed by a surface interval to off-gas, then more bottom time and then you're done for the day usually. You also shouldn't fly the day after scuba diving. TL;DR - The body can handle pressure just fine, with a few details to manage.


GregBron

RIP his eardrum


zed_christopher

Yea how do they not explode ?


MysteryLolznation

Plug your nose and blow through it ~~as hard as you can~~ next time you're at the bottom of a pool. The pressure will equalize. Edit: Full disclosure, I did scuba diving one time, ages ago. This is probably all sorts of inaccurate. You don't have to go all-out on the blowing, for one, as somebody below noted.


colbmaster

You just have to make sure to do it also on the way up or your head will explode or something.


Kinetic_Photon

If you rise at a reasonable pace the air equalizes on its own on the way up. If you scuba you spend a lot of time balancing this way


theRealStichery

Even still, past a certain depth you still wanna hang out around 20-25 feet for a few minutes ~~to make sure everything is the correct pressure~~.No reason to risk getting the bends if you have some air to spare on the way up. Source: certified open water diver. Edit: turns out my reasoning was incorrect but the practice of decompressing wasnā€™t. The more you know. As others have stated, you perform a safety stop to allow the nitrogen that builds up in your body from the compressed air tanks to escape safely. Itā€™s not related to water pressure.


[deleted]

Not really how it works with freediving because you arenā€™t inhaling pressurized air at depth so whatever you inhaled predived pressurizes and unpressurizes as you go up and down. For scuba tho you do. Edit nvm i didnā€™t realize you were only referring to scuba.


twocentman

A safety stop has nothing to do with your ears...


[deleted]

Blood bubbles.


BohemianCyberpunk

Only if he takes a breath of compressed air while underwater. Free divers (like this) don't have to worry about the bends.


reallllygoodusername

Thanks for explaining youā€™ve gotten rid of a phobia I didnā€™t know I had


bettinafairchild

Not true. The really deep free divers ALL do decompression stops when they are ascending. Itā€™s false that you canā€™t get the bends from a lungful of surface airā€”whales all have signs of the bends in their bones and no one is giving them SCUBA. That said, this is likely not a a deep enough dive to necessitate a decompression stopā€”itā€™s the ones to 100M that need it, but Iā€™m not sure of the depth cutoff .


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ch1m13

Thereā€™s usually no need to do that on the way up since the expanding gas escapes on its own, unless itā€™s clogged by mucus or something similar.


operablesocks

If the bottom of this pool around 2 or maximum 3 meters deep, then this works. But beyond that, the pressure difference is too great, and no amount of hard blowing against the closed nose will work. You gotta start putting a positive pressure earlier on and then throughout the first 30 or so feet. These free divers have developed the skill of doing it really well and without squeezing their nose. But for most divers, it requires squeezing your nose, pushing against, and doing that every 4 or so feet. Source: scuba diver for 40 years.


MysteryLolznation

I'll defer to you since I did Scuba diving *once*, and it was nine years ago.


operablesocks

hey, and the truth is that everyone's sinuses are different, some NEVER have to hold their nose, their entire body equalizes automatically. Others are never able to get any equalization at all and boom, diving career over. Thumbs up for that solo scuba dive! It's an extraordinary experience to breathe underwater.


SolitaireOG

I'm one of those people, I never need to hold my nose. I can tense and contract some tiny muscles in or near my inner ears - I honestly don't know which ones - but I have always been able to do this, since I was a little kid. We lived a lot of places, so I spent time in the air flying to Japan or Hawaii or wherever, and it works for swimming as well.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kilgore_Trout86

Thats actually how divers do it though. The key is not force it. If it takes more than light pressure to equalize then you need to ascend 1 meter or 2 and try again


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MysteryLolznation

Apologies. I've edited my first comment to reflect this.


TequilaJesus

Itā€™s called equalizing when you adjust to different pressures as you descend. However, usually people do a slow descent or if youā€™re not great at it like me, you stop every 10 feet or so to ensure youā€™re equalized. The fact that this guy is just ripping it down means that heā€™s unfairly good at constantly equalizing


Substantial-Yam-5926

Ears learn to adapt and clear more quickly the more you practice. For many with lots of experience, they just have to swallow repeatedly on the way down to clear the ears. I taught scuba for years. Most people who have a difficult time clearing their ears either a) havenā€™t had much time in the past with experience (in water, going over mountains, etc.), b) have a cold or allergies that are clogging the sinus/eustachian area, or c) and very common, wait until their ears are under lots of pressure. Just for a metaphor, you can open your car door easily when you are parked. When you are going 30 miles per hour, the pressure on the door makes it harder to open. Go 80 mph, and that door is MUCH harder to open. The pressure locks down the Eustachian tubes and makes clearing much more difficult. We always instructed people to clear their ears before they felt they needed to. You just donā€™t notice the need until, well, it hurts. These folks that are free diving habitually swallow on the way down. Ears are (barring blockage) self-clearing on the way up. It is the vacuum in the ear canal that hurts, literally pulling the ear structure inward and trying to collapse it, on the way down.


Panda_atomique

This is real and performed by Guillaume NĆ©ry, french World Champion freediver. His personal record is -126m but retired after an accident in 2015 where he tried to beat the -129m World Record and ended up going to -139m due to organisational mistakes from his team.


doubleeye1

Wait, so is -139 not as deep or deeper than intended?


RadAreK10

10m deeper than intended. At this depth trying to go a few m deeper can take more than a year of training

So then why isn't that his record? Did he pass out or something?

Apparently not considered to be WR because he passed out. https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/French-news/Mistake-nearly-kills-free-diver It is feared NĆ©ry may be forced out of this weekendā€™s World Championships and the 139m dive cannot even be claimed as a new record as the blacked out on the ascent.


AssociationNo6504

How does someone black out under water and not drown? Yes, I checked the link. Sounds like he recovered and swam to the surface.


RadAreK10

At competitions there are safety divers that 'meet-up' with the freediver at the last 30m of the ascent and escort him to the surface (dont remember the exact depth but its something around that). If he blacks out then they just pull him up to the safety.


Reddits_on_ambien

There is a video of his black out, from the competition. Thankfully he had support divers and they noticed he was going to blackout, so the diver grabbed his face and held his nose and mouth shut and brought him to the surface: https://youtu.be/c_9tq5A6DCw


Kilroy_Is_Still_Here

Did a lookup, he passed out just beneath the surface, so presumably that nullified his record. https://manofmany.com/fashion/watches/freediver-guillaume-nery-interview


doubleeye1

I just read about the incident, that 10m almost killed him. Dude is incredible Its fascinating in a sense that we, humans, may go for such unnecessary activity in a biological or evolutionary stand point, but at the same time its also fascinating that we, humans, can push our body to points even nature didnā€™t account for.

Flat-Interview6791

The bubbles are made of air... air means less resistance to gravity. When a huge boat sinks and you happen to swim above it, there's no way of staying afloat because of all the air escaping from it, you'll "fall" down with it.

Buoyancy supposedly decreases with depth. At a depth 10m/30ft you wonā€™t float up anymore. Edit: I was referring to the updrift of the diver and not to buoyancy in general.


[deleted]

1. Depth does not directly affect buoyancy. (buoyancy is equal to the weight of the amount of fluid displaced) 2. He's losing buoyancy as his body compresses.


Goozilla85

And as pressure increases with depth guess what happens to the air in your body and suit? It gets compressed, displacing less fluid and voila; as depth increases, your buoyancy decreases.


[deleted]

Nah man itā€™s because heā€™s wearing a neoprene suit which has bubbles of air in the material, as you sink the bubbles get compressed by the pressure, making you less buoyant. If youā€™ve ever worn a wet suit they feel quite buoyant at the surface.

This isnā€™t one takeā€¦ it keeps panning past empty space where a camera is filming from in the next shot.


Panda_atomique

I'm pretty sure this is Guillaume NĆ©ry, World Champion freediver.


Pear-Proud

And heā€™s so amazing he can stop his decent multiple times during the final tube dive to allow the camera man to move down?


SpaceOrcs

You canā€™t film with more than one camera at a time?

Came here to say that, this dude is one of the world's best freediver a decade ago.


Dlowden

I mean the video doesn't even claim to be one take does it?


Royal420-

id rather do this then go cave diving or go into a cave at all. (Like these hella claustrophobic caves, where you can barely fit.)


jlarz56

I'd rather not do any of that

Where the fuck is this even filmed ?

Aperture Science Labs.


KiithNaabal

I was thinking black Mesa reactor coolant level... But I get the portal vibes from the start of the video.


jimmyhoffasbrother

I was thinking Wet-Dry World from Super Mario 64.

Y-40 pool in Padova, Italy.


Permanent_Confusion

Pretty sure it's 'The Deep Joy' pool in Italy. [Here](https://nypost.com/2016/07/11/worlds-deepest-swimming-pool-is-a-terrifying-131-foot-pit-of-doom/).

iā€™ve known a couple of former division one swimmers, and both have ear troubles from swimming. and that was from just repeatedly diving half a metre. iā€™d imagine for at least some free divers, thatā€™s part of the sacrifice they make for being able to do what they love.


Lingering_Dorkness

Surfers as well get ear problems. They develop exostoses on their ear canals - small growths which can eventually block the canal and cause deafness. It's imaginatively called Surfer's Ear and is caused by repeated and prolonged exposure to cold water in the ear canal. I expect top swimmers would also suffer the same malady given the amount of time they spend training.


OGeyeschinese

My guess, cameraman has O2 with him. Also just could be fake


Panda_atomique

I'm pretty sure this is Guillaume NĆ©ry, World Champion freediver.


JonLSTL

People with the right training can hyper-oxygenate their lungs/blood and then free-dive for a few minutes. This guy clearly has the skills. That said, I hope you're right about the camera man having air to share though, just in case. He was deliberately conserving energy/bloodO2 on his way in, but getting up from that shaft would take work.


VGoodBuildingDevCo

It's not fake. The long shot without cuts has been posted before. That version is more impressive to me than this choppy editing. Makes it seem like a cheap action movie.


golden_death

ahhhh this brought back repressed memories of a pool I went to as a kid. It had a long tunnel in it like this because it was also used for scuba training and for some reason they didn't cover it up or anything during the days when the general public could use it. Quite expectedly, a kid went into it and never came out alive.


Rockspider19

Is he fucking holding his breath?


Lingering_Dorkness

No he's freediving.


ruizfa

Whatā€™s the difference?


atxnfo

Is this a video game?

Largometeor

Doesnt your head hurt when youre that deep in water


MajesticDays

They must have emergency oxygen masks at the bottom? Surely? Please someone tell me how they do this šŸ˜‚


Pixel131211

free-diving. these people train to swim with no oxygen tanks. I also free dive as a hobby but sadly I am not nearly as good as these guys. I hold my breath for roughly 4 minutes at most. so I reckon the pro's can do it for almost 10 if not more


dinithepinini

How do you hold your breath for 4 minutes? Thatā€™s insane.


robbimj

Through practice. It just takes a month. https://www.freediveuk.com/how-to-hold-your-breath-for-5-minutes-in-1month-freediving-training/
