nevins Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 This guy is nuts. The depth he goes and then he has to get back to the service as well on one breath. 8tYBes6JiI0&feature=player_embedded#! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 was going to ask peoples thoughts on it as no way in hell could you hold your breath that long and deep, the pressure would not allow you to. Still looks cools though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 thats pretty cool, not sure i would enjoy diving into a rather deep hole underwater though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I might be making this up but I think it was a demo video from an up and coming production company. To show their skills, very effective and well made video IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 There are a few people that seem to be able to do it, i've watched a record attempt on the box and it all looked pretty real with record recorders etc there, think it was a women and she went down quite a long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her record attempt was diving down to a shipwreck or something like that? That particular one is legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Free divers can easily hold their breath for that amount of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 so they must be weighted then to go down deep as the air in the lungs would be holding them back so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 A long time ago i used to do a lot of diving and swimming, open sea stuff etc i could manage about 3 1/2 minutes under water on one breath. That was hard so i can't imagine doing over 10 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 I thought 45 secs was good haha, I now retract my thoughts. So would they get the bends when surfacing then as they can not exactly hang around while at the levels can they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Its very risky when there going down to 250 + metres then back up in one hit, no idea how they do it. I couldnt hold my breath very long at depth but say at 5-10ft under 3 mins was easy enough but i did train and was very fit, also didnt smoke !!

tbourner Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 so they must be weighted then to go down deep as the air in the lungs would be holding them back so to speak I think they go down (heheh) on a big cable thing: Unless that's some other kind of deep diving. q7yQ2iG7-O0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 When I was swimming my best was 2.5 minutes. That was just messing around though, I didn't train to hold my breath underwater lol. I can barely hold my breath for a minute now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It looks like the diver went a lot deeper than he actually did as the light is restricted by the high walls. If he was in open water at that depth it would be almost indescernable from normal daylight. He went down no more than 50 metres in my opinion. Free divers don't suffer from the bends as the only air in their bodies was inhaled at sea level so its at normal atmospheric pressure. Their lungs collapse to the size of a child's fist when they dive due to the water pressure over coming the atmospheric pressure in their lungs so the air in their lungs offers very little bouyancy after 15-20 metres. Scuba divers breathe air at the same pressure as the surrounding water (the water pressure increases by 1 atmosphere or 1 Bar (14.7 psi) for every 10 metres of water above you). So at 10 metres deep you are inhaling twice the amount of air in every breath compared to what you could inhale at the surface, at 20 metres its three times the amount, at 30 metres its four times, and so on. When a scuba diver is resurfacing from anything more than 15 metres it is normal practice to stop every 5 metres for 5 minutes to allow the concentrated nitrogen in your blood stream (this arises from breathing pressurised air) to make its way back to the lungs and be exhaled safely. The bends occur when the diver surfaces too quickly, the gas doesn't get time to move to the lungs and re-expands with the decreasing water pressure around you while its still in the blood stream. Nasty to say the least but its not usually fatal if treated in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 People can hold their breath and ive that deep for that long, but not climb and stop and start etc.. using too much energy. There are lots of different scenes so I would guess the cameraman gave him air every now and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah otherwise you get a bad head I did a 30 metre dive and came up without enough stops and my head hurt for hours. The seabed is littered with the inedible remains of people just like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be a lot worse than a "bad head" mate. The bends is serious stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i always test how long i can stay under for in the bath, the other night i was timed for 1m.40s and i thought i was going to faint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I believe they do it by relazing and even slowing the heart rate down, that and hyperventilating before going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
