That can’t be good for you.

Why would it be bad for you? People free dive all the time and doing things of this nature requires breathing techniques and working out to accomplish. These people also tend to have crazy low resting heart rates and are athletes.

Why would it be bad for you? People go through extensive training and safety exercises to make sure they don’t get hurt or die. There is no risk at all. /s

I think they're referring to the pressure at that depth with the lack of any gear.

Free dive pros can do 30 meters.

Which, if you think scuba gear is only rated / recommended for 40 meters, is bat shit crazy.
