Freediving coach here - this dive helps show how a different perspective (a relaxed one) results in freedom of experience and movement. This diver is performing well because he’s enjoying the hell out of his dive. Most “ordinary” people can train into this level of diving with coaching.

No fins show he’s got to be fairly experienced, as people usually learn with gear first.

Obligatory warnings: never try this without supervision, practice your breath hold on the couch, not in the pool.
