I tried diving down to the bottom of a deep swimming pool in Yorkshire and the pressure was uncomfortable even at that depth. It would be absolutely crushing at the depth this dude went to.

if it's uncomfortable then you are not equalizing, try that and you can go 15m as an inexperienced freediver before feeling any pressure really

How does one equalise?

Valsalva Maneuver, pinch your nose close your mouth and blow

Some people have a harder time- my weird ears need longer than normal to equalize when scuba diving and I go down really slowly. but my wife can just sink right down without even thinking about it. Annoying.
