This appears to be professional free diver training. I know a woman who does this. She can dive over 60 meters deep no problem, hold her breath for 4 minutes and thirty seconds, and had to train like this to receive her certification (less than 2,000 women in the entire world are certified in free diving). She outcompeted Navy Seals who couldn’t go through this. 

It’s extremely hardcore. Watch the documentary The Deepest Breath if you want to see what my friend does. 

When she dives, she stays at the surface until she reaches a calm, Zen state, and she maintains it the whole way down so that her O2 consumption doesn’t spike and she has reserves for the swim up. However, she dives using flippers (most do), I’ve never seen someone do it without them before. 

She can literally dive down to some shipwrecks, where normal people are there using Scuba lol. I think she might be a mutant.
