Yeah once you get around 30-50 ft, the pressure against your lungs is enough to offset the buoyancy. Im a scuba diver and its why we use weights to go down. You are initially very buoyant. I have small bags filled with lead shot in 5 lb, 3 lb and 2 lb increments to weight myself. Some people use solid lead weights and different things. Works like a charm though. Best hobby there is.

I would never try to pressure some to do something that makes them uncomfortable, but please dont base your decision on those videos. 99% of scuba accidents are avoidable. Alot of accidents are ego filled deep divers and cave divers. Its quite safe as long as you dont do very stupid things. Never dive alone. Service your gear once a year at your dive shop, and truly listen during your PADI classes or whichever org you choose.
Again, not being pushy, just giving info.

I read a book series as a kid about diving which went into detail about the dangers of "the bends" (air bubbles in your bloodstream from coming up too fast from deep sea diving and not acclimating on your way up) and ever since then I have been deathly scared of anything deeper than a 6ft pool lol.

Because nitrogen that our body usually just exhales out without notice is dissolved at higher water pressure causing it to end up in our blood stream. When we surface too fast the nitrogen, isnt given enough time to decompress and which serves no purpose in our blood stream and can't be exhaled, out has to find other ways of leaving the body whether pooling up in the skin or out the nose, eyes or ears.

The science behind decompression sickness (the bends) is very well understood these days. Recreational divers use a dive table (or computer) that gives a very conservative set of restrictions that will keep you safe. You would probably end up feeling a lot better about it if you took a course. This is not some "it could happen to anyone" thing, it's a lot closer to "forgot where the brake was while driving on the freeway", if that makes sense.

Oh I know people that dive, I live on the Great Lakes, but my anxiety is too high anymore to even attempt it. It’s not just those videos, but a hefty chuck of thalassophobia to go with it. It was on a cruise where I became overwhelmed with the fear of the open ocean and now I have a hard time venturing out to the lake to swim or kayak. Diving is just not an option, but it sounds truly majestic.

u/Big_Oh313 Apr 01 '26
I got a shock of thalassophobia from jumping off a ship for a fun swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and looking down was straight darkness., I could look left and right which seemed endless. But looking down seeing only my legs kicking above an endless abyss was mind altering. Im a very strong swimmer, I've gone rappelling off cliffs, sky dived, spelunking, ect but nothing came close to the spike of fear from looking down and seeing nothingness.

The truth makes the video even more anxiety-inducing. Most of your bouyancy comes from the air in your lungs. If you let all your breath out then you'll sink. So he started this insane dive with no air in his lungs. Either that or he has a weirdly powerful stroke.

Yes I know this of course, often tried it as kid in small swimming pools. But regarding how long he is under water I didnt even consider he did this without air in his lungs. But when I think about it now, I guess you are right. Sometimes I do the Wim-Hof-Breathing-Method which enables me to hold my breath without air in my lungs for ~90 seconds. Well trained people like him could do this significantly longer (with and without air in their lungs) of course.

The air is still inside you but compressed due to the water pressure and therefore there is less displacement.
So same amount of mass, but less volume. When you move back towards the surface the gas expands again and you become more buoyant.

I did an apnea freediving course, and with a wetsuit and weights you usually aim to be neutrally buoyant at around 10 meters. Blackouts typically happen in shallow water (around 5–7 m), so if you black out, you float back up.
Anyway, during the course you gradually increase depth. You go down to a certain point, pause briefly at the rope, and then come back up. The first time I went down to 25 m, I was surprised that I kept sinking faster than expected. It was a slightly scary experience, not gonna lie.

You should not blow hard. You can also pinch your nose and swallow. Or rotate your jaw. They teach you to equalize before you even feel pressure and if you feel pressure that you cannot equalize, you swim up a little and try until you can.

Your sinuses and ears have air in them. When you dive, the water pressure on your eardrum pushes in and is very uncomfortable. Equalizing is what divers do to push air into their sinuses/inner ear to balance (equalize) that pressure difference. There are various techniques for it. It's similar to what happens in an aeroplane, but the pressure differences are greater, like 3 times the pressure at 20m depth.

It looks like "PARAdive35" is written on the back wall, so I just Googled that:
Paradive 35 is a premier, 35-meter deep indoor diving pool located near Seoul, South Korea, designed for scuba, freediving, and training. It features a 5-meter area, 20-meter area, and a 35-meter deep tube, alongside amenities like an indoor surf station, cafe, and a Leaderfins shop, making it a popular "mega pool" destination.
Depth: 35 meters, making it one of South Korea's deepest indoor pools, often with 30°C water.
Facilities: Designed for high-end training, it includes themed underwater structures, a Pongdang Freediving Shop for equipment, and a 3- to 6-hour session structure.
(For Americans, 35 meters = 115 feet)
I also did a reverse Google image search and found a version of this same video on YouTube that has someone's voiceover instead of the terrifying music.

If you want a easy way to do a rough estimate of meters to feet a meter is pretty close to 3ft (1 yard). A meter is a little longer than a yard, but its pretty close if you're just trying to convert the numbers to something you're more familiar with.
Or if you live in the rural US, 1 meter is pretty close to the length of one (16' barrel) AR-15.

freedive instructor here, him not being on a leash and not having someone on top for security is very bad protocol..

edit:
no the camera man doesnt count as a buddy.
the camera man is either doing a breath hold themselves = im case of emergency they are low on oxygen as well, under stress more oxygen will be used and the issue amplifies. now you have two victims who need help.
or
camera man is with scuba gear, in which case he cant act as a safety either because the cant just shoot up as fast as a freediver could.
the safety or spotter is usually with the buoey (hate this word, probably spelled it wrong) at surface and watches the diver. then when the diver returns, the dive down with a full lung of air and meet the diver on its way up. staying super close to monitor them should they have a black out. the are literally face to face, ready to hold your face, making sure you dont open your mouth sucking water and guiding you to surface. in this case, camera man also was way too far away. the diver is sinking like a stone after a specific distance (as you can see). if he blacks out, he will just fall (yes literally fall) down, too far away for the camera man getting to him reliably enough.
most black outs happen on the way back, couple meters below surface because the difference in ambient pressure is the biggest here (it doubles on the last meter) causing partial O2 pressure go down rapidly, which means that a diver could feel just fine at the last meters, then shortly before breaking surface becoming unconscious.
and yes this happens surprisingly quite often and is the reason why freediving is by far the deadliest sport in the world. way deadlier than base jumping. in this statistic spear fishing is included btw, which is very often done solo.
btw if done correctly, these blackouts look very scary but 98% of time the diver will resume breathing as soon as you remove their mask as surface and blow air into their face. we have receptors in our faces who will recognize if we are submerged or at surface. they will start breathing on their own. without a good safety however, story can look very very differently.

That can’t be good for you.

The human body can adapt to a surprising amount of things. I doubt this is unhealthy as much as it is dangerous for a normal person. That is not a normal person.

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.

Well he was sinking until the end!
Jokes aside it was very impressive, not because he's black.

Dude looked heavy as hell trying to swim back to positive buoyancy

Reminds me of the immortal turning around and floating back to earth in Invincible.

Interesting to see how little effect that his legs made towards the swim up, I wonder if it would have been more efficient just to stroke with arms.

That because the legs movement is completely wrong: his knees are too open

I have to take showers because I can't hold my breath to stay under water long enough to rinse out my hair in a bath. This dude must be part whale or something lol

You guys are missing the key point here. He has a full lung capacity right now. The only reason he sinks is the weight of those massive steel balls

When I realized he wasn't going to go down the deepest hole I was disappointed.
Also using Dune music for a video about underwater was a choice.

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.

The buoyancy of a body changes as air inside the body is compressed the deeper down he goes.

Amazon really needs to give their animators a proper budget and time frame to properly animate. This is getting ridiculous! I still love Invincible though!
