THAT IS AMAZING! I could not imagine doing that. I mean if you black out down there its over...unless they had an o2 system down that far.

Where are they? It seems to be just a deep hole like 100 feet of the beach? Its a very wierd place.

Absolutely amazing. I am not aware of how he could have done this and not equalizes his ears the entire way.... Does anyone have any thoughts on that? Truly amazing though. He was completely composed after what 4-5 minutes under water? WOW.

Wow.. That is incredible. When he came up he was amazingly relaxed and not gasping for air. Holding your breath for 3:30 is a feat in itself.

Im a diver and I too was wonding about his not clearing his ears. The nose plugs were something I had not thought of.

You have to clear or you will burst your ear drums. These guys train for this and although I haven't looked at the link, they used to have divers on station and tanks etc, just in case. Even with a tank, extreme depths are extremely dangerous.

So relaxed, he is a true athlete, and more.
The composure and state of mind that it must take to do that.
Wow, just simply...
Wow.....
