A friend linked me to an article with this vid in it, and i thought I would share it with you guys since i know NT is into this kind of stuff.

It says on the youtube link:

Archive- You Make Me Feel, if you're still looking for the song.

Otherwise, interesting concept.
 
That was cool. I thought it was going to go deeper but then i realized he was holding his breath the entire time. Itd be cool if there was some more predators in there, makes it more exciting

This looks like mad fun, but me + large bodies of water is always a disaster. I need one of those super-scuba suits with 2 gas tanks if i'm doing this.

I got queasy watching that for some reason though

from the article:
He seems to fall through space, arms at his sides, hair flowing behind his mask, body silhouetted by the fading light above, until reaching what appears to be the bottom of the blue hole. Nery then springs upward and scales the sinkhole's walls like a rock-climber in zero-gravity, ultimately reaching the surface -- and stealing another breath -- after almost four minutes underwater.

The problem is, Guillaume did not reach the bottom and did not mean to imply that he did. (At least one report stated he did just that. Others suggested he and Gautier filmed this in one dive during actual competition.)

"I never pretended to reach the bottom. It's impossible and no one will ever do it," Guillaume said via email, emphasizing that the movie was an artistic creation -- "a fiction movie" -- that took four afternoons of diving "to get all the shots."

its still good nonetheless.

they are people who do this competitively, it defies the limits of normal human physiology. The pressure + lack of oxygen=death for an untrained diver....not to mention a possible case of the bends if you don't go in a decompression chamber.
 
#@%... how the hell is he holding his breath for that long? ive been scuba diving before and i had trouble breathing with the apparatus... let alone just holding your breath. i'd be scared as hell to try this.
 
SMH at people asking all these questions when there is clearly an article linked in the original post. First thing i did after watching it was read the article.

Regardless, freediving never ceases to amaze me. (Exponentially more than BASE-jumping, for the record.)
