If your balls are bigger than your brain, you are apt to do stupid things.

I hit the “get me out of here” state at the bottom of a 12 foot swimming pool.
Did this guy have spotters with a spare O2 tank in case he blacked out?

Don’t know. at 600’+ depth I’m guessing a remote submersible followed him down and filmed him at the bottom.

Yeah, I’m kinda curious how he managed to avoid getting the bends.

When I was a teen we used to swim in what were called locally “blue holes”, essentially abandoned rock quarries that had filled with water. We would jump off ledges 20-30 feet high, some where you had to run off to clear other rocks below. There would be the occasional drownings when someone got trapped below under a ledge (none when I was ever around). We were always warned against going there but we were teens.

I predict that he will not die in bed, of old age!
To: drbuzzard
He is free diving. No compressed air thus the only nitrogen inhaled is that first and only lungful. But there have been cases after repetitive free diving where the nitrogen has not been out gassed.

According to Guillaume Nery himself, this is fake.

Yeah, wow! That was other-worldly. Music was well chosen.

“Hold my beer”, he was heard to say just prior to the dive.

It is very rare for the bends to occur on the in and out dives.

Yeah, Im kinda curious how he managed to avoid getting the bends.This has sort of been addressed in that he's not breathing compressed air. There is also a time factor in nitrogen narcosis. He went to 600+ feet, but not for very long.
