Simpson Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I'm not sure I understand.... I'm guessing he must have been very heavily weighted for his decent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Well it has to have been filmed in bits. But, the dive is real, guy can hold his breath for around 4 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I'm not sure I understand.... I'm guessing he must have been very heavily weighted for his decent? Yeah must have been. Look what's round his belt on his back. Looks like a massive lump of lead or something. V. Cool video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah must have been. Look what's round his belt on his back. Looks like a massive lump of lead or something. V. Cool video. its a weight belt that scuba divers use so they can stop to do decompression stops. my dads a scuba diving instructor, just shown him this. he was pretty gob smacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 That weight on his back wasn't much though, 1-2kg at most. You don't need to worry about decompression if you're breathing air/oxygen you inhaled at the surface. Perhaps that's a giveaway - in the final bit where he comes up for air, he's breathing out all the way up. You wouldn't need to do that unless you were breathing from a tank.

JT! Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Seemed to me he was just breathing out at the last few meters ready to inhale. Can't see why he couldn't have done that with just one breath, could have been a lungful of a higher concentration of oxygen than regular air though.

Mr Bob Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Thats amazing quote here: From Guillaum...To clarify: this movie is A FICTION AND AN ARTISTIC PROJECT. I don't claim to have reached the bottom of the hole (202m) without rope and fins, as the world record in no-fins discipline is 95m.. We made this movie to show another approach in freediving videos. We wanted to express the strenght of the elements water-earth-air and the sensations of freedom, harmony, exploration Shot with a canon 5D mark II Music: you make me feel - ARCHIVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't need to do that unless you were breathing from a tank. i didnt say he had to do decompression stops. just saying thats the usual purpose of a weight belt. okay he hasnt got much weight on it, but imagine a diver with a Jacket full of air, cylinders and all the rest of the shit, then he has to have something to pull him down with, hence much bigger weight belts. im just trying to say even though its a small weight im sure it pulls him down pretty quickly the air he had at the start will have been compressed at the bottom, so when he comes back up as it is expanding you are supposed to let the "normal" size air out.

Tomm Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 the air he had at the start will have been compressed at the bottom, so when he comes back up as it is expanding you are supposed to let the "normal" size air out. That's true if you're breathing compressed air. If you breathe air under pressure at depth, as you come up that air will expand to several times the volume and can damage your lungs/ rib cage etc. However if you're breathing surface air then it compresses as you go down and then expands as you go up - but it can never expand more than its initially volume. I'm still confused by the weight thing. It's quite hard to simply sink in a swimming pool - plus the sea is saltier so easier to float in, and wearing a wetsuit usually acts as bouyancy. I doubt he could sink that fast with only 1-2 kg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Was anybody else not expecting that massive octopus that engulfed him just as he jumped in the hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
