obviously this is edited over multiple takes, so not completely real, but i thought this was a SWEET movie and i know nothing about free diving other than they hold their breath for a long time

The hardest part is getting down there. when you come back up the air expands in you lungs and you have to let the air out so you do not get lung expansion.

i imagine that your rib cage has to be flippin strong to keep your lungs from collapsing under the pressure at that level. its pretty amazing what they can do.

i downloaded the song from the video already. its not really my style, but i liked it from the video. its got an eerie sound to it, and i like it. artist is archive, you make me feel for anyone else interested. i couldnt find any albums out from them, but i have quicktime pro and found a website that had it on quick time so i got to save the source!

you just have to pop your ears and let them fill with water. it's kinda weird at first but it sure helps.

yeah but then I got water in my ears, and that sucks!


Lets face it, I'm just not cut out for diving.
