Meditation dive
Nemo 33 is an indoor dive center with one of the deepest artificial diving pools in the world located in Brussels region of Belgium. The pool contains 2.5 million liters (2500 m 3 ) of un-chlorinated water, which is heated to 30 ° C and is 33m deep.

Nope, just nope.

My legs don’t bend that way so I guess I’m out too.

I drowned watching this video.

Did he receive a piece of a heart for reaching the bottom?

Was there an air tank down there? How long in total did he hold his breath?
ldg1982
Nope!
Phischstaebchen
is there something like fear of deep pools? I think I have that now.....

Such a great scene.

The moment when you've fucked up, but come to accept your life is a failure and just deal with it.

Is it possible to feel both peace and major anxiety while watching this? Cuz that's what I'm getting
theinterglutealcleftofmercury
Held my breath for the length of this gif.
FreezeTheBallsOffABrassMonkey
Surprisingly was not that long
Mexrose75
I tired but the nachos I ate earlier and my position on the sofa made it impossible.
lurkonly
i failed half way to bottom just from anxiety!
SvenskaApacheGermanMex73
You had me at un chlorinated
kr662
It's nice of @OP's mum to rent her vagina out as a pool.
lurkingintheclosetwithkittens
Unchlorinated? Someone always pees in the pool. Always.
Hipcatjack
Right? I was wondering the same. Does that mean it's salt?
RemiRixJones
I used to freedive, but this still freaked me TF out.
TheHorseShesElbowDeepIn
Salt water?
PutThePRNDLinD
I would want to play in there a bit. ...But what's with the 'Mens and 'Women' markings on the bottom?

danbrazier
Didn't you read? It's unchlorinated, so you have to label it so people know which side they should pee in.
elmustache
Comes out of the water like nothing. I'm spitting out water and looking for air after 10 seconds

believeitornotimnothome
Oh my god no way. At 10 ft. my ears are bursting and how do people hold their breath for so long???
FreezeTheBallsOffABrassMonkey
There are techniques, like making swallowing motion, that equalize the pressure in your ears. Makes it no different from being at surface
Bunuslippur
I started breathing heavily just by watching this
RoxanneLaWin
Fuck. That.
CygloPargen
Looks like they cut together more than one dive, what's that thing on his wrist in some shots but not others?
chumpacabra
Looks like a dive watch. I think it’s there the whole time. If you mean the thing he puts on his wrist at the bottom, probably a can of air
chumpacabra
Regardless it probably was footage from a few different attempts, at least for the editor’s sake

It freaks me out that once you hit around 10m you start sinking instead of floating.
RepostingForAwareness
Imagine the pressure in his ears.

ExclusiveGamer
I have a hole in my ear drum, this would either give me such a bad ear infection or kill me.
particledecay
Well....then, please don’t do this
Obandigo
That's nothing compared to the pressure my wife can put on my ears.
DungeonMaster69
Diving 5 meters hurts, 33 must be fucking intense
valen00
Learn to equalise your ears mate
Stegaosaurus
I'm imagining about 4.3 bar
snjohnstone
3.3 bar, roughly a bar per ten meters, you wouldn't include atmospheric pressure.
Stegaosaurus
Why not?
snjohnstone
Sorry, replied to my own comment
snjohnstone
It's a 3.3 bar change from the initial pressure that humans are adapted to. Same reason you will rarely see a pressure gauge start at 1 bar.
Stegaosaurus
Ah, makes sense

LurkerPete
He had a clamp on his nose, I imagine he was depressurizing as he went down
unmu
Hope he's exhaled before diving - could end up with a nasty case of stretched lungs.
m0wgli
His earwax turned to diamonds
JohnSmithterms
Eardrums have flaps... pain you feel is the flaps being pressed. If you open the flaps you equalise the pressure. Hold nose & breathe out.
BantersaurousRex
Eardrums don't have flaps...eustachian tubes. Not flaps.
OphthalmologyJunkie
+1. JohnSmithterms has flaps to release his gray matter.
JohnSmithterms
Cmon, they open and close in a very similar way to flaps, I blame my spanish diving instructor for that description :S
JohnSmithterms
+1 For a more accurate description, thanks.
FrenchcoreWorldwide
That's why you have to do pressure equalization - hold your nose closed and "breathe" out through it. Her the cracking sound? That's it.
FromTheShadowyDepthsaLurkerRises
He didn't equalize once! I don't get know how he managed to get through that AND a quick ascent
jaiie
Trust me he did. As you get used to diving you can do it effortlessly without needing to squeeze your nose.
AnalTelescope
Me its not so much the ears, but my head. Idk why, its the crushing pressure around my head that's unbearable. I also have a very big head
Jonataurus
That's the sound of your eyes popping out right?
RootEnoch
Another way is to flood the sinuses and ear canal before diving - that way there's equal pressure water on both sides of the ear drum.
valen00
As a person who has done some diving, that sounds really friggin stupid
pixarpizza
How does one do this?
RootEnoch
Put your nose in the water and breath in through it.
CluelessAmerican
How?
Dontyoudareusethewordpartyasaverbinthisshop
Don't do that underwater though you'll blow out your eardrums, roll your jaw side to side for safer but same effect
1metalnation
PADI Certified rescue diver here. No, you wont. You blow out your ear drums by waiting too long and blowing too hard. Blow gently and often
watthefrak
The MK-17 diving helmet has a V-shaped adjustable device for the purpose of equalizing pressure via your nose. To each their own I suppose.
VodkaSauce
No.
ThatOneGuyWhoDidThatOneThingAtThatOnePlaceThatOneTime
dbox
I would just die from the pain of that alone. I can't equalize unless I take pseudoephedrine. 12 feet and it feels like I popped an artery
iLoveSkiing
Try to overpressure by blowing air into your ears before going down
iLoveSkiing
Then continue to do this before it hurts. If it hurts you have to go back up to equalize. The key is to do it before it hurts.
dbox
tried that on a 40ft dive. never works for me. I just had to go down super slowly.
DeZaim
I get to about 6ft down and my head hurts like a bitch. Which sucks cos I actually enjoy swimming.

EmberBlush
Fun fact: Margot Robbie learned to hold her breath for 5 minutes during Suicide Squad by meditating to lower her metabolic rate.
VioletMoonRising
That's a silly way of doing, I'm surprised that worked.
McGoog
How is it? Means you need less oxygen?
VioletMoonRising
Improving your capacity is a much more reliable and easier method, consider that level of meditation requires years of practice.

God, that movie was so unmemorable, I totally forgot about that scene for a moment. And I remember useless shit from watching TNG 20 years a

Sorry it’s reserved for hero’s only
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
Well then make way, because I am a hero. This morning I dropped something and caught it before it landed on the floor.
TheNightWitches
She learned to hold her breath due to her needing it for the underwater scene. She also nearly drowned filming it.
EmberBlush
Uhhh, no she didn’t. Find me a source that says she almost drowned.
TheNightWitches
You are correct. It was Hernandez who nearly drowned. But Margot did train for her underwater scene.

RepostingForAwareness
20 years ago I would've jumped in and gone to the bottom, convinced that I could do it. Today I don't think my lungs or ears can take it.
wooferpoofer
Your lungs wouldn't be effected. The pressure would just make them shrink a bit. But yeah, if you couldn't clear your ears it would suck bad
infiniteblaze
I used to wonder why people did valsalva maneuvers, chewed gum, or yawned to equalize. I learned young how to open the canal w/o those.
Kronossan
I have very thin Eustachian tubes, unable to clear them and often have pressure issues and ear infections. Just a physical limitation.
wooferpoofer
All I have to do is make a swallowing motion with my tongue, for others it can be much more difficult, everyone is different.
infiniteblaze
True; I don't even have to make the swallowing motion. Somehow I just...figured out how to move the muscles. I can wiggle my ears, too.
