      jay thompson - I hate to break the news, but that is pretty much the point of this so-called “sport”. It is not a sport, it’s an attention grabbing stunt. Note: I am not referring to those that free dive recreationally, as an alternative to scuba.

    I learned to swim at a very Young Age. My Father was a Scuba Diver in the Army , and He taught Me well. It's very natural , I Think , for Humans to be in water. As I grew older , and spent less time in water ; I even have become , "afraid" of things in the Ocean. But then I tell Myself that when I was Ten yrs. Old I was not so phobiatic. Too many Movies and fear related News today..

    I think competitive free diving began in the Baths at Aberdare Park. In Wales! I could swim a length of the pool underwater by about 9yrs old! Most of my pals could do it too. We couldn’t go deep really as we lived in the Valleys far away from the sea. Had I known you could make money doing it, I’d have tried harder. I’m going back to the 60’s now.

    been scuba diving since 1982.
    haven’t blacked-out in 1000+ dives.
    but i’ve seen quite a few free divers have a rotten time when the current is ripping or the visibility is bad.....i still had a great scuba dive.
    Must be a form of low oxygen meditation....kinda like alcohol drying the hemoglobin/plasma and depriving the brain of oxygen. Come to think of it, free diving calls me every Friday night.

    • @andrepricardo
      @andrepricardo 5 років тому +4

      Because it switches your dive from freediving to scuba diving, so you have to end your dive as a scuba diver which can make it quite dangerous. The breathing techniques are completely different, in scuba you are constantly breathing and never should stop breathing, while freediving you equalise with the same air you breath at the surface. AIDA says do not accept air from a scuba diver.

    • @Deano647
      @Deano647 5 років тому +7

      Any air you breathed from a tank at depth will expand in your lungs as you surface and the water pressure decreases. A lungful of air off a tank, even as shallow as 10m will double in volume to the surface. Your lungs are quite delicate and cannot take that kind of pressure and will rupture. This is commonly fatal as air bubbles enter your blood stream and can be carries to the brain where they lodge in the smaller blood vessels. This causes a blockage of blood flow and results in stroke like symptoms which can cause per amnesty brain death and other injuries. When freediving this does not happen because you start and finish with the snake volume air (one breath). Nor does it usually happen in scuba because divers are taught to breathe continuously so you never ascend on scuba holding your breath. That said, lung injuries do happen in scuba occasionally for this very reason by inexperienced divers or as a result of an emergency and a panicked diver ascending and holding their breath
