The best thing about diving is that there is nobody talking. Everything is calm and you can feel a certain magic under water. Its like deep meditation, you just observe the beauty of the now! Great Video!
thank you - i love that stillness too
@@DaanVerhoeven as a swimmer that’s what I love so much about it. The calm, the peace in the ocean or in a pool
I honestly didn't know how to explain my feeling about diving untill this, wonderful.
And the feeling of floating
Only problem is that you can’t breathe
“The slower your heart beats, the calmer you are”
You forgot “until you black out”
yes, that's a little too calm!
I was almost blacked out by just watching this video at bed
Peter Tien wait your joking right?
I admire those who have mind control over their surroundings. The ability to control one's breathing and reach depths where most divers with scuba gear would probably not be able to go, shows how fantastic the human body is. I believe plasma leaves the blood and enters the spaces in the bones when greater depths are reached and then returns to the blood when the free divet resurfaces. It goes to show how we have developed over many years and now are hoping to conquer the universe.
@@whoisme678 Hi, i'm curious about all this stuff because i want to start the practice of this discipline. Why a diver with gear will not be able to reach some depths and freedivers can?
It’s people like this that show us what we are capable of.
Brave souls
thank you - our students are always surprised about what they can do on breath hold
There is a method of swallowing your breath to each heart beat! Takes practise & when you can hold it for 1:45 in a deep swimming pool, it's amazing how you feel under the water.
“The deeper you go, the slower your heart beats....”
Until finally, it’ll stop altogether.
yes, it will eventually
😂😂😂😂
Me Your 69 likes Nein nein I'm so Proud!
So it would be painless death?
even though that would happen well beyond your human threshold xD
It ain't no easy job, following somebody to the bottom of the canyon, dragging a full frame camera in the housing down and up, thumbs up for an effort, well done! 👏👏👏💙
Thank you Pavol - it did make me a bit nervous!
Well, there are streams of bubbles exiting the crack/cave area so that does tell me that there are SCUBA divers down there as well.
Still an amazing feat nonetheless!
yes, there were some scuba divers - we had to plan our freediving around them. All of this film was shot on breath hold.
@@DaanVerhoeven Thank you sir for the awesome video! In the water humans can "fly" like birds. Just imagine, if you were in the same place but during the ice age about 13k years ago. You would be standing above sea level. At that time the level of global ocean was about 100 meters lower than it is today.
i love that flying sensation
Ocean is just like a different world.
That’s because it is, imagine a year where we know everything about anything underwater and we’ve been everywhere underwater from the Mariana Trench to a lake. That’s when it stops being a different world. I’ve always thought of the oceans and especially the Mariana Trench as an entirely new, undiscovered, unknown world, and I think you should too.
@Almighty Xavier unfortunately that is the way this world operates.
@@BakGorkem better we dont go into the voids, theres probably leviathan creatures down here that didn't came up because of the pressure effect making feel them like they are in a "jail", we dont even know a 20% of the ocean and theres creatures like " The black carpet" wich can be 1,6km long or even more.
It is
@@Macferny bro you talk mad shit, gigantism doesnt work down there because there is no food for your leaviathans. You played too much subnauticq
1:25 damn just imagine chilling at 40 meters under water and thinking about life....
The idea is to not think about life. Or anything at all.
@@snarlbuckle skill in action.
@@snarlbuckle nailed it
I would've been out of breath just looking at the hole.
hahaha, yes, it was a bit intimidating from the surface!
É preciso ter coragem e muito fôlego, pra fazer mergulhos como este. Parabéns.
@JONAH SPECK you are giving too much excuses
@@dowsha3747 he’s not completely wrong on the fact that breathing through your mouth isn’t that pleasant, they have made air helmets in the past with a long hose which allowed breathing through the nose but it’s more limited and dangerous I think as well. I’m not sure if anything more advanced could be made though
anyone else notice that he has no eye protection in salt water, gigachad
Absolutely! Real FREEdiving
Better than wasting breath equalising a mask...
Salt water hurts so much less than freshwater, cause your eyes are literally covered in salt water naturally
What you've given us is at the same time spiritual and educational, beautiful and true.
thank you, that's kind of you to say!
I’ve been learning to free dive lately. My personal record is 1:10 at 20ft deep. It’s so calm that even when you’re out of breath, you don’t want to go up.
that’s very impressive! keep pushing and enjoy the beauty of the water
For your safety, don't do it alone. You never know what could happen to you in the depth
@@_Gx2most basic rule for any kind of diving
The fact that he’s not even wearing goggles 😳
It probably was blurry as hell
@@_Turtle_420 salt water burns your eyes also
@@cadecannon5746 You get used to it
@@Toahmisae how?
@@NaryVynnsark Exposure. Just open your eyes under water. I always get used to it after a couple of days of swimming in the ocean, maybe even faster.
Thank you for putting it so concisely. There were times when I couldn’t express it, I only knew that when I was freediving regularly I never had depressive or anxious episodes, freediving was like therapy for me. Plus the fact that I had a really bad knee (just got it replaced) and I lived with pain on land, but under the water I could fly! The freedom was incredible. Speaking of which, I just finished my physical therapy for my knee replacement and I’m going freediving again ASAP!
that's great to hear! I've had my share of knee issues (used to play too much basketball), so i feel your pain - hope it's a thing of the past now! Take it gentle on those no fin dives!
Loved to see the safety. It's such a nice part of the dive when you see your friend
i love that bit, especially during a hard dive it's such a relief, and during a nice dive you can share the moment
this blows my mind, absolutely amazing and inspiring. It really emphasizes the "free" in "free diving"
Thank you - we wanted to see if we could emphasise that aspect, see if we could capture it
This sums up all the reasons why I freedive... literally, rhetorically, metaphorically and visually.
Chapeau, this video is a masterpiece.
thank you Gunnar - glad you like it!
Awesome!
thank you!
Thank you
@@yumnamnongshaba1364 😂
@@yumnamnongshaba1364 your welcome
This has become my favorite video on the internet. I actually like to meditate to it! Both you(Daan Verhoeven) and Stig Pryds did an absolutely amazing job and you are both inspirational! Thank you both!
This is the canyon in Dahab, very beautiful place. When i freediving in it, there was a big awesome green grouper swimming by my side. Thank you for the good mood!
thank you - it's an amazing place, isn't it?
He / she was there just over a year ago as well
@@DaanVerhoeven , didn't see anything more wonderful
!
*This video literally gave another meaning to "Slow down."* ❤
yes - i tend to move at the pace of water, which is quite a bit slower than air
will make a deep aquarium to experience this depth but I will never go outside since fear is a real thing for me
Idk why but for some reason to me it'd be more scary in an aquarium than the open ocean...
@@rachelrose4691 when I was 6 years old, I didn't know how to swim and one day I went to river to learn swimming then I drowned and went underwater. it was a deep river. I was dying but suddenly I saw another person swimming and I grabbed him. he wanted to protect himself as he was of my age. then somehow by the will of almighty I was saved. and since then I have fear of swimming in open water sources.
As bad as it was for you.
You didn’t die.
And you know God is watching over you.
Stay blessed.
@@GediSpock God is merciful supreme. Glory be to him and praise be to him, indeed he is watching us and have given us everything what we have asked for. thank you.
@@DiscoverHealth have you considered therapy, dude?
Wow, love this video and concept. Hands down to Stig and Daan!
Thank you Junya!
This is such an amazing film! the cinematography is outstanding love it!
thank you!
Jck lws tq
I really need to free dive.
Yes, do it! It's wonderful
@@DaanVerhoeven how where when?
google AIDA International or SSI freediving, and they can show you an instructor in your area
@@DaanVerhoeven I'm self taught, would like to find an instructor but time and funds are an issue. I can only go about 25ft (30 absolute Max) and am trying to get others to go with me. Funner and safer. Definitely will be checking out your channel for tips.
Hey Adam, yes, please do get a course soon as you can! Meantime, there's good stuff here: freedivingsafety.com/ and check out Adam Stern's channel.
I love that every word of your video in this channel has a deeper meaning. Not only water and diving, but also - life, people. Yourself and personal growth. You are very inspiring. Love your channel
Thank you Dorjanas - i get really inspired by this sport and the people i practise it with, i'm glad you picked up on that!
I’d love to breath underwater and pretend to fly
yes, i often dream about that
@@DaanVerhoeven You can acheive that by becoming a Scuba Diver!
Why not skydive then :)
@@DaanVerhoeven how do you not come to surface? I can only dive by pushing myself
@@RAW_VLOG Because you’re not flying, you’re free falling.
You always make such engaging films! This one is no exception. The dream team is back!
Thank you - i love working with Stig!

I saw this video for the first time a year ago, and it resonated with something inside my soul. I knew I was born to do this. I finally got my pool certification, and hopefully I’ll pass my open water test this weekend!
Will done Tristen, and good luck this weekend!
I agree. Sitting in the depths of water where it is blocking out the sound and making you listing inwards is a special experience. I haven’t gone swimming in clear water for over 10 years to relax in its serenity but I feel the call watching this
such a great feeling
just watching this makes my heart pumping.... so scary
It really is the most calming experience on the planet. I meditate in my pool every day. It’s not super deep so I have to go down on an empty lung to sink and I only last a few minutes before contractions start but it’s still very calming.
i hope someone is keeping an eye on you?
Once immerse in water the calmness makes you feel like you're in a magical world. Colourful fishes, coral reef. Surrounded by beauty of nature in quietness. This sort of experience makes you feel really wonderful.
agreed!
Breathless, here is a 1000 likes, you deserve every one of it 👏👏👏😍 thank you for sharing 😍
thank you Estelle!
after watching your video I could have gone through 26m dive at k26 - I kept thinking of your "I don't have a death wish, I have a depth wish" underwater hahah it became my mantra whenever I dive. Thank you so much for this beautiful video and thanks for the braveness!!🥳❤️
Congratulations on reaching 26!
What a beautiful video!
I can't imagine holding my breath for so long, let alone while expanding the energy to swim and explore.
Simply Amazing !! fantastic video
Awesome! I love the standing freefall🤩
Thank you!
How is this even possible... I swim to the bottom of a 6ft pool and it feels like my ears are going to implode. How does your body handle that kind of pressure? How do your lungs not rupture as the pressure decreases drastically as you return to the surface and the air in your lungs expands, or the air in your blood. Like this is legit super human, even ignoring how long you hold your breath for... I'm blown away
Check out 'frenzel equalisation'
This video changed my day. Tks.
I hope for the better?
I'm totally perplexed and in awe. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just like swimming with the fish 🤗
Same here - deep fish!
This is completely gorgeous, thanks for sharing this beautiful experience and idea with us, made my night one hundred percent better :)
Thank you Juliana, that's kind of you to say!
Every single video on this channel inspire me so much. Thank you
that's so kind of you to say!
I have found my god today!!Spent 10 minutes with intervals,going down my 22ft pool and now I am unbelievably relaxed and my breath is extremely slow , I am more and more aware of things on land. My mind is easy and stable. This is elixir, right here. Thank you Sir!!.
hahaha, wait till you do your course, you'll get some really good sensations then!
Lovely, well explained Stig!
thank you Kars!
When I was young, i could hold my breath for several minutes and dive quite deep, untill my ear popped and i almost died. My orientation was gone and didnt know what was up or down. I just saw the deep blue and sunlight everywhere. Then i saw the bubbles which came out of my ear and i started to follow them because they always go to the surface. That saved my life because i managed to get up right at time...since then I never dive again but i love the sea. I miss diving because i was always chilling at the bottom and had total piece down there.
how is your ear / orientation now? maybe you can try scuba diving - that's safer than free diving
@@monique3984 hai Monique. My orientation is fine and according to the medics, my ear recovered. I do scuba dive but when i go lets say 1 or 2 meters deep, i feel a lot of pressure at my ear so thats scarry.
Incredible footage
I love this video. Amazing and relaxing. My heart's need some like that...
man that was awesome!
really made my evening!
you sir have a great soul!
thank you - Stig is a great man!
This place in Egypt in dahab ,near from the blue hole
it is indeed
Wow, really?!? I'm gonna be there in July 😍
enjoy!
@@allyhvis6046 I'm sorry
@@ulf63 😂😂😂 hopefully he's still able to go
Wow! Thx for sharing
Beautiful... so relaxing
Glad you enjoyed it!
This dude is just casually meditating
underwater.
Imagine if he had to cough or sneeze.
He's in the water and his mouth and nose is close so no way
You are amazing Sir.
i agree!
This is i think the most POWER foul message You can take from this video - The deeper You go, the slower Your heart beats, the calmer You are. This is the ultimate answer for life.
Thanks.
I finally hit a 4min breath hold and I feel I’m almost ready to go down🤗
This man has the power to not breath.
I think you’ll find everyone has the power to no breathe, it’s called holding your breath…
Beautiful, and I loved the narration! Thank you!
Thank you too!
Beautiful beyond words. 🥺
Thank you, that's so kind of you to say!
Hola saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Hola!
And here I am not able to be underwater for 4 seconds without breath
So Inspirational... Being this depth while holding your breath is an unique experience, probably like being in space with no suit.
Fantastic Brother! Love the message and the delivery. Keep up the great work inspiring others. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
thank you Styli - it was our pleasure making this movie
Great, Styg ! )
He says "Heyyyy"!
Just born to DIVE)
"The deeper you go, the slower your heart beats"
Same. My heart is beating so slow underwater rn I think it sto-
This was so simple, beautiful and relax. Thanks and take care!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So perfect description, so insightfull. So appropriate, as much as a freediver as a person in his daily self explorations.
Thank you Francesco!
I would love to play chess at the bottom, with a long oxygen pipe to avoid resurfacing,, awesome dude 😎
long pipe! This is at 100 feet deep - you'd need a compressor as well
Daan Verhoeven Oh yes of course, I have never been deep diving but, is it to do with not poisoning your blood based on the water pressure.?
But yeh a pure stone slab for the board, some stone carved chess pieces would be awesome to not float up, the knight could be a seahorse and the king could be Atlantis or Aquaman 😅
the water pressure at 100 feet is 4 times the atmospheric pressure, which means if you want to inhale 1 liter of air there, you'd have to suck down 4 liters of air from the surface, through a very long tube; you simply don't have the lung power. That's why they need compressed air or a compressor on top. And yes, you'd have to be careful when ascending, as the nitrogen you've been breathing might come out of solution if you come up too fast.
The sea horse piece would be very cool, though!
Daan Verhoeven thank u for the knowledge and insight 👍
1:00 how players get to the bottom of the sea before the ocean update.
huh?
@@DaanVerhoeven I think it's a video game reference. A game called Minecraft. It's just building with blocks and stuff and there's an ocean update in it. Look it up if you want.
ahh, got it, thanks!
Dear Daan, how long my friend. I would like to thank you for your message a lot! Today I started my activities with a fast heart beating, with a lot of anxiety and some scare about the future after some news.
I saw this magnificent video and after that, I heard it again with my eyes closed and trying to support my feelings with your words... You know what? It works! Blesses over you.
That's so nice to read! Glad you could apply it.
Wieder ein sehr schönes Video. Deine Aufnahmen sind immer sehr beeindruckend.
Danke!

Much love, brother.
Much appreciated
Haunting and Majestic at the same time. Great video!
Excellent. Bravo! This is it.
thank you!
Jus training to hold my breath made more relaxed. It's been more effective than any meditation.
Fantástico. Parabéns pelo seu desempenho.
Absolutely phenomenal
Stig is incredible, such a gifted athlete
The feeling is beyond words
what a piece of art! you have chosen your words very carefully, i got goose bumps all over my body.
Thank you - we had fun recording this
Why do I love watching this ....its beautiful
thank you!
🙏BIG THANKS for the video and the message, the timing couldn't have been better. Greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴👍👍
our pleasure!
Amazing as always. When he stood there at the bottom, thats why i wanna freedive, to explore the ocean like flying on land.
right? It's a bit like those dreams where you can fly
Wederom een pakkend verhaal met mooie beelden & montage.
Ga zo door Daan!
Dank je Niels!
great explanation of your view
Amazing, I am not ther but by watching you i can feel how relaxed you are.
excellent - that's what we were hoping to achieve!
Beautiful. Thank you. 💝🙏🤲
our pleasure!
Loved it for the exact reason you said in your video .
Beautiful !
Thank you!
Amazing visibility 💙
I wish that everyone could experience this.
Nicely captured.
Thank you - it is a beautiful experience.
The cool thing about real meditation, is that it brings everything found beneath the sea to ones cushion, sitting in ones bedroom or on a patch of grass outdoors. You can sit as long as you like, for hours if desired, without needing any other activity to get you there. A direct line to the self, so to speak.
possibly, but depth can act as a catalyst.
Wow, amazing. You're a super hero.
Wow, simply wow. ❤️🙏❤️ from Montréal.
💙
Your videos calms my anxiety
This video is a meditation it makes me feel calm and relaxing
yes - so happy you feel that way!
When you took the step to jump down the crack, reminds you of life. Until we take the plunge and push yourself you just dont know how far you will go. My friend you are living the dream. Ty for sharing it.
exactly!
The slower your heart beats the calmer you are
You are absolutely amazing guy! Shalom.
Stig is indeed!
What a beautiful experience for only the finest . Great story, Thks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
