Hans Frederik Lehmann he’s doing dives no one else has done before (said right before that time stamp), making each dive he’s doing a first for any human
there are a few exceptional people on Earth who can do things no one else can aspire to, no matter what kind of training and effort they put in. He's one of those few for sure.
Just about any human can train to do whatever, the problem is not in the training, it is in the mind. Most humans do NOT have the mental strength to even wash their damn car...
Without the training, the mind could not follow! Some minds cannot even follow WITH training! And then there's those who apparently have a silent death wish! I just don't think too many people really care about a record that is going to be soon forgotten; who spends much time reading the Guinness Book, of Records? Only a few. It's probably not worth the huge chance of dying IF you have a life that's worth living and enjoying!
when he talks about the doctors telling him not to dive ever again... yet he doesn't listen. The amount of passion in his voice when he is describing getting back to the ocean and swimming again... that is real love!!!! awesome.
The art of freediving is really just fighting past the "comfortable" part. At around 2 minutes most people want to start breathing again. Then you fight past the urge to breath you enter another sort of flat spot where everything is okay. Then you hit the wall where you will start to struggle again and must get air or black out. People used to hyperventilate because it sorts of extends the point at which you feel the urge to breath. However it actually decreases the total time you can hold your breath, and the point at which you will black out. In short basically everything I learned in the 80's about free diving in now wrong. lol
To date, Herbert has achieved 33 official World Records across all freediving disciplines, and one world record in the traditional Greek discipline of Skandalopetra 107 m (351 ft). He surpassed his own No Limits depth with a dive in June 2012 to 253.2 meters (831 feet), suffering injury in the process. Nitsch holds the No-Limits record, the title of "Deepest man on Earth" in which the diver can make use of a weighted sled to descend as far as possible and uses an air-filled balloon to return to the surface. Nitsch set the world record in Spetses, Greece in June 2007 when he descended to 214 m (702 ft), beating his own record of 183 m (600 ft) set the previous year, coached by Marcus Greatwood. He also held the world record in the Constant Weight event, which is considered by many to be the classic free-diving discipline: the diver descends next to a line, not using the line and unaided by a sled, and must maintain a constant weight, meaning that no weight can be dropped for the return to the surface. Nitsch exceeded the then world record in 2006 when he dived to a depth of 110 m (361 ft), but failure to complete the strict surfacing protocols within the allotted time meant that the dive was disqualified. In Hurghada, Egypt, in December 2006 he did a Constant Weight World Record dive of 111 m (364 ft), adding 2 m on top of Guillaume Néry's previous record, this was his first record coached by Marcus Greatwood.
Lol...although actually being engaged in the video might make it hard to hold his breath that long. He has a completely blank mind to be able to hold his breath that long. When he said he fell asleep at 26m, that's because he's literally on the edge of that mental state the whole dive.
In the usa that's the way things are. To us. YOUR system is a pain in the ass. Vice Versace for you. Cry us a fuckin river build a bridge and get over it
Just to clear up a few things that this discovery channel-esque video tells you, it is INCREDIBLY hard to get the bends while freediving, and simply doesn’t happen to beginners or even advanced divers. Pros only. Herbert Nitsch goes far far deeper than regular divers, hence he needs to have safety stops on his comp and training dives. And though he’s an incredible dude, and one of my freediving heros, he’s also not seen as the best freediver in the world. Yes, he has gone waaaay deeper than anyone else just with the air in his lungs, but he does this in a discipline called “No Limits” which means he gets dragged up and down by a metal sled (like an elevator). He’s the best at this discipline but it’s outdated and discontinued because it’s more dangerous and far from “free”diving. The two recognised worlds best freedivers are Alexey Molchanov and William Trubridge. Maybe it’s just Alexey now. They propel themselves down and back up again only with their body (though get to only around 300-400ft). I don’t want to shit talk Nitsch, he is one of the greatest. I want to shit talk this misleading sensationalised “documentary”- all the same, I’m glad it’s been made.
I was under the impression you can't get the bends when free diving because there is no nitrogen buildup. You can only get nitrogen buildup if you breathe from an aqualung. Nitrogen in his body was inhaled at the surface so at surface pressure. Only way this could have happened was if he was breathing from an aqualung underwater or am I wrong?
@@joe-jg4bh Not the case. It's rare, and anyone who isn't an advanced freediver shouldn't need to know, but deep freediving compresses the nitrogen particles more than regular scuba diving. The only difference is that freedivers come up before nitrogen is accumulated in the tissues, and breathe it out. Pressure and time are what makes nitrogen build up in places your body isn't supposed to have gases. Imagine a zoo. There's some monkeys (nitrogen) in a cage (lungs) behind bars (cell membrane). They can come in and out of a door at the back (breathing), but they can't get to where you are looking at them (inside the cell). Now imagine that a few friendly zookeepers (pressure) comes along and they get smaller, and sometimes they can fit through the bars in their cage. Now, some of the monkeys are in your space, and that's okay, because these monkeys are great, and the zookeepers are keeping them calm. On a hookah or aqualung, that door at the back of their cage is open, and they keep coming in. While freediving, the door at the back is closed, but there's still a few of these monkeys about. Now, you just told all the zookeepers that you want them out of there in a hurry (ascending, losing pressure). They get rid of the monkeys they can, but there's some left. Now there's no one to keep the monkeys calm, and get them back in to their cage now, and they start going nuts, they're really big and angry and they're beating you up (You're on the surface and very sick.) That's how decompression sickness, aka the bends, works.
A high risk activity is called "high risk" for a reason. It will kill you eventually. But there is more to life than simply living out one's years... and this man has truly lived.
Not pointless. It's beautiful. I only go to a depth of 6 feet in the swimming pool but it's beautiful down there. I'd like to stay down there but I don't have gills. I'm 72 and don't plan on pushing the limits. It's fun, that's enough for me.
I snorkel regularly at a place with loads of international freedivers the with fancy gear and prep. A local fisherman with two bit of plywood on his feet went down waay deep. Legend!
@@MJLeger-yj1ww is that true? I've been asking so many free divers about this question how many Dives can you do in a day and how deep can you go where you will have no decompression sickness
@@tlpoutdoorsman Everyone's tolerance is different. You can dive all day long in water that isn't very deep and you can change tank after tank BUT, it doesn't pay to get tired to the point you will make mistakes, even in shallow water. The depth you can go also depends on your own body. So the answer can be different for different people. As for safety, read the research on SCUBA diving and you will learn the safety limits and features that are necessary. One important thing, learn from a qualified instructor who doesn't take chances and who has an excellent record. Experience and training can make all the difference in the world!

legend has it right before you drown a very calm relaxed sensation comes over you.. it's almost the same feeling you get while your sleeping or right before you fall asleep..
I don't think it's just legend, Matthew, there is some scientific evidence to prove those sensations do occur before you die -- maybe it's your brain telling you to go ahead and die peacefully! (They've asked people who died and were brought back to life with CPR, O2 and electric shock to the heart, and that's what they've reported.) I haven't seen exactly that while working in the ER and I don't really want to see it or test it! We've resuscitated people who have flat-lined, but none have told us about that sensation. I think it may have something to do with HOW you nearly die!
You panic because your whole life , your legacy, your responsibilities flash before you. Once you come to peace with everything you sleep. Death/ sleep will flee from everybody until you've observed all you should.
Well, that's not necessarily true, however, it's a nice thought of resolution, but it doesn't add up when the young die, who are far from "observing all you should!"
Yeah, I always wonder if the Bajaus are properly trained, can they easily break this world record? I once witnessed this a Bajau in Sabah, Borneo helped my brother to recover his gun which he accidentally dropped into the sea at night! A Bajau equipped with a self-made goggle and without the use of any flashlight just dived in and managed to retrieve the gun! It felt like more than 3 minutes to me since we didn't actually time how long he dived!
Quando la natura decide di divertirsi, crea combinazioni genetiche e cellulari che portano alla creazione di esseri unici come Herbert Nitsch. E' stato capace di risalire da 250 metri, ma più di ogni altra cosa di risalire dall'abisso mentale dove era precipitato in seguito al suo incidente. Ogni volta che lo rivedo resto senza parole. Uno spettacolo meraviglioso......
I am a Free diver , in my prime I could free dive to over 200 feet leisurely & stalk , spear fish & return to the surface. Although I have been " narced" many , many times Free diving , I never knew it was possible to get decompression sickness from freediving. Then , although I had been timed diving over 7 minutes { I never pay attention to time} I have never gone even 400 feet depth , this guy Herbert amazes me , 830 feet ! Wow ! I never knew anyone went that deep free diving & without a sled, which I would not use either . Beyond impressive .
the record for constant balance(self propelled) is 130m(429 ft). The record for No Limits(with sled) is 210m(just under 700ft). Im assuming his attempt at 800+ft was with the assistance of a sled.
We are so proud that he chose our bio-metal mask understanding our effort and passion we spent on our product. Thanks to this video, otherwise we would never know of such honorable fact....🙏
I went for a 10-meter sea walk today at Elephant Beach in Andaman, and I felt pressure on my ears after reaching a depth of 5 meters. I can't even imagine how challenging it must be to go down to 831 feet. This guy is a REAL LEGEND.
I've always wanted to free dive but unfortunately I live pretty far away from the sea. But my current goal is to hold my breath for at least 10-15 minutes. I just broke my personal record and held my breath for 2 minutes and 10 secs, and it's getting easier and easier with every try.
@@dermitdemziel the world record is 24.5 minutes. Professional divers go for 15 minutes without air while diving in the sea without equipment. There is also a tribe somewhere in indonesia or malasiya that have been diving for thousands of years and have evolved to have larger spleens than normal people. As a result, they can hold their breath for ≈ 10 minutes on average. So yeah, lung capacity is very much trainable.
His VO2 max is irrelevant because he is attempting to keep his rate of oxygen metabolism as low as possible. Approaching basal metabolic rate of 3.5ml/kg/min. VO2 max is a measure of maximal O2 uptake and is a good indicator of when your muscle cells will shift from oxidative phosphorylation (sustainable) to anaerobic glycolysis (unsustainable) during maximal effort exercise. He is barely exercising at all and working to reduce O2 consumption as much as possible.
Can you please tell me the exact brand name and the model of the diving mask at minute 4:25? Please please i would be very hapy about it! Thank you very much in advance😉😉😉😉😉😉

I'm scared of heights but I love depths
@@reelillusionl123 not so much
What an incredible, beautiful man. Cheers to him!
9 minutes????? I can barely hold my breath long enough to get my hair wet in the shower without panicking 🤔😢😆💀
😂😂🤣😂🤣
You don’t need to hold your breath in the shower
Me: holding my breath outside 2min
Me holding my breath underwater 10seconds
People are always like, “ReTuRn To MoNkE”
But we should actually return to fishe
herbert, du bist und bleibst einfach nur faszinierend! alles gute weiterhin.
The Badjaos, a sea-people tribe, have been free diving for centuries. They walk on sea floors too. No gears. But this man is just as amazing .
Yeah, I always wonder if the Bajaus are properly trained, can they easily break this world record? I once witnessed this a Bajau in Sabah, Borneo helped my brother to recover his gun which he accidentally dropped into the sea at night! A Bajau equipped with a self-made goggle and without the use of any flashlight just dived in and managed to retrieve the gun! It felt like more than 3 minutes to me since we didn't actually time how long he dived!
Most amazing to me is that they say he holds 33 world records in a sport that only has 8 disciplines! What sorcery is this!?
Christoph Thade
It also helps that only 9 people do it and 4 of them are dead already.
They definitely worded it wrong. He broke world records 32 times in 8 official disciplines, most of them his own, but only 1 still stands.
Big man, big friend mi viejo amigo hermano del mar. GRANDE I hope to see you soon
Amazing
One of the most amazing things and persons I have ever seen! So inspirational!!!
Quando la natura decide di divertirsi, crea combinazioni genetiche e cellulari che portano alla creazione di esseri unici come Herbert Nitsch. E' stato capace di risalire da 250 metri, ma più di ogni altra cosa di risalire dall'abisso mentale dove era precipitato in seguito al suo incidente. Ogni volta che lo rivedo resto senza parole. Uno spettacolo meraviglioso......
I am a Free diver , in my prime I could free dive to over 200 feet leisurely & stalk , spear fish & return to the surface.
Although I have been " narced" many , many times Free diving , I never knew it was possible to get decompression sickness from freediving.
Then , although I had been timed diving over 7 minutes { I never pay attention to time} I have never gone even 400 feet depth , this guy Herbert amazes me , 830 feet !
Wow !
I never knew anyone went that deep free diving & without a sled, which I would not use either .
Beyond impressive .
the record for constant balance(self propelled) is 130m(429 ft). The record for No Limits(with sled) is 210m(just under 700ft). Im assuming his attempt at 800+ft was with the assistance of a sled.
Simply amazing human. The one, true Aquaman, if ever there was one.
respectneds on an high level, people never will reach !! Wahnsinns Leistung Herr Nietsch!!€
I’m thirteen and I can hold my breath for 2 1/2 minutes and I’m trying to be just like him
We are so proud that he chose our bio-metal mask understanding our effort and passion we spent on our product. Thanks to this video, otherwise we would never know of such honorable fact....🙏
and i go 6m in a pool and start to feel pain in my ears cant imagine 252m.
because you must equalize
Careful, you can easily damage your ears at that depth if you don't equalize. Luckily, equalization is easy!
Yeah. Equalize. You should do it every 1-2 metres usually. Regularity depends on each person but everyone has to do it.
It also depends on how deep you are. The deeper you are, the less frequently you have to equalize.
How do you equalize?
Thank you. 😊
MAGNIFIQUE
I honestly didn't know this is humanly possible. Wow.
But how did he not breath in water when he fell asleep?🙊
Must be some serious training haha
yea, i want to understand this too! i don't get it!!
Ash instinct or training, probably.
Mamal reflex or somethig like that
ASh
I don't think he meant it literally.
Thank you for taking the free diving opportunity serious.
Lies. The deepest man on earth is Jaden Smith
Puggie bum hole?
Jaden Smith isn't a man.
U don't know nothing about jaden smith
You win.
Isn’t jaden Smith will Smith’s weird kid?? God, that thing is messed up looking.
the bubbles from the scuba diving cameraman at the end behind the boat is gold😂😂
I held my breath for 3:02 while watching this :)
I went for a 10-meter sea walk today at Elephant Beach in Andaman, and I felt pressure on my ears after reaching a depth of 5 meters. I can't even imagine how challenging it must be to go down to 831 feet. This guy is a REAL LEGEND.
I've always wanted to free dive but unfortunately I live pretty far away from the sea. But my current goal is to hold my breath for at least 10-15 minutes. I just broke my personal record and held my breath for 2 minutes and 10 secs, and it's getting easier and easier with every try.
Nobody has ever held their breath for 15 minutes.
@@dermitdemziel the world record is 24.5 minutes. Professional divers go for 15 minutes without air while diving in the sea without equipment. There is also a tribe somewhere in indonesia or malasiya that have been diving for thousands of years and have evolved to have larger spleens than normal people. As a result, they can hold their breath for ≈ 10 minutes on average. So yeah, lung capacity is very much trainable.
@@dermitdemziel not to mention, humans can use something called the mammalian dive reflex to naturally boost their lung capacity while underwater.
@@mariojuric2871 The world record is 11:35 minutes (Stephane Mifsud).
@@dermitdemziel no. Google it.
What i want to know is, how did he not breathe while he fell asleep underwater? Ugh, that's terrifying.
Watching this gave me asthma
9 minutes. WOW a lot of work,desaplan, practice, and confidence thanks Bearhunter5
Austrians are crazy. And I can say that since I'm an Austrian myself🇦🇹
I didn’t know this was possible. Absolutely amazing
I wonder what this dudes VO2 max is...
His VO2 max is irrelevant because he is attempting to keep his rate of oxygen metabolism as low as possible. Approaching basal metabolic rate of 3.5ml/kg/min.
VO2 max is a measure of maximal O2 uptake and is a good indicator of when your muscle cells will shift from oxidative phosphorylation (sustainable) to anaerobic glycolysis (unsustainable) during maximal effort exercise. He is barely exercising at all and working to reduce O2 consumption as much as possible.
@@Morcombe201 You must actually be an expert, very good response. thank you
Did this randomly pop into anybody else’s recommended?
*reads title*
So is he some kind of poetry master or something....
Coors Light tastes like water too.
This dudes mom had a shower installed at home when she realised he was underwater for 9 mins at a time in the bath tub
Wow... amazing, first time hearing of and seeing him, good stuff.
His lung capacity has more capacity than my matic scooter fuel tank capacity
🤣🤣🤣
Can you please tell me the exact brand name and the model of the diving mask at minute 4:25? Please please i would be very hapy about it! Thank you very much in advance😉😉😉😉😉😉
