I wanna swim like that but i can only hold my breath for like...10 seconds lol

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Take a freediving course! You'll be able to do this type of thing with a bit of training.

[@annaboetticher]

you can totally learn that!

Daan Verhoeven northern Ireland has pretty cold seas lol... not as blue and warm and clear as most places 😂 never say never though

[@DaanVerhoeven]

I know what you mean -we teach in Cornwall, pretty but kinda cold. It's fine if you wear a thick enough wetsuit, though; there's a really good Irish freediving teacher i know, so pm me if you need his details.

go for it!

[@Babygorl1209]

My family is from Long Island, Bahamas where this hole is. Videos like this are awe-inspiring and also very anxiety provoking. How vast and incomprehensible the ocean is.

[@DaanVerhoeven]

oh, Long Island is so lovely! And yes, the ocean is full of secrets.

[@daydreamdesign]

It is as much space as what nasa gave us for space. Untill we can explore all the depths of the oceans I’ll never believe a ship can chart the skies. If a telescope can look millions of miles in the dark in space why can’t we see the bottom of the oceans? Go figure

[@gabrielbraz9669]

​​​​@@daydreamdesignually, exploring Earth's oceans is extremely difficulty. We can see distants stars because between us and then, there's nothing, it's completely empty, there isn't even air. So because of this, the light of that star can travel and reach us. But light can't travel far in the water, about 100 meters (or 300 feet) there isn't any sunlight anymore, everything bellow this depth is in complete darkness. And without light, we can see nothing. And there is another major difficulty in studying the oceans: the pressure. We have air all around us, and this air has some weight, and it causes some pressure in us, but because we are used to it we just ignore. We measure the atmospheric pressure in atmospheres, so at the beach, we have 1 atm (one atmosphere) of pressure. The International Space Station (ISS) is in space, where it is in complete vacuum, or 0 atm. So it has to endure 1 atm of pressure difference to keep the inside of it pressurized. And it is a lot. In space movies, when a hole is opened on the ship, people are ejected out of it because of this bigger internal pressure that pushes everything outward. But on the ocean is different, every 10 meters (30 feet) of depth you go, the pressure of the water increases by 1 atm. So at 90 meters (270 feet), the pressure already is at 10 atm. A submarine at this depth would have to endure a 9 atms difference. So a submarine hull needs to be 9 times stronger then the ISS's. And at the deepest point in the sea, the Marianna's Trench, at a depth of almost 11 thousand meters, or almost 8 miles, the pressure is more than 1100 atm. A submarine to go this deep needs to be more than a thousand times stronger than the ISS. At this depth, each square inch of the hull needs to hold the weight of the Eiffel Tower on top of it. Yes, one Eiffel Tower for each and every square inch of the submarine. This is just completely absurd. Exploring the space is hard and expensive because of the Rocket Equation, and the sun's radiation, and some other things. But the biggest problem in exploring space is just the isolation, is far away from everything, and expensive and time consuming to send help. But exploring Earth's oceans is almost impossible, because of the huge Water Pressure.

[@Glariantov]

Actually 1 foot equal 0,3 meter. It means 90 meters equal 300 feet. ;)

[@nalisajackson547]

When I was younger I use to free drive before I even knew what is was it was such a stress reliever. Working up to holding my breath for 1.5 mins was awesome but then when I was 12 we moved away from the beach and I stopped

[@DaanVerhoeven]

it's a wonderful feeling, kinda like flying in dreams. You can do it too -just take a freediving course!

[@annaboetticher]

you can absolutely have this feeling, you don't need to be a deep freediver or an athlete, even a beginner can already experience truly magic moments. Take a course and enjoy!

[@dshizzlelongway9981]

And it ain't just a few meters down and its complete darkness you have to understand that meters turn into feet very quicky,sun light isnt visible at only 90 feet or barley visible if at all,could you imagine going a normal 150 200 foot for a scuba diver,I'm not sure on those numbers but for a half way experienced scuba diver just a casual day out diving 150 feet 44 46ish meters is pretty normal,not exact with the meters yet but working on it.,feet and foot is so stupid we should have just stuck with meters it's more precise.

I love the sea badly and I'm quite fast to swim underwater, but not too deep. The moment I dive straight down and I see it's deep, I panic and I turn back quickly. To my bad luck, nobody around me likes to swim far away - let alone dive, so I'm always left alone to try this and I'm scared, but I guess if I have someone to dive with me, I would dare to go deeper.
