Freediving to 30m - Learning To Dive With Just One Breath Of Air!

[@CoronIslandFreediver]

I love freediving. Hoping to finish my course this month. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@stephanedolais623]

❤ I am a French diver in Panama. I am very excited about it and improve my skills by inspiring videos. Thank you very much guys!!!!

[@justintheconer]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@AlexanderHonsVonEber]

Awesome.... beautiful & inspiring.. I love seeing people reach new highs, and in a way feel proud of you. Or for you?! Cheers mate. I hope you keep pushing- within reason and within your enjoyment..

[@GoreTheSummoner]

or deeps ;d

[@Pedro285]

Great work mate. Good to see your progression - did you make a video on your Egypt level 1 training? Keen on doing a free-dive course someday.

[@Blarisa]

Great video! I'd love to hear about your equalization experiences and techniques (as a 'baby' freediver).

[@wonderingwanderer6782]

Definitely inspired to visit Giliair, so beautiful 😍

[@LarjieGamer]

Congratulations. Only started freediving this year. Did Molchanov's wave 1. PB is 22meters. I'm hoping to do Wave 2 soon. Biggest challenge so far is equilising after 20 meters and No fins.

[@noreenoshea2883]

great achievement! well done!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

thank you! it was a lot of fun!

[@jaredmajor6920]

Great video! What's your current PB, have you challenged yourself anymore since then?

[@surface2wherever]

Very nice account of a level 2 course!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Thank you!

[@TheTurtleOfGods]

Upload more! I am a simple man, I see freedive, I click

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Ok will do! Im not in a freediving place at the moment due to global issues but when the world becomes more free again i want to do my level 3 course!

[@FauzyZacky]

Whooa cool mate! Congratulations I just did only 12 meters for free diving, miss that locations so much Gili, Lombok 😍

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

12m is awesome! Good job

[@timo3626]

Good effort. Pushing personal boundaries 👍🏻

[@alex46801]

Starting 11:25, so peaceful and tranquil, especially with your great choice of music.

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

thank you! I was trying to give some idea of what it is like under the water. Sometimes if you are in the right country you can hear the whales, especially when you go down deeper

[@alex46801]

@@WildKiwiAdventurer starting 11:10 the camera work at the bottom and narration leading up to seeing you appear from a little, black blob against a small window of surface light is amazing. You did great. I could imagine being deep in the water, feeling the surrounding and hearing the sound of whales while looking up at you. You have an awesome life brother, from George River and now to this. Stay safe my friend.

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

@@alex46801 thank you! I had the go pro mounted on the bottom eight for over an hour to get those shots, and I was very happy with how they turned out!

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

Ok …a noob question…is it ok to take a small bottle of AiR for just in case scenario’s??Thsnks thanks and safe dives🙌🙌🙌

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

No absolutely not. If you breath air down there at depth, when you come up it expands and your lungs and air passages will explode and you can easily die.

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

@@WildKiwiAdventurer Thought as much….thank you so much for your time 🙌🙌

[@daviddowie828]

I have just lost my 23 yr old son to the lure of freediving in Rhodes. This is the most dangerous thing you can do with fins on. He was training there on a 3 month master diver course...so very familiar with Scuba diving. So many people blackout...or SIPE. Its diving version of Russian Roulette....please dont do this unless you want your family to get a very sad phonecall to tell them you have drowned.

[@juanbolivar35]

WOW! 30 M!, that is a lot!.... I failed my FD course due I couldn't equalize, I was able to hold my breath for 3:15 in static apnea, but it is frustrating not being able to go all the way down.... someday I will try again

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Thats a shame that you cant equalise and its certainly one of the harder things to do for some people. But you should try again with a different instructor because that can really make a big difference

[@moonstrat]

please chill with the music

[@moonstrat]

But still cool

[@SpeakUrMindShareUrWords]

New Subscriber catching up on your previous videos!! Free divers are amazing... It’s all about control n knowing your body!! I’m living vicariously through you!! Thank you so much for sharing. You’re quite inspirational!!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@lunan491]

So peaceful...

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

yes it is very peaceful under the water! sometimes you can hear whales too

[@MichaelHooten85]

im going this weekend for my first class, hoping to as well as you! great video!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Awesome! Have fun!

[@wdyahnke]

This is a crazy cool skill! Good job on a new personal best = )

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

thank you very much!

[@saifalarabi4491]

What are the best underwater googles for clear view underwater? Do you have a suggestion?

[@robdonell9915]

It’s helpful to mention how much weight (I missed it ).

[@said0725]

From Morocco 🇲🇦 thanks a lot . You're a great help 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯

[@ffffoundit3198]

where are you doing the diving in morocco ?

[@said0725]

​@@ffffoundit3198 in mohamadia

[@tonymind308]

Extremely dangerous sport. Many people blackout down there... Respect though for bravery!!!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Yes there is some risk, but for these dives, I have a safety diver next to me for the dangerous part, that is the top 15m or so. You are actually very unlikely to blackout deep down, you are most likely to do it just before you reach the surface. And if your safety diver takes you straight to the surface you will start breathing again usually straight away, so it is not as dangerous as you would think. To do this alone would be dangerous. And I have done that too but its not recommended.

[@michenesi]

Very nice video. And the location is great!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Yes location is amazing here haha!

[@ybk6858]

what a great progress. congrats!

[@DKofDAH]

Beautiful video. And congratulations and your achievement. Just two little things: mouthfill and frencel are not the same but two separate technics you need for deep diving. Secondly your math was a little of. At 30m your lung shrinks to 1/4 of its original volume.

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Ok thank you for the clarification!

[@JESSIE_4EVA]

Love you!!!!!

[@craigperry7376]

Wow!! Chris you must some kind of freak of nature being able to achieve your goal. I can only guess that your Life’s beginnings has help shape your natural bodies ability to help you achieve this fantastic accomplishment. Me??? well I struggle to free dive to bottom of the bath haha 😆

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Hahaha maybe the water is to cozy and warm in the bath ;) I am no freak of nature, many people can dive 20m, maybe even more if they train a little like me. The first coach I had, she could dive 70m!

[@luisarodrigues9230]

Do you wear ear plugs or isn't necessary?

[@Mydigitalnomadlife]

Tried free diving and its crazy amazing! Awesome post

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Thats great, few people have tried as most people just do scuba diving. Thank you for your comment! Where did you do your course?

[@Mydigitalnomadlife]

@@WildKiwiAdventurer yes that is true but for me.. free diving is more fun that scuba :) There's a group of free divers here in the Philippines.

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

@@Mydigitalnomadlife Ye sis that in Pangalao? I hear there was a freediving event happening there this month

[@BobBob-vx4ck]

Awesome well done

COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY TERRIFYING!!! absolutely NO WAY ID EVER GO THAT DEEP!!! 3 metres I reckon is my absolute LIMIT!!

[@Baran-hf9br]

Yayyy another kiwi

[@qneshqt6002]

Mean video bro at what depth do you no longer need to fin?

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

At about 15m for me if I have the right weight belt on

Thanks for watching

[@rileymckenna9480]

If you kick from the hip instead of knees, straighten your head why you go down, and change your kicking at depths you will drastically increase your efficiency.

[@bentorodrigues4397]

how's his daughter going so far?

[@vinniemcloughlin7848]

Well done dude!!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Thank you!

[@yasim9435]

How long does it take to dive down to 20 m and ascend back?

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Thats usually just over a minute i think...

[@ryanhorlyck]

Good Job !!

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

Thank you!

[@LucasEduardo-lz7ry]

Porque a maioria dos mergulhadores de mergulho livre só mergulha e água clara na água escura eles não desce tô fundo

@@WildKiwiAdventurer what is your current dive depth now? Am sure not less than 50m.

[@WildKiwiAdventurer]

@@abdullahmarei-karate3225 haha no I haven't gone any dealer yet. I've been living in Norway and back in New Zealand. When I do the level 3 course in a tropical country I may get below 40 I thiNk. That would be my goal

[@abdullahmarei-karate3225]

@@WildKiwiAdventurer yes I understand as I have the same case as of you. working for a goal is really inspiring.. I have a goal for 30m.. started this in far east as well then became interested to continue. Good luck 🙏🙏🙏...

Good vid mate 👍, if covid hadn't happened we would have been out there at exactly the same place in 5 weeks time🤬🤬😡....fingers crossed the guys are still open when this crap is done and we can get in the ocean again 😬.I think you chose one of the best companies to go with and would appreciate your opinion. Dive safe.

Yeah they were pretty good and I would recommend them. Gili Air has a couple of different companies. Good luck!
