GoPro Awards : Frozen Lake Free Dive

[@YouWhatMate_Official]

Deep dark water scares me harder than heights. At least with high places you know what's at the bottom. Underwater is like an alien world just beneath the surface.

[@Emma-co6tk]

AlternateAlternative I know! The anxiety about the empty water in the beginning was crazy

[@courkey8466]

That airplane gave me chills. I hate things underwater ughhhh

[@poetiixz9582]

And don't you want to find Aliens?

[@MikeHannan]

AlternateAlternative I understand that!

[@gargaroo6151]

AlternateAlternative same

[@victav]

Amazing that he can remain that calm and keep his heartbeat that low while holding his breath in water that cold. If that were me, between the shock of the cold and the fear of getting trapped under the ice I would IMMEDIATELY panic.

[@DALLMYD]

That was pretty awesome!

[@Andreas-oq1jd]

DALLMYD aaay dude!

[@CarlOs-se5uf]

DALLMYD wow famous person

[@oliviaagosto6709]

love it😀😁😂😘😃☺😊

[@JavierFernandez01]

DALLMYD best evidence of mer people I've ever seen. the beginning still looks fake but everything else is quite good. ;)

[@casperwecksten1024]

OMG DALLYMYD

[@wind7519]

Straight up thought the first 10 secs came from a game.

[@GabrielCarvv]

Subnautica!

[@farisrooney97]

this is some sort of next level of photography

[@SandeepSingh-iq1ws]

Faris Rafi: This is called GoPrography... haha :P

[@xavierxavier3610]

Sandeep Singh GoPornography?

[@joeya5438]

its a next level activity, the photography is very much this level. Its just a small camera on a stick.

[@thygrumpyjester]

Or idk... videography? That's already a known thing lol.

[@ValorousDefined]

no its a gopro and a frozen lake

[@min3946]

the person in the background of the beginning really freaked me out. I legit thought it was some sort of humanoid. lmao

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

It is though...

[@zzkateka]

это меня не пугает ..

[@domacinerast1664]

Literally same

[@simonboyce2235]

Some sort yes it is called a human

[@43SunSon]

omg. how long he can hold in that cold water?

[@owaindavies7115]

The colder water actually helps activate the mammalian dive reflex for freedivers so potentially anyway cold water can lead to a longer breath hold than warm. The cold slows the heart so using less oxygen in short.

[@43SunSon]

lol. how did you know those things? You are a diver?

[@NeiraRs]

you should've learn that in school

[@owaindavies7115]

Yeah both Scuba and free diver. Not even close to as good as this guy but he does have my freediving mask (well we have the same model) Cressi minima :)

[@43SunSon]

Well, it seems that I cannot remember everything from school. :(

[@SvenVee]

That beginning shot tho... And this whole video made my jaw drop, from the moment I saw the thumbnail and read the title. Absolutely incredible! 👌

[@torusseltherussel2475]

same here lol

[@nofeelslliza9953]

how can he hold his breath so long?????

[@hienrimuchachoo1167]

he stops breathing

[@DatSexyDave]

freedivers are from another world

[@sponge8294]

freediving is easy, it's oxygen that's the enemy

[@alanr5940]

That shot at the beginning trip me tf out! Amazing video!

[@DavidFosterVlog]

It sounds like that dude keeps sniffing. Underwater. 😂

[@fahriahh]

Yea it does

[@therealmccuddleface7651]

*sniffing in water*

[@installtherodent7571]

I'm pretty sure it's just the soundtrack

[@gabrielkwok1192]

I know it's the music but I can't get that out of my head

[@DivineMercySaves]

Yeah was I the only one who found that annoying?

[@Jindujun]

this is fascinating, yet scary in so many ways.

[@gummel82]

Ice diving is next to cave diving one of the most dangerous diving sports you can perform.. Hole might freeze shut, maybe you loose orientation, you might get cought on something in that airplane for example... especially with free diving, you don't have much spare time

[@alexdenero9866]

Jindujun tariffing

[@dexter131]

Anyone who has swam in cold water knows how quickly it takes your breath away. This is amazing to hold your breath long enough for a free drive like that, let alone in freezing cold water!

[@sncrlysoobin2033]

This gave anxiety in so many ways

[@markcorprline3072]

awkward_potato It's not deep.

[@sncrlysoobin2033]

+Mark Corprline deep or not, I'm still anxious 😂😂

[@buzzlightbeer4215]

Yes, and i am hopeful that no one tries to copy. The diver is wearing a special suit and is an expert at ice diving. He is trained not to get hurt and there is safety crew under the water to help him if something goes wrong

[@justinsem1213]

all of us ARMYS feel the same LOL

[@mathieuvillegas]

+Buzz Lightbeer , It's right that nobody should copy without appropriate training. We are all certified for deep freediving (Level 2 or more), and we stay very safe because we know all the risks and our limits (dives are half what we can do). Furthermore, we all have a dive buddy which is a certified freediver too, and who is checking us from the surface ready to dive if necessary (people scuba diving at the bottom in the video are people we don't know). If you want to do that, find a freediving school, get your certification, and have fun with other freedivers.

[@kOgeeDENSee]

Man I wish I can hold my breath that long

[@FuzzyPuppet]

Insanely amazing. Amazingly insane!

[@saraqostahterra4548]

Amazing insanely. Insanely Amaze. Insane Amazingly. Amazingly insanely...

[@Ash-re8ok]

You both kiss each other now

[@saraqostahterra4548]

Ash lol

[@ManOfRod97]

0:22 Look at that alien life form.

[@dovakiin4388]

L- Rod you mean that other diver dude

[@wvlf]

+Dova Kiin No, Alien

[@MrFoxy-nf2fk]

That doesn't like like a Diver.

[@MrFoxy-nf2fk]

If it is a diver,they have long legs

[@gojostartoru]

@@MrFoxy-nf2fk it's a diver..

[@SimplyCanadian]

I feel like I can't breathe watching this..

[@cranberryjuice.3635]

Bloody spectacular quality even at 480p

[@uhCas]

I caught myself trying to hold my breath lol

[@D.a.c59]

Same

[@wilsonsiregar4737]

you made me breathe manually dammit

[@ZMANH2O]

The first few seconds looked beautiful

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Stunning in every way, perfect music as well- it really brings out the visuals.

[@tysonnochill5630]

I could watch this all day

[@Cameron-dl5ix]

Anyone else try to hold their breath as long as he did

[@Claire-yc9fp]

Me loll

[@lazerrhino]

CThor Filmz it's a lot harder under water too with all the water pressure.

[@iamfumes7861]

CThor Filmz wait he didn't use an air tank

[@BS-ql9zm]

Flare Strella that's what free diving is

[@Slick85]

The mammalian reflex combined with the condensing of air at depth actually makes it easier to dive deeper. Most free diving accidents (blackout or LMC) happen within the last 3m or 10ft when ascending, or soon after surfacing.

[@ellaell3333]

1:13 those drawings on the airplane wing...

[@noanow125]

“Tommy”

[@dave5194]

That camera trick at the start is so trippy

[@tomwilliams944]

This gave me the chills

[@JustTex]

Opening shots are so cool

[@enclave5901]

"Detecting multiple leviathan class creatures"

[@joecairo1]

Dope track selection for this vid... could watch/listen to that for hours. Early night chillin' with your friends having drinks with that on in the background...

[@pulsarecho1952]

Surreal; and the music fits perfectly 👍🏾

[@Mikeyishere]

im getting this tron uprising vibe

[@Mikeyishere]

also this quality is insane, why isn't my gopro footage like this :(

[@Mikeyishere]

turns out he's got a red epic mounted onto the end of that pole, that ninja

[@cloroxbeach647]

This is the most beautiful video I have ever found!

[@MattNicassio]

Damn that is so cool! Looked so beautiful

[@pineapplegang2202]

That’s Me!!! I can’t believe I made it on the awards!

[@borisangelis8093]

I'm just glad it's a free dive since i'm kinda broke at the moment and thus could not pay for it.

[@GoProTrailRiderRC]

Anyone else notice barny the dinosaur at 39sec 😂

[@leevi2138]

GoProTrailRider i did😂😂

[@uhchasey871]

GoProTrailRider LOL XD

[@leevi2138]

GoProTrailRider but they said it was only in our imagination😱 the truth is that barney lives underwater on a plane😱😱

[@Oliver-qp9rx]

So Barny died at a plane crash

[@Awesomeanimal19]

OMG 😂😂

[@Akaizer100]

Massively Impressive!

[@doublechin8088]

like a whole another world.....

[@chappyllama4445]

woah I love this!! I love underwater

[@svenweer]

I don't trust your videos anymore after the terrifying turtle.

[@KeithKorneluk]

Hahaha exactly!

[@Linx_82]

Sven lol that turtle scared shit out of me

[@sncrlysoobin2033]

What turtle??

[@svenweer]

Check their previous video

[@svenweer]

@Link_ 82 I know right :p

[@bigmac3842]

It's Mindblowing watching the bubble go from his nose to the ice... crazy amazing

[@mohsalt6591]

Epic shot at the start of the vid 👌🏼🎇

[@AlexDegnovic]

That is beautiful!

[@ume3405]

The beginning was trippy O_o

[@DanielDaniel1]

That first shot was mind blowing.

[@Waltham1892]

Watched half the video... Ran out of the room to find a hot cup of tea.

[@nabiltorres3412]

It was so relaxing

[@ieatass4226]

How does he hold his breath that long?!

[@XodiasRX]

vinboi He probably swims a lot. I can hold my breath longer than he did in the video though.

[@andrew3606]

But can you hold your breath for that long while swimming, thats the question.

[@XodiasRX]

Euphoric Dankey Kang Yeah, I did it before.

[@lwhippledc]

vinboi That's not that long tbh.... he was probably under water for 45 seconds at a time or longer. I know a Lady that is a professional diver and she can hold her breath for 4 mins no Oxygen and can go down 90 feet under water

[@monkey220ms]

Smigglebah2Gaming no, you defenitely couldn't, no offense. The water is freezing cold and he's using a ton of oxygen just moving, it's pretty insane that he can hold it so long and defenitely takes lots of training.

[@KonJamo]

One of my all time top ten #GoPro videos...the illusion and the lighting are perfect

[@SKRicochet]

This is so terrifying haha Held my breath the whole video

[@JACKLAWESvisualstorytelling]

This is amazing , looks outta this world

[@SuperBlackhawkdriver]

Why am I holding my breath while watching this?

[@sharonryan6471]

SuperBlackhawkdriver same😂

[@tomkalt8670]

No place for panic, mistakes or fear. Total control of yourself. A place so peaceful endless and desolate.

[@thesnakeman8006]

0:40 the things you find underwater. gotta admit that's surreal as it gets. just..........absolute wow 😱

[@toptravelfacts9440]

This is amazing!

[@UkeCriativo]

Woow! Awesooooome!!

[@LOZIOKLAUS]

Congratulations bro! Really nice footage!!

[@SamLiewXiaoSam]

Magician should hire him to do the Houdini's water escape trick since he can hold his breath for so long.

[@taylorbedo]

Sam Liew people can hold their breath much longer

[@SamLiewXiaoSam]

Like who?

[@Loooooongneck]

+Sam Liew *hint* any Olympic swimmer ever

[@ThriftworksVideo]

S/O to GoPro and Matthew Villegas for using my music for this awesome video!

[@crystallxix1493]

The guy in the background at 0:23 looks like the Shy Guy SCP. Also if i saw this as the thumbnail for a "top 10 real sightings of monsters filmed on camera" i would not be surprised

[@MonsterGorillaFishing]

GoPro RULE!

[@EvanSaltare]

welcome to my nightmare, it's just you and me at the bottom of a frozen lake.

[@shano1587]

Evan Saltare i know right?!

[@mr.birdie2244]

Evan Saltare that’s my nightmare too

[@remiwalsarie]

Amazing shots! awesome adventure aswell. Would love to try that!

[@creekandseminole]

This makes me want to go play Abzû now...

[@MrThemateur]

sir you are amazing

[@NiNjAtAcOgUy601361]

How is that game? I've been wanting to try it out, but that subnautica tho

[@MrThemateur]

Jose Mena there is no words

[@viv3171]

And this is what my definition of peace is.

[@KevinYap91]

Damn how long can you breathe, i know the video edited out the part where he takes oxygen and all but, just wondering damn.

[@jingiz]

The video is still too short.

[@valkarez1137]

Probably for 8-9 decades.

[@Pops6185]

Until he dies.

[@kirillvishnevsky6327]

The world record with pure oxygen and no movement is somewhere around 21 minutes. Crazy, right?

[@carlosboozer6017]

Most people breathe all their lives.

[@Maxiloup]

I love this award, it is so cool to watch

[@lazerrhino]

How does he free dive that especially without a dry suit or anything covering his face. I bet that water is freezing!

[@mathieuvillegas]

ThePastyPrince , you can't use dry suit when freediving for many reasons. But a good 5mm freediving suit do the job. The water is around 3°C. it's cold for the face, but you can deal with it. You can stay up to 1h30 in the water without feeling too cold.

[@lazerrhino]

Mathieu Villegas thanks, I didn't know couldn't free dive with a dry suit. Haha I've dove in some pretty cold lakes, but 50-60 F already felt damn cold. I can't imagine that

[@angrytoast660]

Profile picture thief!

[@lazerrhino]

Angry Toast I'm sorry.

[@Ren-ck3cl]

ThePastyPrince the cold water slows the breathing

[@mo215300]

First of all frozen lakes could be scary if you fall into it with ice above and on top this guy is free diving hats off to him for being so courageous

[@sole__doubt]

Now thats how you use a selfie stick...

[@sharmaynekoehler1488]

This is just...amazing!

[@bluecoffee3306]

This makes me feel weirdly claustrophobic. Imagine if the diving hole freezes over and you have no way out, or you're alone and you forget which direction you came from, swimming along the underside of the ice desperately praying for a way out as your oxygen tank runs out. This is what nightmares are made of.

[@MrGhoatsta]

To make things worse, this is free diving, theres no air tank there.

[@nick.phenomenal]

I thought the first 12 seconds were CGI, Truly amazing.

[@danielcocirla5199]

Bro same, I thought it was some render, literally paused and rewatched the first few seconds to figure how that would be filmed on a GoPro but couldn't, amazing stuff.

[@j4s0n67]

0:18 that person freaked the hell out of me lmaoo, looked like an dead body lol

[@iSmokeALoT19]

I held my breath the whole time and some more.

[@nonexistantman5797]

0:17 I LEGIT THOUGHT THAT WAS A MERMAID!

[@mikeoglen6848]

It could be one of the Ice People.

[@jiwon5315]

I can’t wait to learn freediving!!! So determined to get it done

[@AndrewHwu]

If only I can afford a GoPro

[@NickSquaredTV]

Held my breath the entire time

[@vernonfurry8501]

I swear the blue guy in the background at 0:19 scared the shit out of me because I thought it was a monster ):

[@lizakoshy4123]

This is so awesome 😍💙

[@medicaldoll5506]

Omg this is so scary and making my heart race just watching. How do you hold your breath for that long? What if you get stuck? Oh its just so scary lol.

[@earthtohenry]

Geneva Doll same 😂

[@mayadelaneys]

Humans can hold their breath up to five minutes if trained properly. Most people can hold theirs for 40 seconds or so. Even longer under cold water. Look up the mammalian dive reflex.

[@bucky13]

If you get stuck you die.

[@maddestruction1]

I could hold my breath for 3 mins after practicing for a week, now I can only hold it for 1-2 mins

[@stevenmontero8778]

maddestruction1 different while diving, your body uses more oxygen, and your heart uses less.

[@fburgos22]

VERY NICE....adding that to my bucket list.

[@MochilerosOrg]

Outstanding experience! Anyone undestand the origins of the light at the bottom? Is that natural?

[@peterswager4816]

The first part is inverted, he is upside down swimming along the surface and the "light" you see is the ice. Watch when he gets air and you will notice the video flips back to normal.

[@MochilerosOrg]

@@peterswager4816 that expain it all. The result is splendid. Thank you!

[@zanecosgrove4820]

Thanks mate, wondered why the air bubbles went in that direction, makes sense he was upside down now

[@abrakadabra9033]

Upside down

[@Worf814]

Its fake its a green sceeen

[@Grindman3000]

This is one of My Favorite video's!!

[@usparks]

I still don't understand it? Where was he swimming before he made dive through the opening and into the lake?

[@thegrassstains1]

Daniel Sparks He was swimming upside down on the frozen surface of the Lake

[@usparks]

Ooooooo!!!!!! OMG!!!!! Mind = Blown. I kinda thought so, but I wasn't sure cuz I was wondering why the bubbles were falling down. It makes sense now.

[@buildingfilming]

Daniel Sparks yeah I was kinda confused too but it looked cool anyway

[@ShreyaReddyArt]

aw so innocent

[@LucasBoysOutdoors]

Oh my goodness. Can't wait to incorporate something like this in my vlogs.

[@valkarez1137]

The sniffling in the music makes me want to put a hole in my wall.

[@stars9456]

Valkarez lol

[@xyzhero8480]

Wow that first 30 sec gave me the chills looked freaky yet cool like it was some other far distance planet.

[@Zhytec]

I would be scared that i somehow cant breath anymore and then being stuck on ice.

[@jasonalzate3060]

This is amazing! Love this camera!

[@adb.1178]

what is he breathing with?

[@Ridetheflow]

Alex Spray lol

[@mathieuvillegas]

Breathing is overrated.

[@washyourhands]

breathing is for losers. he's winning

[@tetra8909]

its called free diving as in free of assistance

[@primary2849]

Lucios Fox his mouth

[@FuelEvanDown]

Phil sent me and damn I'm glad he did. This is incredible

[@Man-jf6lz]

So it doesn't cost any money?

[@alanaoregan4372]

Sooooo cool wish I was able to hold my breath that long haha

[@dexterjsullen]

I wonder is he cold

[@RaymanW]

for some reason it was really satisfying 🐼
