Im jealous of your experience. I was really pushed/forced to go deeper too fast by my trainer. On day 3 i was on 18. i took a break for 2 days, continued and went to 30m on day 7 doing the advanced but it was way too quick and i panicked a lot throughout my training which made me stop for 1 year. Now im back at it but super chill & fell in love again!

[@seabass2502]

The more you let go and relax the easier and more enjoyable it will become. Never rush in freediving, listen to your body and stay safe.

[@sitaro8]

@@seabass2502 That's what an instructor is for. I thought it is normal to push so hard and basically went for a new PB each time I breached an old one.

[@shyryTsr2k]

I'm just starting to get into snorkeling with my end goal being scuba diving however I think free dicing is really a unique experience and perhaps I'll try it out someday. My breath hold really isn't long, under a minute actually so I really need training before even thinking about freediving, however I love the water and the ocean so so much that I want to spend as much time underwater as I can. Sadly I chose a horrible time to start smh, I'm from Southern California and with the huge storm that came through and the weather still being bad I should've maybe chosen a better time to get into it but at least I'm better prepared.

[@hugitkissitloveit8640]

Thanks for sharing

[@LZYDOG]

​Good luck! Just got my first scuba course done, so awesome. but its expensive so im going back to learn to freedive better. Just bought a weight belt this week but went out, still sick, in the winter cold water of New Zealand with my sleevless summer wetsuit and just got ice cold and couldn't equalize cause of my sinuses haha. But best believe I'll be back out there saw a bunch of snapper and a ray. ​@@shyryTsr2k

[@skier9095]

That’s very impressive man loved the video! As someone who has spear fished many times I feel that free diving is primarily mental. You must be very strong to be able to push outside of your comfort zone this way! Cheers man

[@LaurieShaw]

🙌❤️

[@selvinestrada7254]

I whis I can di this

[@Geweldenaar]

What the hell man, 25 meters!!! I remember going on vacation with my sister like 2 years ago and her freediving to like 10 or so meters. I felt so powerless watching that from the surface. That already seemed incredibly deep. It must be extremely calm down there and if you're confident you're in control it must feel like you are superhuman. 25 meter is nuts man haha

[@yonasngaturi8805]

I’ve had some random thoughts on trying freediving after getting scuba certified and KZbin served up your content - real amazing stuff (saw your surfing your first barrel video and it made me regret not trying surfing when I was in uni in Oz), looking forward to your next adventure 🎉 happy for your freediving journey 👏🏼

[@LaurieShaw]

Thanks legend!

[@acidicpetals1065]

Coming from part 1! This is amazing, i love this! The progress is *chef's kiss*

[@atacanhrcn25]

Man this video, content, editing, the vibe it gives was extremely quality. I thought you would have at least 700k subscribers and i thought how i didn't recognize you before. Then when I saw you don't have that much followers as I thought I said whaAaatt? You deserve more, keep it up, peace.

[@acid_malark1777]

I was just waiting for you to post this

[@LaurieShaw]

Woohoo! Thanks bro

[@tigesadventures3880]

should put the parts in the title thought it was the same one i've watched

[@LaurieShaw]

Thanks! Just updated

[@lolajoe985]

Incredible video!! Answered so many questions i had about this amazing sport

[@fl_krake2874]

You should do 30 days boxing

[@LaurieShaw]

👌🙌

[@freyafoxmusic]

Agree

[@seanbradley3759]

Mate..I've just watched your video..gave me anxiety watching it never-ending doing it! Well done mate!

[@nikmrn]

I am actually suprised that I managed to hold my breath for as long as you did on the "dive with me" chapter haha

[@ilectus]

So insanely underrated, good work mate

[@MolonyProductions]

Part of my scuba training had a full exhale, and sit at the bottom of the pool until you need to come up. It's an excellent way to realise that you can swim without the extra oxygen when needed.

[@MatsBijst]

Love the quality!! I really was zone out in this video 😂

[@andreamarangia1085]

the meters will come.. I did one month training this june and for the first two weeks my limit (due to equalisation issues) was at 27-28m.. so frustrating. Trained my equalisation skills and kept going. Once you overcome a block, meter will come. I finished the month with a 50 meter dive :) Best of luck!

[@catharinalangle4890]

What the hell? I'm out at 3 metres

[@liinu-box]

Great video. Would love to see more videos like the middle part where you encourage people to hold their breath and go on a dive. Maybe with different lengths?

[@paulinesz15]

feeling so good...congrats...what an experience🥰

[@johnbugnoii]

Great video!! Makes me super interested in free driving. Very instructional. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring and God bless you all!!

[@adrienhelferich7069]

Incredible job man I knew from the beginning you were going to do good but 25 meters is impressive for 1 month good video too great quality your up and coming man keep up the great work and inspiring others.

[@user-tr1qk6dm8r]

Part 1 was great!!

[@LaurieShaw]

Thank you!

[@Bahamascott68]

Great journey! Thank you for sharing.

[@serinadelmar6012]

❤ loving catching up on these vids, so beautiful.

[@DjMasterBlader]

Nice one mate!

[@eric55406]

Well done!

[@PeculiarK8Atelier]

I am amazed I could actually hold that cave diving breath 😂 but ya know sitting and watching you, not diving. You had a great experience with that instructor.

[@LaurieShaw]

Amazing!

[@ricotrejo4125]

There’s also a factor that people tend to hold it longer underwater in general

[@LukeE.Riddle]

@@ricotrejo4125 Mammalian dive reflex means your heart rate / metabolism slows down in cold water - and like all things it's trainable

[@janterblanche3196]

Great video, I feel like you were missing out on so many important parts of freediving tho. Maybe you just didn’t show it in the video but techniques like how to breath when resurfacing or how to move efficiently with little oxygen usage were completely left out as well as the whole visualization process of freediving were left out which is kind of misleading because I think they are important to freediving beginners or people who are interested in learning. However, thank you very much for this great video and making people more aware of how great freediving is!

[@LaurieShaw]

Thanks bro yeah good points I should’ve added! Good to know for next time 🙏

[@freyafoxmusic]

Loved this

[@tamfreemanfreemind8460]

What a great video, I am a freediver and your one reminds of me 1 year ago. My best personal record is 15m still as Im not practicing alot. Freediving is an amazing sport

[@letsfreedive]

congratulations on your 25 meter dive!!

[@timothyparsons8233]

Great vid nice times

[@DeepApnea]

Cool experience, could you please give some tips about the type mask and suit used ?

[@Maxi-333]

This is Awesome!

[@LaurieShaw]

🙌❤️

[@esapov]

love this

[@justpeary]

Great job! I do freedive for one year still say Hi to the fishs at 5 miter 😂👍

[@cdocranktours2514]

AWESOME!.. 25 meters, 30 days... ill be very happy with 15.. thanks for sharing.. watching from the Philippines.

[@LaurieShaw]

🙌❤️

[@davidkoay4356]

I was still considering to sign up for a freediving lesson, but after seeing you making 25m dive, I am down for it.

[@pozzoli766]

Most underrated youtuber

[@LaurieShaw]

🙌❤

[@Interlude956]

Wow! I want to say that again you did gr8 work ❤😊

[@LaurieShaw]

Thanks bro!!

[@cathymckenzie500]

Really enjoyed watching your freediving videos. I started a couple of weeks ago and am hooked! Crazy how much progress can be made in such a short amount of time. Thanks for sharing!

[@atag512]

Dude...80 ft...wow... i set out for this , made 60 and called it a day....the mental is defintely the key battle.. congrats and great great video

[@Rj_Mcgraw]

I am a scuba diver and when i teach students i hate some of the drills as you have to kinda hold your breathe. (blowing small bubbles.) i suck at that so i used this to train holding.

[@joek292]

Damn I’m like 2 years in spearfishing and diving and 17m is still my PB, haven’t been back testing depth on line diving since 2 years ago though!

[@twizzler3b]

Good job Laurie. I see you were fogging up. Rub a small dab of toothpaste around the inside of your mask, then rinse it out a bit until you don't see any chunks/streaks of toothpaste. You'll be fog free for hours. Others like baby shampoo, but in my experience toothpaste is better. Makes it way more fun when you stay clear for hours on end.

[@TCW_Consulting]

Bro aa soon as you said shark attack, I said no 😂 good work!

[@FakeKingBob]

This is gonna go viral in a year or two

[@jaystripe333]

Maybe I missed it, but why did you dive with this mask? Why did you keep the snorkel attached. And why did you change tecnique from free immersion to constant weight during the dive?

[@user-qk2wr8op9c]

I am having problems about equalisation when I down more than 10 meters. I need to practice equalisation

[@HusseinMarey]

Great challenge

[@LaurieShaw]

🙌❤️

[@RobParkinVideo]

Great progress but I'm surprised they weren't teaching you a breathing technique for when you surface, I thought it was standard practice among freedivers.

[@LaurieShaw]

They did! I learnt how to do recovery breaths from the first training session. I should have included more of this in the video I think

[@joshmcnulty5950]

@@LaurieShawor people can just go watch the first episode. You clearly showed the breathe up exercises post dive there

[@Pscribbled]

Nice! 25m is really good! When I first started I noticed that I had to manage my airways more and intentionally relax my diaphragm to get to 25m or else I wouldn’t have enough air to equalize. Did you have that or was it a fairly easy shot down to 25m

[@DariusOutdoors]

Google for Frenzel equalization. You don't need your lung for that and it works as well upside down and right side up.

[@Wes179]

That was a neat interactive test to have the audience try to hold their breath while you do the cave dive. I made it 😎😂

[@LuizValenz]

Ok you have to bring me with you 😅

[@aleksalazic7962]

One question. Why don't you use the duck dive, you would gain a few extra metres?

[@RimjobHimself]

He needs to learn how to equalize first at least. And maybe defog the mask. Then..

[@stuffi929]

What underwater camera did you use?

[@matload444]

What watch did you have

[@sloth_vids]

its the shorter version of scuba diving ima be a certified scuba diver tomorrow :}

[@saidmkd8062]

On the last dive you were going to turn Off 😂 But For a 30 days you did great 🥇🦈

[@LaurieShaw]

😂🙌

[@user-kj4rx2ud9h]

❤

[@tamarasamuels5538]

When will this be out??

[@LaurieShaw]

Sunday morning!

[@DariusOutdoors]

Tip for beginners: Don't free dive with fins and other gear. They just make you go deeper than you actually can. 15 meters is easily done in just boxers and under normal circumstances you won't need more than that. 15+ is for the adrenaline junkies.

[@Benk194]

Try scuba diving

[@user-lv9qg2lg2i]

did you not get nose bleed?

[@lordhelmet7309]

How do you stop your ears from building up with pressure

[@Notahuman25]

Frenzel equalisation

[@gorjanacaleta-car6071]

I did it

[@therukugorillazaotearoa_]

Need these schools in new zealand

[@bloxu1583]

You should do 30 days of soccer/football

[@THErangerTHE]

I would feel so vulnerable to sharks in that water. I know they usually don’t harm people but still..

[@robinhioVR]

I believe your part 1 video ended with a safety video to not hold your breath when you are by yourself …. Doesn’t really line up with your “hold your breath” to dive with you 😉

[@rasakaraliute8771]

they mean not to hold under the water. you can hold as long as you want on the surface, because you almost safe. even if you have a blackout, you will start breathe oxygen and most likely come back by your self. But not to breathe on the surface till the blackout is very unlikely, if nobody is forcing you not to breath and you just doing it willingly.

[@jeffreyfitzgerald4673]

🙏 "Promosm"

[@Notahuman25]

You should really try spearfishing!

[@tzickero]

Yo

[@rowan1043]

Too much muscle mass, much better to be very lean I would think.

[@batsrevengee]

you suould go spear fishing

[@Notahuman25]

100%

[@balamut5]

30 days to get to 20 metres? Kinda very slow

[@LaurieShaw]

So slow
