I believe to dive for long periods of time, one needs to be in a nearly trance-like state to minimise oxygen usage. Hence why she was just lying there on the surface for a while, to bring her vitals and mind to a state of minimal activity.

It is very difficult to equalise your hears at these depth (like when you are on a plane and the hears hurt until air gets in). Pressure itself is not painful, but your lungs are compressed at the size of a grapefruit. To squeeze some air out to blow your hears is an athletic feat in itself.

Eventually the weight of the water has compressed the air so much it's no longer providing enough boyuancy. At that point in time, you will start sinking and stay sinking.

Yup, and that means she doesnt take full breath at the last moment, otherwise she will float. Probably calculated that the oxygen conserved not swimming down is worth the reduced air. Must be only slightly negative buoyant, so it helps on the going upward

[@thijsthebest1012]

Actually I think she took a full breath. At the beginning she is swimming downwards. But when you swim down the air in your lungs compress. At a certain depth, the downward force because of gravity is higher than the upward force of air in her lungs, and thus she will then sink at that height and lower. At least that's my theory

[@jadefalcon001]

Attempting to take a breath at depth when doing freediving like this could be catastrophic, possibly even fatal. Her lungs are compressed due to having taken air at the surface. Every 33-ish feet (10m) of depth adds one atmosphere worth of pressure. Down at the bottom of that line if she were to attempt to take a breath off a scuba regulator she'd be opening her lungs to air at over *9 times* the pressure it was at the surface. All at once. It'd be like shrinking a balloon (her lungs) in a box (her chest cavity), and then slamming it back to full size with a blast of +9 bar compressed air. I don't know if it'd be fatal, but I imagine it'd be very, very dangerous. That's one of the so very many things that's so damn scary about this sport - even if someone is *right there* wearing a tank full of air, and you're drowning, they can't save you.

[@gradyking4739]

I would think the body would contain every last bit of oxygen in your brain when you hold your breath specifically to prevent that

[@jackawwwf2236]

The training adapts your body to utilize the oxygen as efficiently as possible, and brain damage comes 4+ minutes after all oxygen has been depleted. So really the incredible efficiency these athletes have for 2ish minutes should do little damage to the brain, but they would have to work to dissipate all the lactic acid built up in their muscles from the dive. Their whole bodies would be burning by the end.

[@eliiisdn]

for a normal person while drowning (not dead yet), their brain will be so severly damaged after 4 minutes of not breathing under water (and taking in water) that it would be unlikely for them to survive. even if their brain is still alive, it would not function.. the person would be on life support forever. although this isn't always the case as you can watch on bondi rescue ;) - from your local professional lifeguard

I'm waiting for a dub step to come in yall get nsync on the way up and...that's such a beautiful swim. Congrats.

[@bluntandy]

Beautiful dive. As a swimmer I can hold my breath but even watching these people train in the pool freaks me out. So impressive

[@sophiachang05]

I was in the deep end of a public pool and couldn’t even go all the way down because I ran out of air. They are so courageous

[@_Tree_of_Life_]

Omg, getting back to the surface was excruciating. I thought she'd never get there!

[@Александр-м4ъ7в]

Аплодирую Стоя, высокий уровень, Хорошая выносливость 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Th3BlackRanger]

Everybody talking about her but more impressive was the cameraman GREAT JOB MY BOY!!!

[@hawkinatorgamer9725]

Life - How much cardio do you want? Nataliia Zharkova - Yes.

[@hobbybugs1286]

I could get down there panic would set in when the rope runs out

[@Heavyanker]

No, at 15-18 meters you would feel how your lungs squeeze and probably won't find any air to equalize. Nobody in the comment's actually understands what an incredible thing this woman did and how much training it took to be able to do that.

[@nikitakucherov5028]

My head feels like its gonna explode just 8 feet underwater

[@proxyzov]

because u dont use the technique calles equalizing. hold ur nose for 3 seconds every 3 meters

[@proxyzov]

@Jett Watson well not efficient but whatever floats ur boat

[@silversurfer512]

93m under the water. Amazingly it's brighter than I thought. Congratulations.

[@lookwhatudid5095]

This video was so long I had to skip some of it, can't imagine holding my breath and swimming that long what a professional 😲👏

[@tomasmax2293]

It was not she who broke the record of 93 meters, but the cameraman who recorded it from 1 meter below her when she reached 93.

[@EricClausell]

I think the footage is from a drone: Diveye

[@testudo2185]

They are not free diving

[@leeward6762]

Scuba

[@giannidisumma2948]

@@leeward6762 It's a drone, a scuba diver would need to make stops while going back up to avoid decompression sickness.

[@leeward6762]

@@giannidisumma2948 that makes sense :)

It’s like she’s diving deep into a blue abyss

There's a really great part when diving ,,A out of body experience sleeping relaxing shutting your self down,💢

Молодец девчонка, сверхчеловеческие возможности показывает!!!

[@BretBowlby]

Impressive. Found myself holding my breath while watching this!!!

[@cristanocosta5726]

Haja fôlego! Concentração máxima, incrível. O auto controle psicológico conta muito nesta hora! Ela ficou 3 minutos e 14 segundos; conseguiu descer 93 metros, é pra poucos!

[@josehenrique-bf6fb]

Sim, com certeza

[@VideosInsanos2x]

caramba.. PARADO já seria muito dificil, imagina indo cada vez mais fundo e fazendo vários movimentos? realmente incrível.

[@DashDrones]

When she was at 50m to go, I was crapping myself 😂 AMAZING

[@mrkoayngee]

И обнимашки в конце устроили - милота :-)

[@vladimirsimonov9667]

Ну да, страхующий на 30- ти метрах только нарисовался , а обниматься это да))

[@ИнКрид]

А если резко вдохнуть захочется на дне? Или вдруг слюной поперхнется и закашляется мало ли ? Ну будет глотать а такка к верх ногами то слюна не в то горло пойдет и поперхнеться То она воду вдохнет и умрёт? Почему на всякий случай с ней кто-то с балоном рядом не плывёт? Когда в ванной ныряю и мне охота вдохнуть то я голову сразу вытаскиваю наверх, а она куда вытащит?

[@ИнКрид]

И куда она воздух дела из лёгких? Она вдохнула и нырнула , Почему пузыри не выходили подв одой ни разу ? И потом когда вынырнула она наоборот ещё вдох сделала, куда делся весь воздух с лёгких? По идее она должна была тогда вынырнув выдох сделать раз под водой не выходили пузырт и только потом вдох же

[@vladimirsimonov9667]

@@ИнКрид я не большой спец, но на такую глубину , страхующий с баллоном не ныряет по двум причинам, ему нужно проходить декомпрессию погружаясь как вниз так и вверх , человек с баллоном на эту глубину и обратно будет идти минут 20-30,в принципе есть таблицы, можно посмотреть. Но, не это главное, человек погружающийся на вдохе не нуждается в декомпрессии и поэтому он не может вдохнуть из баллона газовую смесь, которой заполнен баллон, а на таких глубинах водолазы используют смесь. Следующее, по правилам фридайвинга выдох в воде запрещён, это ведёт к потере сознания, потому не видно пузырей)) Третье, когда выходишь на поверхность не делают больших выдохов,поэтому кажется, что она снова вдыхает, есть метода выхода, почитайте может увлечётесь.

[@vdussaut9182]

I will always think of the movie The Big Blue anytime I see footage of people free diving. One of the coolest movies of the 80s and one of my favorites of all time.

[@emanuel4436]

wow what an achievement.. congrats Nataliia!

[@FrancisR420]

Damn she's just going straight down

[@ilikemakar8460]

Why waste energy going anywhere but directly down. The goal is to go directly down to the deepest depths

[@rei_cirith]

@@ilikemakar8460 Right, but even when I try to swim straight, I don't always because of imbalances in muscles etc.

[@_Encie]

@@rei_cirith well, she was obviously training for this for a long time. Also, she's led by a rope that helps her not to drift away

[@rei_cirith]

@@_Encie Just like her ability to hold her breath for a long period of time, it's obvious that she's trained a long time to be this good at what she does, but it doesn't make it any less amazing.

[@_Encie]

@@rei_cirith i didn't mean to talk down her achievement. I was just mentionaing the rope because you said you don't always swim straight :P

[@sirmathias8852]

And then I realized I would not be able to hold my breath this long ...

[@NewplayerXL]

Unnecessary fact: That means if she got decapitated she would be awake for much longer, given that her brain is trained to work on so little oxigen

[@hoptothetop4444]

Why was my first thought ‘I’d love to see that’

[@ChessPampa]

If you get decapitated you pass out for lack of blood pressure almost instantly

[@_x__q]

I have no idea what’s going on or why KZbin suggested this, but I enjoyed her ever so smooth kicking motion.

[@abidRehmani313]

i am also a PADI diver But the time of this ladies in your video is very good i like it very much their stamina is very good

[@chaarans5599]

meanwhile me: trying to equalise ears for 1 feet depth for 30 minutes

[@jesusperez-bz6pq]

This is amazing i deep 4 meters and my head feel like a explosion

[@jusjase_3229]

I like how after propelling herself for a bit she just stops like "Yeah imma start sinking now"

[@TijmenvdP]

At a certain point you stop floating and start sinking so she was just getting to that point first I guess

[@animalmother556x45]

If your muscles aren’t moving, you don’t use up as much oxygen. For these sorts of dives, it’s better to just relax and sink…save that oxygen in your blood.

[@ЮрійЯрмоленко-ь9з]
