Freediving Barracuda Lake | Coron, Philippines | GoPro

Freediving Barracuda Lake, Coron, Philippines. Barracuda Lake has a sharp thermocline at around 15m where the water becomes incredibly hot. Combined with the natural limestone cliffs surrounding the lake, it is a remarkable place to freedive.
Filmed with GoPro Hero 5 and GoPro Hero 4 Silver.

I absolutely loved scuba diving Barracuda Lake when I was in Coron last winter. It was truly the dive of a lifetime.

[@Kiko333.]

I was having breathing problems while watching

[@OmniReef]

freediving is easy to learn :)

[@wingedcoco]

It is so realistic that it makes your brain think you are underwater.

[@Uncommon_Sense01]

Great footage but why does music have to be added to so many of these videos? I think the natural sounds of underwater exploring are much better.

[@OmniReef]

The GoPro audio isn't great for underwater videos and sometimes you get lots of squeaking from bubbles rushing out of the pole mount too. With any music, some people like it and some people dislike it, I try to pick music which has a tropical vibe to it which I think suits the video.

[@OmniReef]

I agree with your point about the lyrics, however unfortunately I couldn't find an instrumental only version.

[@Uncommon_Sense01]

@@OmniReef Don't listen to that guy, he's lost the plot by the sounds of it haha! Yea that's fair enough, maybe some day when you have more viewers you could upgrade to a system with better underwater sound. In the mean time your footage is really great and i didn't post that previous msg to discourage you. Good luck and all the best! 😊👍

As a scuba diver and competitive swimmer for 13+ years, I’m scared of free diving xD

[@inspiringrex1198]

Scared of freediving but not scuba diving? What? 😂😂 thats a weird one for sure

[@johnpaulpineda2476]

@@inspiringrex1198 It is completely different. Scuba diving has more efficient and safe tools and equipments unlike freediving wherein you'll just rely on your lung capacity and how you equalize in depth of water..

[@jeremybree1986]

@@inspiringrex1198 not weird at all. I have starting practicing free diving and have been a scuba diver for years, it's completely different.

[@amethysthematite8533]

It's different discipline. Nothing weird.

[@ImSaixe]

as someone with garbage lungs due to smoking. To me, if there's no diving then its not swimming.

[@BURDYMAN777]

It's beautiful and clear and amazing, yes. I think the most surreal part for me is how this is a real lake! Like, I've never seen the bottom bottom of any large lake. Its not what I expected lol

[@OmniReef]

Thank you and sorry for the late reply :)

[@MagdalinaKT]

To bad they added music. I wish I could just hear the water and sounds they hear. I like to imagine in in there with them. I say imagine bc I have a phobia of actually doing this and letting fish and other stuff touch me 😨😱😂😂 This way I can live through others lmao. Nice video still 👍

[@ye6250]

thalassophobia?

[@MagdalinaKT]

@@ye6250 I'm not afraid of the sea or bodies of water themselves, I am afraid of the creatures and plant life touching me. I can handle seeing them in aquariums, at a distance, on the phone/TV/movie. But not near me or touching me. Like I love watching the beach,lakes,rivers, or streams as they are beautiful and calming but once I see or think about what's in them, I'm done 😂 lol

[@theJeraldo7]

This is so amazing. I just went there but I couldn’t go deeper since I can only swim with a life vest. Also, how were you able to go to that place without anyone around? That place was packed even on January.

[@BushCampingTools]

Hi great vid. What kind of temps are we talking about at the 15m level? Hot enough to def hold ones breath longer?

[@OmniReef]

I'm not sure of the exact temperature, I would guess somewhere around 35 to 40 degrees C. It is a bit uncomfortable when you get down there as it is quite hot

[@BushCampingTools]

@@OmniReef Wow, yeah that is very hot for sure but good for holding the breath longer. Great videos BTW!

[@unizavlog]

[@pammy5260]

Right serious question. What makes people want to dive ? You see the surface of the water and cant see what lies underneath or you cant see hazards or currents or anything, its dark its deep cold dirty water. What makes you think, lets go under ? Damn looks freaky

[@OmniReef]

To explore the underwater world. Not all water is cold dark and dirty.

yes the visibility is generally good in the lake

well, there look like not good for fish living, lake water may be have corrosive chemicals, and caused a sharp thermocline surrounding the lake.

[@OmniReef]

There are a few fish but not many, we saw one of the few Barracuda in the Lake which you can see at the end of the video
