[@Jhaller2012]

I tried holding my breath while he was under and I drowned like 4 times. This dude is awesome.

[@lyndiwilson2334]

Lol

[@OrcinusLaryngologist]

Gotta take into account the oxygen your body uses up whilst exerting all that energy. You say four? Say 24. 😳😢

[@mayainverse9429]

only 4. that is pretty good. keep in mind they are not just holding their breath for a very long time but they are going really deep or far away from the ice hole. like what happens if something surprises you and your heart rate goes up and u need to breathe its a few minutes left till they get air. like wtf.

[@MonaLisa-xc5dm]

I think the record for apnoea divers is 24 minutes.

[@3am_BBLsTTV]

This comment wins the day for me lol

[@yaroslavatimoshenko252]

I'm SO happy you featured Egor! He practiced with my father's freediving school for a bit - he's a really great guy and a very competent diver. The divers he was diving with under the ice are also excellent divers and even better people. They only dive with those people that they trust to be safe. It's surreal watching friends be featured on your channel! And please don't listen to the negativity in your comments - your forté might be scuba diving, but by posting about freediving and reacting to those videos, you are also learning and widening your own scope of understanding. So keep on doing that!

[@egornesterenko4782]

Heyyy Yaroslava!! Thanks for the kind words.. although I am not sure I would 100% agree with the "the divers he was diving under ice are even better people" hahah :D

Me too! I was cracking up.

[@spamonly]

They have been told not to do any more freediving videos because they are saying BS like: freedivers hyperventilate before a dive. This nonsense is dangerous, and can get people killed. Nevertheless they did not find it necessary to take the video down.

[@Cavercope]

@@Cavercope I would agree with you if they had made atleast an insert IN THE VIDEO saying "this is incorrect, dont do hyperventilation its dangerous". But all they did is add a - "please read the video description" and added a comment there. Thats simply not engough since no one really reads video descriptions.

[@floridaspringfreedivingadv9227]

Hello im a masterfreediver I've been freediving in most of Florida's deeper springs and sinks my deepest freedive is 46 meters done at warm mineral spring. The only thing's egor has done wrong that I can see is you never dive alone yes scuba divers was there but for free divers you actually need a dive safety close to you when doing recovery breaths just in case shallow water black out happens or a black out at depth scuba divers usually can't go straight up to surface and yes after recovered you can use snorkel.i love your channel here on youtube, its always great to know much as possible about the people you dive around. im always asking questions when I meet scuba divers at dive sites for this reason. im all about safety and looking forward to more of your videos.

[@androopr]

You are right about needing a freediving safety- Egor is a long time dive buddy of mine. We always play the camera angles and selectively edit out the safety divers floating around. (for example I was there for all of the ice clips with a few others friends, but only see me in a few clips). Egor can clarify for the clips I wasn't there on with the scuba divers but it's almost certainly the same case 😁

[@rabbieburns2501]

Not a freediver, but I would say .. don't grab onto everything on a wreck! Damages the wreck and could cut the shit out his hands, just plain common sense

[@androopr]

Egor is the real deal, except this is how we freedive in Canada in Egor's case 🥶😉 As you guys suspect, we would never do this with just anybody - we have our very close team. There is a lot going on off camera before entering the water and while in the water

[@DIVETALK]

Thanks for adding some clarity!

[@stanley1554]

Canadians are known for soft wrists. That's the only issue with Canada.. much like the rest of the "collective West" weak society.

[@Musiknird]

Russians are a very special kind of people. When we had Russian divers as customers we would say it would be a day of russky diving because you never knew how it would end. Lol!

I love all ur content. Don't pay attention to the complaints of the regular 20 dislikers. Man I'm glad there's a vid out today.

[@captindo]

Every Canadian kid in the maritimes is taught about falling through ice and what to do. It's a hard go if you fall through and can't find the opening or punch through. That's a special kind of cold, cheers from Canada guys and thanks for these videos, I've come to enjoy these every evening with a coffee when I can relax.

[@jonahm2233]

Depending on the length of the dive, when you surface from longer dives it’s necessary to do hook breaths to prevent blacking out, in that case you wouldn’t place the snorkel back in mouth. If it’s a causal dive and you know you’re not pushing the limits placing the snorkel back in the mouth instantly is normally okay!

[@cleanserene6330]

What is a hook breath?

[@jasesadventures2834]

I want someone to love me as much as woody loves his coffee ☕️

The walking upside down on ice was so cool and surreal. Love it that we found out Woody’s kryptonite… cold! 🥶

[@orlandosantana8490]

I'm so happy that your channel is growing so fast. I remember when there were only 2k subs when I found this channel. It wasn't that long ago that the waitress became the 10k subscriber! It's because of you guys that I went on my first dive last month. I wish I could afford to go to the event your holding in Florida. I'm starting to save money now for the next time you have one so I can go! Love the knowledge that you guys share with us. I truly understand why safety is so important to you. Thank you guys so much

[@adamshiek5113]

Lmao i love you guys. Dont use the snorkel bc if you black out with it in your mouth underwater you will drown. Your jaw locks up when you black out. No snorkel no way for water to get into your mouth down your throat. If you have the snorkel and blackout you have a stright pipe right down your throat and will drown. Always freedrive with buddies never go alone. Even the best will black out at some point

[@egornesterenko4782]

totally. The buddy is there, just dont see him in the videos, just FYI :)

[@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk]

If you were a proficient free diver and you did a risk assessment of each element of that ice dive I think you would square it up with a probability of safe. Good weather top side, no current, shallow dive, excellent viz, heavy insulated suit and exit marked by a person in the water. Weakest link is probably the friend yet as long as he is not have eyes for your missus should be ok :)

The ice traverse scene reminded me of the ice free dive traverse scene in the movie “The Big Blue” about the late Jacques Mayol. When going to college in Florida in the 80’s my buddies would fly down to do some diving and we would make it a point to watch that movie the night before our first dive once or twice a year!

[@peteskyrunner4845]

Well done guys. A month on and he now has 899 subscribers. As for the risk of breaking through the hole with an axe, the guy filming on top of the ice probably had an axe himself to break through if things went wrong. They could have set a safe time like 1 minute where he would break it if Egor hadn't managed to. It's basically made to look like a life or death situation for shock value. Like when escapologists leave it till the last second to escape a sealed tank of water etc. That's my theory anyway.

[@ForheDew]

9:43 I love how Woody just has to explain the joke xD

[@stevenbrindamour3777]

hahaha, hay Woody! when i took my ice diving course, the instructor was just getting back from his morning swim in the lake, as we showed up for owe certification dives in the same lake. it was -20 on the surface with windchill. he had two access points in the ice he used for his swim, from one hole to another. haha, and yes 7mm wet suits only were allowed for the dives, no drys for us! he wanted to prove to us that's all you need to dive ice. the group did a herd dive and had a 40min hockey game with a floating puck, 4 on 4 with the instructor as the referee. the game was a blast and not cold at all with a water temp 34F. (quit warm compared to the surface temp) all passed the course. and yes it was a full course not just the fun part.

[@Nilboggen]

You take the snorkel out when diving so that if you black out it doesnt keep your mouth open and allow you to suck in more water. You put the snorkel back in prior to surfacing incase the water on the surface is choppy so you don't suck in water on your first breath.

[@ianstevens8295]

But the intelligent people who find all this content fascinating dont just stop at yalls videos. We'll search for reasons, answers, how and why. Cave divers/explorers are swimming in no mans land and to me are legit THE MOST apex individuals of exploration. Regardless whether its a mapped cave or not.

[@TheRealestEric]

I dunno. I like the explanations and the exposition. It's enlightening and it keeps us from having to go and look at potentially junk info. Hearing it from the mouth of a trained and legit diver (two of them) is the best deal imo.

[@elphieglindie3285]

And I can’t go too deep because I haven’t cleared it with my spine surgeons. Side note: I’m married to a Russian immigrant, they are in fact pretty badass.

[@JadedBelle]

[@nunyabhissness8481]

Most freedivers use a basic snorkel which does not have a float valve to prevent water filling it. Otherwise with a rental shop snorkel it's like you got a little balloon strapped to you. If you keep your lungs full while diving, you can clear the snorkel on your exhale. There is technically some "dead space" where the snorkel has some of your exhaled air but it is minimal. Often I will use the snorkel rather than popping my head up, in order to keep my mask underwater so I don't lose track of whatever landmark or sea life I'm investigating.

[@teabee44]

Just a fyi and I know it sounds crazy but if you happen to fall in water or just get wet and there is snow around you just roll around in the snow and it will absorb the moisture and help you dry out faster, by having dry skin will help prevent rapid heat loss. You will still be cold but it is better than being wet.

[@sandracristinacr]

I loved the video and your reactions are priceless! Almost choked on the crumbles of my bread when watching the guy cutting the ice, "you got to your destination", the hole is closed ah ah ah!! Badass!! Woody "Is that really supposed to happen??"

[@nuclearping]

Regarding the ice dive: There are special "opencell" wetsuits for freedivers (Elios Yamamoto 45 for instance), which are tricky to get into (must be either dressed on in water or on land with the help of a lubricant) but they will basically suck onto your skin and create a seal so that no water will come in. A good (tailor-made) 8mm wetsuit is like a second skin can easily protect you up to 2 hours in ice water.
