Depth wish - why freedive? 

The best thing about diving is that there is nobody talking. Everything is calm and you can feel a certain magic under water. Its like deep meditation, you just observe the beauty of the now! Great Video!

“The slower your heart beats, the calmer you are” You forgot “until you black out”

It’s people like this that show us what we are capable of. Brave souls

“The deeper you go, the slower your heart beats....” Until finally, it’ll stop altogether.

It ain't no easy job, following somebody to the bottom of the canyon, dragging a full frame camera in the housing down and up, thumbs up for an effort, well done! 👏👏👏💙

Ocean is just like a different world.

1:25 damn just imagine chilling at 40 meters under water and thinking about life....

I would've been out of breath just looking at the hole.

anyone else notice that he has no eye protection in salt water, gigachad

What you've given us is at the same time spiritual and educational, beautiful and true.

I’ve been learning to free dive lately. My personal record is 1:10 at 20ft deep. It’s so calm that even when you’re out of breath, you don’t want to go up.

The fact that he’s not even wearing goggles 😳

Thank you for putting it so concisely. There were times when I couldn’t express it, I only knew that when I was freediving regularly I never had depressive or anxious episodes, freediving was like therapy for me. Plus the fact that I had a really bad knee (just got it replaced) and I lived with pain on land, but under the water I could fly! The freedom was incredible. Speaking of which, I just finished my physical therapy for my knee replacement and I’m going freediving again ASAP!

Loved to see the safety. It's such a nice part of the dive when you see your friend

this blows my mind, absolutely amazing and inspiring. It really emphasizes the "free" in "free diving"

This sums up all the reasons why I freedive... literally, rhetorically, metaphorically and visually. Chapeau, this video is a masterpiece.

Awesome!

This has become my favorite video on the internet. I actually like to meditate to it! Both you(Daan Verhoeven) and Stig Pryds did an absolutely amazing job and you are both inspirational! Thank you both!

This is the canyon in Dahab, very beautiful place. When i freediving in it, there was a big awesome green grouper swimming by my side. Thank you for the good mood!

*This video literally gave another meaning to "Slow down."* ❤

will make a deep aquarium to experience this depth but I will never go outside since fear is a real thing for me

Wow, love this video and concept. Hands down to Stig and Daan!

This is such an amazing film! the cinematography is outstanding love it!

I really need to free dive.

I love that every word of your video in this channel has a deeper meaning. Not only water and diving, but also - life, people. Yourself and personal growth. You are very inspiring. Love your channel

I’d love to breath underwater and pretend to fly

You always make such engaging films! This one is no exception. The dream team is back!

I saw this video for the first time a year ago, and it resonated with something inside my soul. I knew I was born to do this. I finally got my pool certification, and hopefully I’ll pass my open water test this weekend!

I agree. Sitting in the depths of water where it is blocking out the sound and making you listing inwards is a special experience. I haven’t gone swimming in clear water for over 10 years to relax in its serenity but I feel the call watching this

just watching this makes my heart pumping.... so scary

It really is the most calming experience on the planet. I meditate in my pool every day. It’s not super deep so I have to go down on an empty lung to sink and I only last a few minutes before contractions start but it’s still very calming.

Once immerse in water the calmness makes you feel like you're in a magical world. Colourful fishes, coral reef. Surrounded by beauty of nature in quietness. This sort of experience makes you feel really wonderful.

Breathless, here is a 1000 likes, you deserve every one of it 👏👏👏😍 thank you for sharing 😍

after watching your video I could have gone through 26m dive at k26 - I kept thinking of your "I don't have a death wish, I have a depth wish" underwater hahah it became my mantra whenever I dive. Thank you so much for this beautiful video and thanks for the braveness!!🥳❤️

What a beautiful video! I can't imagine holding my breath for so long, let alone while expanding the energy to swim and explore.

Simply Amazing !! fantastic video

Awesome! I love the standing freefall🤩

How is this even possible... I swim to the bottom of a 6ft pool and it feels like my ears are going to implode. How does your body handle that kind of pressure? How do your lungs not rupture as the pressure decreases drastically as you return to the surface and the air in your lungs expands, or the air in your blood. Like this is legit super human, even ignoring how long you hold your breath for... I'm blown away

This video changed my day. Tks.

I'm totally perplexed and in awe. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I just like swimming with the fish 🤗

This is completely gorgeous, thanks for sharing this beautiful experience and idea with us, made my night one hundred percent better :)

Every single video on this channel inspire me so much. Thank you

I have found my god today!!Spent 10 minutes with intervals,going down my 22ft pool and now I am unbelievably relaxed and my breath is extremely slow , I am more and more aware of things on land. My mind is easy and stable. This is elixir, right here. Thank you Sir!!.

Lovely, well explained Stig!

When I was young, i could hold my breath for several minutes and dive quite deep, untill my ear popped and i almost died. My orientation was gone and didnt know what was up or down. I just saw the deep blue and sunlight everywhere. Then i saw the bubbles which came out of my ear and i started to follow them because they always go to the surface. That saved my life because i managed to get up right at time...since then I never dive again but i love the sea. I miss diving because i was always chilling at the bottom and had total piece down there.

Incredible footage

I love this video. Amazing and relaxing. My heart's need some like that...

man that was awesome! really made my evening! you sir have a great soul!

This place in Egypt in dahab ,near from the blue hole

Wow! Thx for sharing

Beautiful... so relaxing

This dude is just casually meditating underwater.

Imagine if he had to cough or sneeze.

Beautiful, and I loved the narration! Thank you!

You are amazing Sir.

I finally hit a 4min breath hold and I feel I’m almost ready to go down🤗

This man has the power to not breath.

This is i think the most POWER foul message You can take from this video - The deeper You go, the slower Your heart beats, the calmer You are. This is the ultimate answer for life. Thanks.

Beautiful beyond words. 🥺

Hola saludos desde México 🇲🇽

And here I am not able to be underwater for 4 seconds without breath

So Inspirational... Being this depth while holding your breath is an unique experience, probably like being in space with no suit.

This was so simple, beautiful and relax. Thanks and take care!

Great, Styg ! )

"The deeper you go, the slower your heart beats" Same. My heart is beating so slow underwater rn I think it sto-

So perfect description, so insightfull. So appropriate, as much as a freediver as a person in his daily self explorations.

Fantastic Brother! Love the message and the delivery. Keep up the great work inspiring others. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

I would love to play chess at the bottom, with a long oxygen pipe to avoid resurfacing,, awesome dude 😎

1:00 how players get to the bottom of the sea before the ocean update.

Dear Daan, how long my friend. I would like to thank you for your message a lot! Today I started my activities with a fast heart beating, with a lot of anxiety and some scare about the future after some news. I saw this magnificent video and after that, I heard it again with my eyes closed and trying to support my feelings with your words... You know what? It works! Blesses over you.

Much love, brother.

0:53 crack 🚶🏾‍♂️

Wieder ein sehr schönes Video. Deine Aufnahmen sind immer sehr beeindruckend.

Haunting and Majestic at the same time. Great video!

Jus training to hold my breath made more relaxed. It's been more effective than any meditation.

Excellent. Bravo! This is it.

The feeling is beyond words

Fantástico. Parabéns pelo seu desempenho.

Absolutely phenomenal

what a piece of art! you have chosen your words very carefully, i got goose bumps all over my body.

Why do I love watching this ....its beautiful

🙏BIG THANKS for the video and the message, the timing couldn't have been better. Greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴👍👍

Amazing as always. When he stood there at the bottom, thats why i wanna freedive, to explore the ocean like flying on land.

Wederom een pakkend verhaal met mooie beelden & montage. Ga zo door Daan!

great explanation of your view

Amazing, I am not ther but by watching you i can feel how relaxed you are.

Loved it for the exact reason you said in your video .

Beautiful. Thank you. 💝🙏🤲

Beautiful !

The cool thing about real meditation, is that it brings everything found beneath the sea to ones cushion, sitting in ones bedroom or on a patch of grass outdoors. You can sit as long as you like, for hours if desired, without needing any other activity to get you there. A direct line to the self, so to speak.

Wow, amazing. You're a super hero.

Amazing visibility 💙 I wish that everyone could experience this. Nicely captured.

Your videos calms my anxiety

Wow, simply wow. ❤️🙏❤️ from Montréal.

This video is a meditation it makes me feel calm and relaxing

The slower your heart beats the calmer you are

When you took the step to jump down the crack, reminds you of life. Until we take the plunge and push yourself you just dont know how far you will go. My friend you are living the dream. Ty for sharing it.

You are absolutely amazing guy! Shalom.

What a beautiful experience for only the finest . Great story, Thks for sharing
