For the record: 4:24 the equalization is done on the way down, not the way up; 4:48: disorientation is caused by lack of oxygen, not by water pressure.

@Ivan989v Год назад

I’m surprised that 60 minutes has so many major factual error’s in this report. Everyone makes mistakes, but brand of such magnitude is not allowed to make rookie mistakes like that. I realize that they might not have an experts on board, but at least they could have shown this piece to Alexey before publishing it. Also, having a lanyard attached to the line won’t really help to “yank up” a freediver back to safety. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

@lmorandini Год назад

@@Ivan989v “yanking up” an unconscious diver can happen as a last resort measure. In other words: the lanyard is there mainly to avoid an unconscious diver stray off the vertical line, so that is is easier for the safety diver to carry him back to the surface; however, if the depth is too much for the rescue to happen this way, the bottom plate can be pulled up with the unconscious diver tied to it by his/her lanyard (the bottom plate being far larger than the lanyard karabiner).

@Ivan989v Год назад

@@lmorandini thanks - that’s exactly what I thought. The report gives a faulty idea that in a case of an emergency a freediver can be quickly “yanked up” to safety, which obviously is not how it works.

@dr.physiker9930 8 месяцев назад

All his victory belongs to his mother, since she taught him to this technique, she was not only the best free diver but a sceintist, she developed a unique diving technique and was finishing her habilitation thesis, after ph d., there were a lot of jealous people around. I think she was killed bcs of financial interest, advertisement money, she was hindering other people from becoming a winner, bcs she had always won, The 2nd version: her research for military divers which got interest from military, the foreign agencies did not want that she will finish the work. 3rd: very suspicious behaviour of her son, he never was sad, showing a grief about his mother loss, she was taking away the whole fame from him, he was there when she dissappeared. So, she could not get drown in a see, almost impossible, she was the best, very cautios.

Only for him to show up weeks afterwards saying he was held in another world inside the water all the while. Existence is deep, you would agree. I don't suppose the third reason should ever come up that the son never felt sad about the Mom. That's preposterous because people react to things differently doesn't make them complicit.

@RedpilldGenexAmerican Год назад

Aren't the safety divers usually scuba divers?

@cs108828 8 месяцев назад

No. Scuba divers would be unable to help, and put their lives at risk as freedivers. When you breath with scuba underwater you take in air at the pressure of the environment around you - i.e. at 10 meters at 2x atmospheric pressure, at 20m at 3x atmospheric pressure, etc. As soon as you take a breath of pressurized air under water, you can only ascend very slowly, otherwise you risk both lung rapturing and air embolism. Freediving allows you to ascend and descend at any spees without having to worry about the effects of inhaling pressurized air, which is why safety divers have to be freedivers.

The whale tail fins just seem wrong. You would think you'd get much more speed using 2 long flippers... and not having to use the. " Dolphin" fashion of swimming. Using 2 legs separated legs kicking just makes more sense... I'M NOT DOUBTING this man. He is amazing!!

@felixsonntag2356 Год назад

Freediving is not about speed, but about preserving oxygen, and with using less energy one can get lots of propulsion. Freedivers actually go a little bit deeper with monofins than with bifins.

@MobileVisions Год назад

Takes less muscle to execute mono fin kick vs two legs kicking opposite. That’s why 100% of these competitions allow it. Conserving oxygen is the no1 task. More oxygen you burn the more CO2 builds… which is the trigger that gives you the urge to breath :)
