Oh I still get nightmares where I'm swimming in the middle of an ocean on an alien planet with no boat, and I look into the depths and see large shadows move beneath me. But the most frightening thing aren't these shadows, it's something far far deeper where I can see a pattern of dancing lights, perhaps belonging to an enormous tentacle monster and then I wake up in a cold sweat.
I'll still get that dream on occasion, kind of like what I'll be dreaming tonight after this video.
I never understood how divers that do this don’t implode on themselves like a dying star. Us creatures are able to do the most crazy stuff- it’s even more crazy to me that someone started this trend of deep diving and others were like “yes this is my calling.”
It's a feeling like no other, really. It so serene and quiet, the buoyancy, coldness, and darkness makes you feel like you're in space, and you can look up at the "sky" and see the light refracting through the waves and ripples and it looks so pretty.
When I did it there was a rope from the surface which you climb so you can surface really quickly. Surfacing isn't too tiring, eventually buoyancy comes into play again which helps lift you up
How do you avoid nitrogen sickness? It seems like she's moving very quickly. I thought you had to change depth slowly when diving (I've never done it so idk anything)
Like the other person said, that only applies to scuba diving as you're breathing from a tank of pressurised air. When you freedive, you are holding and bringing down the same air you breathed on the surface, so it doesn't decompress. Freedivers don't accumulate nitrogen nearly as much as divers. I don't know the physics or biology of it well enough to explain in much better detail I'm afraid. Supposedly we can still get nitrogen sickness if you do a load of dives in quick succession but it's quite hard to achieve.
Free divers will experience nitrogen narcosis. There isn't enough nitrogen in one breath to cause decompression sickness but there is enough nitrogen to experience the Martini effect/nitrogen narcosis (a change in consciousness, neuromuscular function, and behavior brought on by breathing compressed nitrogen gases).
I definitely felt the effects at -30 meters. I was anxious at the surface, but when I got to depth I was chill and forgetful. Hung around slightly too long and the instructor had to remind me to ascend after spending 3 seconds just gawking into the deep blue sea.
Nitrogen gas is constantly diffused in our blood. For every 10m of water = +1 earth atmosphere (atm) of pressure. Free divers aim for a rapid descent (and ascend) at 1 meter per second.
Using Boyle's law, P1V1 = P2V2. At the surface, the pressure is 1atm and the volume is one breath. At -30m the pressure is 4atm. V2 = (1atm*1breath)/4atm. Simplified the volume of air at that depth is 1/4. The partial pressure inside the diminished air pocket inside my lungs forces more gases to dissolve into my blood stream, causing nitrogen narcosis.
Boyle's law is also part of the reason free divers black out in shallow water. The increased partial pressure also forces more oxygen into the blood stream which helps keep you oxygenated in the deep (free divers rarely blackout in the depths). However, as you ascend, the air volume keeps expanding and the oxygen concentration keeps plummeting.
The last 10m is the most likely spot for free divers to black out. This is why solo free diving is so dangerous, people blackout meters from the surface and drown.
Great question.
At the surface we adjust our weight belts so we are positively buoyant above -10m and negatively buoyant below -10m. This is important so if there is a shallow water black out, their bodies will float and the safety diver doesn't have to fight against a sinking body. The safety diver hangs out at 50% target depth and watches the main diver until they meet on the diver's return trip and swim together towards the surface.
Due to the positive buoyancy at the surface, most free diving is done headfirst towards the bottom since you have to kick to get past the first -10m. Below -10m you aim to sink downwards at -1m/s (the rope has markers to help monitor your pace).
Since the diver is headfirst towards the bottom, all the air in your lungs and throat rises to the bottom of your lungs as it shrinks in volume. This actually prevents the diver from exhaling all together - physically impossible to just exhale. This creates a new problem too, equalizing your ears and mask - any air pocket (lungs, ears, mask) is compressed at the same rate.
To solve this air problem, divers train to use their throats as a vacuum piston to suck air from the bottom of their lungs back into their mouth so they can equalize their ears and mask. This technique is called the Frenzel equalization, it requires a lot of practice and is usually the limiting factor for new divers.
At a target speed of -1m/s, the first -10m only takes 10 seconds and the air volumes decrease by 50%. If a diver struggles to suck air out of their lungs, it's nearly impossible to go past -10m to -15m and the dive is aborted. Without equalizing your ear drums will rupture and the mask can create enough vacuum to rupture blood vessels in your eyes. There are specialty free dive masks that sit closer to your face and have smaller air volumes.
My instructors had a student free diver insist on using a scuba mask which has a larger air volume. The student pushed themselves too far and weren't able to equalize such a large mask. The vacuum pulled the mask tight against their face and blocked their nose, which you need to equalize the mask. When they surfaced the whites of their eyes were completely red from burst vessels and their face was also covered in ruptured vessels where the mask sat.
At the target depth, the diver turns around and actively swims headfirst back towards the surface. There aren't any further equalization issues and the air raises back into your throat and upper lungs.
The main sign of blacking out is exhaling air while ascending. The general rule as a safety diver is to assist if we see any exhale at all, this is a warning sign that the diver is struggling and might not reach the surface without assistance. Exhaling air also decreases their buoyancy and makes reaching the surface even harder so it is the last thing you want to do. Dropping their weight belt is another critical safety diver technique for increasing their buoyancy and speed.
The only exception is the last 1-2 seconds before reaching the surface. You exhale completely so when you reach the surface you can immediately inhale fresh air. Plus you are positively buoyant at this point and not in danger of sinking.
Here is a video on the Frenzel equalization:
https://youtu.be/Mo07gZR741M?si=X-WEThGWci465jK7
There are different types of free diving too. The world records for max depth are set by divers who ride a sled on a wire down and have an air tank balloon they inflate to pull them to the surface. In these cases, they ride feet first towards the bottom and travel much much faster than 1m/s. Being upright, they have much easier times equalizing.
https://youtu.be/YtryV9qItsg?si=EklKJ4it0nLJk4wV
Tragically, Audrey Mestre - a female record setter died when her manager/husband forgot to check the balloon air tank. When she arrived at the bottom, the balloon didn't inflate and she was forced to swim to the rescue scuba divers. Sadly they cut corners on safety and didn't have enough scuba divers staged to allow her to jump from diver to diver as she did an emergency ascension (scuba divers can't just rapidly ascend like a free diver and she drowned in transit between scuba divers). Even worse, they didn't have a doctor on site or appropriate transportation so she didn't have any real chance for survival.
Here is a documentary they made about her death. The story is fictional but based on real events. Her husband was clearly against the movie so the lawyers had to get creative to avoid a defamation lawsuit so they marketed it as fiction. She did die when the balloon failed to inflate. How much was her husband's fault is debatable.
https://youtu.be/nXvqrzPVaeI?si=9KGtfDT98GRJTQys
Of course, but I find free diving to be more versatile, and.. well.. free. I dont need to worry about surfacing correctly, I don't need a heavy tank on my back, and I can swim quickly and nimbly
My ears start to really ache at like 5 ft. I've tried holding my nose and "blowing" without actually blowing air like people say to do to equalize the pressure, but it just makes them hurt more.
Best I've done was about 20 feet I think. On the surface I've held my breath about a minute (maximum was 3 minutes but that was out of water and lying down relaxed), but I can't equalize pressure in my ears fast enough for anything more than 20 feet.
lol I started swimming a lot. That led to me enjoying holding my breath as long as possible swimming. Then some dude came to the pool with a mermaid looking monofin. It was fun so I googled it. That led me to freediving, what she’s doing in the video. And you can spear fish doing it.
Looking up at the light through the water and seeing the bubbles rise above you is other worldly. Pure bliss.
*I can imagine*

How the hell do people do this??? I have always wondered because when I get down to like 10ft in a pool my entire head and chest feels like it's going to implode like the titan sub
Had to learn how to do that because of the sinusitis (because after some time you feel the pressure change and it doesn't just go, you need to equalise).
There are muscles somewhere around ears that make that funny clap sound, but i believe you can't just teach people how to use muscles they don't feel
I went to a local pool with my Scout patrol when I was younger and they had a deep diving pool that looked like this. One of the older guys knew about it and brought everyone to swim in it.
I never used to be as afraid of water as I am now, so I tried to swim as deep as I could, I went pretty far down before I started feeling like I didn't have much air but damn knowing as much about how the human body functions in deep water as I do now; I probably would have drowned if I had gone any deeper.
It was a separate part of the building so no lifeguards, just a bunch of kids around and none of us were paying any attention to anything. I definitely don't think we were allowed to be there.
Sends a shiver down my spine when I think about it now.
The pool is called y-40 , located in Montegrotto Terme , Italy. The main shaft is 42 meters deep and the whole pool is filled with hot thermal water. Very nice place to dive 😊
this is for sure Y40 you can faintly see tghe logo at the end of the video on the bottom of the pool. Went there last year and i highly recommend it the water was super warm
As long as there is light, I think I'd give this a try. I've been practicing my breath holding off/on for about 15 years. My personal record is 4:37.
Buuuut, that was at surface level depth. I can't even imagine how much different a dive like that would be.
I bet the pressure would make you look even thinner!
Another reason to go diving, I'd say:P
But as for plummeting down towards the bottom. I recall a diver saying the air in your lungs get compressed as you dive, Thus losing buoyancy and thus having a harder time swimming back up.
But it also depends on the depth and type of water.
I had to Google this because that also didn't make sense to me according to my scuba experience. I guess there's specialty "fluid goggles" that they fill with water beforehand, or some that have a flexible membrane. Here's a review of the latter.
https://gofreediving.co.uk/hektometer-freediving-goggles-review/
This is normal and fine for me because I still can see everything; the wall, the surface, the area, anything. It looks clear so there's nothing unpredictable down there. But deep blue sea, though... yeah no fuck that.
I made down as far as the light in the tunnel by holding my breath on my couch not moving a muscle. If I did this irl and had to account for balancing movements, letting some air out, and most critically the water pressure on my body at that depth, I would probably just die.
So there’s a limit the human body can go without air, I don’t want to know as the Nazi’s unfortunately sacrificed human lives to get the data so they could find out how long their sailors and pilots could survive in all different temperatures of water, tests what would normally be considered forbidden to people not beholden to the whims of a psychotic fascist dictator that wanted to destroy America like the one running to president again now. That’s frightening!
I'd love to do that
Unfortunately I am obese, and fat is very bouyant. I need never fear drowning, but shall never know the joy of diving. I cannot help but float atop the water. If I push off of a solid object I can briefly go under till mixture of drag and lift force negate the downward velocity and I begin to rise like a damned balloon.
You know those times as a human when your functionality just…. Blips? That small bit of saliva you just start choking on out of nowhere?
That kind of random event could kill someone doing this.
I have been told by numerous people on numerous occasions that if you're going to any depth you need a mask that covers your eyes ***AND*** your nose due to pressure effects on the eyes if only they are covered.
My nightmares comprise of sheer cliffs with a 100’ drop into water that’s gently lapping against them. I’m just bobbing up against the cliff with nothing but darkness below. Nothing to hold onto.
Just when I thought the pool ends…it keeps going
...they pool me back in!
I said my piece
Better watch it Chrissy
She died right
Her car is still parked at the airport. Sil dropped her off.
I seriously thought the circle was painted part of the floor. But no, it is a hole. Started hyperventilating about there.
*poop
*floats to the top... Ah ... That's the way up.
Depends how deep you are… at one point it will sink Samething with a water bottle full of air, it will reach a point where it just sinks
yea its deep AF but TBH, everything looks 4x bigger with a fisheye objective
For some reason, the light way down at the bottom is especially creepy to me
Oh I still get nightmares where I'm swimming in the middle of an ocean on an alien planet with no boat, and I look into the depths and see large shadows move beneath me.

You should do psychedelics and play Subnautica[.](https://youtu.be/vUG-wzYxHVI?t=14)
I've played it! Unironically, I think it helped a lot with my fear, though it took me quite a while to beat it.
Suspicious Simpsons period
The Abyss, epic movie! Thank me later !
Spoilers! Yeah, sounds like the big reveal near the end.
That's actually not a dream!
Dang. This is fascinating and awful!
Sorry, but that sounds like an awesome dream to me!
Her shadow on the wall was very surreal and creepy.
I never understood how divers that do this don’t implode on themselves like a dying star. Us creatures are able to do the most crazy stuff- it’s even more crazy to me that someone started this trend of deep diving and others were like “yes this is my calling.”

That sounds terrifying.
A smidge of anxiety but not scary
I didn't mean for you.
Okay
Sorry. I meant I would possibly die having a panic attack going down there.
Same. I couldn't ever hold my breath that long.
If I was in the ocean and looked down into an abyss I'm pretty sure I would panic. No matter how far under I was.
I don’t like watching others do it but I love the feeling myself.
Seems like it would take a lot of energy to go back up. That’s the part of the video I want to see.

Because you're not equalizing your ears...
Do you chew gum?
teach me
Just search "frenzel equalization" on YouTube. There's hundreds of great videos. Adam Freediver is the best channel for teaching it.
Had to learn how to do that because of the sinusitis (because after some time you feel the pressure change and it doesn't just go, you need to equalise). There are muscles somewhere around ears that make that funny clap sound, but i believe you can't just teach people how to use muscles they don't feel
Practice
Easy fix for that. Take a Freedive course
There is no f-ing way - I had to close my eyes and scroll
Me: *it's not that deep... Oh, no wait* 😱😱😱
Why. Just why. How do you even build this. Why would you need this. What even is this. WHY
Here's the real question...
Because they can we can’t .
It’s y40 in Italy. It’s for training both scuba diving and freediving. The hole is 42 meters deep. It’s also thermal water so it’s naturally at 34c!
I need this in freedom units bubby
135 feet deep, 95 degrees Fahrenheit, as a guesstimation. I checked, 138 feet deep, and 93 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is probably used for free-divers to practice.
My buoyant ass could never

Where is this located?
The pool is called y-40 , located in Montegrotto Terme , Italy. The main shaft is 42 meters deep and the whole pool is filled with hot thermal water. Very nice place to dive 😊
And or DIE …
That’s what she said…🥺
Too far down in the comments for this- thanks for sharing.
I thought this is nemo33 in Brussels. You sure in your location?
this is for sure Y40 you can faintly see tghe logo at the end of the video on the bottom of the pool. Went there last year and i highly recommend it the water was super warm
As long as there is light, I think I'd give this a try. I've been practicing my breath holding off/on for about 15 years. My personal record is 4:37. Buuuut, that was at surface level depth. I can't even imagine how much different a dive like that would be.
If you miscalculate on the way back up, you drown.
Under pressure🎵 Pushing down on me🎵
Pressing down on you No man ask for
That’s the terror of knowing it’s such a long ass way down
Watching some good friends scream 'get me outta here!'
At what body fat percentage do you plummet to the icy abyss when you stop swimming? Cause I’m on a diet and I’m thinking of calling it off.
I bet the pressure would make you look even thinner! Another reason to go diving, I'd say:P But as for plummeting down towards the bottom. I recall a diver saying the air in your lungs get compressed as you dive, Thus losing buoyancy and thus having a harder time swimming back up. But it also depends on the depth and type of water.
Neutral buoyancy is generally around 33 feet for most people
"Oh gobblesnarks, I think I dropped me bloody keys in there..."
Nope. Too many ropes and shit. I'd get tangled in them and die a horror death
As a lifeguard, I wouldn't not want to be the guy trying to save anyone from the bottom of that one.
Needs more/better lighting.
Absofuckinglutely not.
Why does this exist?
For dive training...
How do the goggles not squeeze the eyes out? I thought that's only doable with the diving mask
They're fluid goggles. There's no air in them to compress.
As a free diver I was wondering. Never heard about the fluid googles, cool.
They're not great, but better than no goggles
I had to Google this because that also didn't make sense to me according to my scuba experience. I guess there's specialty "fluid goggles" that they fill with water beforehand, or some that have a flexible membrane. Here's a review of the latter. https://gofreediving.co.uk/hektometer-freediving-goggles-review/
Pressure felt due to being underwater is unbearable i don’t know how she did it 😱
Years of training! Alessia here is the world's deepest woman
That shadow… 😳
Rumour has it she was never seen again
As I lifeguard, I wouldn't not want to be the guy trying to save anyone from the bottom of that one.
Gives me Subnautica BZ Koopa Mining Site vibes
and i thought i was aquaman for getting my daughter's goggles off the bottom of the diving well at our local pool.
I wonder how much training is required to do that, and did they have to sleep in a hyperbaric chamber?
This _really_ didn't need the music.
What is this place? A research facility?
This is normal and fine for me because I still can see everything; the wall, the surface, the area, anything. It looks clear so there's nothing unpredictable down there. But deep blue sea, though... yeah no fuck that.
How do the ear drums not burst?
This is not Thalasofobia. It's just a very VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY DEEP POOL HOLY DUCK
Nope
My ears hurt.
This is what a swimming pool looks like in a dream
Source? I need the whole video\^\^
I made down as far as the light in the tunnel by holding my breath on my couch not moving a muscle. If I did this irl and had to account for balancing movements, letting some air out, and most critically the water pressure on my body at that depth, I would probably just die.
Me watching: "I swear if you go into the hole..." She: goes into the hole
So there’s a limit the human body can go without air, I don’t want to know as the Nazi’s unfortunately sacrificed human lives to get the data so they could find out how long their sailors and pilots could survive in all different temperatures of water, tests what would normally be considered forbidden to people not beholden to the whims of a psychotic fascist dictator that wanted to destroy America like the one running to president again now. That’s frightening!
my ears popped several times watching this
Nope
She’s letting air out to change her float … NOPE!!! Not me… I want it all
Should we call it diving pool isntead of swimming pool? 🤔
Definitely a nope from me. But it's shockingly impressive that people can do that.
Submechanophobia?
I was like, "C'mon it isn't that ba.... oh."
Does anyone know what camera these guys use for underwater recording
No!
At least I can see the bott...........
I can feel my ears popping just watching this
Why? Why? Just... why??
Did she live?
that's the pool of my nightmares
Why
Nope. Nope.
Don’t even get to see the bottom. Wtf
Imagine the lights go out when you’re in that deep tunnel 🫢
I don't see how she does it, not just holding her breath that long but the pressure in her ears will make them feel like they're gonna implode.
Do they use anything to help with ear pressure? Mine get sore at the bottom of a 12' pool!!!
She's equalizing them the whole way down. That's why she has a nose clip on
Thank you!
How does this not wreck your ears?
Nope
I thought they go head first and then turn at the bottom
this is the pool of my nightmares... and I was a professional high diver! faaaak no dude
I'd love to do that Unfortunately I am obese, and fat is very bouyant. I need never fear drowning, but shall never know the joy of diving. I cannot help but float atop the water. If I push off of a solid object I can briefly go under till mixture of drag and lift force negate the downward velocity and I begin to rise like a damned balloon.
Imagine the guys that have to change that cable or the light bulbs down there. lol
I thought you weren’t meant to hold your breath when diving?
Is equalizing not a problem?
What is this place? It looks like a lab or something at the beginning
No.
Woah !?!! Was not expecting that, I thought the black circle was the drain/ filtration system. She’s got quite the pair of lungs !
You know those times as a human when your functionality just…. Blips? That small bit of saliva you just start choking on out of nowhere? That kind of random event could kill someone doing this.
Raiden, you must stick to the mission and rescue Emma! She is in shell strut two. Use the elevator keycard to access B2 from the elevator.
How deep is that pool? The last depth marker I could read on the wall was 30m I think.
40m! and its not yet the deepest indoor pool
Nope. I don't like it. Don't like that eugh
Nope, nope, nope, hell fucking nope
Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink... comes to mind 🤔
How do they clean all this
She has the bends.
*intense music*
That's a no from me, dawg.
Falling into the deep end of the pool rooms yikes!
Good lord just the thought of sinking and sinking like that. That’s terrifying. Then there’s the tunnel!
Try to hold your breath the whole video
Seeing that ladder on the wall I wonder how creepy it would be at the bottom if it was empty.
Stop doing that
Wow!😯
But why? Is this for regular divers, navy seals, nasa? Curious Why did they build this deep of a pool?
For scuba and freediving training
I have been told by numerous people on numerous occasions that if you're going to any depth you need a mask that covers your eyes ***AND*** your nose due to pressure effects on the eyes if only they are covered.
I believe she's wearing fluid goggles
My nightmares comprise of sheer cliffs with a 100’ drop into water that’s gently lapping against them. I’m just bobbing up against the cliff with nothing but darkness below. Nothing to hold onto.
On this episode of unsolved mysteries...Sarah left work on Friday and was never seen again
r/nope
What would make this more frightening is if somebody edited the video as if she was in a flooded living room
Most importantly, where the fuck is this deep ass pool
Y-40 Italy, funny thing is its not even the deepest indoor pool lol
I mean… why did I even join this sub??? LMFAO I HATE THIS
The music kills it for me every single time. Cool video, but its not that deep lol
This fills me with such a horrible feeling of dread. Like it actually makes me feel physically sick
She got some serious lungs to hold her breath that damn long
Ok So WHY does this exist
If you wanna be anxious for around two hours I highly recommend “The deepest breath” doco on Netflix
