Herbert Nitsch: No-limit apnea world record at -214 m
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- The Austrian freediver, Herbert Nitsch, defies the depths of the ocean and goes from one amazing feat to another. He has held the world record for freediving since 2007: - 214 meters! The British director Alexander Abela, who is also a freediver, shadowed him for many months while he trained, and also during international competitions in Greece and the Bahamas. In order to reach these extreme depths, Herbert draws on the breathing techniques of marine mammals and forces himself to do hours of training every day. At one with the sub-aquatic world, he is looking to go beyond Man’s limits rather than just break records. His dream is to go deeper than 300 meters!

Meeting Herbert Nitsch is not only an amazing adventure, it's also a scientific one. This holder of 33 world records is constantly pushing back the limits of the human body.
Another freediving discipline is no less dangerous: no-limit apnea. This discipline, made popular by Luc Besson's classic "The Big Blue", allows you to descend to the deepest parts of the seabed. It consists of freediving without fins, using a cable and your arms to reach the greatest depth. During this dive, the freedivers are pulled by a rope, and when they reach their limits, they return to the surface using an air-filled balloon as a parachute. Herbert Nitsch will once again attempt to surpass his own limits and those of the human body, reaching -214 meters. A superhuman feat that no one else is capable of achieving in these vertiginous abysses.

to be fair, the story unfortunately doesn't end here. He tried another record later and technically got it but he suffered from several micro brain strokes while ascending, due to DCS. He got permanent damage and has now several cognitive problems as well as difficulties in articulating verbal language. His diving career is over, of course. His accident deterred more people from attempting new records in the 'no limits' discipline of free diving, which has fallen way out fasthion since, while on constant weight new records keep getting broken.
His Wikipedia says "The initial prognosis was that he would need home care and be unable to walk without assistance. However, through extensive rehabilitation, he made a strong recovery. He still has balance and coordination problems on land, but does not experience them underwater. He continues to deep free-dive."
Competitive diving is insane to me. It’s just like a poison-drinking contest or an electrical current-receiving contest.
How close to dying can I get without actually dying?
Probably a good thing people have stopped. I could get the appeal of free diving(or whatever you call it when people just dive with flippers and their body, no machine), but this seems like substantially more risk and doesn't even appear nearly as impressive.
Yeah it seems like a dumb record. Nothing is accomplished
@@joe9743most records are honestly pointless. If you want to have the fastest 100m hopping on 1 leg good for you. At least you won't lose your ability to talk and think.
The unsung hero of that video is the winch.
He looks like a villain from SpongeBob with that setup
❤
Impressive how he can equalize.
The problem is; the room for error is 0. One wrong move down there, one moment of panic of any sort, any equipment failure you are done.
Scuba diver here...
This is the first time ive heard of decompression being a concern for apnea divers... assuming the narrator was describing DCS where nitrogen gets pushed into blood at depth, i guess my prior understanding may have been all wrong.
Either you weren't paying attention in classes or your instructor didn't teach it correctly. DCS can occur in pretty much any form of diving. I've had ba few minor occurrences of DCS after spearfishing.
It is the same thing for freedivers as for scuba. Bubbles of nitrogen expands on the ascent and can cause DCS.
The difference is freedivers do not breathe any extra air so there is not that much nitrogen that can create bubles. The second factor is time of the dive itself, which is way shorter so the nitrogen doesnt enter the tissue as much. But freedivers still do build up nitrogen bubbles and because we cannot do safety stops, we have surface intervals to relase it and be able to do another dive safely.
Hope it helped ;)
It's all about depth and time.
Considering he suffered a stroke the next time he attempted to break that record due to DCS and has had trouble communicating let alone diving again... yeah, its a problem.
@@martinkudlacek487thanks!
2:47 why would they risk a boys life by having him ascend on the divers head?
😂 aww bless your heart. You really don’t know do ya buoy.
I bet your reply to me would be something like “you spelled boy wrong hahaha” … did i?
Not to be rude, but if you need a better machine to get you deeper I feel like at that point you might as well just use a regular submarine.
Not to be rude, but you sit inside a submarine and breathe normal air, there is no skill required. I’m sure you realise how stupid your comment was so you don’t need me to tell you.
How deep have you gone ?
@@oxymoron2349 my reply was deleted for some reason, but I think Oxymoron doesn’t really understand the topic he commented on.
As much as I despise free diving, this comment only suggests you don’t know jack shit about diving in any form.
@@addohmIt is obvious the OP is not a diver. To non diver, his comment makes sense. Why don’t you point out the finner points of this sport instead of being rude 🤷♂️🤦♂️
THE WORST DAY OF FISHING IS BETTER THAN THE BEST DAY OF WORKING
Wtf no
@@lucaspichon9818 This is what is written on his shirt
@@lucaspichon9818 GO HERE 6:16 ------- read his shirt bro LMAO
What?
It looks like they turn the diver into a human fishing lure 😂
Down rigger and all 😂
Incredible and dangerous
He will be in the news once again soon
most people who do this kind of thing will die sooner or later. so what exactly do they die for? for the fame and glory? but 99.99% of the living will never know what he did. so what fame and glory?
@@theoskylabor the experience...
What happened?
Another comment said that he attempted another record and he got it but suffered micro brain strokes on the descent upwards, leaving him disabled coordination and linguistic wise but it appears he has since made substiantial recovery through extensive rehabilitation and continues to free dive.@@akebomba1011
There will eventually be a point of which we can't go any deeper. Unfortunately, many will die before that point is realized! Impressive nonetheless!!
And then, someone will go 0.1 feet lower.
@@n085fs But then one day... ``starts playing summoning salt music``
Lovely Greece that no one mentioned!!
So this record is really just the deepest a human body can go and still survive?
You could say that. It's the deepest the current human body can go. But I am not sure about the future (like +20y).
Na saturation divers go deeper. The record is 534m.
And simulated record 701m. In an hyperbaric chamber.
He took 43 days to complete the record experimental dive, where a hydrogen-helium-oxygen gas mixture was used as breathing gas.
It’s the deepest someone can go on a breath-hold. You can go deeper if u have scuba.
Well he tried for 253m - he did survive, but with such severe decompression sickness he is cognitively impaired - apparently due to the equivalent of multiple strokes in his brain. So perhaps you could go deeper than that and still survive, but the data is not looking very good.
This isn’t even diving. This is equipment assisted apnea submersion. lol
Oh really? His bidy is not going deeper and deeper, experiencing the pressure of the deep sea? Just like in the pool you say?
Wut? @@MotoRide.
Ohh, why dont you also try then. @addohm
Yeah, it's just a suicidal stunt for the adrenaline rush. You just sit there and hope like hell you don't die.
If you want 4 digits then just use inches. You’re well past that.
Why though? Isn't the point of apnea diving NOT to use any equipment?
Can someone elaborate pls?
No equipment for air or equalization, all other "helps" are valid in each category. If you stick to the literal no equipment motto even wearing a wetsuit is cheating
I have two questions:
Why?
how?
I stay with snorkeling, thanks.
So, i'm confused. He takes air out of his lungs and puts it in a bottle. His lungs and the bottle are compressed at the same rate. He takes air from the bottle to help equalise his ears? This is air that was already in his lungs, not extra air. How on earth does this help? He may even loose some air during the transfers.
because at a certain depth you can't take air from your lungs up to your ears
It’s called mouthfill. A common technique. But his depth is too much so he needs the extra volume
You'll get there but, it's probably a one way trip.
Why we don’t see heart rate blood saturation etc?!!
This vid starts without like the bare minimum introduction
How can they come up so fast after going to that depth, from what I've learned from other videos of divers ascending to quickly but yet these guys are coming back up quicker and completely fine 🤷♂️
they just expose themself to water pressure for quite a short time so only some small amount of nitrogen is absorbed in their blood, plus there holding there breath, so this is not enough to get diving sickness symptoms. It is still possible to get the BENDS in free diving just very rare.
So he needs ear, nose and eyeprotection due to high pressure difference? It must be otherwise the water would burst in these cavities. I also imagine the chest being compressed due to atmospheric air in lungs.
It’s interesting with the coke bottle & the juggernaut characters helmet but it’s really passing the free from gear diving that gave it the name..
I don’t know anything about free diving but I presume you can’t use a powered sled. So the only way I can see to make it quicker is to make it heavier and/or from a denser material
I understand compression on the lungs as a person descends, due to increased weight of water surrounding the body, and then as the person starts to ascend back to the surface the lungs will actually start to have air (?gas) in them again due to decreased pressure on the body so the diver should exhale the air slowly out the mouth so the lungs do not explode. What puzzles me is how can the human body actually withstand this type of pressure to begin with? Also, If the human adult brain goes 4mins without oxygen, then according to medical professionals, we can acquire permanent brain damage. I was wondering if a free diver's blood is still pumping blood into the body while being under this intense pressure? I do know that Herbert sustained a brain injury on his record dive in 2007 and was wondering if it was due to lack of oxygen? Pressure on head? Or both?
They start with a full breath containing X liters of air. At 10 meters, the volume is reduced to half, and at 20 meters, it’s a third of the volume at the surface. The pressure in the lungs always matches the surrounding environmental pressure. This pressure doesn't affect our bodies, except for air-filled cavities like sinuses and ears. Equalizing involves opening these cavities so that lung pressure can enter them. Whether you equalize at 100 meters and then again at 103 meters or at 0 and 3 meters, the process is the same. On the ascent, the compressed air in the lungs expands back to its original volume, preventing any risk of explosion. This applies to freediving only. For scuba diving, you can take a full breath at any depth, but if you hold your breath while ascending, the expanding air can be fatal.
I have done 3 min 30 sec breath hold in my living room which isn't that impressive. There are people capable of 10 min holds without pure oxygen. I think the danger is blacking out. If you are holding your breath until the end, the brain will black out eventually and our reflexes will kick in and breath without being conscious. The danger is what happens when you are blacked out and you cannot breath - brain damage or/and drowning. I guess drowning itself is very similar as you are no longer "holding" your breath and you just cannot access oxygen that you have inevitably released before taking another breath. When you are holding it you are using every last drop trapped in your lungs but at exhail that goes away. Also, I have heard that blacking out when holding your breath is almost instant when it comes, you don't feel any different - one moment you are holding your breath and everything is ok, next it's lights off. This is why being unsupervised underwater is dangerous, also if you have done it once the subsequent times should be easier to trigger (just like in mma).
@@TheSkyFallTronic 3:30 min breath hold is damn impressive. Even in your living room. Be proud of that achievement
@@EnxhioKotoni I was following some Wim Hof instructions of 30 sec hyperventilation (you feel tingling in your fingers and light headed) into a breath hold and the 3:30 was achieved on the third consecutive try (there are supposed to be 3 tries). If I do it without preparation I get about 2 min 15 sec max
@@TheSkyFallTronic thanks. ill definetly try that. i can hold my breath at most 1:30 sec in a dive. want to get past 2 min barrier
I presume "don't touch him" is for a record. He doesn't want to be accused of having assistance.
Ok, I was wondering that and guessed the same.
The question is! What if the crane breaks down?
At 6:27 St Paul's bay a wonderful place to dive from the cliff
Good to see Master P’s crew doing well.

I don't understand why they don't accept my comments
Crazy man
How does he equalize his goggles???

My mama always told me that everyone has common sense…. Whatever floats your boat guys…….
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should
Я спросил ее, зачем идете в гору вы..?
I mean the bottle could have condensed O2.
Not saying he is cheating but..
Any way it was awesome!
Judt so Hard to believe
only one question...but why?
Why not !!
Isn't it dangerous to dive that deep?
No, it’s perfectly fine
Yeah, these are just actors. The Government doesn't want us to know that we can actually live just fine at the bottom of the ocean and find Atlantis
Why are they shouting don’t touch him when he comes out of the water?
i imagine it would be to keep the "record" status valid. just in case anybody touching him to soon could be seen as aide of some variety
Yes, that. But also 'cos fish do all sorts of icky stuff in dark water when they think no-one is looking.
All the people saying this is pointless and he's stupid for risking his life are the kind of people who will live and die without ever making an impact or leaving a legacy in this world, and half of you will likely die from alcoholism, you don't get it because you're already dead - you stopped living years ago.
Pathetic.
Olympic inscription form. SPORT? __________. Sinking. I sink and pop up.
To what benefit?
Humans are just curious and stupid at the sametime
Some records have no purposeful point to them: this is one of them. Who cares: I guarantee not many ppl at all.
Chasing death.
seing the thumbnail I thought they found Hitler in the sea
While it is pretty impressive, I wouldn't consider this diving. It's more just speed sinking while holding your breath. He did nothing under his own steam to descend. At this point, he may as well just swap that ridiculous weight and gravity for a sea scooter 🤷🏼♀️
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I am not yet completely sure about the universe.
I don't understand. Maybe I'm just not knowledgeable on this but I've seen no limit or freedivers with and without bottles.. I feel like a bottle could be cheating bc couldn't you just breathe into it and then back out like to get more air back into your lungs? I could be completely wrong. Not sure how that works
I think if it’s not a closed system (the bottle has air in it before it’s breathed into) you could be right, but otherwise you’re working with the same amount of air, because the total amount of air is from your lungs
Ему, его же, уже выдохнутый углекислый газ вдыхать снова? Смысл?
At around 30 meters, your lungs get compressed so much, that they are in negative-pressure state.
This means, you cannot get any air from lungs to mouth below that point. What he did was, when he started his dive, he exhaled air from his lungs into that bottle and later re-used that air to equalize the pressure.
In freediving once you reach that point (it's different for everyone but it's between 25m-30m) the only air you can use to equalize is the one that is in your mouth. The air from the bottle is not used to get more oxygen to your blood, but as a medium to equalize pressure and stays only in your mouth - you don't actually breathe it in

@@jancipittner2477 да, там же на такой глубине, давление уже очень сильное, а нужно и удержать воздух в лёгких...(ну и они же ещё тренируют переносимость нагрузок , без поступления кислорода)
Для этого что важнее, обьём лёгких ? Или мышечная сила?
@@SnowBlack-ty3vb Lung capacity is definitely more important than muscle strength for no-limit or static apnea disciplines, where there is not any movement involved.
In general, being skinny is usually preferable, however there are divers like Alexey Molchanov, who is definitely more muscular than traditional freediver and in his case CWT (swimming with monofin) or CWT-B(swimming with regular fins) or FIM (pulling the rope) it shows that being muscular seems to be an advantage in these disciplines.
The tolerance exercise you are talking about is actually about tolerating increased levels of CO2. Your body doesn't perceive lowered amounts of oxygen and once it reaches certain threshold, you feint (black out).
Also if you equalize regularly, you don't really notice the increased water pressure on your body, except on your diaphragm that starts to move. For inexperienced divers, this can be somewhat painful, but these pros stretch their diaphragm daily so it's much more manageable
Nobody touch him !?
The diver needs to do the surface protocol, to prove that he is well and his dive is then valid.
One of the things is that noone can touch you (help you stay at surface), you need to keep your airways clear from water, remove the facial equipment show ok sign to the judge and say i am ok.

Your life is pointless
For any given hobby sport or passion there are plenty of people that will say it's completely pointless. I bet there are things that you do that many people would think are completely pointless. The point is it's not pointless if it isn't pointless to you. This is not pointless to the people that do it.
Pushing human body to its limits is never pointles, it gives knowledge!
Soccer is pointless
I agree this is comically stupid. The fact some die over this is pathetic & comical. This isn’t free diving. Just because there are people around that agree that it’s free diving doesn’t mean people in the future will. So so dumb. Countries need to come down on people doing this & make it illegal.
He will definitely unalive himself…

Free diving isn't free and it isn't smart and it doesn't have a point. Is just a competition between you and your air.
Yeh we're all about safety over here.
