The average person runs out of breath after a little more than a minute. What did you find most fascinating about the science behind free diving?
That im not avarage 🤣
In my younger days I used to be able to hold my breath for quite a while while swimming. I could Traverse a full length pool three times on a good day.
That you didn’t do your research before posting this useless video - delete it and try again.
National geographic appears to have prior knowledge of the sport equal to that of the "average person"
@@timallen643 25meter？
I can’t believe this made it to National Geographic’s page... this guy doesn’t sound like he has ever dove
I could tell as soon as he said flippers 😅
I Want to join you
the footage was funny though, but I agree, I thought it was Onion News or smth
He doesn’t have to dive to read a script and explain what could happen!
Sadly, not much is explained here... So let me help:
when you dive, the pressure around you (from the water) compresses your lungs as they are filled with air. This compression leads to compression of the gases as well, which makes it easier for the lungs to absorb the remaining oxygen in it. The pressure also compresses the gases that are usually in solution (like nitrogen) in your blood.
When you now swim back to the surface too fast, because you feel the need to breathe, your lung rapidly decompresses as the gases expand, making it much harder to extract oxygen. You suddenly have way too little oxygen in your system from the rapid pressure drop, making you fall unconscious (brain and muscle tissue are deprived of oxygen). On top of that, gases that were compressed in your blood, also expand quickly, forming bubbles in your blood that can block blood vessels and lead to infarcts.
thanks for ruining my dream of learning how to free dive 😔
Most of the fun for recreational free diving / spearfishing happens in 0-60 feet. No need to try for these extreme 300+ depths. Still dangerous though and I highly recommend taking a class if you’re a beginner. You’ll learn invaluable safety information.
@@janniebautista5483 Don't get scared by this bs. Take a freediving course or at least read book by any of great freedivers, like Umberto Pelizzari, William Trubridge, ...
I am a middle-aged guy and I am training for 5 years now. If you love water you are going to love this :)
@JeyTheGrey I am afraid you are not entirely correct here. 1st of all, the rapid desaturation leading to a decompression sickness which you mention at the end practically never occurs in freedivers (except in extreme record-beating performances) since they don't spend enough time at the depth to saturate and they never breathe air at the depth (contrary to scuba divers). 2nd the rapid pressure drop in the ventilation system does not automatically lead to an oxygen starvation. Since the greatest pressure difference occurs closest to the surface, freediviers in 99,99% of cases are able to breathe-in fresh air before oxygen level in blood drops enough to cause a blackout.
It’s called shallow water blackout, when your PO2 levels change too fast because you are ascending too fast. To avoid it, ascend within the last 10 meters or so with minimal finning, rather use your positive buoyancy to pull you up naturally to the surface and make sure to do recovery breaths correctly.
Imagine diving and and all of sudden you hear something says: *Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you are doing is worth it?*
Subnautica
😂😂
Decompression sickness does not happen in freediving unless you are doing multiple deep dives one after the other. Not enought time to accumulate nitrogen
how deep do you have to go for it to happen?
@@jacksonkoeppel2533 It's not a specific threshold, more like: Time under water X Depth reached = probability of DCS. But as others have said it's exceedingly rare.
@@girabbit what about free diving
@@jacksonkoeppel2533 Yep my comment is referring to freediving. I believe that when competitive freedivers are going to 80-120 metres, they will only do one or two dives per day just in case.
@@girabbit ok thanks
Click bait - poor quality content. Deleting this is a great idea. Do some research with actual freedivers next time.
He takes data from super deep divers and uses that to conclude no one should do this, awful video.
Accurate.
Absolutely
clickbait, exactly. he didn't even say anything to back up the title with "stupid" and "fail"
Superficial and misleading info about freediving. Really a shame.
If the intention was to give information to the public in order to educate and make it safer for people; you missed explaining the part which is the most dangerous.... hyperventilating. Taking big breaths before you hold your breath is literally the most dangerous thing people can do for freediving.
No “breath up,” no yogic breathing, no WimHof... that’ll kill you if you mix it with freediving. Tell people not to do this and you’ve done your job.
There, now people are safer.
dear can you plz guide us
Freediving is a real discovery. You can feel so much while underwater. Is it dangerous? Yes it is. That is why you have to take a serious course and never do it alone. To say that it is too dangerous and not fascinating: that is stupid!
Wow... I was expecting more when I saw the Natgeo logo
This video feels like an early 2000’s discovery channel segment
ikr😂 not at all like 2021
Like something from truTV
This video needed to be fact checked. The guy lists a bunch of dangers that are only present for scuba divers 😂
“flippers”
us divers: *imma take my gear and head out*
I remember when discovery channel resonated with knowledge rather than clickbait and silly scripted text.
I learned absolutely nothing
I doo spearfishing for a living and every freediver know the depths they can dive to .your body tells you when to stop .or when to tho back up ⬆️.
Lol the way the dude swam into the wall
I don’t like the approach. The title is definitely click bate but they are driving fear. The shark chasing the diver after his turn in the cartoon is a clear representation of this. Freediving must be performed with safety, knowledge and a buddy but this seems like more of a smear campaign then science video. Plus who names a series Science of stupid. What a negative name for something meant to be educational.
Free diving seems very fun, but I couldn't try it because I didn't have a chance. I admire the fact that the free diver in the video broke his record. After watching the video, I wanted to give it a try. It was surprising to see the free diver in the video diving across the size of a soccer field while holding his breath. When a beginner diver dives, he learns that oxygen is supplied to his head and delivered to his vital organs.
Almost nothing was explained🙄
Neither neitrogen narcosis nor decompression sickness are a problem of free divers. At least not if not done extremely. For both you have to spend a significant amount of time in the depths, which can not be reached easily by apnoe diving.
so true
Just hearing the term *free-diving* reminds me of Audrey Mestrè & gives me chills. RIP 🙏🏾
Definitely among the worst bits of information I’ve found on freediving.
Happy Halloween to everyone 🕷🕸🎃
I failed to undestand what you want or discovered
0:25 Minecraft sound effects 😂
The diver wearing the red Incredible suit lol
3:00 that made me lol
Yeah I know how that feel fought waves and almost drown for 6.5 minutes not snorkeling either, and it is like space foamy water could determine where was up or down. Almost drown She is amazing deeper than i'll ever want to go
0:43... Last I checked, 300 feet IS how long a football field is, yet he said 350ft, ALMOST the length of a football ball field.
🤔 Hmm...
He can't even get simple facts right
360 feet. 120 yards.
This is why we bigfoots never go free diving
Oops his face 🎃
Imagine if the great National Geographic, a 132 year old organization, tried to be Tik Tok. Sad.
I love this show
SIlly video that misrepresents several key facts about free diving
Decompression sickness in freediving😭😭😂😂
That music when the diver seems. I've heard it before but can't place it. Sounds like Disney. Anyone know?
cgarciahfcu It’s called “Aquarium” by Camille Saint-Saens. You’re right about Disney, they used a variation of this theme in the soundtrack to Beauty and the Beast (remake).
NatGeo? This had the information quality of a VOX video smh
This is just wrong no one gets deco sickness from freediving or the bends
Remember when nat geo was a respectable channel?
Ah you forget the fun parts...
Exploding lungs, decompression and laryngospasm.
Nothing except laryngospasm (which is good thing when you blackout) happens in freediving
I wonder will he meet a " *pineapple under the sea* "?
Nice record.
this video is exhausting
1:10 lol
very un-researched video
National Geographic
🍁🍁🇮🇳🍁🍁
The hindi version of SoS.. with Manish Paul as host.. is way way better.. and fun!!
what is the back ground music
No you cannot get decompression sickness from freediving only from scuba diving
Can you please turn the outro up already like before?
Decompression sickness is almost impossible in free diving. The mammalian reflex has to do with blood circulation and heart rate slowdown not with finning. The video is full of false information and childish humour by someone, apparently, completely ignorant about the subject.
When i free dive to 3-5m, my eyes want to jump out... Preasure is insane... I dont get it how they can get so deep
Are you wearing a mask or goggles?
you need to equalize your mask.. taught in free diving courses...
@@thaselloyd8289 without mask or any gear
@@FreediveNomad nothing
I had to double check to see whether this "National Geographic" channel is legit
2.1k view bruh 😁😁✌
Do you love science of stupid
👇
😂😂😂
Its only dangerous if you are an irrational idiot who dives without theory, training or safety.
Its a safe and beautiful sport that offers a lot of benefits for physical and mental health.
For some people and not for others. Wake-Induced Lucid Dreams can give you the same effects.
Wow is this national geographic or buzz feed?
Also using stolen images! AIDA never sells rights to their footage.
Or Adam's Deep Week footage ...
disrespectful to the sport for national geographic to upload this, they have no idea about the subject..
"flippers" 2:09
I don't believe in evolution I believe in God.
Well ur wrong
National Geographic, you're better than this! Poor quality fluff
ye they have a short life span,
Im a free diver
Wow i am in top 20 comments xd ☺️
Quite an achievement! Impressive even 👍
Absolutely, Azliana! We're glad you enjoyed the video.
@@NatGeo shut up and delete this dumb video
All the comments here are from free divers butthurt that other people are criticising their very dangerous and frankly stupid sport lmao.
He just says wrong information and it isnt dangerous with the right safety procedures
This guy obviously never dive 30 feet. A human can hold their breath up to 5 minutes do you reaching brother
4 minutes ago. Noice
That fin is cheating
Ai
There’s nothing inherently wrong (or stupid) about freediving. Take a class, never swim alone, don’t exceed your limits...and you’re GTG.
I'm not 1st
Not last
When your notification came back I will click itna fast my phone📱get blast
😂😂
Bor
One of my favorite programs , but frankly speaking i've never felt skin diving because there's no fun in it all what matters then is to stay alive i'd rather scuba dive and feel good :D
mm all those loud bubbles scaring all the fish away, so peaceful.
How is there no fun
👏 🌹🌹🙏
🇳🇵Hail Nepal !!!
Dislike
Waste of time, doesn't explain anything
Why do i love your videos
Wow.. decompression sickness in freediving? How is that even possible? One minute into the video.. So much misinformation. It hurts my eyes and ears. I wish I could give two thumbs down. Please do research and post a valid informative video about freediving
Can national geographic put a ❤ on my comment? Let's try
i Love National Geographic
