    He looks like a fucking superhero at 3:10 with lasers coming out of his eyes and shit. Just pickin' up some fresh lobster snack before he flies away and saves the world together with his reliable stingray and a speargun.

    So let me get this right.... this guy held his breath and went down to 80ft.... jumped on the back of a manta ray...rode it to this fantastic spear fishing spot... shot a large grouper then grabbed an 8lb lobster that happened to be near by. Okay...

      Marcus Watson If you condition your lungs you can hold your breath for up to 20 minutes. World record is about 22 minutes I believe. Avid divers could do 15 minutes easy.

    • @ritchiefigueroa8153
      @ritchiefigueroa8153 9 лет назад +6

      Wrong after 6 minutes without oxygen your considered brain dead the record is like 22 minutes by a magician but not many people can hold there breath longer than 6 minutes

    • @bryceallen9115
      @bryceallen9115 9 лет назад +6

      Just to clarify the guy that set the world record of 22 minutes spent around 6 minutes breathing in pure oxygen so his brain was fully saturated with it. Without that the record is impossible.

    • @49erjohn
      @49erjohn 9 лет назад +3

      Panzer Blitz You are a fucking idiot! First off vegetarians and vegans HAVE to take protein supplements to mirror the protein meat gives you. Secondly, yes, humans are indeed carnivores! Our genes were developed before the agricultural revolution, when we were not only meat eaters, but enthusiastic ones at that. On top of that, the human genome has changed less than 0.02% in the last 40,000 years. Our bodies were genetically programmed for optimal functioning on a diet including meat, and that programming has not changed. By nature, humans are meat eaters, and our bodies are designed for it. We have incisors for tearing meat, and molars for grinding it. If we were meant to subsist on vegetables alone, our digestive system would be similar to that of the cow, with four stomachs and the ability to ferment cellulose in order to break down plant material. The degenerative health conditions that are prevalent now weren’t around when the cavemen were living off meat, vegetables, fish, nuts, seeds, and fruits. In hunter/gatherer societies, 45-65% of energy requirements were derived from animal sources, and heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes - the diseases that plague society today - were not a problem. With the introduction of grains and processed foods, these diseases reared their ugly heads at alarming rates. People who don’t eat meat are especially vulnerable to neurotransmitter imbalances because of the absence of meat protein, which provides all of the essential amino acids human bodies need. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that regulate many of our functions, including physical, cognitive, and mental performance, as well as our sleep cycle, weight, and emotional states. Meat protein provides all of the essential amino acids human bodies need. People who don’t eat meat are especially vulnerable to neurotransmitter imbalances, which can result in problems like depression, anxiety, and hyperactivity. According to research conducted at the University of Graz, vegetarians are two to three times more likely than meat eaters to suffer from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and somatoform disorders and syndromes. We rely on prescribed medication to cure some of these conditions, when the answer may be as simple as eating a juicy hamburger or tender chicken breast.

    When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place...
    You made them (the men) rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet...
    The birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
    Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

    Oh my God! I love this video! Amazing video footage and also great catch. I just started my own freediving channel. Sadly spearfishing is not allowed in my country and also there are hardly anything to see down below. So freediving training videos and how to's is what i do.
    Cam, you are a star! :-)

    That is some amazing skill right there. to swim down 80' and calmly extract the spear and fish from the cave AND THEN snatch a crayfish on the way up... jedi moves.
