      The urge to take a breath after holding for a minute is only a feeling. With training you can learn to ignore that urge, ride out the convulsions and hold your breath/stay underwater for another good 2+ minutes (with little to no physical exertion obviously).

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it that you can't suffocate when you are on ground? (you will breath after some time, no matter what you do

      Well, maybe you could asphyxiate yourself by covering your mouth and nose with your hands... )

      [–]neoncp 5 points6 points ago

      I've heard you "pass out" and breath in your unconscious state before asphyxiation takes place. Just hearsay.

          It's actually easier to hold your breath underwater. Your body shuts down some processes to conserve oxygen when you are submerged.

          [–]Buffalkill 33 points34 points ago

          sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

          Yeah, in fact the record for breath holding underwater is around 19 minutes whereas the record on land is only around 10 minutes.

          This blew my mind.
          For those to lazy to read the article, here's what they say about why water helps.

          The next step is to plunge into a tank of water. That triggers a primitive, mammalian reaction called the diving reflex. When confronted with water, especially cold water, the body shunts circulation from the rest of the body to the heart and brain.

          The reflex, which even chickens have, probably helps babies survive the trip through the birth canal, Lundgren said. By lowering how much total oxygen the body is using, the diving reflex also allows people to hold their breaths for longer stretches.

              I sort of know how to swim, just not very well - extremely inefficient and I get tired.

              However I got in a serious accident a year and few back and I'm not sure how my body will react to it...

              Swimming is used a lot in physical therapy because the buoyancy of the water reduces the stress of gravity of your body. I don't know what your injuries were but ask your doctor about it. I learned how to swim in a few lessons at age 5. Step-by-step all things are easy. This is not a big commitment to acquire a fairly standard life skill.

                i've heard about that video

                someone care to tell me how he doesn't get bent?

                no equalisation on the way up OR down, didn't let out a single bubble of air.

                ED: edit due to stupid 'you are doing that too much'

                what about blown ear drums through not equalising? not having the correct pressures in the sinuses? he's just tough as i guess?

                He's not breathing compressed air. The air in his lungs was from the surface, and therefore the volume shrinks when he submerges, and increases when he rises, but it never compressed enough for nitrogen to enter the bloodstream, which is what causes the bends.

                tl;dr: You only get the bends breathing compressed air

                [–]Jadis 23 points24 points ago

                sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                That is incorrect. You get the bends from breathing air for awhile at a high pressure (IE: deep water). That's why people can get the bends even from breathing through tubes to the surface that have air being slowly pumped through them.

                The high pressure causes nitrogen in the air to dissolve in your bloodstream, and as you continue to breathe in more nitrogen, more of it is deposited around in your body (ie: joints). As you resurface, the nitrogen comes out of your fluids and if you don't ascend slow enough, it will form gas pockets and stuff in your body (the bends).

                You can sit here at the surface and breathe compressed air all day and you won't get the bends. Likewise, when a person does a deep/long dive like this on one breath, there isn't enough nitrogen in the air in that one breath to really cause any damage. It's the continual intake of nitrogen and its deposition throughout the body that will ultimately result in the bends.

                sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                Upvote for truthiness. Question though: how is he equalizing the air pockets in his goggles? My only guess is he's somehow able to use his tear ducts to put more air into the shrinking volume, otherwise his eyes/blood vessels would rupture. That seems too insane though, so I'm stumped.

                [–]AllTheKingsHorses 2 points3 points ago

                sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                You can't just run a hose to the surface and breathe through that, it doesn't work that way. That's the reason that SNUBA still uses a compressor. You have to be both breathing compressed air AND be at depth. Also even if you had a tube running to the surface that you could somehow breathe from at depth that wasn't compressed, the air would still get compressed as it entered your lungs due to the water pressure on your body.

                    It doesn't appear anyone who's replied to you so far has bothered to read the wiki page about these people. I posted this below:

                    Bajaus are also noted for their exceptional abilities in free-diving, with physical adaptations that enable them to see better and dive longer underwater. The Bajau often intentionally rupture their eardrums at an early age in order to facilitate diving and hunting at sea. Many older Bajau are therefore hard of hearing.

                                  Learn to snorkel. I just grabbed a bunch of crabs on the weekend in about 10 feet of water. In Canada, no less. You can also catch fish pretty easily using a net.

                                                  He's not hunting the fish, he's riding it. It's a new kind of water transportation. You grab a pole at a special pick-up area. It's attached to a special breed of fish that swims at about 20 knots (about 23MPH). When you're ready, you yell "Swim!" and the fish takes off like a freaking rocket. Scary at first, but a lot of fun. Send me your credit card number and social security number and I'll hook you up.

                                                        So move to whatever third world country this was taken in. It'll force you to lose weight AND survive on what you can hunt/catch yourself.

                                                        Aboriginal and Papua New Guinean fishing spears have two (or more) points in a fork at the end, sometimes with barbs on the inside. It's made for grabbing more than impaling, because the cross section of a fish from above is a tiny target. That's a direct hit, right behind the gills.

                                                        Like so. This looks like a two-legged spear, if you zoom in it looks like a pincher with forks on either side of the fish.
