Hold your Breath, The Ice Dive

[nimnarb]

Made me want to have a hot bath and how anyone in their right minds would want to do this is beyond me. Not sure if on Netflix UK. around a 40 min documentary about a woman in Finland who holds the world record under ice for 50 metres and now wants the men's world record, oh and she doesn't wear a wet suit.

William Trubridge, a British free-diving champ. Diving the arch of the Blue Hole in Dahab Egypt on just one breath; first time it was done. Many have tried, most (even on SCUBA) have died. There are some better quality and broader documentaries on it, but here's a taster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrXQbucZUDA&t=56s

To a SCUBA diver who has dived in Egypt a a lot incl the Blue Hole (just NO WAY considering doing the Arch), divers such as him are just off the scale in self-control. There's a point it's self-knowledge, very meditative, the longer you dive the more it gets like that; less what's out there, more what's in there, every dive checking in on it
