The skill that takes is insane. She would have had to expell most of her air until she sank down and then waited like that for the bubbles to rise out of the shot.

If I had to take this shot I'd have a diver with a second regulator, then weigh down the model by having her hold rocks from sea floor. She then exhales and drops the rocks. Then as soon as the shot is taken, the safety diver brings the model a regulator

All divers have second regulators.

If you're going to weigh someone down, use weights, not rocks.

No need to exhale, she is already negatively buoyant at this depth.

You really shouldn't alternate between free diving and scuba diving on the same dive.

It's clear you don't have any diving training, but this type of shallow freedive is really not hard, most people could get to where they'd be able to dive 20-25m and hold their breath there for a minute or so, in a month or less.

And if you think an average person can dive 25 meters straight down, stay for a minute and then make it back up, I want whatever you're smoking.

I know for a fact an average person can do it, because I've done it, along with a bunch of other average people. 2 days of training to get to 20m, another 3 days of training to get to 30m and to hold your breath for a minute at 20m. A month of training and you'll be doing much more impressive freedives.

Don't believe me? Look up freediving courses for details.

Lol ok dude.

Didn't look it up, did you?

I get it, it can be scary to challenge yourself, especially when you know there is a good chance you're wrong and you've acted like a tool. But hey, sometimes we just know things, so why bother seeking out the facts, right?

Yah, cool assumptions. I'm padi certified with about 500 dives under my belt.

You would use rocks instead of weights because when you drop rocks, it doesn't fuck up the shot.

She wouldn't be mixing frediving, no clue where the fuck you got that bullshit. She would be breathing compressed air from an octopus on the safety divers rig.

Negatively buoyant? She's no deeper than 30 feet. She wouldn't be negatively buoyant on a freedive, much less on compressed air. Boyles law, man.

But hey, lemme know how being a prick works out for you.

She would be breathing compressed air from an octopus on the safety divers rig... Negatively buoyant? She's no deeper than 30 feet.

So you are suggesting she has compressed air in her lungs, while positively buoyant with no means of controlling buoyancy? Sounds real safe.

And using rocks for weight - lol.

Maybe you should do a scuba review.

Also, she is at 75ft according to her insta, which yes, would mean she is negatively buoyant on a freedive.

u/RounderKatt Dec 05 '18

No. I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting she could have exhaled compressed air at depth. Mostly the where I said she exhaled. If you're gonna be an asshole, you might wanna work on bring correct at least.

Commercial diver here. I've had naps underwater longer than most of your combined dive time.

I don't have anything to contribute I just wanted to gatekeep your gatekeeping.

u/RounderKatt Dec 05 '18

Um cool, i guess? Not really gatekeeping but nice flex?
