Thank you so much for sharing this and saving lives! I survived a shallow water blackout then sank 65'. Even when told to stop my buddy didn't stop CPR until medics arrived. I went on to get married, have 4 children and a grandson! :) I also went on to have a 32-year-long career in Policing where I was able to help others. Spread the word!!! Jonathan, Hawaii

Christian Wodey :- Shallow water black out causes when you try to stop your breath for a longer time. It is very dangerous.
Also Christian Wodey :-stays underwater for 3 mins 30 seconds approx.

When I was about 6 or 7 I thought it would be a good idea to hold my breath underwater in a warm public pool. I started to feel that euphoric feeling and I went into a fettle position and I’m pretty sure I passed out. AM I

Watching you hold your breath for 3 minutes gave me anxiety I can’t imagine drowning myself

[osaskul]

You just made me more scared of swimming 😪

[ScubaShark--]

I never breath when I swim, I mostly hold them whole I swim. Idk how to breath while swimming.

What’s it like passing out? I just can’t comprehend it

[shinpai]

I noticed something as he swim down the water that his short trouser turned blue from red. It's like litmus paper react with base😅😅

I can’t believe this dude held his breath for this long. That is insane. . I probably couldn’t even hold it for a minute. :

I don't understand the logic explained at the beginning. What's wrong with hyper ventilating? It definitely changes your O2 vs CO2 balance/ratio right? Gives you more oxygen, enough to supply your organism until your movements produce too much CO2 and you are forced to breathe, to compensate with new oxygen because the one you had, is already gone, you spent it already.

A sequence of repetitive deep breaths does increase the quantity of O2 in your blood. Am I wrong? You can even pass out by that O2 rush xD (like the guys from Yes Theory on Wim Hof) That's why you are forced to breathe deeper and faster the more you demand from your muscles when doing exercise. They make so much CO2 that your body forces you to take more oxygen in.

The guy in the video is a legend. Much respect. Over 3 minutes and even doing a backflip underwater on the pool floor hahah

Him talking: me : keeps on questioning how he holds his breath that long

[nypzzgdh]

but how to increase our holding if we shouldnt do it too long

[mrrocket]

That's scary to think of I hope that does not happen to me

[ReniTube]

If only I found your channel when I wanted to be a mermaid 😩☝🏿

1:44 How do i know if i feel empowered/euphoric by holding my breath too long, or from reaching a personal breath holding goal :|

So today I decided to jump in head first into my local pool(aiming fotr the bottom of a 3 meter pool) Something strange happened my head started buzzing and my vision went all I can remember is my vision going from BRIGHT WHITE TO BLACK AND THEN BACK TO WHITE and then back then I was fighting to get back out the water.Im not sure what happened but if yout diving you need to know what the hell your are doing.

[rainmonzon]

Can you teach me how to swim again i can't swim?

[Fred_Klingon]

I wasn't aware of this, I'm not a pro diver, but I like to go o underwater in the summer.
Something that I really like about it is the peace down there. Sometimes i felt like I didn't need ti breathe and stayed down much more than usual... I felt even more relaxed.
Is that how you can blackout?

....the water where I dive is at least 15m deep, if a blackout would happen to me, I'll easily end on the bottom withiut anybody noticing for sure
