The best thing about diving is that there is nobody talking. Everything is calm and you can feel a certain magic under water. Its like deep meditation, you just observe the beauty of the now! Great Video!

It ain't no easy job, following somebody to the bottom of the canyon, dragging a full frame camera in the housing down and up, thumbs up for an effort, well done! 👏👏👏💙

It’s people like this that show us what we are capable of.

“The deeper you go, the slower your heart beats....”

Until finally, it’ll stop altogether.

I would've been out of breath just looking at the hole.

Thank you for putting it so concisely. There were times when I couldn’t express it, I only knew that when I was freediving regularly I never had depressive or anxious episodes, freediving was like therapy for me. Plus the fact that I had a really bad knee (just got it replaced) and I lived with pain on land, but under the water I could fly! The freedom was incredible. Speaking of which, I just finished my physical therapy for my knee replacement and I’m going freediving again ASAP!

I’ve been learning to free dive lately. My personal record is 1:10 at 20ft deep. It’s so calm that even when you’re out of breath, you don’t want to go up.

I love that every word of your video in this channel has a deeper meaning. Not only water and diving, but also - life, people. Yourself and personal growth. You are very inspiring. Love your channel

The fact that he’s not even wearing goggles 😳

this blows my mind, absolutely amazing and inspiring. It really emphasizes the "free" in "free diving"

[Archonch]

Loved to see the safety. It's such a nice part of the dive when you see your friend

This is the canyon in Dahab, very beautiful place. When i freediving in it, there was a big awesome green grouper swimming by my side. Thank you for the good mood!

after watching your video I could have gone through 26m dive at k26 - I kept thinking of your "I don't have a death wish, I have a depth wish" underwater hahah it became my mantra whenever I dive. Thank you so much for this beautiful video and thanks for the braveness!!🥳❤️

This is i think the most POWER foul message You can take from this video - The deeper You go, the slower Your heart beats, the calmer You are. This is the ultimate answer for life.

Thanks.

Dear Daan, how long my friend. I would like to thank you for your message a lot! Today I started my activities with a fast heart beating, with a lot of anxiety and some scare about the future after some news.
I saw this magnificent video and after that, I heard it again with my eyes closed and trying to support my feelings with your words... You know what? It works! Blesses over you.

When I was young, i could hold my breath for several minutes and dive quite deep, untill my ear popped and i almost died. My orientation was gone and didnt know what was up or down. I just saw the deep blue and sunlight everywhere. Then i saw the bubbles which came out of my ear and i started to follow them because they always go to the surface. That saved my life because i managed to get up right at time...since then I never dive again but i love the sea. I miss diving because i was always chilling at the bottom and had total piece down there.

i spent a whole summer when i was a teenager, everyday, freediving in the lake deeper and deeper longer and longer each time...and theres definitely something too it...and the kicker is, deep water (especially murky lake water) really freaks me out..no idea why i felt compelled to do it..but when youre down there its incredibly peaceful and euphoric...so much so you have to be careful not to stay too long to make sure you can make it back up
