Herbert Nitsch — nolimits Freediving World record
by Sarah Aniston
Filed under Sleep Apnea Videos
Herbert Nitsch has now held world records in all Freediving disciplines. After retiring from pool disciplines in 2005 he moved onto No Limits. His unique ability to think outside the norm lead him to invent the eqex. This is his 1st record using assisted equalisation. notanx does not encourage this type of freediving, our philosophy is relaxation and enjoyment rather than depth, but i have been asked to re-post this dive for Historic reasons… enjoy, Maybe come and give it a go safely With www.notanx.com.
please tell me YOUR NOT A DIVER,IF SO YOUR AN INCOMPETENT ONE,What about the nitrogen levels in the surface air?? and the accelorated absorbtion rates at depth and extended duration??dive deep and long enough and a free diver WILL get bent, do your homework before gobbing off until then stay out of the water before one of your mates has to drag your limp body onto the boat!!!!EDUCATE YOURSELVES PEOPLE
almost no one knows anything about free diving,
idiot
some people know nothing about free diving.
While free dive snorkeling in a river I indirectly discovered hyperventalating and some extended breath holds of nearly 2 minutes. My wife was totally freaking out. Then when I took some dive lessons I learned about the potential of blackouts with the hyperventilation technique. Scary.
If he’s smart enough to have a dive buddy…
There is a case of a british freedive, who got Benz, but the case was very extreme. He went down about 20 times in rapid succession. Don’t remember the depth, but the amount of nitrogen the his breathing air contained got pushed into the blood by repeated deep dives. So eventually you can get it, but its very difficult.
In the begining of the video, I thought that it might be easier to fill your lungs and get a bigger breath if your chest was out of the water?
I used to be able to hold my breath for almost two minutes. I tried while watching this vid, and i only made it to a min ten. These guys are awesome
please tell me your not a diver
bends is caused by excess nitrogen in your body expanding and forming bubbles in the blood, and that excess nitrogen is caused by BREATHING air at depth. they dont breath, they dont get excess nitrogen, they dont get bent. hence free divers can do dive after dive after dive
I started that swim one summer. I remember making 25m and being happy. Then I said lets see how far I can go. I went about 40m. I started doing it frequently in one week I was able to do the 50m. I was ecstatic. I kept pushing at the end of the summer I went about 70m. The heat and sheer knifing pain in my chest was unbearable in that swim. The next summer I finally made 1.5 laps and 3 or 4 meters. I was having to force air into my lungs like this guy is doing in the start of the video.
friend below 10 mts down water, everthing is going to sink because the little amount of air you have in your lungs gets pressurized, so whe your returning the efforts are worst because you got Diox in your blood and your lungs, but beeing a gas it expands anyway in your lungs bein this way a little bit helpful for you arraiving to the surface. On the other hand at that distance from the surface with only one breath, if you exhale, the needs for breathing are going to be worst
So your saying Scuba Diving isnt safe? Scuba Diving is one of the safest sports!
Free diving is ridiculous – the risk of the Benz is extremely high!
Also, the amount of Carbon Dioxide in your blood?!
Its insane!

Your the ridiculous one.
Is that what had happened? I never heard the full story but just looking at it I thought perhaps the currents were very strong or there wasn’t enough weight on the line. The way he’s ascending the balloon should be pulling towards the surface, the direction of the line, but it’s pulling across it. Still, very good that he was so calm under that pressure.
because he breath air from the surface and as he goes deeper the air in his lungs gets pressurized and when he comes back up it returns to the same pressure. unlike scuba diving
how do they not have to exhale on the way up
why would anyone want to do that?
yes it is dumbass
no its not dumbass
I beat my personal record today. 25m pool unassisted, no fins, 2 times. so 50m. I’m happy!
whats happened to the bends?
ignorant? Ha. Years in the diving industry and I’m ignorant? You are ridiculous
Ignorant
as long as you know what youre doing scuba diving is pretty safe
a lot safer than getting in your car and driving to work
amazing!
hey freediver mig i saw the video one doubt, did he use a oxygen mask till bottom of 183 mts,or did he take a deep breath on surface itself to go and come back?
