In sabnautica: you can dive 1km underwater with just seaglide, rebreather and three O2 tanks. Irl: to dive 100m deep you'll have to use heliox, pressured chamber, lots of equipment and decompress for several days afterwards.
Some people are just not that scared of the deep sea, we have a little bit different fears just as we have different tastes, I'm not very brave but honestly I would do that dive even for free. But I would never in my life jump with a parachute or play with a domesticated bear. I'm watching this and my brain is like: that looks very peaceful (xD)
@@arcticflower1760 idk, the deep abyss terrifies me. im so excited to go skydiving next month at 23 for my first time. i completely understand the bear situation lmao, but i see it as just as these sat divers rely on their equipment for survival to work in these conditions, its okay for then to 100% rely in it. thats bc their equipment is state if the art & reliable, hell even their backups have backups. same for sky diving, not many failures due to the state of the art equipment & reliability as well. i love diving for fun around SHALLOW reefs (
