I really love your videos. I have been following your channel for about two years I guess now, and your diving, the camerawork, the destinations as well as the great music always let me come back. Thanks so much for it. Keep 'em coming...
this was really powerful to watch... left me with a strange feeling. as you showed us the sheer height of the cliff and the vast remoteness of the ocean surrounding the island, all i could do was empathise with the thoughts going through the minds of japanese committing suicide. they must have felt such strong regret, or perhaps not as the japanese hold strong the idea of life being a fleeting moment, short-lived and temporary, the old japanese perception of death is greatly different to ours (in the west). Thanks for a great video @Freediver HD
Another great video... I honestly think I've learned more from you about WW1 & WW2 history and Americas involvement. Than I learned in high school and I was born & raised in the U.S.A. Again great work!!!
+Freediver HD Very good videos of Micronesia and other locations as well!! Been studying some of them more than others since I'll be going to the Philippines and Palau, Yap, Guam, Saipan and Chuuk in Dec-Jan for six weeks. Maybe Chuuk could be a future destination of yours? :)
Are their a lot of shallower wrecks? I plan on visiting here within the next year. I'm a great scuba diver but my free diving is subpar. maybe 10 meters at the most.
Welcome man. My fin model is a 2011 model C4 Falcon. This model is already discontinued, the current Flacons for sale very very different. The closest fin C4 offers to what im using now is the Martin Stepanic model, as it has the same dimensions. However is it grossly over priced. Another fin with similar dimensions would be the C4 Skorpio Flame, similar dimensions, but with a slighly different cut.
great video. nice editing, footage and information. P.s. I am relatively new to freediving and when I equalize I sometimes hear like a high pitched air leaking sound. Is that normal ? good? bad?
hey, freediver ive been scuba diving a bit and im loooking to start a little bit of free diving. ive practiced holding my breath. ive also watch your vids on breath hold. But, i keep having to breathe at 1 min. do you have any ways of extending it to 2 min
Are you making a new video anywhere different then Saipan? Don't get me wrong I love your Saipan videos but I really loved your old videos of you just freediving in new and exotic places.
I will always be diving world wide! For now Saipan is convienent, and its interesting to me, so I have been making these vidos. I will dive world wide, but I need to start planning my finances a little better, cause spending $2500 on a diving trip to some far place, and then earning back $25 on youtube will drive me into bankrupsy. The long term goal of the channel is to be world wide so stay tuned to this channel, there will always be something happening on my channel.
+Freediver HD thanks for the update! I've been with you since the Yonagi pyramid and I haven't been disappointed by your channel yet so I don't plant on leaving anytime soon, can't wait to see what you have planned next! Keep up the good work
I've just come back from the Marianas, Guam, Saipan, Tinian and Rota. Flights from the UK to Manila and on to the Islands cost me around £1100 + the cost of hotels and car hire, so total around £2000. A lot of money but what price do you put on experience and seeing history? Well worth every penny.
When travelling with an airline, do you check in your fins, or carry as a hand luggage? If you carry on, how do you get by the ground staff as it's longer than the maximum length of what's allowed? Thanks!
Both, depends how im feeling. No ground staff ever gave me any issue. If you want to be double sure, just ask the lady when ur checking in if ur should check ur fins, of if can carry on.
My fins are 2011 model - they are not in production anymore, so i think your going to need to find a different brand or fin. The C4 skorpio is the most similar one to what I am currently using, and I think its still in production, but personally i havent used it. My fin is a 19.5cm width, so that is something to look for if u want something close to what I am using currently.
if you do a lot of rocky shore dives, plastic fins hold up a lot better, something like a cressie gara professional. For the type of dives you mostly see in this channel, plastics are a bit better. If you planning to do those really deep competition or training type dives, where its all about going up and down a rope for depth, carbon would be a bit more efficient.... though its very hard to measure the real efficiceny gain.
Great Channel! I watched a lot of your videos, it helped a lot, thanks. But i need your help. My Question is: when im about to do my last breaths before diving down, im laying on the water surface faced down to the ground, i always sink down when im breathing out and water gets in my snorkel...how do you keep your body on the water surface while breathing out?
Yo. They are 2011 model C4 Falcons. The are not in production anymore - however the current C4 Falcon is similar though not quite the same, and also the Skopio DNA is very similar. The important features is that is will fit the Omer Stingray pocket, and its 19cm wide. If I was buying again to replace my current fins, i would get either one of those 2 models in the medium stiffness.
Awesome video!!! One thing I noticed on the monument it is written in Korean "for the Korean victim" evidence of how Japanese enslaved innocent people to fight for their war against USA.
Are you equalising? When you dive down the air in your ears gets compressed. You have to blow more air in by blocking your nose and blowing gently into your ears to equalise them.
I need total control, freedom, and no "dive master" micromanaging me, telling me when my time is up, and telling me what I can or cannot do. I need total creative freedom. Also my travel expenses are already so high, and my income very low, so I cannot be handing out my cash to them to
Pretty dark events, makes you wonder how a whole society could share values that today we find totally alien and whether some day people will think the same way about the things we have done.
That's a informative and nice video. Thanks. But i believe that some koreans who was there becuase of tragic history of Japanese invasion also chose suicide. As i know there is a memorial monument underthe water.
I need freedom. Total control. I dont want to be under somebodies supervision. I dont want to be a liability to them. I dont want them telling me what is safe and ok to do and what is not. I dont want to be a paying customer in a group and get taken diving like common tourist. Besides that, these dive companies and small islands are all in syndicate fixing the prices - they are all corroborating with each other.
Banzai Cliff is a jump into the ocean, folowed by getting slammed by the waves into the rocks and drown, this is 1940's i doubt many could swim well. As for suicide cliff, thats definitly tall enough, its quite scary looking over the edge. Check out these places on wikipedia for more info.
You can hold your breath well within just 1 day - not real training required - whats most important when getting started is just applying the basic skills. Once you know how to do that, its easy to get 3 or 4 minutues, even without training.
I really love your videos. I have been following your channel for about two years I guess now, and your diving, the camerawork, the destinations as well as the great music always let me come back. Thanks so much for it. Keep 'em coming...
9:24 that was my grandfather on the right, he was in the 4th marine division. After saipan he fought on in Tinian and then finally Iwo Jima.
Tinian in next video
+Freediver HD Thank you! this is almost like a salute and tribute to my grandfather
Hardly..
That's amazing
Hey Dean. I really love how you are building the story using historical footage and information.
Thanks for all your support and positive feeback this year!
This is a complex video - its much more than just freediving - Try watch the whole vid - or come back to the video when you have time.
thank you what is in fact better tributes than something on the History Channel or broadcast television. Luuuuvvvvvvvvvvv Uuuuuuuuu!!
AMAZING VIDEO I CAN COUNT ON U FOR A GOOD VIDEO👏
Hello buddy, are you using a GoPRo? Which one? Cause the video quality is very nice
Awesome video, great production!! Really enjoying this serie!!!
I like this new kind of quality to your video. Thank you for the extra effort, keep it up mate!
Every time I watch you freediving, I see how amazing the freediving is, thanks for doing it and inspire me!!
this was really powerful to watch... left me with a strange feeling. as you showed us the sheer height of the cliff and the vast remoteness of the ocean surrounding the island, all i could do was empathise with the thoughts going through the minds of japanese committing suicide. they must have felt such strong regret, or perhaps not as the japanese hold strong the idea of life being a fleeting moment, short-lived and temporary, the old japanese perception of death is greatly different to ours (in the west).
Thanks for a great video @Freediver HD
It is like a whole documentary! Great work and a lot of effort I see.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the perfect quality
Excellent content! Keep up!
Great Video as always :)! I love the color of the sea in saipan:)
Very interesting and the water was very clear. I always look forward to the latest video from your.
Great video. So far my favorite video you have done. I would like to know more about your views on using the dive companies.
thanks to your videos, I'm slowly transitioning to being a free diver :) thank you for showing us a whole new world.
All the best with your diving Haniza
Production values are very good, Dean! Well done.
Another great video... I honestly think I've learned more from you about WW1 & WW2 history and Americas involvement. Than I learned in high school and I was born & raised in the U.S.A. Again great work!!!
Great video , interesting Banzai Cliff with drone :)
Masterpiece!
waiting for the next video man, (:
Dean, could you explain, why are you hate to use dive companies?
Great video mate!

+Freediver HD Very good videos of Micronesia and other locations as well!! Been studying some of them more than others since I'll be going to the Philippines and Palau, Yap, Guam, Saipan and Chuuk in Dec-Jan for six weeks. Maybe Chuuk could be a future destination of yours? :)
what kind of camera? i love your dives
Are their a lot of shallower wrecks? I plan on visiting here within the next year. I'm a great scuba diver but my free diving is subpar. maybe 10 meters at the most.
Very nice videos you Are great i love Your videos because of you i am also a freediver now
Hey man I just subscribed and love your channel I would just like to know what type of fins you use.
Thanks!
Welcome man. My fin model is a 2011 model C4 Falcon. This model is already discontinued, the current Flacons for sale very very different.

+Freediver HD cool thank you so much!
Hello buddy, are u using GoPro? Which one? Because you're video is very awesome.
Thanks, its Hero 4 Silver.
Whats the name of the ssong. Cortana and Shazam aren't find it. Great Video and amazing place.
great video. nice editing, footage and information. P.s. I am relatively new to freediving and when I equalize I sometimes hear like a high pitched air leaking sound. Is that normal ? good? bad?
normal! air underpressure passing through tight tubes inside your head makes funny noises.
ok thank you
hey, freediver ive been scuba diving a bit and im loooking to start a little bit of free diving. ive practiced holding my breath. ive also watch your vids on breath hold. But, i keep having to breathe at 1 min. do you have any ways of extending it to 2 min
awesome bro!
Love your videos, but I have to ask how you can go to all these places such as Guam, Israel, etc.
Are you making a new video anywhere different then Saipan? Don't get me wrong I love your Saipan videos but I really loved your old videos of you just freediving in new and exotic places.
I will always be diving world wide! For now Saipan is convienent, and its interesting to me, so I have been making these vidos.

Hayden Moore Thanks for all the support Hayden
Where did you learn how to freedive?
WA Saipan is a beautiful place... Hi what camera did u use? Just gopro hero 4 ? Sry my English s bad
Its Hero 4 Silver
It's nice when you writing depths and temperature degrees
so does anyone know the song that plays during the dive and the shots of the suicide cliff
Are flights to these locations expensive?
yeah, costs me about $1000 just to get here.... nevermind the hotels and car rental etc are also expensive on these islands.
I've just come back from the Marianas, Guam, Saipan, Tinian and Rota. Flights from the UK to Manila and on to the Islands cost me around £1100 + the cost of hotels and car hire, so total around £2000. A lot of money but what price do you put on experience and seeing history? Well worth every penny.
What brand and model mask do you have?
aqualung sphera
When's the next video coming?
Monday or tuesday!
Does anyone know the background music during the dive ?
When's the vid about u not liking dive companies coming :)
When travelling with an airline, do you check in your fins, or carry as a hand luggage? If you carry on, how do you get by the ground staff as it's longer than the maximum length of what's allowed?
Thanks!
Both, depends how im feeling. No ground staff ever gave me any issue. If you want to be double sure, just ask the lady when ur checking in if ur should check ur fins, of if can carry on.
Once I was forced to pay fine for my fins, so now, I always check them in
I wonder where he is now. Used to watch hos videos years ago
hey man!can i ask you a question?how long did it take for your breathe hold to improve?i mean the span of minutes you can stay underwater?
wow. awesome!
After a dive, how long do you then rest on the surface until your next dive ??
Advice varies depending on the situation and who you talk to . I think double your last dive time is OK for most common situations.
+Freediver HD thanks man
Your videos are sick... You have inspired me to transition from scuba diving to free diving. I'm looking for the exact same fins you have now, thanks
My fins are 2011 model - they are not in production anymore, so i think your going to need to find a different brand or fin. The C4 skorpio is the most similar one to what I am currently using, and I think its still in production, but personally i havent used it. My fin is a 19.5cm width, so that is something to look for if u want something close to what I am using currently.
Freediver HD do you suggest that I start with a carbon fin or should I go with a mid level fin?
if you do a lot of rocky shore dives, plastic fins hold up a lot better, something like a cressie gara professional. For the type of dives you mostly see in this channel, plastics are a bit better. If you planning to do those really deep competition or training type dives, where its all about going up and down a rope for depth, carbon would be a bit more efficient.... though its very hard to measure the real efficiceny gain.
i wonder if the planes can free dive
Wider Wunderschönes Video!!
Sir are you ok? It has been a while since the last video..
Sorry for the delay... I had been busy these last couple weekends so didnt so much editing. I will have the new video up next week monday or tuesday
That's wonderful, keep it up and.. be careful
Great Channel! I watched a lot of your videos, it helped a lot, thanks. But i need your help.

Amazing video, what is the music you used ? It really added depth and emotion to the video
Awesome video!!! One thing I noticed on the monument it is written in Korean "for the Korean victim" evidence of how Japanese enslaved innocent people to fight for their war against USA.
I meant to put this comment on part 4 of your video
every time when i freedive like 2 meters my ears start to hurt me . why ? is there is anything i can do ??
Are you equalising? When you dive down the air in your ears gets compressed. You have to blow more air in by blocking your nose and blowing gently into your ears to equalise them.
Have you played Subnautica?
Bro, he LIVES Subnautica.
I miss Saipan soooooooo much 😢
I used too live there
Природа красивая!
Why do you hate using dive companies? Interesting.
I need total control, freedom, and no "dive master" micromanaging me, telling me when my time is up, and telling me what I can or cannot do. I need total creative freedom. Also my travel expenses are already so high, and my income very low, so I cannot be handing out my cash to them to
Same here, but hope you're at least responsible with reef and animals. But yeah, freediving does not need divemasters.
Pretty dark events, makes you wonder how a whole society could share values that today we find totally alien and whether some day people will think the same way about the things we have done.
if you like the clear waters and beauty sea you sould visit greece it s the most beautifull country i have ever seen
Hi FD
Did you read my private message yet?
Hi Movie studio - I just saw it ! I never knew yt had private message!. Im taking action now, check out the channel in a few minutues
That's a informative and nice video. Thanks. But i believe that some koreans who was there becuase of tragic history of Japanese invasion also chose suicide. As i know there is a memorial monument underthe water.
Why don't you like using dive companies ?
I need freedom. Total control. I dont want to be under somebodies supervision. I dont want to be a liability to them. I dont want them telling me what is safe and ok to do and what is not.

D-D-D-DEMONETIZED!!!!!!!!! TH-cam's logic is so stupid.... Nice video bro.
sry for my bad english
That's where we'd bring our Japanese customers to. And swim with them
Flat horizon ,!
3rd!
is it really certain death after jumping off this cliff? Doesn't seem that high tbh.
Banzai Cliff is a jump into the ocean, folowed by getting slammed by the waves into the rocks and drown, this is 1940's i doubt many could swim well. As for suicide cliff, thats definitly tall enough, its quite scary looking over the edge. Check out these places on wikipedia for more info.
