So yall jut gon ignore the fact that this dude could break into a submarine.
@HUNter I don't think he can rip open steel with his bare hands.
Hahaha
Ain't no way a submarine is opening at the depths he is at. Way too much pressure.
Plants bomb lol
HUNter yeah cause thats not how it works
What about SnoopDogg, the highest man on earth?...
Bean Bo it’s a toss up between Snoop and Willie Nelson.
Snoop's not the highest by any means.
@@soulstorm8806 he mean highest like the highest person on earth like high from drugs
Sorry but there’s 420 likes nobody change that

"I was asleep, but they thought I blacked out..." what?
Ben Dol way too relaxed
Bruv he went so deep he hit the G spot

Also what??
Hans Frederik Lehmann he’s doing dives no one else has done before (said right before that time stamp), making each dive he’s doing a first for any human
He was napping bruh
I can also dive deeper than a 70 story scyscraper since a 70 story skyscraper can't dive as far as I know
Very clever That made me laugh, as corny as that is. I gave it a like lol!!
Philipp B I dont know wether your so arogent you dont realize it was just for conaprison or if your just stupid
Zachary mccleary it was a bad joke m8
leave Zachary to live his poor life without sense of humour ! I laugh so much :-D

Herbert: ........ myself.
Deeeeeeeeeeeep af
Lol 😂
Got that one spot on!🇺🇸🎶🌠🌻💜
"the problem is: I felt asleep 26 meters below the surface." Yes I can see how that's a problem.
Trained himself to have a controlled blackout and still be aware of the moment.

Candice Steele hehe that’s pretty deep
That is not even relevant to this guy's story. Please dont make fun of him its a real talent & serious workout he put on
HMMM
@@bloodbrothers1779 it's a special ability the rest of the humans don't have. There is no need to put serious workout for that ;).
OOOOHHHHH GOTEM
there are a few exceptional people on Earth who can do things no one else can aspire to, no matter what kind of training and effort they put in. He's one of those few for sure.
That is quite true, it takes a lot of training, not to speak of daring, and quite a few die attempting to set records too!
Just about any human can train to do whatever, the problem is not in the training, it is in the mind. Most humans do NOT have the mental strength to even wash their damn car...
Without the training, the mind could not follow! Some minds cannot even follow WITH training! And then there's those who apparently have a silent death wish! I just don't think too many people really care about a record that is going to be soon forgotten; who spends much time reading the Guinness Book, of Records? Only a few. It's probably not worth the huge chance of dying IF you have a life that's worth living and enjoying!
Without the mind, you can not train, let alone go to train.
I agree
"Okay, you literally almost went braindead, never deprive yourself of oxygen again"
"Yeah yeah, sure thing doc"
I know it’s just a joke, but that wasn’t his problem
Herbert could watch this entire video underwater and still have a spare 3 minutes before he needs to resurface
Lol...although actually being engaged in the video might make it hard to hold his breath that long. He has a completely blank mind to be able to hold his breath that long. When he said he fell asleep at 26m, that's because he's literally on the edge of that mental state the whole dive.
No wonder he fell asleep
"Breathing is overrated" 😂😂😂😂
I read this right when I saw this
The legend says he found chuck Norris playing cards with aquaman when he reached the bottom
lol
And Chuck won. Aquaman had only royal flush.
Don't lie, chuck norris was bullying aquaman not playing with him
Damn what year is it?

I use the exact same technique (packing) to get rid of hiccups when I dive too much into my beer.
I guess is something we athletes do.

@@meesalikeu underrated comment of the decade lol
@@meesalikeu no just you.
Lol .😂😂😂
No matter how deep you go the camera man will always go deeper.
Let's hope he doesn't sneeze or get the hiccups at the bottom.
urmaker Sneeze on all that dust at 800ft? LOL
You can sneeze from your own mucus or even a hair.... lol
urmaker you can’t with the pressure. Your body literally feels like it has 100 lbs on all sides
urmaker plus he has a mask so he won’t get the urge to sneeze
@@urmaker he's not breathing... What should trigger a snzeeze then? 😂
I can hold my breath comfortably for around 2 minutes and i thought i was good for that
The art of freediving is really just fighting past the "comfortable" part. At around 2 minutes most people want to start breathing again. Then you fight past the urge to breath you enter another sort of flat spot where everything is okay. Then you hit the wall where you will start to struggle again and must get air or black out. People used to hyperventilate because it sorts of extends the point at which you feel the urge to breath. However it actually decreases the total time you can hold your breath, and the point at which you will black out.
In short basically everything I learned in the 80's about free diving in now wrong. lol
To date, Herbert has achieved 33 official World Records across all freediving disciplines, and one world record in the traditional Greek discipline of Skandalopetra 107 m (351 ft). He surpassed his own No Limits depth with a dive in June 2012 to 253.2 meters (831 feet), suffering injury in the process.
Nitsch holds the No-Limits record, the title of "Deepest man on Earth" in which the diver can make use of a weighted sled to descend as far as possible and uses an air-filled balloon to return to the surface. Nitsch set the world record in Spetses, Greece in June 2007 when he descended to 214 m (702 ft), beating his own record of 183 m (600 ft) set the previous year, coached by Marcus Greatwood.
He also held the world record in the Constant Weight event, which is considered by many to be the classic free-diving discipline: the diver descends next to a line, not using the line and unaided by a sled, and must maintain a constant weight, meaning that no weight can be dropped for the return to the surface.
Nitsch exceeded the then world record in 2006 when he dived to a depth of 110 m (361 ft), but failure to complete the strict surfacing protocols within the allotted time meant that the dive was disqualified.
In Hurghada, Egypt, in December 2006 he did a Constant Weight World Record dive of 111 m (364 ft), adding 2 m on top of Guillaume Néry's previous record, this was his first record coached by Marcus Greatwood.
Ok? Nobody cares.
thanks for those explenations
when he talks about the doctors telling him not to dive ever again... yet he doesn't listen. The amount of passion in his voice when he is describing getting back to the ocean and swimming again... that is real love!!!! awesome.
I wonder how many times he has seen Adele rolling down there.
This comment is underrated😂😂😂😂😂
*This man can go 830 feet when I can't even go 8 feet.*
How much meters it is?
@@PerfectSoldieR96
830 feet = 253 meters
8 feet = 2.5 meters

Amazing! This video and production will surely invite and motivate more divers to push limits. I love this! Salute to you Herbert!
Major respect to this man. The love he has for what he does is truly beautiful. Truly a GOAT!
I just came from watching the No Limit Netflix show and googled the current record holder. Simply amazed!
I just came here after watching "The Deepest Breath" on Netflix! I'm fascinated with watching free diving.
so great to discover things like this on youtube
Amazing! A testament to our world and existence above all measures. Great work to the whole crew as well👏
So we gonna ignore how he took a nap in the ocean after setting a world record and lived
Thanks for the memories Herbert 🙋🐳
Superhuman..That IS impressive!
Just to clear up a few things that this discovery channel-esque video tells you, it is INCREDIBLY hard to get the bends while freediving, and simply doesn’t happen to beginners or even advanced divers. Pros only.
Herbert Nitsch goes far far deeper than regular divers, hence he needs to have safety stops on his comp and training dives.
And though he’s an incredible dude, and one of my freediving heros, he’s also not seen as the best freediver in the world. Yes, he has gone waaaay deeper than anyone else just with the air in his lungs, but he does this in a discipline called “No Limits” which means he gets dragged up and down by a metal sled (like an elevator). He’s the best at this discipline but it’s outdated and discontinued because it’s more dangerous and far from “free”diving. The two recognised worlds best freedivers are Alexey Molchanov and William Trubridge. Maybe it’s just Alexey now. They propel themselves down and back up again only with their body (though get to only around 300-400ft).
I don’t want to shit talk Nitsch, he is one of the greatest. I want to shit talk this misleading sensationalised “documentary”- all the same, I’m glad it’s been made.
Anyone can try hold there breath in a pool as long as they can. Going down deeper and faster is alot more dangerous so give that man a bells.
William Trubridge lives here in Hawkes Bay. Hello and Kia ora from New Zealand
I was under the impression you can't get the bends when free diving because there is no nitrogen buildup. You can only get nitrogen buildup if you breathe from an aqualung. Nitrogen in his body was inhaled at the surface so at surface pressure. Only way this could have happened was if he was breathing from an aqualung underwater or am I wrong?
@@joe-jg4bh Not the case. It's rare, and anyone who isn't an advanced freediver shouldn't need to know, but deep freediving compresses the nitrogen particles more than regular scuba diving. The only difference is that freedivers come up before nitrogen is accumulated in the tissues, and breathe it out. Pressure and time are what makes nitrogen build up in places your body isn't supposed to have gases.
Imagine a zoo. There's some monkeys (nitrogen) in a cage (lungs) behind bars (cell membrane). They can come in and out of a door at the back (breathing), but they can't get to where you are looking at them (inside the cell). Now imagine that a few friendly zookeepers (pressure) comes along and they get smaller, and sometimes they can fit through the bars in their cage. Now, some of the monkeys are in your space, and that's okay, because these monkeys are great, and the zookeepers are keeping them calm. On a hookah or aqualung, that door at the back of their cage is open, and they keep coming in. While freediving, the door at the back is closed, but there's still a few of these monkeys about.
Now, you just told all the zookeepers that you want them out of there in a hurry (ascending, losing pressure). They get rid of the monkeys they can, but there's some left. Now there's no one to keep the monkeys calm, and get them back in to their cage now, and they start going nuts, they're really big and angry and they're beating you up (You're on the surface and very sick.)
That's how decompression sickness, aka the bends, works.
Why don't you dick heads just ask the horse?
One of the most amazing things and persons I have ever seen! So inspirational!!!

A+ superhuman you're back in your element that's fantastic. God bless you
I snorkel regularly at a place with loads of international freedivers the with fancy gear and prep. A local fisherman with two bit of plywood on his feet went down waay deep. Legend!
where's that?
you don't need much gear to freedive innit
The Legend! Great that he recovered after his massive accident...
Thank you. 😊
Appreciations
A high risk activity is called "high risk" for a reason. It will kill you eventually. But there is more to life than simply living out one's years... and this man has truly lived.
One of the more pointless activities..up there with free climbing.
Not pointless. It's beautiful. I only go to a depth of 6 feet in the swimming pool but it's beautiful down there. I'd like to stay down there but I don't have gills. I'm 72 and don't plan on pushing the limits. It's fun, that's enough for me.
Furthest i can go under is 10 without dying for air
This is not high risk. It’s high consequence, learn to differentiate you swine.
Gene Kelly says the unathletic sad old bitch
Wow. Aside from being the best free diver, I think this guy is also my doctor, and apparently he is also a police man, a fireman, and an astronaut.
I didn’t know this was possible. Absolutely amazing
Thank you.
People are always like, “ReTuRn To MoNkE”
But we should actually return to fishe
I remember two things: you have to have a real knowledge of your body and your mind before you venture so far! I will stay between 15 and 20 meters!
that's the best depth anyway, below it gets murky and cold :P
Right you are, and one other thing -- be willing to risk your life!! (But the danger is at depths more than 45- 60 feet!)
@@MJLeger-yj1ww is that true? I've been asking so many free divers about this question how many Dives can you do in a day and how deep can you go where you will have no decompression sickness
@@tlpoutdoorsman Everyone's tolerance is different. You can dive all day long in water that isn't very deep and you can change tank after tank BUT, it doesn't pay to get tired to the point you will make mistakes, even in shallow water. The depth you can go also depends on your own body. So the answer can be different for different people. As for safety, read the research on SCUBA diving and you will learn the safety limits and features that are necessary. One important thing, learn from a qualified instructor who doesn't take chances and who has an excellent record. Experience and training can make all the difference in the world!
@@MJLeger-yj1ww thank you
thanks, lovely
What an incredible, beautiful man. Cheers to him!
His talents/skills are amazing, I find that his ability to remain calm is more amazing though, Trying to achieve a world record or die, not alot of records like that.
legend has it right before you drown a very calm relaxed sensation comes over you.. it's almost the same feeling you get while your sleeping or right before you fall asleep..
I don't think it's just legend, Matthew, there is some scientific evidence to prove those sensations do occur before you die -- maybe it's your brain telling you to go ahead and die peacefully! (They've asked people who died and were brought back to life with CPR, O2 and electric shock to the heart, and that's what they've reported.) I haven't seen exactly that while working in the ER and I don't really want to see it or test it! We've resuscitated people who have flat-lined, but none have told us about that sensation. I think it may have something to do with HOW you nearly die!
You panic because your whole life , your legacy, your responsibilities flash before you. Once you come to peace with everything you sleep. Death/ sleep will flee from everybody until you've observed all you should.
Well, that's not necessarily true, however, it's a nice thought of resolution, but it doesn't add up when the young die, who are far from "observing all you should!"
Thank you for taking the free diving opportunity serious.
Inspiration for sure!
Truly amazing what the human body is capable of.
9 minutes????? I can barely hold my breath long enough to get my hair wet in the shower without panicking 🤔😢😆💀

Huge Respect on Herbert !!
He came back and followed his heart & passion !
By the way , ...it's interesting to see that there are 53 people who have ZERO clue about all this, and disliked this greater video.
I would like to have a conversation with them to understand their negative critic's....

This is literally breathtaking👍
The Badjaos, a sea-people tribe, have been free diving for centuries. They walk on sea floors too. No gears. But this man is just as amazing .
Yeah, I always wonder if the Bajaus are properly trained, can they easily break this world record? I once witnessed this a Bajau in Sabah, Borneo helped my brother to recover his gun which he accidentally dropped into the sea at night! A Bajau equipped with a self-made goggle and without the use of any flashlight just dived in and managed to retrieve the gun! It felt like more than 3 minutes to me since we didn't actually time how long he dived!
Simply amazing human. The one, true Aquaman, if ever there was one.
I'm living to see that
Herbert goes so deep the ocean dives around him. SAINT HERBERT NICSH
Watching this gave me asthma
Most amazing to me is that they say he holds 33 world records in a sport that only has 8 disciplines! What sorcery is this!?
Christoph Thade
It also helps that only 9 people do it and 4 of them are dead already.
They definitely worded it wrong. He broke world records 32 times in 8 official disciplines, most of them his own, but only 1 still stands.
Wow... amazing, first time hearing of and seeing him, good stuff.
Big man, big friend mi viejo amigo hermano del mar. GRANDE I hope to see you soon
Amazing
and i go 6m in a pool and start to feel pain in my ears cant imagine 252m.
because you must equalize
Careful, you can easily damage your ears at that depth if you don't equalize. Luckily, equalization is easy!
Yeah. Equalize. You should do it every 1-2 metres usually. Regularity depends on each person but everyone has to do it.
It also depends on how deep you are. The deeper you are, the less frequently you have to equalize.
How do you equalize?
Wow, totally impressed.
the bubbles from the scuba diving cameraman at the end behind the boat is gold😂😂

Ash instinct or training, probably.
Mamal reflex or somethig like that

I don't think he meant it literally.
Quando la natura decide di divertirsi, crea combinazioni genetiche e cellulari che portano alla creazione di esseri unici come Herbert Nitsch. E' stato capace di risalire da 250 metri, ma più di ogni altra cosa di risalire dall'abisso mentale dove era precipitato in seguito al suo incidente. Ogni volta che lo rivedo resto senza parole. Uno spettacolo meraviglioso......
