Agreed. Wondering why this video ain't more popular. I can only think of the movie "Free Solo" as something equally astonishing.

s g -Truest form of freediving right here... just awesome.

@@jadatoav - speechless stunning！！

I started UWH in 2007 along with Minnesota (US) Loon team。

@@stwatertown Awesome. It's a great sport. I played a bit in the U.S, mostly in Connecticut and went to a comp in Montreal. Most of my playing experience was growing up in the U.K and then playing all over Australia. I played for the U.K and Australia at one time. To this day, I still do breath-hold training in the local swimming pool, but usually without fins. I have not played regularly for about 10 years now. Mainly because I live in an area where there are no teams. I do sometimes miss the sport though. It was my life for 20 years. I began at 16.

@@Justyburger - Canadian boys are very good, and I believe the UWH "game" was originated as a training project for "seals" and gradually popular among civilians late on. I love this game because it's a gentle game no body touch or rough play allowed

this UWH game may trace back to the UK, and some 'crazy' Russian guy did under-ice-hockey years ago.

@@stwatertown Yeah I love the game for that same reason. It's a game that older people can also play well. No heavy impact. Yeah I was always told that the British Navy started the game in the 1950's to keep their divers fit in the winter. Also there was another version of thegame started in South Africa, using longer sticks (more like grass hockey sticks). As time passed, the South African version, adopted the British stick standard and from there the games were merged. That's about as much as I know. I've never heard anything about a Russian, but it's interesting. My old coach Dave Simpson might know the story? I don't even know if he is still with us? He was quite an old guy when I was training under him. My last worlds was 2000 in Tasmania, so it's been a long time out of high level competition. I did get asked to play in 2006 for the U.K in Sheffield, but opted for a big European trip with my new Wife. I had a few games a couple of years back and it felt good. I was training well, so was fit enough, but my skills and teamplay was a bit rusty.

+Deez Nuts And suddenly, a barracuda appears

+Deez Nuts It is. But then you're trained, fit, and know your mind and body inside out, and you know you have the capacity to make it back up. Still it's a very mental sport; because there is no instant bail out option.

+Angela Torres SCUBA is describing diving using a breathing apparatus. William is doing breath-hold diving, also known as Freediving.

Angela Torres There is no free scuba diving. Only scuba diving or free diving. ;)

+My Fair Laydee You should never feel pain in your ears.. go down slower and equalize constantly while going down :) Practice helps. But if you really wanna learn it i'd recommend doing a course where you learn all the right techniques and risks (!). Stay safe and have fun :)

The _ Far _ Cry I used to swim around the perimeter of the local indoor pool underwater no fins. Here Trubridge totals 202 meters :) In the ocean with fins I dived to about 15 meters depth then along the bottom collecting scallops then back up. Unfortunately I eventually moved away from the ocean and no longer have that option.

@@dannygjk - with fins no air-tank I bottomed to 33feet, that was cold and scary without sunshine(ray) and I roughly seeing string rays swimming by. at USVI area.

No, y'all just crazy white people lol.

our brown people are even crazier

+Israels watchman no disrespect meant, i used to play semi-pro rugby league and i have a huge amount of respect for your countrymen, but ive always thought mallory made it to the summit of everest back in the 1920's.

Darkness Destroyer but do any of you have world breaking records in sports? No

no weight dragged him down: scuba.about.com/od/Freedivers/fl/Buoyancy-and-Freediving.htm and he didn't touch the rope when SWIMMING back up...

Sonny Obhan Nope, that category is constant weight, unassisted, no fins.

Sonny Obhan I strongly doubt you watched this video
