So how exactly does a person dive 202 METRES and then climb back up.... without air? Ehhh... irrespective of that wiki article, I'm having a hard time believing this :\ I mean it's one thing to dive 202 metres without air, but then to climb back up again? 404 metres of underwater travel without air?

That's WAY cool, but still just beyond the borders of my belief.

The deepest dive, according to WiKi is 120 metres (394 ft). I think this video is just a montage to look cool and it's definetely looks cool without bulky diver gear Smile

Ahh, I see. Thanks.

@_SiN_

Of course not, I was more referring to the wiki article about deep-diving .. but, idiotically, I only saw the total depth of the HOLE - and thought that was the supposed record of deep dive. Ooops.

There's no way in hell water operates like that from him jumping/diving like that.

Because it's a "viral" for Sony Ericsson (check out the neck area of his suit). There are divers all around him, and some of them probably have tanks where he breathes and takes a break before the next sequence etc.

Thank you

Love the avangarde / psychedelic noise parts and when some kind of flute + trumpet is playing. Reminds me of the awesome song during Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines character creation screen Smile
