fantastic...awesome..unbelievable.
Watch that samba thing, ..please?

I wanna learn, but one little problema...I am afraid of dying. Looks like you had a great team of spotters. wow.
Finally some video with good music.
hey...I have that intertube..that's a start. And the long Cressi fins.
How long did it take for you to get "there?"
Your spotter did a fantastic job. A plus. Gave me goosebumps.

That's pretty cool!! I like the shot of the F1 at the end! It looked like he was descending so slowly at first!!
I like the soundtrack too- a liitle reminiscent of ... oh never mind...
I wonder if it's conicidence that they put his mask on his forehead when the "mild samba" title came up??? :)

What is samba?
Samba is some sort of black out/loss of consciousness. I think it looks more like a seizure.
Something interesting to try for the folks at home- hold your breathe while he is under...

I'm telling you guys...C4's are the way to go! The samba occurred when his head rocked slightly backward. The other vids are nice also.

Oh, Kurt's dive. :-)
I dove with him last year on Oahu - he is pretty cool guy and good diver.
BTW - his dive lasted 1:27 as his F1 shows.
And - some guys use swim goggles without liquid inside - but they make a tiny hole in them and then attach slim hose which they hold in mouth - so they can equalize while descending.
Samba is not loss of consciousness. It's also called LMC - loss of motoric control. Black out would follow or just happen in case you wouldn't take a breath in time.
