Us Slavs have nothing to live for so dieing doing something stupid is not that scary.

On a more serious note all of the old school divers I know think of diving to 100m on air as the pinacle of scuba and everyone wants to be good enough to do it. It's a opinion that is very prolific among a lot of eastern europeans.

How the hell does this happen and is there any source about the gear used on this dive? Is it some tech-level deep dives going astray, or do they really go down there with a single tank of air?
