    Discover the dream home of 9-time Freediving World Champion, Yasemin Dalkilic as she takes us to the Aquarius habitat, the world's oldest underwater laboratory. Aquarius has been home to 115 missions where Aquanauts, living and working from Aquarius, have made important scientific discoveries, but regardless, after 26 years of service, Aquarius is being closed down, a sad reminder that ocean conservation is not a top priority in today's world.
    Join Yasemin as she pays Aquarius one of its last visits and experience this amazing structure first hand!

    I just read the book deep, by James nestor... it talks all about Aquarius, Everybody! Aquarius is still functioning under the international university of Florida, it was negotiated and is functioning as from September 2013, if you don't believe me look it up. Please leave a like for this useful information (this video is outdated)

    This is a breathtakingly beautiful production Yasemin. Thank you so much. Your love of our creation is like a breath of fresh air, life giving! My heart is troubled however, at the idea that this structure would be disassembled after being there so long as to allow so many life forms to call it home. It would be a crime to take it away now. Do I understand that the underwater center may well be staying put? Please tell me it is so. I will Google for info on it now too.

    @PrestigeShots Před 10 lety

    Do you freedive into the air tanks as well(or observation tanks, that you swim under)? If so wouldn't you need decostop on the way up again?

  • @yasemindalkilic
    @yasemindalkilic Před 11 lety

    From the surface. When you are diving having taken the breath on the surface, you don't get the bends (except some extreme depth time scenarios). Bends is a much bigger risk when you breathe compressed air.

  • @markbarton6689
    @markbarton6689 Před 11 lety

    Awesome video! But i should make a slight correction. When this video was made the fate of the Aquarius had been decided. But thanks to other marine life enthusiasts and researchers who decided this magnificent piece of equipment could not be decommissioned, it is still in use! Dr. Jim Fourqurean of Florida International University has bought the Aquarius and taken it under his wing. It will stay in use for the foreseeable future!

  • @TheZacdes
    @TheZacdes Před 11 lety

    Yes, with no weight to equalize bouyancy, you have to work harder to stay down...in relatively shallow water! Go deep enough and as air is squeezed and compressed, you sink quite fast!! Same with tanks!!

  • @sharplikerazor
    @sharplikerazor Před 11 lety

    Are you free diving from the surface or from the station? Would you get the bends if you went to the surface on breath hold?

  • @skipauto
    @skipauto Před 10 lety

    This is great, considering the pressure on your body at that depth. Any ideas on how to equalize the pressure in and out of your ears?

    How much can you stay under water without air?

    • @theamazingdives
      @theamazingdives  Před 10 lety +9

      A bit over 6 minutes if I don't move. But the more i move the more oxygen I consume and less it becomes. Usually my dives are about 2:30 - 3 minutes.

    Have you heard of Mission 31? At least until that operation is done it wont be shutting down, and maybe there will be enough interest and credible data for the scientific community to warrant keeping it open. Lets hope, love to see footage from this place.

  • @briankim4412
    @briankim4412 Před 10 lety

    i do free diving too .... to hold ur breath longer u have to train ... such as breathing in with ur mouth for 10 sec and breath out for 5 sec with nose .. keep doing that and try to breath in to ur stomach , u have to breath in lots of oxygen as much as u can
