663 Foot Free Dive vs Bring Your Own Parking Place

Both of these videos are pretty amazing. The first is a video of free diver Guillaume Nery who jumped into the world's largest sinkhole and dove straight down 663 feet and came back up on one breath. Even more amazing is the person with the camera also shot the video on one breath. I can't even hold my breath long enough to touch the bottom of a kiddie pool.



The second video is the answer to when you keep circling the block but can't find a parking spot. You bring your own. Genius!

I am confused. I thought Nery's dive was approximately 370 feet deep (113 meters). It is insane, but no where near 663 feet. I don't think it is the record anymore, either. It's still crazy, though.

I wouldn't jump in that sinkhole if I had the proper scuba gear. No thanks! That guy has quite the backbone!

I love this lady with the parking spot! Unbelievable. I am both angry and impressed that she has managed to cheat the system.

That first vid reminds me of "Le Grand Bleu" - an amazing French movie from at least 10 years ago about depth divers without any equipment. Highly recommend.

RQ - and the main character was really hot, right? If it's the same movie I'm thinking of, it was more than 10 years ago, but it was AMAZING!
The diving video freaks me out, but the name "Dean's Blue Hole" makes me feel a bit better.

wow! that first video is insane!!!! I can't imagine what I would be thinking going down that big black hole. Also, they didn't SHOOT THE VIDEO IN ONE BREATH. I mean, it is several shots, so they had to do it multiple times. But I guess I get what Enty is saying.

That lady with the parking spot is insane.

I find that hard to believe, the pressue he would have faced would have had him blowing up

RocketQueen said...

@Harriet - that's the one. Absolutely AMAZING cinematography!

Had to go look it up. The hottie was Jean-Marc Barr. The movie was directed by Luc Besson and also starred Jean Reno and Rosanna Arquette.

RocketQueen said...

Yeah, when Jean Reno was even hot :)
Seriously - highly recommend everyone!

Enty, don't lie. That first video was taken in Paris Hilton's bathtub with her in it!!

Seriously though...it reminded me of my old acid-dropping/mushroom eating days...

OMG...the first video is what my nightmares are made of. That is crazy/amazing.

2nd video is hilarious....

God you guys are so gullible. The first video is fake. It even says so on the YouTube page it's on, although English isn't the primary language of the poster.

"This video is a FICTION and an ARTISTIC PROJECT"

Why is this even on CDAN?

jax said...

why are you? lol.

enty always does a post on interesting videos etc. sorry to ruin your day!

i think the parking spot is brilliant, and one should be issued with every handicapped parking placard (as one who has waited for the idiot who "only ran in for a second"). hell, i've been told that i can't be handicapped because of the car i drive!!
wait, i just went off-track again, didn't i?
