Everything was cool... but the snorkel.
It's such a drag.

Lam Wai Ting - 7 years ago

Where can I do it? (I am a skydiver and PADI instructor)

Fernando Beletini - 7 years ago

man, don't forget the parachutes under the water... not very eco :)

MtlFrancesca - 7 years ago

Wait, is this a thing? Can I sign up for this? I'm a certified diver and will be a licenced skydiver in a couple weeks! This is legit #lifegoals!

Tropical North Queensland #exploreTNQ - 7 years ago

It's pretty epic.. but you definitely need to know someone who knows someone to do it. You can skydive over the Great Barrier Reef in Mission Beach though ✈️

That footage is not continuous. I guess it was shot in two stages, skydiving till touching the water, then surface to diving equipment.
But still a great idea.

So basically this guy is seeing what it is like to be a Navy SEAL but without the getting shot at and/or killing someone else part?

Ohm Zen - 10 years ago

meh.. would have been more impressive if it was not edited. Not to mention the air pressure difference from high altitude going to below sea level must be horrible on your inner ears and sinus cavity. If you want extreme. Try doing this in reverse. That would be impressive. Scuba rocket suit into a Helicopter.

Matthew Facey - 7 years ago

Ohm Zen you clearly don't dive, air to sea is fine for your ears.

Austimatic - 10 years ago

Sea to air would surely result in decompression sickness. It's advised not to fly within 24 hours of a dive (even for pressurized cabins). Assuming one doesn't have a stuffy nose or allergies, equalizing your ears shouldn't be an issue.

So he saw the scuba pack from the helicopter? Because there's no way he hit the water and immediately dived to exactly where the tank was. Still cool tho.

Arthur Borges - 10 years ago

i really want this song!!

Dominic Tutty - 10 years ago

N8032 no there are no issues with nitrogen here. The WHOLE atmosphere up to space above the water exerts as much pressure as 10 meters deep in the water. Also the issue for scuba diving is when coming up from a dive not when going down. No problem here. Its the same when you go in a commercial airliner you can dive straight away. Though you should wait up to 24 hours AFTER diving to fly.

Sharky Marky - 10 years ago

You're correct except about the 10 meters part. That depth is 2 bar/atm while the above-sea level atmosphere is only one. Twice the pressure at 10 meters.

et natrah - 10 years ago

Sweettttttttttttttt

mangamantus - 10 years ago

Possible to get just the song from this video?

Dudi Chen - 10 years ago

Cool video for sure, although it is obvious that this was not made together in one shot. he had no float marking to indicate the exact location of his scuba gear and he did not have his gloves on when he skydived.
This is basically an advertisement of Queensland for tourist, if you haven't noticed - Don't get me wrong, Queensland is awesome, especially TGBR.

kristian mcshane - 10 years ago

Nice one gull

n8032 - 10 years ago

ok so as awesome as this video clearly is, i feel that this is really dangerous for you medically. Like, isnt there a worry about nitrogen levels in your blood being exposed to those two different atmospheric extremes in such a short period of time?

Michael Morton - 10 years ago

Probably more if it was the other way around. If you did the scuba diving first your blood would be saturated with Nitrogen. Going high you would probably just explode! Or have extreme decompression sickness. I'm hoping it's explode though.

Hayden M - 11 years ago

Awesome

Frankie and the Moon - 11 years ago

The name of the song is Dreams by Frankie Facebook dot com / frankie1

Aaron Tiller - 11 years ago

Now, that is true "skydiving"--diving through the air with (partial) scuba gear! I almost want to label this an altitude dive. I can see it being fun for one time, just to capture on video, but otherwise kind of a hassle.

Joseph Wilcox - 11 years ago

Same with me. Sadly, unless the skydiving rules in Australia are different than in the US, we can't, you need to be at least 16

EpicOutdoor - 11 years ago

Compression is never a major problem, only decompression. That's why why one can quickly descend to any depth but have to ascend at a safe and controlled rate.

Dylan Zhang - 11 years ago

Guy Baker - 11 years ago

i think its two takes . he lands with go pro camera in right hand [ 1.06] but is then shown after the edit swimming down with camera in left hand [ 1;10]. when did he have time to swap it ? also looks like he lands in 3 m of water and then swims down 7 m to his regulator? not that it really matters .

283smurf - 11 years ago

LetTheMelodyFlow - 11 years ago

Dangerous or physically impossible?

iexusuxei - 11 years ago

Google "the bends" or read this wiki description: "Decompression sickness (DCS; also known as divers' disease, the bends or caisson disease) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation". Basically diving as you are "compressed" underwater you get concentrations of gas (nitrogen etc). Then when you go UP it forms into bubbles (think like opening a bottle of fizzy drink!) which is dangerous in if it's in your blood.

RiKKuXd28 - 11 years ago

and why is the other way around really dangerous?

This is rad as! Hey Gulliver, you were actually wing suit jumping at byron when I was shitting myself on the day of my skydive. You kept me sane all the way up to 14,000ft. Just wanted to say Hi and thanks :) As much as I loved the skydive, I love scuba diving a lot more.

Tropical North Queensland #exploreTNQ - 11 years ago

It's ok if you skydive first and then scuba-dive - the other way round would be dangerous :)

mascot09s - 11 years ago

isn't this dangerous to do because of the bends? or is it ok because it is reversed?

antonposa - 11 years ago

So what happened to the parachutes when you guys cut them away?
