thats pretty cool

two questions

how is it that at a certain point he just sinks and dosnt have to swim down anymore? he isnt wearing weights is he?

and is it just me or can you see the affects of the pressure on his body looks like he gets skinnier and skinnier as he goes down

As the pressure decreases the volume of air cavities in his body he loses positive buoyancy, and is his own weight.

AS Timm says you get negative after 15-20m so you just drop. you try and turn off everything and just concentrate on your equalisations its called the freefall and it s the nicest part of the dive. the problem comes at the bottom, the first few stokes or kicks if using fins at depth you now have to break that negative so you need to move really hard or you just keep sinking.

At depth you will compress a little too but what your probably seeing Will sucking in his diaphgram in order to get the most air further up the lungs to equalise with. You stay like this until you resurface. You can do plenty of exercise to help develop awareness of your diaphgram and increase its flexability. Its all good fun.
