Where does he getting the air from ? the vid is like 3 minutes...

Free divers can hold their breath for as long as 5 minutes and I have heard of longer than that. Free diving blue fin tuna fishers use a spear gun and no tanks just shoot and hold on I was watching a program a few years ago about it they said one guy stayed under water for 7mins and 23 seconds he wouldn't let go of the spear gun till the tuna stopped swimming. I know of guys that would high dive off rocks in to a lake that had caves down about 20 feet they would dive and swim through the caves there were 2 exits 1 you had to swim about 20 feet and the second exit was another 40 feet. try that with out fins on. I think the lake was Hillock Lake. The Canadian underwater council help super dive 1986 there I was there. water skied to the cliffs from the campsite it took about a half hour to get there. I don't even know if they still hold these dive competitions any longer. They were a lot of fun party half the night so you could go diving the next after noon.

and its in slow motion so it probably took less than 3 min. plus they obviously did it multiple times since there are different camera angles(that done appear in each others shot)

of course it's edited, but editing aside, have to admit it's a good clip

I watched a thing on that video, the guy is like the world champion free diver or something and it was filmed by his girlfriend, who was also a world champion free diver. I think they said that video was 5 or 6 different dives edited together, so they might have had an air supply hidden somewhere.
