Sitting at a desk, watching both those vids on a PC with a resting heart rate of 60bpm, just elevated to 120bpm!
HOLY SHIZZER!
A whole bunch of mixed emotions and memories of getting SO drilled and being so deep that all you see is black, came flooding back!

Think we've all been there in some shape or form. Not as big maybe, but just as alive. Very well told by a savvy gent. Aim for the light.

Just curious...how long would you be underwater after one of the wipeouts .
How long would you have to hold your breath.
Are there any mini air devices that give you a few breaths.
Buoyancy vests..are they used in big wave surfing?
