i'm not so sure... the camera "man" is julie gautier, herself a record-holding freediver, while supposedly also holding her breath.

it's no big deal to disconnect from a tank & regulator underwater.  it's also possible to add a buoyancy device to the tank to make it neutral in the water.

since there is no camera on the cameraperson there is no way to know. .  but when it's a 5 minute video (which means they were there 20-30-40 minutes?) and the subject is going hundreds of feet underwater, i can surmise someone had a tank nearby...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

my first guess was rebreather (no bubbles)... then i saw who the camera person was.

given the length of the video and different camera angles, i'm pretty sure this was shot over multiple dives.

I started free dive spearfishing last year. Free diving is a great sport. I took a class this summer and was able to hold my breath for over 3 min. Before the class the deepest I ever dove was 30' but I had to come up right away. After the class I had 30' dives that lasted 1:45. I could go down to 50' with time to look around and did 20M a few times( max allowed in the class) its amazing what the proper breathing techniques can do. The rest is just practice.  People are going over 100M with no fins.  The record dynamic apnea ( swimming underwater in a pool) is 225M with no fins.

Its nice not to have to pay for and lug scuba gear around and I think spear fishing on scuba in water less than 60' is cheating.
