Book excerpt: No Limit diving had captured my soul. Diving into the deep felt amazing. Absolutely amazing. It is hard to describe that feeling, mainly because it is such an introspective pursuit, entirely devoid of adrenaline. This kind of deep diving has nothing to do with enjoying the scenery or getting a rush from excitement. Exactly the opposite. With an intrinsic awareness of pushing your limits, you are at the same time on the edge of your capacity to think. It is as if you are in between something that is seemingly out of reach and, at the same time, is completely surrounding you. When you touch it, it is magic in the making. I know the runner’s high from practicing endurance sports, and my perception in the deep gave me an equal feeling of awe, but from a different angle. It was awe in a universe of total calm, serene nothingness, and complete stillness. You’re brought to a place so profound that your spirit is as deep inside yourself as your body is in the sea. After that amazing experience, you can’t stop thinking about it when you realize you can go deeper still. You want to know how far you can stretch that horizon within and outside of you to reach even further. After 600 feet, I had already decided I wanted to go to 700 feet, and I wasn’t planning on getting there in small increments. That would take too many dives and too much time. More dives also meant more cost. [Chapter 18: No Limit | 700 feet] —— BREATHING IS OVERRATED, an autobiography about human potential, a pioneering spirit, and the deepest dive on a single breath - Herbert Nitsch Available on Amazon world wide. Hardcover, Paperback and eBook.

BREATHING IS OVERRATED: an autobiography about human potential, a pioneering spirit, and the deepest dive on a single breath Austrian freediver Herbert Nitsch explored the boundaries of human potential in the ocean’s depths time and again.  This pioneering spirit led him to complete the deepest dive on a single breath, in a project called Extreme 800. This dive took everything from him: his health, his love, his resources, and almost his life.  As an airline pilot, Herbert was trained to plan in great detail, and approach challenges analytically and pragmatically.  As a maverick freediver, he innovated and broke with convention.  As a scout of his body’s aquatic abilities, he developed a strong bond with the sea. After being told he would never walk or lead a normal life again, Herbert drew from his experiences above the clouds and underwater to embark on a journey to an extraordinary recovery. This book dives into the mind and methods of a revolutionary world champion freediver, the only person to set world records across all of the sport’s disciplines. It also provides insights into a winning mentality, managing risks, stroke recovery, restoration of memory and motor skills, natural healing, self-motivation and unconventional thinking. Herbert’s well-documented journey was made possible thanks to more than two dozen contributors. His autobiography is enriched with 200+ color images from photographers such as @franckseguinphoto (cover), and @manu.theobald (back-cover portrait). Separated from the main story, the book includes a variety of Tech Talks to provide deeper insights into Herbert’s freediving routines, innovations, and No Limit sled designs, as well as various Science Talks about freediving physiology edited by Prof. Dr. Erika Schagatay and Stig Severinsen, Ph.D. Each time I think I’ve reached a limit .. there is a door .. it opens .. and the limit is gone. Herbert Nitsch 18 Sep 2024 tina_augmueller quotes Herbert Nitsch in @wunderwerkleben.magazin : “When you overcome an obstacle, you emerge as a new person. And suddenly you ask yourself: What else is possible? This mindset carries over into everything— your career, your relationships, your health. Many people fail at big challenges because they’ve never learned to master the small ones.” “Wenn du eine HĂŒrde ĂŒberwindest, gehst du als neuer Mensch heraus. Und plötzlich fragst du dich: Was geht noch? Diese Haltung ĂŒbertrĂ€gt sich auf alles - Beruf, Beziehungen, Gesundheit. Viele Menschen scheitern an großen Herausforderungen, weil sie nie gelernt haben, kleine zu meistern.” #freediving #nolimitfreediving #freediver #underwaterphotography #freedivingphotography 01 Jan 1970 Book excerpt: With rope neatly coiled behind me, I sat on the plastic chair with the petra on my lap and one hand on each side.  My nose clip securely shuts my nostrils.  After taking my last breath and packing my lungs to their maximum volume, I rolled forward off the chair into the water, letting the petra pull me into the deep and keeping my body as streamlined as possible.  As in training, the buoyancy of my lungs nearly stopped my descent, but slowly, I accelerated downward.  As my speed increased, I kept my eyes closed and focused on equalizing my ears.  The ride felt great and never-ending.  I felt a jolt when the rope was fully stretched and realized I had reached maximum depth.  This jolt also signaled the kolaouzeris to start pulling me back up.  I stood on the stone to streamline myself for the journey back to the surface, as sponge divers have done in the Mediterranean for centuries. Usually, I leave my eyes closed while freediving, but the moment I stood on the stone, I looked around; it was dark.  Far above, the sun’s rays would welcome me.  I had no mask or goggles, so my vision was blurred, which added to the marvelous luminous display.  After a while, I stepped off the stone, letting the rope slip through my hands until they met the stone.  I was now hanging to the rope with one hand, gliding towards the light that would provide my first breath.  At that moment, I felt very exposed to the elements: hundreds of feet below the surface, wearing only a swimsuit, my connection to the world was no more than a rope pulled by a single pair of hands.  At the same time, I was mesmerized by the shades of blue dancing around me.  It seemed an eternity before I reached the surface, but I relished every second of the ride.
