This incredible video of Gillaume Nery jumping into the world's largest underwater hole will actually make you hold your breath. The [champion free diver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diverplus) dives into this [giant black hole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-abyss) holding his breath the entire time.

I had to watch this video on repeat in order to fully be able to grasp how crazy this is. The man jumps into this frighteningly dark, deep hole without an [air tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dive-computer1)! I suggest watching Gillaume Nery's dive at least twice -- the man is absolutely insane!
