Why Did He Blackout?! ⬇️
This is a video of @fred_petat having the biggest freediving blackout I’ve ever seen 😲
In the leadup to this competition, Fred had been training hard for several months, preparing his mind and body for the stressful conditions of holding your breath underwater.
Unfortunately, a couple of weeks before competition day he had to fly back to Europe for family reasons. That meant flying back halfway across the world the day before the competition, in order to be able to compete ✈️
Being heavily jetlagged, as well as a few competition nerves, does not make for optimal conditions to perform at an elite level in competition.
Fred attempted a personal best underwater swim, but when the oxygen levels in his body became too low, his brain shut down and he blacked out underwater.
The safety divers quickly intervened and pulled Fred’s body to the surface to stop him from drowning. It was then a very scary period as the safety team and judges tried frantically to revive him and get him breathing again.
It took about 20 seconds before Fred started breathing on his own and regained consciousness, and shortly after he made a full recovery 👌🏽
This is an important reminder that you should NEVER dive alone, and that no matter how hard we train and prepare, things don’t always go to plan.

To push harder, dream bigger, and aim higher than what we thought was possible.
We should never limit ourselves when it comes to our goals, our personal growth, and what we want to achieve in life.
But let me remind you, playing with death is never an option.
Chasing your dreams should never come at the cost of your safety, your well-being, or your life.
Taking risks is part of growth — but there’s a difference between courage and recklessness.
Life is a gift from Allah ﷻ.
And we are entrusted to protect it, not just for ourselves, but for those who love us, who depend on us, and who would be left in pain if we chose to harm ourselves in the process.
So yes — aim high.
Break your limits.
Surprise even yourself.
But always do it with wisdom, balance, and a deep respect for the life that Allah has given you.
Because your life has value.
And your journey has meaning — even when you don’t always see it.
Wa Allahu A’lam.
Y'all the eye💀💀😭😭
Stupid sport. Risking their lives. Crazy.
