So I was reading “The Heart and the Fist” last night and it mentioned that the first time they took this test, it was in the 15 ft deep-end of the BUD/S Combat Training Tank (the pool), but then it said they had to eventually do it a second time at 50 ft depth (I assume in the dive tower). Is this true? Also read in Wasdin’s book, “Memoirs of an Elite SEAL Team 6 Sniper”, that they had to tie all 5 knots in a max of 3 dives, is that also true? Thanks guys, really appreciate you putting this info out there for us!

Kirk, this is a valsalva to equalize the pressure that builds up when you descend to depth.

Question:

Perhaps this will seem obvious to many of you, but I was wondering what exactly you are doing when you pause during your descent and bring one hand to your nose? Are you clearing water from your mask? Or some trick to pressurize your sinuses that allows you to hold you breath longer? Just curious. Also, I notice I am the first comment on the article in nearly a year, so sorry for bumping an old piece. Thanks, you guys are awesome.

Thanks, I think your videos were responsible for the most productive 20 minutes I’ve ever spent on the internet.
