Key quotes and takeaways from the show:
The ketogenic diet is used for epileptic seizures.
Pure oxygen can become toxic if you’re swimming (moving) at depth (under pressure) and can cause seizures. The seizures don’t often kill you but drowning whilst having a seizure is critically dangerous.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy does not replace your body’s natural ability to repair itself, it just speeds up the process. You should only need therapy once, to get your body back to doing what it was supposed to do.
Science wins over bullshit every time.
“There is absolutely life out there [that we don’t know about].”
“We find between 10 and 30 new species each time we dive.”
“Diversity of thought is what you really need.”
Life is about balance.
Water whisks heat away from your body 25 times faster.
Statistically you are more likely to die by getting hit in the head with a coconut than you are from being bitten by a shark.
You are more likely to be killed by a vending machine than you are to win the lottery.
Being worried is a wasted emotion. It does nothing for you. If anything, it’s detrimental… It increases your breathing rate, heart rate, your blood pressure and puts you into a fight or flight response which is not useful when you need to be cool, calm and collected in the water.
The human record is 73 straight days under water.
I.C.E.E = Isolated Controlled Extreme Environment.
Poseidon is the god of the sea. He was carried across the oceans in a chariot pulled by hippocampi.
If you are in a 100% humidity environment (like in water) and you get cut, it doesn’t heal very fast, if at all.
Be excellent to one another.
