    Freediving under the ice in Canada is one of the most unique and beautiful experiences. After gaining experience for a few years while in dive gear, Andrew Ryzebol was ready to face the next challenge to see what the human body is capable of.

    This dive was well planned out from a safety perspective and has a lot going on behind the scene hidden from the camera. We would never recommend people try this without first taking an advanced freediving course and gaining cold water experience.

    This eight-year-old girl from Israel has an unusual swimming buddy an eleven-foot long python. The serpent even has a name Belle named after Belle from Beauty and the Beast, as the snake’s yellow color resembles Belle’s yellow ball gown.

    The girl says her playmate has been good company during the COVID-19 lockdown.

    “It helps me pass the time because I really like to hang out with snakes and I help them to be happy in times of coronavirus.”

    The girl used to swim with her pet snake in the bathtub when she was little, and her mother says it’s no surprise the two now swim together in a pool, as both of them have grown bigger.

    Texas is home to beautiful swimming holes, but none is more enticing than the mysterious Jacob’s Well. How deep is Jacob’s Well? What does it look like inside Jacob’s Well? Only the brave can discover the answers to these questions. Watch to see as I dive into Jacob’s Well and do a little exploring.

    Sitting on the banks of Cypress Creek in Wimberley, this swimming hole is unlike anything in Texas. It dips down hundreds of feet into the earth, down to the aquifer that feeds the creek. It’s a cool sight and an even cooler swim.
