Garrett Reisman Lived at the Bottom of the Ocean for 2 Weeks | Joe Rogan

the Joe Rogan experience well you've done underwater exploration as well yeah what have you done there I live for two weeks in the bottom of the sea Wow Jesus [Laughter] just you saying that yeah two weeks at the bottom of the ocean yeah how deep it was exactly twenty thousand millimeters under the sea is about sixty feet which works out to be about no only 60 feet that's yeah that doesn't freak me out too much I thought you're gonna select miles no let's start panicking no it's about 60 feet but but the cool thing was we stayed there for weeks Wow now if you're normal if you're normally scuba diving and you go down 60 feet you have 60 minutes and then you got to come back up or you get too much nitrogen in your blood and you're gonna get bent right mm-hmm so so we if you but it's not a problem if you just stay the problem is then if you stay you build up all that nitrogen in your blood now you can't go back up so like if you run out of air or you lose sight of your buddy or something you can't go to the surface because within a couple hours you'll be dead Wow so you have to stay down there and we use cave diving techniques that we did a lot of training for to be safe and we have redundant tanks redundant manifolds redundant regulators and we could head valves that we can flip around so we can always make sure we can get air without ever having that in an emergency ever having to come up because coming up it's not an option so how do you eventually get out it's a freaky thing it takes a better day and what you do is you take so we're living in this habitat and it was kind of like a submarine on the bottom of the ocean but it didn't have a motor so just like stuck on the floor like a big like a big cylinder and it had a hole cut in the side here and and the only thing I was keeping the ocean out was the air pressure inside whoa kind of like taking a cup and flipping it over putting it in a bathtub and trapping the air oh and you just scuba dive on down and then you swim into that thing and then if then once you pop up in that hole it's like you're in a swimming pool inside the habitat and then you just step out to the habitat whoa have you ever seen the movie the abyss yes it's like that like this like that oh yeah how accurate is that movie I think what's a guy was a Navy SEAL in there he just like like that's crazy from the kiss legs like what they call that deep dementia or something is that fake yeah that's fake so this process of getting back to surface level how you said it takes a day what you have to do so he do is you close up that hole and you convert the habitat into a pressure chamber and what you do is we very very slowly bring the pressure back to sea level so you decrease the pressure and you slowly is it as if you're slowly slowly going up in the water column and then over as you do it gradually that the nitrogen slowly comes out of your blood and you could feel it kind of tingles Wow over the course of a day just lie you tried to lie still in your bunk and just like read a book or something in the but you feel like this tingling and then after about a day of that they get you all the way back to the sea level slowly so that the nitrogen what you know it is it's like if you take a can of soda and you shake it up if you open you know um the top quickly right right but if you open the top really slowly and he let it slowly come out you don't get all the bubbles right it's that same effect ah that's a that's a great analogy yeah Oh what's freakier being in the bottom of the ocean or being up in space up in space is more surreal yeah because the de floating the earth out the window the views are better but being it down there was pretty wild too I remember once we're doing this experiment where I had my crewmate and had an ultrasound and we're doing this telemedicine experiment so there were these docks in Houston looking at the screen but there's a delay and I was supposed to find her kidney and I'm like searching around for a kidney and then I look up and I look out the window and I see a six-foot hammerhead shark right out the window and we have a guy in the water and I was I and I dropped a giant f-bomb like wow you know and and all the others all the ducks in Houston are freaking out too thinking like in a moment thing to see her liver explode on the screen or something and like what's that was has a patient has a patient like patients fine got a six-foot hammerhead out the hood yeah that's got to be really weird right you're you're in that thing in their world for how long two weeks yeah so is that the weirdest animal that you saw is the hammerhead the scariest thing I saw was one that I was taking a dump I the way you do this okay number one you just pee in the pool okay but if you have to go number two you go into the pool cuz you just gonna you don't want to floater in your pool right that's of course like Caddyshack you know what that right so what you do is you go you don't take a tank you just take your mask and your fins when you go down naked you can we had a we had a mixed gender crew so I wore some trunks but you know and then you just go down and you have to swim I don't know it's like maybe 10 15 feet it's not that far and there's a what we call the gazebo which is just a little dome that has air inside now you're out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean like with no tank no in you're 60 feet down it's night you can't see a thing you're alone in the ocean but you can see this little gazebo you swim to that you pop in and then you got air into some valves you let in some fresh air and then you hold on and you just and you take off your trunks and you just let it rip but the problem is the fish get accustomed to this oh Jesus yeah so they go there knowing that you're gonna poop as soon as you drop in the water at night it's like the dinner bell going off it was like school yeah yeah because this is feeding time whoa until you feel them like yeah pecking at the back door the worst are the angelfish cuz that shape they can get like right up in there oh boy so you take your fin off and you're like whacking them so that's all bad enough but like but as you're doing that and you're in the pitch-black Atlantic Ocean 60 feet down no scuba tank at night at night Oh with the sound of the ocean like like lapping against the the dome and you're looking down and this endless black you know just a black void and you're thinking about every single scary ocean movie like jaws you know the meg or whatever they abyss all those scary movies right and you think about all those things that could be down there it can't help but going through your head so it's kind of freaky and then you finish and you put your mask back on and I took a big breath and I went down and I opened my eyes and my in my mask in the darkness with my flashlight and I saw like right in front of me this huge eyeball like about the size I don't know of a of a saucer you know I like this big staring unblinking great at me and I freaked I just tore off for them for the pool for the moon pool and the habitat I jumped in there I surface I'm screaming I'm screaming and my crew come running with a guy like I've been bit by a shark or something and I'm like giant fish and it wasn't it was a Goliath Grouper oh I've seen those things before they're enormous size of a cow it's like hundreds and hundreds of pounds yeah yeah oh my god yeah scared to live in hell at me yeah those things could literally eat a person yeah it it was big enough that's for sure and so it was just decided it scared the heck outta me like so where were you were in the Atlantic yeah how far away were you from like Florida like we're yeah we're just off the coast of Key Largo okay cuz that's what I'm saying like they live down there yeah well that's an enormous fish man huge I've seen videos of people catching them off of boats and it seems surreal look at that yeah there you go yeah it's like a giant largemouth bass that's what it's like if you go bass fishing they're so similar to bass like in the way they look yeah and now imagine like Jesus Christ look at that yeah imagine that being I died with that thing in the middle of the dark Atlantic and no scuba tank they're delicious to it but like I don't know if they taste as good as regular grouper I had yeah I was a good so you get it different he was a good fighter look at the mouth on that thing good lord I'll tell you another quick story about down there so I went out for a night dive once and I spent the beautiful thing about saturation diving like this is you can do basically infinite time bottom time you're not limited to like sixty minutes you can stay out there for six hours you know whatever so I was not doing this night dive and I found this beautiful shrimp and it was just spectacularly gorgeous there's like translucent you could see through it you see its organs move like internal organs like doing their thing and I stared at it for at least like an hour just helmet light on it and just sat there and stared at it and it was really beautiful and I come back inside the habitat and I'm kind of hungry and the best space food we got is shrimp cocktail and I flip that thing off the shelf and I'm like oh that looks good then I'm like I can't do it I can't do it you felt bad just saw the shrimp Wow I did the next day the next day yeah but that for that day though you really felt bad I felt bad mmm Wow grouper you too felt bad like a nice grouper sandwich it's been ok with that after yeah wonder if they've ever eaten people because it seems like they could I mean they swallow giant fish it seems like if you're not a large person they might be able to just suck you right in there you know say now if this happens to me again I'm gonna be even more freaked there I feel like I've read that grouper have bitten people before yeah like probably trying them out if they get hung out if you're that big you probably have to eat so much yeah this non-stop yeah buffet for those guys and yeah so when you're down there and you're doing all the swimming you're using a rebreather no we're using tanks regular scuba tanks and what is the capacity these tanks like how long can you stay down just swimming around for we have two and we can isolate them in case one of them springs a leak but you don't have that much more time than a standard scuba tank but we have is refill stations all around the floor with high-pressure hoses so we have these quick disconnects and on our system that you can plug in and fill it right back up and then you get to go for you know another couple hours so when you swim to go take a poo you have to do that you have to wear the tank or do you just hold your breath just hold your breath you're not gone that far how far you going yeah 15 feet or so in total pitch-black yeah there's a light on the gazebo but that's all [Applause]
