A diver gets stuck under a frozen lake (@oravecboris)
The next video you will see is breathtaking, literally.
An experienced diver has decided to challenge himself with swimming under a frozen lake with a thin layer of ice - without oxygen balloons, with his goal being to reach the open other side and get out before he runs out of air health.
Boris Orbeck, a professional ice hockey player and 31-year-old Slovak diver, tried to swim 20 meters under the ice as his friends tried to help him reach the other side.
In the video, which garnered nearly a quarter of a million views on Instagram and Tiktok, he documented himself swimming under the ice in the Tatra Mountains region of Slovakia.
But as you can see it really did not work out as smoothly as he expected.

The first attempt almost ended in disaster
In the video you can see that Boris takes a deep breath and starts with the ointment.
He reaches the exit point, where his friends stood on the ice and tried to break him to help him out.
But suddenly he lost his sense of direction and turned in the wrong direction.
His friends tried to steer him to the right place and help him out.
But after a few particularly stressful seconds, the diver under the ice found the safety rope and used it to pull himself out to his starting point.
The second attempt was more successful
So that attempt failed, but Boris did not give up.
He made another attempt and this time he completed the track successfully with no special incidents.
Even so, it is not recommended for amateurs to try it for themselves, huh?
