[QUOTE=revan740;46299502]How do these people get into water this deep without having their ears implode? I find it uncomfortable to go to the bottom of a pool let alone several meters below the surface.[/QUOTE] All you do is equalize your ears whenever you feel discomfort. Basically just making your ears pop to allow the pressure to equalize, which is what causes the pain. You can go as deep as you like as long as you let your body equalize and adjust properly. I've been down to 130ft/40m scuba diving no problemo, and there are people that have gone 800ft/244m+ deep.
[t]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/m7N3i1T_Js0/maxresdefault.jpg[/t] [QUOTE]On May 21, 2010, Science reported that the Venter group had successfully synthesized the genome of the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides from a computer record, and transplanted the synthesized genome into the existing cell of a Mycoplasma capricolum bacterium that had had its DNA removed. The "synthetic" bacterium was viable, i.e. capable of replicating billions of times. (The team had originally planned to use the M. genitalium bacterium they had previously been working with, but switched to M. mycoides because the latter bacterium grows much faster, which translated into quicker experiments.) Scientists who were not involved in the study caution that it is not a truly synthetic life form because its genome was put into an existing cell It is estimated that the synthetic genome cost US$40 million to make and took 20 people more than a decade of work.[b 5] Despite the controversy, Venter has attracted over $110 million in investments so far for Synthetic Genomics, with a future deal with Exxon Mobil of $300 million in research to design algae for diesel fuel.[/QUOTE] [t]http://i2.wp.com/sciencereview.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/SpiderSilk.jpg[/t] [QUOTE]BioSteel was a trademark name for a high-strength based fiber material made of the recombinant spider silk-like protein extracted from the milk of transgenic goats, made by Nexia Biotechnologies, and later by the Randy Lewis lab of the University of Wyoming and Utah State University.[1] It is reportedly 7-10 times as strong as steel if compared for the same weight, and can stretch up to 20 times its unaltered size without losing its strength properties. It also has very high resistance to extreme temperatures, not losing any of its properties within -20 to 330 degrees Celsius.[/QUOTE]

Free divers can reach some ridiculous depths. Looking at some wiki records, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Nitsch"]this guy[/URL] has the deepest free dive: 253.2 meters (831 feet). The recreational Scuba limit is 130 feet. Once you start going deeper you have to start using different breathing gasses and it becomes a lot more technical. [editline]22nd October 2014[/editline] Another nice thing about free diving is you don't have to stop and decompress on your way up. If you surfaced like a free diver while doing scuba you wouldn't be conscious/alive by the time you got to the top.

The Iran Embassy was also part of a huge SAS operation, I think it exposed the SAS to the public for the first time. [video=youtube;_p4DmuGyehc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p4DmuGyehc[/video] Also, the guy was based on in MW2 as Captain Price.

The embassy hostage crisis really was just the first good example of what a modern SpecFor team was capable of. Prior to the Iranian Embassy Siege in '80, the big hostage crisis that everyone remembered was the Munich Massacre. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2b/Ap_munich905_t.jpg[/img] During that situation, the police weren't adequately prepared and because of it, 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were slaughtered. The Munich Massacre was the whole reason GSG 9 was created. The thing about the Iranian Embassy Siege is that it was well planned, well coordinated, had good intelligence, was well recorded, and it had a flawless execution.
