This Southeast Asian Tribe is Full of Actual Superhumans

The Ultimate Test

This initiation is a “trial by fire” type of experiment that is necessary for the divers to endure before they can start doing what they train for professionally. The mentor divers bring the young ones down as deep as they can, and in some cases, the children pass out because their lungs and bodies cannot withstand the pressure. The mentors push them lower and lower until they notice blood coming from the young diver’s ears, then, and only then, will they bring them up to the surface.
