Description
He Got Stuck Inside Oman's Ancient Water Tunnel 🌊
Oman. He is using a Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) in a water tunnel. It's a falaj - An ancient water channel. Gravity moves the water. No pumps. About 3,000 are still in use today. Suddenly... halfway through, the battery died. How long can you hold your breath?
This oman falaj system is gravity engineering - no pumps, just slope and flow. Same family as the Persian qanat - ancient tunnels that still water villages today. He rode it with an underwater scooter / diver propulsion vehicle until it quit mid-tunnel.
