Crazy guy swimming through under water tunnel.

The tunnel this guy is swimming through goes down about 6 feet then down stream about 8 feet making a semicircle back up stream and up. He's got more guts than me or less brains, not sure which. The force of the water makes it hard to swim back up and out once the tunnel turns up stream and up.

What's the purpose of the tunnel?

There was a place on the Nathala river when we went white water rafting were 3 creeks merged in one spot causing a swirl in the water , the kayakers would paddle up to this fast and get sucked in and it would shoot them out like 20-30 feet down river , we watch them do this for about a hour .

The tunnel doesn't have a purpose, it's just a small cave through the rock, that happens to be under the water. I did find one part of it by acident. I was trying to find a nice spot to sit and relax in the rapids, when I stepped into a hole. I tried to touch the bottom of it but by the time I got above chest deep the force of the water wanted to suck me down. For all I knew the hole was 8 to 10 feet deep and the force of the water would keep me on bottom if I went under. When I told another guy to be careful and told him where the hole under the water was, he informed me it was a tunnel. Then he said he would swim through it.

My wife knows I'm kinda a daredevil and in the vid you can hear her telling me no,

That's awesome! I'll do it!
