Yeah, I’m kinda curious how he managed to avoid getting the bends.

He is free diving. No compressed air thus the only nitrogen inhaled is that first and only lungful. But there have been cases after repetitive free diving where the nitrogen has not been out gassed.

It is very rare for the bends to occur on the in and out dives.

This has sort of been addressed in that he's not breathing compressed air. There is also a time factor in nitrogen narcosis. He went to 600+ feet, but not for very long.
