  • A journalist experiences a controlled descent involving steadily increasing pressure.
  • The exercise is associated with an elite Lithuanian military service and reaches a depth of 20 meters.

“Attention! We will begin the descent in one minute.”

The equipment starts up, and the steadily increasing pressure begins to squeeze my head and eardrums. Trying to imagine what comes next, I realize that intense sensations are probably ahead as we prepare to descend to 20 meters.

Attention! We will begin the descent in one minute.
