A video featuring two divers practicing in a pool has left viewers convinced it “has to be AI” or a “glitch in the matrix.”
Reflect on whether there’s a sport you didn’t explore during your younger years but think you might have excelled in, potentially even reaching the Olympics.
If diving ever crossed your mind, no matter how much effort you put in, it’s unlikely you could match the skills of two swimmers who have recently gone viral on social media. Their dives appear so perfect that they seem almost unreal. Why aren’t they in the Olympic team?
Prepare to be amazed:
A video shared on Twitter earlier today (July 31) by a user named Shanghai Panda shows two “Chinese divers” practicing by the pool.
The footage captures the first diver as they raise their arms in a point, keep their legs close together, and spring upwards. Angling themselves back down, they dive into the pool with no visible splash—just a few ripples gently lapping at the pool’s edge.
As the first diver climbs out, the second swimmer follows with an equally impressive dive. With pointed hands and toes, they leap gracefully into the air and dive back into the pool. No matter how many times you pause and replay the video, there’s no visible splash, only a slight gurgle.
The poster commented: “I bet even if I threw a towel into the water, the splash would be bigger than theirs.”
It didn’t take long for viewers to flood the comments, amazed by the divers’ skill.
One Twitter user said: “The body control is so impressive.”
Another wrote: “WTF? If it wasn’t you sending this & giving context, I’d say this has to be AI, or the work of the dev!l! AMAZING techniques. How is that possible! WOW!”
A third commented: “They actually stop for a sec midair, then control the drop – amazing.”
A fourth person quipped: “I should think most people’s stool hitting the water in the toilet bowl makes more of a splash.”
Finally, another user concluded: “They are one with the water and the water is one with them.”
