A freediving samba or Loss of Motor Control (LMC) is near black out experience. Always dive with a trained freedive buddy who can perform a proper rescue protocol. There are different methods to rescue someone from an LMC/samba and blackout, which come in useful depending on the severity, conditions, etc.
This is a video I did not want to post because it is embarassing, but it should be taken as a warning to new and intermediate freedivers what can happen in the water, and to never freedive alone.
This is why you must not hold your breath without a buddy who is trained in freedive rescue procedures.
