Negative breath works is a powerful tool for raising endurance, comfort, and confidence in your breath.

The approach shown in the video is meant to mimic the mental and physical challenge of unexpectedly getting your breath knocked out.  As in catching a rail or a wave hitting and knocking you down then having to swim to the surface or being dragged by the waves power for awhile.
