FREEFALL a freediver’s journey into the heart of the cenotes - Tulum, Mexico

An epic journey freediving the mystic waters of the Mexican cenotes!
Hold your breath with Vitomir Maricic and descend the sacred freshwater sinkholes.
All underwater footage was performed and shot on breath-hold, without any help from pure oxygen, external sources of air or underwater scooter, to a range of -10m to -30m for the deepest shots.
We are highly trained professional freedivers.

This video deserves millions of views. Kudos to all the team, especially cameraman. I'm curious how deep it was...

[@gogetoutsidepodcast]

At the end, it says up to 30 meters (so 100 feet).

[@cenotefreediving]

Thanks a lots! really warm my heart to touch people through photography and videography :-) Shots range from 5 to 30m for the deepest 👍🏻

[@tjizzle8155]

​@@cenotefreedivingplease carry on! brilliant work! looking forward for more... thank you!

[@Wil_Dasovich]

Using this is my water meditation

[@UnderwaterMallorca]

Beautiful! Well done combining freediving with high quality cinematography. Not easy! I’m still starting out on both fronts and getting these super clean shots and all these different angles and the lighting and white balance is really hard. And then the diving!

[@cenotefreediving]

Thanks a lot man! Yeah it was a real job to put it together, I m really happy you appreciate. I learned Da Vinci for that project, as it is the goat of color grading. I am very happy with the result, it def took some time to get there! hope you make great stuffs also! cheers! Matt

[@UnderwaterMallorca]

@@cenotefreediving well you learnt it very well! I do a bit of coloring but doing it on underwater footage is new to me and so far, forgive the pun, I’m out of my depth 🤣

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Fantastic - such great images and a lovely grade!

[@moonfly664]

Потрясающие съемки. Это фантастика. Супер-мужчина, супер-человек. Совершенство тела, идеальность, смелось, профессионализм. Браво.

[@julianabarth4277]

What suit do you wear for your dives? I wear a 3/2 to keep warm, what would be better?😊

[@capitanrupert]

Impresionante 😮

[@epicimagination2400]

Absolutely incredible

[@jessrifa]

Wow 😮 unbelievable

[@tonycollings9998]

Beautiful piece! How long was the total breath hold and what was final depth, I bet some incredible metrics!

[@brunosappl9717]

i would really want to know that as well

[@alexbragadejesus2390]

Geralmente 30 a 50 metros o fisiculturista tavi castro faz apnéia ai também ele desceu essa profundidade tempo não se sabe varia 5 a 8 minutos.

[@noosfera_It]

this is a combination of separate dive shots, world record dynamic apnea is about 4:30 with a depth of 134 m and a long freefall with agressive finning to the top, however these moves made on a video are extremely oxygen consuming, at least due to the fact that artistism is mostly a mental action, and to its dynamics, it is almost impossible to hold breath that effectively, as in a state of meditation, and when you only use whats needed in a moment to just move down or straight. When you cut out everything that doesnt serve going with least oxygen consumption, then probably a human may do so for 5 minutes on -50m.

[@emilyruffell]

so epic

[@bladub5461]

BRAVO 👏 👍

[@sirckunewbe_forever4237]

Just Beautiful! 🥰🙏🏼😇💙👌

[@bubblefisho3675]

[@cenotefreediving]

Awe thanks a lot! Freediving is such a rich activity, so many different ways to enjoy it! CNF is definitely one ;-)

[@luisarthur3587]

Unbelievable 💪

[@onpointtalks8014]

This is superhuman!

[@luik457]

Great work! Awesome!

[@gogetoutsidepodcast]

Those light rays are so majestic. An editing trick I think would have been fun around 2:20 would have been to have him emerge from the halocline upside down and then slowly rotate the camera to reveal which way is actually up. That way you maintain the screen direction from the previous scene and surprise the viewers a little bit when they realize what is happening. Then, you also wouldn't need that cross-dissolve at all. Either way, cool video and beautiful locations.

[@TroyDeanMusic]

This is amazing fantastic work

[@OliChristenDrew]

Matt, Vito, this is awesome!!

[@nicolelai2559]

Incredible ! 😍

[@priscilaoliveira6655]

Nao consigo ficar nem 10 segundos dentro da agua. Parabéns pela técnica.

Plasma de manera maravillosa algunas de las bellezas que tiene mi país 🇲🇽

[@samudraaryawan3255]

Amazing 🔥🔥

[@Brasilprogresso-p5f]

[@m.p.5409]

How long you can stoping your Breath?

[@strangetimes1]

I just came from there....my cenote was nothing like this one, but I was totally creeped out inside....the bottom was pitch black, and there were catfish swimming around me. I was utterly creeped out. This is amazing, however. WOW.

[@marmstrongbb]

Amazing footage and so cool that I can now recognize some some of the locations :)

[@adrielh]

Absolutely incredible. 👏👏👏

[@ИванПетрович-ц2ц]

У меня один вопрос - КТО ЕГО СНИМАЕТ?! Это безумно красиво !

[@madbavoo]

very cool!!!

[@mi5iu491]

Damn to be able to hold ur breath that long...

[@lshwadchuck5643]

I nearly wept watching this.

[@ТатьянаСергеева-ю9и3д]

Increíblemente hermoso video espacial! ¿Cuánto dura una respiración?

[@RichardAldrick]

If only I had oxygen like you

Well done! Awesome images!

[@cinziaricciuti90]

Maravilla absoluta, pura poesía.

[@vposadas]

Wowwwww!

[@sntshkmr60]

So how long did he hold his breath for?

[@endrarain4545]

Tanks you

[@alexgrey9866]

Sorry, for how long he can hold the breath???

[@flyingideas2009]

You guys are my heroes. All the best. Nice movie. What camera did you use? Awesome images

[@petrodmytrovskyi]

Hi. Very beautiful video! What mask you used? Thank for information.

[@cenotefreediving]

Thanks man! That one is the C4 Falcon mask :-)

[@julianwuerzler]

Insane work! What filming setup did you use for these shots?

[@krzysztofsieradzki9333]

Wow

[@angieconley5957]

This scared me at 1st. But this may be the way of the world when the oceans take their land back. If these were sink holes why couldn’t pirate ships like Black Jacks ship be down in one.

[@STINKYxFROMAGE]

Is this Cristalino?

[@T.Q.]

No flippers?

[@MoritaJunichiro]

👏🏻👏🏻

[@coffeepandacat]

What happens if someone wants to swim in the mist? Is it safe to go that far?

[@cenotefreediving]

This Mist is actually a sulphur layer, trapped in between freshwater and saltwater, it is indeed toxic, but ok to cross it briefly like we do as freedivers :-)

[@snafu841]

how did you hold youre breth for so long

[@lilalola6554]

World record is 24 min

[@Royalediamond1_]

Как так?😮

[@karlbuttler]

That takes a lot of training, all on one breath?jeez.....k
