Free diving is a sport that is both remarkable and dangerous. What intrigues you the most about Guillaume Néry's dive?

That was astonishing. I found myself wanting him to go up for air but he was so peaceful and the scene with the whales was beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Such skill and creativity. Awesome!😮

[@st4rryni1ghts]

the thing is, the first whales he swam RIGHT NEXT TO were sperm whales which can produce the loudest sounds in the entire animal kingdom (frequencies higher than 30 kHz), enough to burst eardrums of people from hundreds of miles away. that means that those whales literally could of killed him both by eating him or by screaming if they wanted to, which makes that shot even more beautiful. (whales don't normally eat people though)

Это фантастика! Нереально завораживает!

[@Kaydin66]

that shot when he jumps from the 'beach' and swims into the 'air' is pure cinematic magic. everyone should watch this.

[@mikendaba5050]

i don't understand that scene, how did they do that

[@andreagiudici926]

@@mikendaba5050 the "reality" is flipped. he is walking upside down on that beach. it's the downside of a "beach". so actually he is facing the "deep ocean" if u look at 6:12 the light is coming from the downside. that's just my opinion though

[@falconshogun2]

I think he's walking on top of an underwater cave. Otherwise, if it was on a beach, he wouldn't have any water on top of his head and would just be walking normally on the beach. If you have any better idea, feel free to share but that's my best guess 👍 Still, the shot greatly amaze me !

[@iamdlord]

He doesn't jump into air. It is an underwater cave called "Cenote Angelita" in Mexico which is also a halocline. A halocline occurs when fresh water sits on top of salt water and the difference in their salinity keeps them separate. The mist and the beach like effect that you see is hydrogen sulphide moving around independently in between fresh and salt water. 5:52 if you look closely you can see that it doesn't behave like tides on a beach. It's just a dense gas trapped between water with different salinity levels.

[@Kaydin66]

yep. you got it. salt water and fresh water. looks so crazy.

[@alexisgriffin2613]

ive heard things about a certain point in the ocean when its so dark divers think they're swimming up but they're swimming down and often drown and seeing them go further gave me anxiety

Excellent video! Congratulations. The storyboard/script is compelling, the editing and music enhances the sensation of travelling around the seven seas and one ends up with a sense of awe at the wonderful sport of freediving. Thanks.

[@hooplaaa2961]

The shot of him swimming up towards the hole in the ice then the cut to him ascending from the mist was genius editing.
