Helped by his crew, this South African became an expert in finding these incredible creatures in the ocean and spending a few seconds swimming with them underwater. We followed the man who freedives with orcas on one of his most beautiful expeditions, completed recently in Norway, and had the opportunity to ask him all about it. See what it takes to go underwater with orcas by watching the new episode of our video series, Dedicate, devoted to those inspiring people who decide to focus their life on achieving a goal beyond the ordinary.""

They are so talkative! Always talking and the voice is so adorable!

[@wyatthumphreys4046]

That was the coolest redbull video I've ever seen. Period.

[@dannysullivan12345]

blue planet 2 eps. 1 drop kicks this video out the window!!!!!2 words, orca go pro.

[@Sam-uw7pw]

Best video I've seen period

[@JdeVos]

@@dannysullivan12345 out of interest - the tag footage you are referring to (gopro on orca) was filmed by my friends at the Norwegian Orca Survey as part of their research and Blue Planet simply bought it from them :)

[@conquereroftheuseless]

[@goodeveningsir152]

Such beautiful creatures do not belong in tanks for entertainment

[@funkyduck4743]

Amen

[@LieorDie24]

No animal belongs in to a tank cage or whatever

[@MelanieAntunes27]

GoodEvening Sir you are so correct on that, and when they go on tanks ppl get mad because they attacked the trainers and they said they are to dangerous to swim with well then why don't you just go in the wild and do all that they wouldn't be stressed out would they.

[@jessbrandal4651]

Cats and dogs are domesticated you dummy. No whale or large sea creature in a tank has enough space.

[@demonnick666]

GoodEvening Sir They weren't in a tank you virtue signaling tit.

Unbelievable animals and unbelievable humans all in one video .......

[@markrigsby2107]

LC. For Truth.

[@jakethedog2934]

+LC. For lets just say unbelievable animals because we humans are animals too. Your making it sound like humans arent animals we are primates

[@itschrischriss]

Jake the dog yeah humans are the only creation made in the image of God though. All creations are special to the artist who made them but we hold a different value, even angels don’t have privileges we do. This is beautiful man.

[@caitlynnrhodes844]

Chris Chris I don’t think humans value is above animals as we are animals, you’re allowed to have your belief of course but not everyone shares that opinion.

[@itschrischriss]

Caitlynn Rhodes Hi! I understand where you guys are coming from. You don’t believe the Bible and that God created man separately from animals so I don’t expect us to agree. I still pray y’all come to know your worth though. Next time y’all go the veterinarian tell them that God made us all equal, He loves us and that He is coming back for His people!

[@exhibitionchristina4890]

Ik it’s dumb but this literally made me cry. Seeing them so free and happy, I love it. So much respect for this guy and crew

[@amor797]

Not dumb at all. You are certainly an empath that's all, I cried too

[@kennyc388]

[@gravityfalls8439]

the video was too good I don't blame u

[@ianimations1656]

wait, did you cry watching the dudes in flippers or the orcas?

[@exhibitionchristina4890]

Ianimations definitely the whales but I can’t say I’m not jealous of the guys

[@taniorarei]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for capturing these precious orcas and whales for us. They looked so peaceful and happy.

[@redbull]

You are welcome, T Williams! 🙌

[@dayana857]

BEAUTIFUL seeing these beautiful animals FREE make me so happy!!

[@maprilhollywood]

That's so beautiful. I was just diagnosed with heart disease called Viral Cardiomyopathy and I'm only 28 yrs old. Anything can happen and I look at life so differently. Being able to do something like this would be a dream come true. I lived in Portland Oregon for some years as a teenager and have grown such a love and respect for the Ocean. It's amazing what you were able to capture and I pray and hope that one day I can do the same.

[@deniszykov964]

I hope you're feeling better now! Go pursue your dreams!

[@sabatian1138]

Wow! How could anyone not love this video? Orcas are the best. So beautiful, so majestic, so intelligent. Yet, in the wild, they are completely gentle toward humans, and are as curious about us as we are about them. God is wonderful in His creations.

lol, a fictional character won't save all the pretty animals, YOU must do something, together with everyone. Just sitting around and waiting for some made up magical thing to appear and save the world is something they did in medival times.

Far-out this is beautiful. Thankyou to your crew and you seeing this makes the world feel that bit softer. Love Australia.

[@fireinateacup89]

I just love their voices! I wish we could know how their language works. Cetaceans are phenomenally intelligent--it's thrilling to have other creatures to interact with who have the ability to comprehend things on a near-parallel level as us!

[@fireinateacup89]

@Kyle Rhein They’re a lot smarter than dogs though!

Not sure why but I got teary eyed. This is truly beautiful. If you come to Vancouver island I'd love to help you in any way. So amazing

I've never wanted to do something so badly as this, my chances are very low though lol but this is absolutely breathtaking. The orca and their calls are so so beautiful.

[@valderja]

Absolutely magical!

[@titandragon753]

Look up Orcas saving humans from drowning and from sharks. They are so intelligent-they interact with us differently. No attacks have happened on humans in the wild. The only attacks recorded have occurred in captivity. I don't blame them-no Orca should be kept captive. So cruel and so selfish-they should ban and make keeping them in captivity illegal.

[@WhiffleWaffles]

I think there are some rare occurrences of contact and attack with them, but none resulted in severe injury let alone death. But yeah, this is entirely beautiful.

[@katie7513]

gracefulgracie the only time orcas have attacked humans is when in captivity :)

[@WhiffleWaffles]

@@katie7513 not entirely true, there's been like 3 attacks in the wild but they went no where and only one was truly confirmed by an artic expedition. No one was fatally injured and no fatalities.

[@katie7513]

gracefulgracie no one was fatally injured because orcas physically can’t eat humans because their jaws aren’t strong enough

[@katie7513]

œ æ Are You seriously comparing the human skeleton to whales and seals? They are completely different.

Looking at videos like this, with such magnificent scenery, wonderful humans and magical creatures, makes me believe that maybe God exists after all.

[@phynchen8139]

Why not be in awe of nature's powers instead? Why reduce it to something made by a man-made deity instead of being breathless when you realize this beauty exists purely by chance and took billions of years to get to this point, instead of just a meek seven days. If you add religion to the mix, you're shaming nature and taking away the beauty of it all.
