Sofía rocks the Bahamas

Sofía Gómez Uribe is a Colombian world record holding freediver. She was in Dean's blue hole in the Bahamas for Vertical blue, the most prestigious freediving competition of the year, where she came third overall. After the comp, we stayed an extra day to film this - the fourth instalment in the 'Sofía rocks' series. Sofía hopes to return to VB this year, and crack the 100 meters. She also has a freediving school in Dominica called Deep Dominica. See more of Sofía here: / sofigomezu
Safety by our mate and the UK's deepest man Gary McGrath: / garywhiteeye
Music is 'Crazy is mandatory' by Tomas Herudek.

After all of that running I seriously thought "Wouldn't it be so badass if she jumped down into the hole instead of going back up for air?". The fact that it actually happened was just awesome. Amazing video!

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Thank you J - we toyed with the idea of jumping up, but i thought it'd be cooler if she just dove in

[@Jhfrbcf]

We, youtube gazers, need more videos like this. It's beauty of nature in ALL aspects.

[@DaanVerhoeven]

I'll do my best to supply them, Sasha - there might be a few more on my channel

[@xrossrally]

Just wow Daan, well done capturing a magical scene with Sofia!

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Thank you - been wanting to do this film for ages!

[@luigit7666]

Sofia is spectacular another beautiful video, thanks and congratulations👌

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Thank you Luigi!

[@guacamole8964]

I spent a day at Dean's and took my family. We had it to ourselves. The cliff jumping from above the water is amazing too. Beautiful shallows and of course the Blue Hole. Magnificent.

[@DaanVerhoeven]

It's one of the best places in the world for freediving

YAAAY!!!! I LOVE SOFIA!!!! She’s so adventurous going on her underwater adventures. It’s like she’s flying underwater like a superhero & Peter Pan. I wonder how she got her super powers.❤

[@johnhess351]

Hours of hard work for 2 minutes of amazing video.

[@DaanVerhoeven]

thank you for noticing that - we shot it pretty quickly, though, as we had a good team

[@fabtuk550]

Eso estuvo genial🇲🇽 That was great. 🇲🇽

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Thank you!

[@1s3ngr1m]

That acceleration at the beginning! It showed impressively how dense the medium water is. A woman as strong as Sofia could only muster a sprint as fast as the melting glaciers. Not that it is something bad, quite the contrary!. that way we had more time to gaze at her ...and the impressive scenery it only would have taken mere seconds to traverse on land

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Yes, i don't think we'll start setting sprint records this way!

[@dr.OgataSerizawa]

Water is about 800 times as dense as air.

[@danielbarreto1973]

I won't comment on how amazing it is to follow her run on that edge or how poignant it is to see her dive into the dark abyss... I will only focus my attention on how perfect her body is. Instead of filming her dive into deeper water I would be happy having a cup of coffee with her looking at her smile planning the color of our next child's room.

With no weight belt how is she staying down? It looks deep....maybe 50 feet or more? Beautiful video work....its like a dream.

[@DaanVerhoeven]

check out her belt - she's wearing quite a bit of weight. And at 17 meters deep, your lungs are compressed so you're less buoyant

[@DaanVerhoeven]

I see your point - but Sofia and I like rock, and this is part of the Sofia rocks series, and I’ve set them all to songs by the same composer, so it’s tradition. Plus not many people run to peaceful music, do they?

[@ens0246]

@@DaanVerhoeven ha true. I haven't watched your videos in a long time due to them not appearing much in my feed (the algorithm 💔) and just realised you have a good few peaceful ones. Hope you didn't take it as a moan. I wanted the emoji to convey it was just personal preference.
