Freediving is a sport of diving underwater with just one breath in your lungs. It's about keeping the mind at ease, taking a deep breath and letting your self fall into the ocean. This movie is made to show this sport from a new perspective -- an emotional and mythical view. It's fiction.
For a long time we were asking our selves why the internet did not have any videos of freediving as an emotional experience - something like 'Le Grand Bleu' by Luc Besson. Every clip on KZbin had something to do with a stop watch or a long rope. Suddenly Guillaume Nery and Julie Gautier emerged with their film 'Free Fall'. Their film managed to show freediving from a totally new perspective and give the world something never seen before. To us Guillaume Nery and Julie Gautier's 'Free Fall' have started a new short film genre from a freediver's perspective. We wish to contribute to this genre with our film.
'WEIGHTLESS -- Emotional Freediving' is filmed in Dahab, Egypt, January-February 2011 on three different locations. The five hours of footage has been shot solely on breath hold. The deepest filming was done on 20 meters depth and no single clip was longer than 1.5 minutes. We are not world champion freedivers but we love freediving and making movies!

As a freediver this amazing movie shows exactly what it is: that magical moment of self belief, commitment and pleasure.

[@d3xx]

LIFE IS SHORT PEOPLE!!!! ......This is DEFINITELY one of the BEST, MOST WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, and SPECTACULAR ways to ENJOY this AMAZING WORLD we live in..... FREEDIVING RULES!!!!!

[@nathantshava4921]

I'm want to have this weightlessness euphoric experience that sink divers experience when so deep in the sea. It must be magical.

[@helderxmx]

Absolutely love this video.For me, a mega amateur, this is what free diving is mostly all about. Peace

[@annamariavanwyk6577]

Helder Franco same! I’m also a baby free diver and I dive to find peace and get my head right. I have been struggling with a lot of anxiety in my rock climbing (also a first season climber) and it has helped with my headspace a lot a lot. I didn’t expect that to happen.

[@susannak1755]

Same I can barely hold my breath for 2 mins.. and I can barely dive 100ft or 30meters (horizontally hahah) but I'm always dreaming of going deeper and deeper into that deep blue.

[@thecatcher20]

The definition of a relationship between a man and the ocean!

[@rossakabossakarozay]

No fins, no mask, no panic. Exquisite.

[@MartinHollowayDiverTaz]

Words fail me !! I dream of being able to do that, I'm a dive instructor and you have made my heart sing with joy !! The "thing" on him nose is so he does not have to use his hand to equalize, and NO there are no tubes connected to an air supply. Dude you are a LEGEND in my eyes !!

[@josegarciaramirez4535]

I found this video by chance couple of years ago. I come back to it again and again. Always as fresh as 1st time. I occassionally freedive myself for some years now and I have watched tones of freediving videos so far. I love the idea and feelings this video conveys. Each time I watch it I feel like taking 1st flight away from here and into the see. Thanks so much !

[@manaakitupaea]

This looks like it would be the best feeling in the world!

[@YamanUmuroglu]

this is sublime...this is why there is "free" in "freediving" ! ...congratulations!

[@micahmatthews9506]

Dude.... I thought I was the only one who felt that while freediving. I am so happy with your work. You inspired me when I first started training, and I can now hold my breath as long as you did in the video and have dove as deep. Thanks for doing it and don't listen to the trolls, not all of them are informed enough to make a comment worth reading in my opinion.

[@lucky1205100]

Although this video is not technically, but still aesthetically perfect! One would like to communicate themselves. Submerge, the feeling ... .... to die for! To be with her ​​sweetheart, the one has lost in infinite depth!

[@SpiderCenturion]

This is a classic video. Watched it years ago...still just as good!!

[@user-ib3dz9br9w]

Таинство! Простым людям не понять, не постигнуть, не поверить.

[@Agora2021]

That was very peaceful to watch. The music was great too.

[@Hunting4TheLight]

one of the most beautiful videos on youtube....One word,MAGIC !

[@manaakitupaea]

This should have 1,000,000 + views!

[@antonkruger]

Thanks, this video is a gift. It's responsible for getting me into free diving and discovering a new world.

[@beverlyhillsbelair77]

this is very well done ,the camerawork is topquality,nice to see basic freediving

[@AndyMatalo]

Definatley one of the top 3 freediving videos with Trubridge's at dahab and Nery's at Dean's. Congrats on music, fluidity and shots.

[@kritonas]

Watched this tenths of times today. I wonder what's there not to like.

[@libamanlicking]

amazing !!!!!!!!!!!! lots of training.these ppl should be admired RESPECT!

[@JBPILEGGI]

same here , used to smoke over a pack a day until i learned about free diving and thus Stopped smoking and now have just started breathing exercises and learning static apnea. My 1st week of no smoking i was able to hold my breath for over 2mins which I know is not much for some of you but for me it was unbelievable...so now I'm hooked and can't get enough. Great vid

[@Fooballfreak12]

Wow. I can't wait to learn to freedive.

[@Supremofriiki]

Best thing in the world... 100% recommended i the world,mto know and understand yourself

[@earisan]

This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It must feel absolutely divine down there. Goosebumps. Seriously. Congrats..

[@SubacuaticasUdeA]

Que buena sensacion la queda este video... CALMA TOTAL...

[@lifepresent3183]

This takes my mind off of the troubles in life. Thanks for this. I can see that's a world I'm going to uncover for myself.

[@pletwaisza]

[@oriongazer38]

Amazing and peaceful. ... Thank you

[@pawelrogoz972]

I've never tried, but I know for sure, I love it

[@boardluva108]

I am getting my "A" license this coming summer in high hopes to become a wing suit pilot. Your video is BEAUTIFUL and I wish you and you husband all the best in future endeavors!! I love the saying "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure" by Marianne Williamson also made famous by Mr. Nelson Mandela. Don't let fear keep you from living! Channel it and use it to do your best!! Thanks again!!! :D

[@Orchydee64]

so beautiful !!!

[@TheHeavensSpear]

oh my God...emotional is an understatement. I got a lump. I will do this before I die...hell I might die doing this! But I will have lived in those last moments

[@maurizianegri1]

.......è come volare ,meraviglia ,grazie,pace a te

[@JKarle]

This perfectly captures what freediving means to me! Wonderful, thank you!

[@harry346471655]

This is amazing. Absolutly freedom.

[@joaofilipecosta]

Well done, what a great freediving video and soundtrack. Very inspiring. It's one of my top favorites. To replay over and over.

[@WeBeYachting]

Great video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.

[@MattsManns]

The greatest time within the greatest element I can imagine.... ❤️✌🏼

[@brunedeezy]

Why the hell doesnt this have millions of hits?

[@MermaidLinden]

Beautifully done, gentlemen!

[@KevinandCorrie]

lol that's actually what the free-diver from this video said to me when I met him at the Ocean Film Festival a couple of weeks ago. I guess I should have prefaced my comment by saying it's as close to flying as I'LL ever get...I have no desire to sky dive of any sort. And my husband introduced me to the wonderful world of base jumping via youtube shortly after that one guy smashed into a bridge. Super cool, but not something I will ever experience :D Corrie

[@TehFoxit]

I saw this at Filmkraft, and as soon as I came home I found it on youtube, but then u made it private, and uploaded it again.. I'm just so happy to see it here :)

[@jari13]

Loved this. I´m breathtaken at the moment.

[@lucky1205100]

This video gives the impression that it was produced in a single dive. However, many attempts have been made until the video was complete. However, the overall result is aesthetically perfect. Thumbs up!

[@Meraadj]

How can you tell multiple dives were made?

[@TheSweetKnife]

Well yes there can be many shots taken to get it good ecstatically, but it's not like freedivers can't hold their breaths throughtout the video.. because that they can do.

[@lorisgraf8804]

ECB Prod I dont think freedivers can hold their breath for such a long dive, that's also got a bit of acrobacy and swimming in it. I think there were more than one attempt

[@lukasz.domanski]

Loris Graf yes, there were more attempts (see the description). World record in static breath hold is over 11 minutes but as he needs to release some air during the dive it would be very, very difficult to record it in one go. Nomatter of that it is probably still possible for top-freedivers :)

[@JohnFarmakis]

I am 18 years old i am 100kilos and I have the terrible habbit of smoking !! i love sea ! I want to leave in the sea !! But i dont have this opportunity ! From now on i quit smoking and start exercise by body ! I hope to be like you one day ! Thanks for this video !

[@jon4506]

Captures everything it means

[@downdeep35]

Awesome----so emotional and serene!!!!!

[@steph6850]

This has to be the most mind blowing films I’ve ever watched. Everything about it was magical, felt such peacefulness and this is coming from someone who fears the ocean. Kinda cured my fear lol. My favorite vid of all time !

[@annamariedannehl5971]

There a video called "around the ocean in one breath" I think, and it was such an amazing video! I strongly suggest watching it! It was absolutely stunning

[@kvlTree]

watched this while listening to blade runner's Rachel's Song n it was a divine experience :) blown away, this is inspiring.

[@JuanSanchez-rk6ox]

Amazing video. One day I will learn to hold my breath as long as he does.

[@TheNeznaniJunak]

freediving is one of best things you can experience in your life...

[@crankatorium]

decompression sickness is something that you get if you stay deep for an extended period of time without doing decompression stops to allow the bubbles to fizz out of you blood stream properly. holding your breath and descending should not be a problem, it is ascending while holding your breath is what's dangerous. as you rise up, the air in your lung expands and can cause injury if you're not expelling the air.

[@LivingDreams2012]

Brilliant!! Keep up the good work guys!!

[@supertec07]

super amazing! worth something of a bit coin. on its way.

[@cocliosttro]

I love the video.I love the music behind it. I am bodybuilding but waching this video makes me to be better and work harder as this dude in this video.Dedication and power of will!

[@lindamclaughlinjohnson]

No better place in the world to be than under the Sea. I speak from experience...

[@dudeofshutter]

Great work! thanks for sharing

[@scrcouto]

Show! The Best !

[@SatyrosJayIronHorse]

Sometimes it's better down there.

[@hxneyplays6122]

*all of the time.

[@JBPILEGGI]

will do. Been reading up on all the safety involved in the sport. I can't do wet statics now as I am deployed in Afghanistan. Good job on quitting smoking bro. Take care

[@maros1974]

excellent piece !

[@DrChrisBiomed]

Also, with more muscle mass you increase your body's minimum energy requirments (basal metabolic rate) wich helps to reduce the amount of fat even further. To sum it up you need to follow these steps to get lean: -Increase muscle mass (increases your basal metabolic rate) -eat at least 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day -increase your daily energy expenditure by walking an hour a day or more -reduce energy intake -get a good nights sleep (reduces cortisol levels)

[@guybaldridge9724]

The feeling is unlike any you will ever experience / don't do this without instruction and an OK from your doctor, but by all means do it it changes you ;)

[@Stargaze79]

The only real meditation! The only true freedom!

[@DrChrisBiomed]

That's exactly what it does. It's a common misconception that cardio sports are the way to go to shed excess fat, yet if your heart rate is above ca 75% your body burns the sugars stored in your muscles and liver (the glycogen) instead of the fat, wich is a small amount of short term energy. Fat-burning occurs when your heart rate is below 75% (walking, riding a bike slowly, weightlifting etc unless you're super trained and can run). Compare a 100m sprinter with a marathon runners body.

[@Josef87J]

I read the whole thing & I just realized that they wrote the depth. I never noticed that!

[@WeightlessEmotions]

@deeassgt The music is composed specially to this video by me (Toni). So it's only available in this video. If enough people are interested in the music I might make a seperate full length song or extract the soundtrack as a bonus :-) You can subscribe to our channel for future info.

[@Oleg-ci9bj]

So awesome.

[@bdix1985]

Incredible!!!!!

[@jeechun]

Great! Respect for the music as well. :)

[@niallnf]

Incredible!

[@Bawby]

I love freediving! one of my favorite things to do. I just need to hold my breath for longer periods of time, how do you do it!?!? i can hold my breath for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

[@Arsen1c42]

he's like COME AT ME BRO to the entire ocean...

[@VascoDuarteAbranches]

Loved your movie!

[@andrewshelly4542]

i only kinda enjoyed this video at first right up until about 2 minutes in when i relized i was holding my breath. :-) Great video keep it up

[@kaeolandon-lane3429]

This is the kind of creation I dream of making a youtube career out of.

[@XtraTimeProd]

Just one word- Magical.. Too bad for us you are not uploading more stuffs like these. :)

[@matriz_83]

You guys are amazing! this is truly...breathtaking!

[@teresacapeto4571]

IN LOVE .... simply IN LOVE.

[@ikravchik]

Freediving is definitely part meditation part art.

[@EnautP]

The story is beautiful. That video has landed straight into my Facebook. Oh yeah.

[@MichaelMaesFilm]

wonderfully made, both freediver as videographer!

[@Lil2Ghost]

put "now were free" in the background and see the magic unfold

[@crankatorium]

AYO, I stopped smoking to improve my free diving as well. exactly the same amount, about a pack a day. I can hold my breath underwater for just a little over 2 minutes now. wet static is very different from dry statics. and be sure to have a friend watching over you when you do them.

[@DrHeru-ub3xq]

Where is the million like button ? I don't have words to say anymore !

[@KAIZENFREEDIVING]

It is insane video! I think it helps to show the World the beauty of Freediving a lot! The only one question? why no more videos like that from you guys....

[@pyroman123100]

wow he is a professional freediver!!

[@GreenWaterStudio]

He flying like a Neo in MATRIX...i love watch'it!!!

[@dpapapa]

Красота !!!!

[@alexsotirakis]
