- Part of the fear of heights is that mad desire to jump from them.
Alenka Artnik is a Slovenian world record holding freediver, and the deepest female with a monofin: she has dived on breath-hold to 122 meters. Only a few days after that historic dive, we filmed this exploration of the strange desire to jump whenever we find ourselves at a great height. Turns out we'd both had dreams where we did just that, and we both experienced that in water, you can give into it.
This was filmed at Deans' Blue Hole in the Bahamas, which is 200 meters deep, enough to give anyone vertigo. Florian Burghardt kept us safe and helped with all kinds of things behind the scenes. The music is 'Revelations' by Tristan Barton.

#vertigo #freediving
i was many many years old when today i learned that vertigo isn't actually the fear of heights, but that feeling of not knowing what's up or down. Fear of heights is called 'acrophobia' - wish i'd known that before i made the thumbnail...
I only know vertigo as a state of feeling very dizzy.
I've experienced it once during a ascent from a scuba dive. I knew from reference of my team and through training that my body position was horizontal and stable but my body was telling me I was going through a rollercoaster very quickly. I recognised what was happening (this can happen when there's a pressure difference in the inner ear) and it was sort of mind over matter at that point. After a while it subsided and I was able to continue the ascent.
I'm not very fond of heights either and drop-offs during scuba diving give me a funny feeling too.
I can see how people with a stronger response than me with being high up (or even better having nothing underneath them) will make them feel disorienting or dizzy or maybe even extreme dizzy like the physically caused vertigo.
@@R_T_HEIDE that sounds petrifying! happened to a friend of mine who burst his eardrum; all he could do was grab the dive line and follow that up.
It was more of a surprise, I had enough air with me and it happened on the shallow part of the dive so that wasn't a problem either. That's the part of freediving I'm hesitant about, not having enough gas with me 😅 Now there's a scary situation.
"Vertigo" is just dizziness. Acrophobia can lead to it, but it's not a fear of heights, as most people think.

this is the best underwater video in the world, kudos to the cameraman and especially to the lady
Thank you! Check out 'one breath around the world' by Guillaume Néry,; that's my favourite
@@DaanVerhoeven tha is for mentioning that one. It popped up after seeing this one. That's on another level
Ничего себе там глубоко! Красиво и страшно одновременно.
Thank you!
Красиво ! Фантастика😅космос!🫶
Бояться не стоит , даже в смерти лишь освобождение
Да, страшненько.

I have never been close to experience anything like this, and I most likely never will, unfortunately. But watching this, I feel a primal attraction, a longing... but also a primal fear, for standing right at the edge of the abyss and letting go. It is so beautiful and peaceful, and yet so dangerous. Fantastic work! Thank you for showing us the depths!
Thank you, that was a lovely comment to read!
Я не знаю что написать потому что не знаю зачем вы это делаете. Когда смотришь дух захватывает.👍
I drowned when I was watching...
sorry bout that
😂😂😂😂,you mada me open her Page 😂😂😂
😂😅😂😂 kinda still holding my breath.
Many times!
My next door neighbor friend was into cave diving. As we became adults and moved away from each other, I’d see her rarely during hometown visits. But one year recently I hadn’t seen or heard from her for awhile. Her brother let me know she drowned during a cave diving trip. Either got stuck or lost and ran out of air. Her swim partner found her. Scary way to go out.
sorry to read that - cave diving is very specialised, very tricky. I couldn't do that, i think.
Amazing and frightening at the same time!
Yes, it was like that filming it, too
One of my worst nightmares : deep dark water.
Oh but it’s so lovely in there
“Fear and desire are oposite impulses” even though you can fear what you desire and you can desire what you fear.
It’s not only the footages that inspire me, is what you say. Thank you for such a beautiful work.
our pleasure - glad you liked it
This reminds me of when I lucid dream, very nice❤️❤️
it's very much based on that, yes!
Brilliant work👏🏻👏🏻
You filmed these moments perfectly that I felt like I was Alenka😌
I adore diving and underwater world so this was something what made my day after watching.
Keep on in your work and dreams because we all worldwide enjoy in products of it👏🏻✔️
Greetings from Croatia ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it Lionne!
I was a commercial diver for 22 years and i must say the drop into the job is the best part.
all about that freefall
सलाम है आप लोगों को आप इतने गहरे पानी में जाने के लिए हिम्मत कहां से लाते हो मुझे भी बता दो मैं भी गहरे पानी में जाना चाहता हूं
first you learn to swim in shallow water, then in deep water, then you take a freediving course, and slowly progress from there
Just magic 😍🥰So so beautiful...I'm constantly flying in my dreams ....swimming is the closest thing to it 🌊Tyty💖
i love flying dreams!
Super GREAT Girl!! Share in VK
Amazing job you guys! It is such a joy seeing the final project. It was fun getting some training in that day and watching you guys work your magic. :)
Thank you Rachel!
You have no idea how much joy in my heart and soul your videos give me, they capture every moment and every feeling about freediving. Thank you for all your hard work that goes into making these short films.
That's so nice to read, thank you Jay!!
❤👏
How lovely! As a scuba diver, I relate deeply to this. You have put, so eloquently, the feeling I have felt for years! Thank you!
i'm so glad to read other people share this madness!
My fears dissolves in water, That’s trueeeeee 💙
@@enpasionarte I sometimes almost completely dissolve in water
Que Coragem desta mulher...da empressao de estar num vazio...sem ninguém por perto...Parabéns girl...Brazilian
obrigado!
На сколько она задерживает дыхание?Это удивительно!❤
She can hold her breath for a few minutes, she’s a world record holding freediver
Amazing 😍
Thank you!
Wow
The darkness get me
Scary!
@@giselletdc1871 right? Also it’s so interesting that we project our fears into the darkness
Vertical dissolves in water! This captures me ❤ Agree👍👍👍
horizontal sometimes too😉
This video is a nightmare for me. I even avoid video games which has underwater missions
@@Blackfish-1 I know what you mean! I used to play Alex Kidd and it had a wicked difficult underwater level
"Fear and desires are opposite" well said🙏🏻
Thank you - not an entirely original thought of mine, but i liked exploring it
Девушка, хоть воздух бы с собой взяла, зрители уже дышать не могут пока на тебя смотрят
hahaha, different sport!
Breathtaking! I found myself holding my breath with her. Haha! Gorgeous filmography, editing, music, and of course the two main characters- the swimmer, and the ocean. ♥️ Wonderful work Daan.
Thank you Andréa - so glad you liked it!
@@DaanVerhoeven 😊
👍
Але ж усё роўна - Шалёная дзяўчынка
Quite mesmerising, struggle to hold my breath fir the length of video, less alone much much more.
Same here! Luckily we filmed it in little chunks
Expectaculo
This work was so well done that I lost touch with the fact that she was holding her breath the entire time. The duration of that held breath alone is already a dream in itself.
That's so nice to read - exactly what we were going after!
Why do i feel like Gal Gadot whispering in my ears....😅😅😅😅
@@Batega_Toh_Katega--HINDU right? Not only is she a world record holder, she also has a great voice
I’m mostly impressed with how long she’s been holding her breath
she's very impressive!
Ужас ужасный! Никогда я бы не хотела попасть в эту бездну!!!!! Завидую отважным сердцам!❤️
Hahaha, yes, it’s not for everyone
👍🏻
👌🏽
Technically speaking "Acrophobia" is the intense fear of heights, "Vertigo" is the subjective feeling of spinning around a vertical axis which induces nausea and vomit, and "Dizziness" is a subjective sensation of unsteadiness or postural unstability but less severe than "vertigo" 😁🙏👍🤓
Found that out about 1 minute after I published the video - hence the pinned comment.
Wow I can't believe she held her breathe that long
world champion - she's a bit special
Vertigo is not fear of heights. Acrophobia is fear of heights.
Vertigo is when everything around you feels like it is spinning -
Yes, see pinned comment. Wish I had known that when I made the video!
What a masterpiece!
Brilliant work.
Thank you Edo, that's very kind of you to say!
In wie vielen Sequenzen wurde das gefilmt? Ich finde das total geil! 😍
Magisch
Magical
Μαγικό
👌
Thank you! Danke! Gracias!
estar en ese lugar ..es. COMO abrasar ala muerte es como..reír con la muerte😱
haha, yes, it's a bit of a scary place initially, but then it's so beautiful!
First video of yours I've seen, but this is beyond beautiful and breathtaking. The storytelling behind how many great things in life involve falling, like falling in love, was amazing. ❤
Thank you Izzy, that's kind of you to say
Guillaume Nery base jumping at Dean's Blue Hole - that's the master piece.
And this video is just swimming.
@@PozitivMC the real masterpiece there is the camerawork by Julie Gautier
I am amazed at how long some people can hold their breath
same here!
IKR! 60-90 seconds for me.
Hyper Ventilation makes it possible
great all comments are replied🙂
I do try - some comments I don't know what to do with
Fantastic story and amazing visuals. Compliments to the both of you ;-)
Thank you Ed!
How can't she breathe so much time...?
she's a professional freediver, she trains breath holding a lot
It was a fantastic watch & listen Daan.
Thanks & best wishes to you & Alenka as you move forwards.
Thank you!
Insane breatholding
she's amazing!
Extraordinarias tomas, de arte incluso en el riesgo. Congratuleitions.
Thank you!
Кажется я там видел акулу... может показалось, но что-то там точно было в глубинке!
That would be lovely - I love diving with sharks
Завораживааеееет🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
What is the depth you dived in in this video?
that ledge is about 18 meters deep
Это просто потрясающе красиво и потрясающе страшно! Можно узнать что это за место такое?? Это пещера в океане, где это такое? Что за глубокая дыра?
It’s called Deans blue hole, it’s in the Bahamas
A few years ago, I randomly discovered freediving, after never thinking about it for a second in my life, and it has been one of those singular things I've wanted to do the most, out of everything I haven't attempted yet.
Whenever it's hard to believe in this experience, I'll sometimes watch this video and it gives me the trust in our world, that there will always be extraordinary things to discover and do.
So much of the human experience-desire, curiosity, adventure, discovery-is beautifully captured in just 3 1/2 minutes. Many thanks!
yes, life is full of wonder, not just out there, but also in your mind. I'm often surprised about the things that pop up when I'm holding my breath
Its not height I'm scared of, it's depths! Only joking. I am scared of going up ladders, onto high buildings, up spiral staircase within an old castle. The fear if I can call it that starts to create a disconnection from the real world and logic. It's as though I am going to die, if I keep getting higher? Sometimes I have challenged myself, like on Striding Edge or Jacks Rake - and afterwards its like a new way of being, as though its a different person? But the feeling of apprehension never goes away. ruclips.net/video/iMwe1TLko1s/видео.html
i know what you mean - logic and sense seem to disappear.
Thanks, Daan. Absolutely amazing!
Glad you liked it!
sprtive and artific masterpiece! THX, a diving musician
Pleasure to read - keep diving and composing!
I love this aquatic poetry. Wonderful!
What a lovely way of putting it!
VERY cool 😸
Thank you!
That dream of flying freely is one of my favorites and the reason why I love to swim and dive so much ! In water you can fly ! 💞💞💞
same here!
Snorkeling our Great Barrier Reef feels like flying for me..does that count? 🦘🤿😘🧜♀️
absolutely!
Wow! What a film! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
"VERTIGO" korean language means "Withstand"
How interesting!
It‘s like from outer space, stunning and beautiful.
Thank you!
@@DaanVerhoeven we thank you for taking us into this wonderful and fascinating world.
this video is absolutely terrifying. but made me release that i too desire the things that i fear.
i would love to scuba dive but scared of going under water.
i would love to sky dive but scared of heights.
i think i could put a desire with any of my fears, come to think about it.
interesting, i shall have a think about this and work out which is stronger, desire or fear.
I still fear water, but have moved towards desire so much that the fear is now just an interesting undertone, a spice that livens things up
What a beautiful peace of art! Loved it!
Thank you Quenie - glad to read that!
I wish I were you amazing experience 😍😍😍😍
you can train this - take a freediving course!
Come sempre emozionante
💙
Интересно как ей без кислорода?? В неестесственной среде
She has plenty of oxygen: in her lungs and her blood, enough to last minutes
That was so incredibly amazing! I have goosebumps!💕👌🏼
Thank you Sarah, glad you liked it!
Hello 👋 beautiful video
Thank you Riyad!
Oh my goodness, you have touched on something that I have struggled with my whole life -- that insane voice in my head that says: "Jump". When I walk over a bridge or along a cliff over the ocean, I ask my partner to hold my hand and not let go because I am afraid that I will jump. On the one hand, I recognize it as a fear of losing control of my life. On the other hand, one of my dreams is to fly like a bird in their three dimensional world. Not many people understand that "insane voice" but you got it.
apparently, the French call it "l'appel du vide" - the call of the void. Common enough to have a name then, be it in French. We are not alone - let's all meet on a bridge in Paris and try not to jump.
Yeah, I hate it. part of me inching towards the edge, part of me in fear clawing at the ground to stop myself. hate it, hate it hate it.
Excellent how long you can hold your breath🥈🏅🥉🥇🥉🏅🥈🏅🥉🥇
Alenka can hold her breath for over 6 minutes
I saw quite a lot of people having different opinion on FB but I don’t know why I’ve a feeling that you would pick the first pic for your thumbnail and you eventually did!
Such a great piece of work again! Can’t wait to visit Dean’s blue hole and bump into you guys in Vertical blue someday!
It was Alenka's choice - i was leaning to the second pic but i did like this one as well
@@DaanVerhoeven ooops😅 I guess I got some connection with Alenka not you then 😂
@@MyKoKo hahaha, you two is like besties!
Там очень страшно. И много вопросов: "Как..?." Очень красиво!
She’s a professional freediver
Ok I am a SCUBA Diver. However, when I am in water I feel the great fascination. I love using this three-dimensional space. The different perspectives I can take under water is just outstanding. It is not the fishes and wrecks and other things that satisfies me though. I feel the deeply connected to the ocean- under water even ten times more.
I recognise that feeling!
Same here. I was diving off the coast of Mauritius some years back where the seabed disappears into an inky blackness, an abyss that was terrifying and inviting at the same time. No small fish, of which there were thousands, would swim out over that edge so, I took the hint. A whole new set of emotions, often conflicting but, made me feel more alive than ever.
This would scare the bejeezus out of me!
Being underwater without full lungs of air you don't float but have to swim hard to get back up to the surface!
I would have pooped myself multiple times if I was making this film!! 💩😱😄
Hahaha, feeding the fishes, we call that!
Я люблю море, люблю глубину, это просто фантастика, опускаться в пучину, цвета меняются. Достигнув дна и оперевшись, понимаешь, теперь путь наверх, летишь наверх, смотришь в небо через воду и тянешься к воздуху. Глоток воздуха и жить хочется после красоты падения вниз и возвращения обратно. Всём здоровья добра.
Exactly!
@@DaanVerhoeven приятно общаться с понимающим человеком
А если не хватит воздуха?
@@dlr759 тогда это печалька
@@ЮрийСивак-б8ц действительно, печально ))
The underwater environment is magical, and the likeness to flying is awesome, and flying hang gliders is very similar with a different set of constraints, and normally speed, unless you are flying a helicopter, which is magical in its own right, like being a few feet off the ground, yet not going anywhere, but flying as if you were underwater.
I love the flying bit - but helicopters make me nervous
I have acrophobia so I have to say that was well thought out and performed. You added a whole new perspective to the whole thought process. Thank you
Thank you; i think i have a mild version of it - you should see me on a ledge!
Nem fudendo que eu ficava aí. JÁ imaginava um bicho pré histórico saindo desse buraco e me engolindo
it's fascinating how we project our fears into deep water
Hi Daan Verhoeven, :D I had depression and you helped me soo much! Thank you! I can always see your videos
so glad to be of help - thank you for letting me know!
I watched 11 seconds and am already terrified, should i go on
Yes of course! Everything will be fine
Wish I could freedive like that! All my dives are way shorter.
it takes some training, but you can certainly get there!
What a fuck crazy place man... greate diving, very beautefull
Thank you - that place is completely bonkers and incredible!
Очень интересный опыт
That would have been impeccable if no diving mask had been worn.
fair point - i made a maskless thing here, but it's very risky: ruclips.net/video/Ol9fCPC4GWQ/видео.html
What about thalassophobia? Does this phobia only occure when outside of water?
that can happen in water, too
Медленно спускаться в морскую бездну и наслождаца процессом что может быть лучше океан это релакс
totally agreed!
A lot of people seem to have those dreams of flying. I was s scared at first as you take crazily. Weird. Then you get use to the speed.
i love that sensation of speed, and effortlessness
wow i love DIVER'S but how she breathing?
We filmed and did it all on breath hold - she's a freediving world record holder
👍✌️🐬
💙🧜🏼♀️
Так долго не дышать и еще двигаться!!! 😮
she's a very well trained athlete - and we did a lot of takes
Nice one
Thank you!
Waouuuu 🎉thanks ❤
our pleasure!
The ocean is a mysterious place that's why im afraid of the ocean not knowing what's down there
but what if there's something really nice down there?
