Free diving is a sport that is both remarkable and dangerous. What intrigues you the most about Guillaume Néry's dive?
Danger always beautiful. Like a star.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Is he wearing a thong? 😁
He sure makes it look and feel so easy peasy
Wow! I love swimming under the surface! I felt I was swimming with Guillaume, wonderful, only after a while I had to breathe and I never saw him go up and breathe...thank you for this fantastic short film 💖
Just one question..did he do all these in a single breath!
If this is what a free diver can do, imagine a paid one.
My God
Wakka wakka!
😭😭😭
Dad joke
😂 😭🤣
This is how my parents claim they travelled to school everyday
Mikołaj Henzel this deserves more likes lmao
😂😂😂
Mikołaj Henzel 😂😂😂😂👌🏼
*grandparents
facts
respect to the cameraman for diving with him
Camera woman: its his wife that films him, she is also freediving while she does.
Nah the ending is beautiful how he comes back up to his world and all these people have no clue what he just experienced right under them … this was incredible
I was breathing for him during the video.
Did you die
@@davidmolyneux9676 All fine thx
very good!!!!
I was feeling the pain in my lungs for him...they were on the verge of bursting i.e.imploding
wow, you took my breath away...
This looks like a peaceful nightmare to me.
It made me anxious they showed him so deep, and never taking a breath too.
I like that..well put
Indeed.
Thats just it. The ocean is just a peaceful nightmare. Beautiful and yet terrifying and thats the exact reason i love it to death.
@@stephaniemitchell8509 same. I couldn't really enjoy the video because of this lol
The scene diving with the whales just blew me away. I’ve never seen anything so compelling, terrifying and beautiful in my life. And the climax of the music which was perfectly suited for it just wow 😳🤯
Beautiful but also terrifying! Being an OPEN water scuba diver, I found myself having a hard time breathing while watching him swim in tight spots and also under the ice, which is one of my biggest fears, getting trapped. Job well done 👏🏼
You think it's real 🙄
I don't think you are supposed to breath when your diving!
whoever is watching this, please breathe. he's underwater, you're not
Thanx. I had forgotten to breath until I saw this comment.
Oke. Exactly what i feel.. cant breath..
Breathless... 😂
I was thinking the same dear😁😁😁😎
Hahaha tewew vaklang twa 😂
Nobody gonna talk about the insane pressure he was probably feeling being that deep down?
Dude that’s what I was thinking, my head explodes just from only 9 feet down
It's a lot of pressure.
No. Divers do this trick where they hold their nose and blow out and that causes the pressure to not affect them or something like that
@@MarshallAcosta yup
@@MarshallAcosta we call it equalization.
This is amazingly beautiful and absolutely terrifying at the same time. The exact feeling I get when I think about space. It's amazing how similar are the emotions that these two vastly apart worlds make you feel.
It's because "space" and ocean are one in the same.
It looks so fun!
I find space more terrifying. The diver looks in control. In space you start moving in one direction and just keep going.
@watermelonlover745 And please DON'T forget terribly frightening too. 🫣😂😂
@@angelajohnson1882 that's what makes it amazing 😍
This is when you use words like amazing,incredible,unimaginable, or unbelievably. This was beautiful.
He is underwater & somehow it feels like i'm SUFFOCATING
Same here!!!!
Thank you
You have strong empathy
Yes! I had to skip ahead
Gosh I know.
2:41 Walking underwater is like running away from someone in nightmare
it me ;c
omg i thought i was the only one
I was thinking the same thing!
U got me there...
this is exactly me,
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!😮
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)
@@st4rryni1ghts Great point! The fact that they have that power and don’t choose to use it is unreal. Unlike humans..
As a Freediver since 15 years, thats what i love about it, the freedom under the water and the silence.
Do you have a small air tank or do you actually hold you breath that long?
@@spiritboxyxbox we dont use small tanks, its alot of practice in safe and its still dangerous, yes.
I wanted him to go up for air the whole time
Me too. lol
same
I thought he did during each cut
Ikr how is he still alive?
@@hoodieguy295 freedivers have ridiculous lungs, ans they train to go under that long.
One guy said on average they can hold their breath like 8 minutes at a time?
You can tell this guy is a legit superhero by the way he is wearing his underwear on the outside.
Yea whats that about
Is it a thong?
Lol
yeah gotta say i was distracted by that suit the whole video
😂😂😂
Every year I come back to this video. It's a masterpiece.
This is the first time I've seen a free diver without fins, and the part with the whales was amazing!
This guy takes a breath before he sleeps.
Eight hours later, he wakes up and exhales.
😂
You got corona on your name
@@143platonicly C O M E D Y
hahaha you stole the show here bro
🤣🤣
I have asthma and my brain absolutely cannot comprehend this.
I’m deceased
Lmao same
same!
Yesss samere
flo so hobo bro i have thalassophobia..
I could never imagine that a human being could do that. That's so scared to watch and incredible at the same time. It's crazy !
This is truly "breathtaking" ... This is honestly one of the most exciting, daring, unique 13 minutes of film I've ever seen. This is legendary and I hope many people experience your vision. I know I'd be scared to death, even with the fact that I was a competitive swimmer in my youth.
Oxygen: Am I a Joke to you?
😂😂
No that would be laughing gas 😁
Melvyn Joseph who will be 999 and 1000 - countdown
Thank you guys for 1k likes. Appreciate it.
In case you were wondering he does get his air and probably from the camera crew that stays with him carefully all the way through. He also may even pop up for air every now and then off screen.
I kept thinking to myself "so, when are we going up for air?"
Never
He died
Same
@@tonymontana5079 😂😂
During the cuts
This is without a doubt one of the most breathtaking videos I've ever watched. He's the real "Aquaman" and his wife doing the camerawork.... no words. Blown away!
The scene diving with the whales just blew me away. I’ve never seen anything so compelling, terrifying and beautiful in my life. And the climax of the music which was perfectly suited for it just wow
So apparently his wife was the one filming him and she was also free diving!! Mad respect
But you can hear the scuba tanks at points in the video.... Lol
diver: "this video is gonna show people a wonderful and exciting new experience."
wife: "you know what would make this video REALLY awesome? if you wore my underwear."
diver: ".........."
wife: "i'll empty the dishwasher for a month."
diver: "*sigh*....hand 'em here."
Michael Knox 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yip, he also borrowed one of his wife’s thongs
i guess we know who wears the thong in this relationship
Sharks be like
"Another human?"
"Nah, that's Guillaume"
"Oh, ok"
XD What's A Guillaume?? 🤔😶
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 wHo is Gulliaume, you mean. It's free diver's name...
LMFAO idk why but I died at the oh ok part
@@diko1061 Who??
@Donald Trump If black peole can't swim? why is it that whenever slaves were put to death by putting them in deep waters to drown but instead they either just pretended to (drown) but instead just swam away...
...Why's that then if blacks can't swim??
Every single thing about this video is extremely impressive.
Somehow this reminds me how small we are compared to nature. This guy understands it and respects it.
Aquaman: I'm Aquaman
This guy: Hold my breath
Daryll Cartin you win lol
Lmao i choked
*hold my oxygen*
Seriously why he ain't dead yet?
@D Haha I think she meant from lack of oxygen
If a free diver can do all of this, imagine what a paying one could achieve............
Haha, nice joke.
MrRetlav 😂🤣😭
free diver means without external oxygen. But good try
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Peto111222 r/wooosh
Simply one of the most beautiful, amazing and spectacular things I’ve even seen put to film.
Breathtaking.
This is a glimpse in how small we really are. This isnt just art this is a masterpiece.
When he's running underwater, that looks exactly like my nightmares. I lean forward and push hard, yet moving so slowly
tubiak1 I have the same dream!!!!
Your dreams are really underwater.
tubiak1 I'm flying in my dreAms but it looks and feels like what he's doing under water. The exploration.
tubiak1 Many of us share that dream. I wonder why?
Same here.
Arthur : I'm the Aquaman
Guillaume : hold my thong
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Or...
Arthur: l’m the Aquman.
Guillaume: Here, hold my breath.
***And give me that rock
looool
"Utterly fascinating, mesmerizing"; this truly takes your breath away. This is nothing short of a wonder to behold
This is something beyond this world.. excellence at its best..i was in awe of the scenes captured whole time..
How he runs underwater is how I feel when I run from a monster in my dreams.
Trueee
I hate that so much, its like almost being dragged but not quite
This was so relatable i actually screamed YES out loud
feel yah
Not supposed to run face the fear trust me
"Julie Gautier, Néry’s wife, filmed the piece while free diving as well." Isn't that so precious?
Are you serious?...no way? Wow
Your Right! Awesome
Mad respect
Do they have kids? They must have mutated and developed the gills.
She was gathering video evidence that he stole her bikini bottom.
The only difference is she had her thong under her suit
I am speechless and afraid as well...can't describe the feeling of horror and thrill while watching...salute to all the team
Truly incredible the footage with the whales alone was breath taking but just the intelligent and artistic way in which this was filmed makes it a masterpiece.
He needs a Netflix documentary about his free diving...that was remarkable
id watch it
abrodey same, like 10x over 😂
" Our planete " on Netflix
He has a ted talk
@Jack Hack no that would be in a different documentary
It's like flying but no breathing allowed.
EmviloriamE it’s like... swimming?
The Fat Vegan 😂😂
@@thefatvegan5008 yep. Which is like flying but in the water.😂
Peyton Bell its like... swimming?
@@spermchef2731 which is like flying but in the water.
As a free diver coming out the ocean to the crowd on the beach brings back memories more so when i first started. You cant believe theres a whole other world out there!
I love free diving, but I have never went so deep under water like him. But hats off for this person.
this guy is there just visiting the lost city of atlantis while everyone here is talking about his suit haha
Omg right? Humans are finicky AF.
I was thinkinh the same thing
And anyway I imagine it looks like that because diving 101 says the places you lose body heat the quickest underwater are your head, feet, armpits and GROIN.
It’s a wrid suit but it’s true
Exactly 😭
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THAT UNDERWATER BEACH LIKE WHERE IS THIS PLACE??????
a dlfr right!
I think its where salt water & fresh water meet. There densities create a barrier....I can only imagine the horror trying swim up for breath but realizing you have an entire next level of water to traverse.
.
a dlfr that’s what I’m saying
err, spongebob
I thank national geographic and this awsome free diver by bringing us to places most of us would or could never imagine. Thank you so much for this glimpse into another realm.
Stunning and absolutely terrifying all at once! Whales are such gentle and tolerant creatures. After all that magic what a disappointment to be back in the open air. Thank you for this gift.
The ocean is like an entirely different world
😜
Earth ppl water ppl👀what if
It’s literally 70% of the earth & we’ve discovered less than 5% of it there’s so much we don’t know.
MarlboroMan it is
MarlboroMan yeah, it’s called the water world... duh
This is NOT a free diver... ITS A FREAKING MERMAID
YeahOkBuddy merman lol
Hahahahaha
@@angelabay-jespersen6205 aquaman hopefully
triton
With a thong on LMAO
You know when you've got to the end of a day and feel it was all worthwhile
That shot from below surfacing whales is one of the most fantastical real-world images I've ever seen.
8:53
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
You cant get down to such depths without special gear so he is fine
@Erdoğan Keleş but it's dark
This comment scared me
That's scary mate and true
this is a kind of air poisoning in scuba tanks
Every 5 seconds im like, ok time to go up now buddy, but he just never does
The editing does that for him.
Exactly
DeadlyGoat
Same here, when he started traversing those rocks and I could see the distance from there, until his next breath I was like....
✨😧✨
He push the limit brother
The camera person might have had an oxygen tank just to be safe, but there have been documented instances of people holding their breath for 10-15min while spear hunting fish. It takes an insane amount of training
Simply breathtaking! I saw this when it first came out and was awestruck. How do they do it? I think all of us should watch this miracle every so often to keep us young at heart and mind. Beautiful beyond words, exquisite poetry in motion. Thank you so much!
Legend says, he swam through all the oceans with one breath.
😁😁😁
Cornhub
Hahahahaha
😄 love that!
Legend says he swims till this day
This guy is like a superhero. He wore his spandex first before his undies.
I thought you were going to comment on how he looked weightless and elegant, like a superhero with the ability to fly, but the spandex-thong situation is actually more accurate.
Wym lol if its on the outside didnt he put it on after
@@agentj3319 Yes...? That's what they said.
Agent J thats what they said.....?
Lol
This is proof we’re all here as varieties of the universe trying to experience itself, such unique involvement
This was both scary and mesmerizing! Amazing job to both freedivers!
okay but if you read the description, you’ll realize the other person filming is his wife and shes ALSO free diving. thats actually insane.
yup this short film is true art
i think he wore her wetsuit then!
Will Chill XD
You hella fire lol
Snap?
This is exactly what my biggest fear looks like.. respect
I get it... But if you at least knew basic things of swimming and diving... There's no way you will fall into the dark trench except if you go yourself or being pulled 😁
Yes mine too. I love seeing people swimming, diving but when it comes to me nope! It's not my cup of tea.
Aarti Jaiswal same here.. I immediately start hyperventilating out of fear when I’m pushed in for example. And even watching people dive kinds freaks me out
@@e.1506 poor us.
@M Q Imagine sitting at the bottom of the deep end of a swimming pool? Its a devastating thought for me...
At first I think, How insane to risk your life like this. But then, I see this is what they were meant to do. Such grace. Maybe thats Humanities problem, we all have some wonderful and unique role to play, if we have the courage and tenacity.
Beautiful. I like the contrast between the immensity of the underwater world, the silence, peacefulness of it and then... the agitation, the promiscuity of the beach..! =S
I’m running out of breath trying to breathe for him
Me too hahaha
Same 😭😭
Yes! 😂 I’m panicking
Same
Omg u just said what I was thinking the whole time 😂
my anxiety could never-
who's having hard time breathing too tho just by watching this vid.
I have a terrible fear of water. I feel though if you were able to increase your lung capacity and swim well you would enjoy something like this. Really quite relaxing
oh my gosh i thought i was the only one lol
That would be me. Seriously, how long can this guy hold his breath?
Thought I was the only one!
Max Payne random gems
Diving is the closest to flying. This beautiful.❤🙏
Legend has it that this dude breathes once every two years.
😂😂😂😂
Legend has it, that he continues to walk left on the sidewalk after he climbed those stairs 😂😂
how does he do it
That’s how i run in my dreams when there is a monster coming at me
Omg your so right! Haha
same
Chubby Baekhyun hahhahahha
LMAO I hate it do much what I meant is It's happened to me too
Yes. That often happened to my dreams as well
I love to watch everything about ocean. As ocean holds mystery and beauty at the same time.
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.
My brain: Hold your breath.
Me: Why tho?
My brain: You just gotta.
its the other way around,
Me: Hold my breath.
My brain: naaahhh
13 minutes later
I'm thinking.....uuum....how long is this guy going to hold his breath? What is he? Superman or something? Anyone else would be dead, dead, dead!!
....Youll Experience Another World!!!🤫🐳🐠🦑🤣👀
@@tiawannarichmonde250 You do realize it's an edit of many different videos right?
To be fair, this is one of the craziest and uncanny things I've ever seen filmed.
This man's diving stands for the true meaning of what lucid dreaming may be. As mesmerizing as it was disturbing: climbing trees under water, walking underwater sands, side-climbing amazing cliffs. He takes us for a walk in the upside down world, like an atlantis' inhabitant.
Don't forget: diving into an underwater frozen lake and waves crashing into an underwater beach. I too was absolutely entranced by this upside down world.
all here where we live, ill never understand why look into Mars and meaningless rocks to live when we have a paradise here that WE must help sustain
@@CristinaF210 What a silly person.
Love your words. I felt transported to some years ago when I was regularly lucid dreaming. Running through the air and navigating strange landscapes in amazing ways. You nailed it with your comment.
Atlantis was a real city. Located in the eye of the Sahara. There is piles of salt there which shouldn’t be only explanation is water. Graham handcock explains it better
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen...
If you have VR, TRY THIS!!! The best experience ive had far none. Curved screen large sized, tilted toward you on the bottom. What a amazing Scene.
I am literally trying to breathe for him..
😂😭
Keep trying 🥺.
AHAHAHA reading your comment, I'm trying too 😄
please don't :)
Same 😰
Even the bloody Corona virus said “I ain’t touching this guy” with lungs like that
Hahahahaa
lol
HAHAHAHAHA
Looool
Wkwk true
just mesmerizing beautiful , the life hidden from us has made me emotional . I admire this film and I'm glad that i am able to see the beauty of underwater
Every time I watch this I am transfixed. Where is he? The skill it takes is mind blowing! 😮
I just want to breath for him so badly.
bro same. SAME.
I was getting uncomfortable seeing him not breathing for so long.
Shilpi Agnihotri me too
Trueee
why did it feel like I was running out of breath yet I'm chilling in bed?
Mlungisi Mdwaba 😂same
My chest and lungs both hurt now.
Same.
Easily one of the most beautiful and incredible videos I’ve ever seen
i come back here once in a while for this masterpiece.
Guillaume: free diving like a boss
me: *stepping on seaweed* WHAT MONSTER IS THIS?!
lmfao
🤣🤣🤣
My anxiety went 📈📈📈 when he was swimming under the ice.
I almost died
Are you aware of deep sea mining?
I couldn't even breathe
@@antisocialdistancing3 ????? Really
I just wish I had to calmness to do it love the ocean
I feel so fortunate to have been able to experience some of these incredible underwater locations such as the cenotes (scuba diving), Dominica (sperm whales). I hope this inspires people to protect our oceans.
This was incredible, I cry for joy...
The cinematography is out of this world.
Nahh just under😉
Someone who understands
Julie Gautier, his wife filmed the whole thing whilst free diving as well, so KUDOS to her 👏👏👏
WHAT?! she was ALSO free diving?! whoa
Really?
@@saumyamishra7599 yes, u can find it in the description above. This is mesmerizing.
I was wondering who the camera person was
Is she not the one who has done gorgeous underwater ballet dances?
I never get tired of watching this video...
Give this men a medal for this bravery
The ocean is like literally another world
95 percent of the ocean is unexplored and we know more about are solar system than Earth’s oceans
that sad? There’s no we. It’s actually scientist that know more about the solar system. You’re not part of that so don’t say we.
@@ChapoGuzman896 nah he is right its we. scientiests defently know more... but ''we'' defently know more about the universe and so on that our oceans why? because there is 95% of information about it
@@ChapoGuzman896 if you wanted to, you could research it.
@@ChapoGuzman896 ''we'' as in the human race, if we're talking about professions its possible to say that ''we'' know more about the ocean than the solar systems if for example we're talking about oceanographers.
So no one's talking bout the cameraman, I mean camerawoman? She is the best wife ever, free dives with him and even shoots those footages!
And lets him borrow her bikini bottoms. Without even telling him he has them on backwards. That's love folks!
And she’s magnificent in the bed!
She's free diving as well !? Wholly
You know you could have just backspaced your 'cameraman' 'mistake' right?
@g a I'd say don't be an idiot, but I'm afraid it's too late for you.
It’s amazing how he moves under such pressure
A dance between humanity and its own reality done so unbelievable well that it can’t possibly be real. THAT is living…
Does the dark and giantness of the ocean scare tf out of anyone else
EDIT: Thanks for the 9k likes and 136 comments. Love yall
YES. its so SUBLIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get so anxious watching the darkness of the ocean :S
Looks beautiful tho ngl
@Amicle YT its not thats the general anxiety for open water or the ocean in general.
Yeah mate
