    Free diving is a sport that is both remarkable and dangerous. What intrigues you the most about Guillaume Néry's dive?

    It's hard to be a freediving actor like Guillaume Néry's, but the photographer/videographer for this video is even harder. They have to be in a perfect spot with their maximum period of time. For your information, the photographer/videographer is a freediver too, they didn't use scuba diver to avoid bubbles while recording.

    • @falconshogun2
      @falconshogun2 5 лет назад +20

      I think he's walking on top of an underwater cave. Otherwise, if it was on a beach, he wouldn't have any water on top of his head and would just be walking normally on the beach. If you have any better idea, feel free to share but that's my best guess 👍
      Still, the shot greatly amaze me !

    • @iamdlord
      @iamdlord 5 лет назад +96

      He doesn't jump into air. It is an underwater cave called "Cenote Angelita" in Mexico which is also a halocline.
      A halocline occurs when fresh water sits on top of salt water and the difference in their salinity keeps them separate. The mist and the beach like effect that you see is hydrogen sulphide moving around independently in between fresh and salt water. 5:52 if you look closely you can see that it doesn't behave like tides on a beach. It's just a dense gas trapped between water with different salinity levels.

    This is truly mesmerizing. I feel like it’s just as spectacular as walking on the moon. He is literally on an alien planet down there. Cinematography is amazing. How many people can say they have walked down there? Thank you for a magnificent video.

      I love how they shot the scenes to look like he was running and climbing through the forests of the sea. Very much a surreal dream! My fav was when he was shot swimming upside down near the surface of the water, but it was made to look like he was actually walking towards the ocean and leaping off into the water, only to float away instead of plunge below.

    There is something unbelievably captivating about his dives. I was fascinated by his TED talks and the descriptions he gave. I hold my breath for a max of 2 minutes and I dive up to 8 meters, and I am content, but Guillaume is a master and has opened our eyes to what humans are capable of.
