Finally! A non-competition freediving, non-spearfishing short story done well that empathizes love for the ocean and beauty within. The narration and cinematography is on point! In most stories about freediving, the heavy non-American accents distracts me that I end up watching them on mute with subtitles but you were able to pull me in with Eddie's voiceover. Thank you for this emotional journey and I hope to see more. 😍
I agree, this video is inspiring!
Moving + inspiring! So happy for you to hear you found a way to re-imagine yourself!

I can relate to this. I shattered my knee, which i rehabilitated with swimming. Swimming led to freediving. Freediving lead to my freedom. 💙 🌊
Glad to hear you recovered from this. This sport connects so many inspiring people. I am grateful for comments like this! Feel free to subscribe for more :)

How long can you hold a breath
@@erikcunanan never measured mine but at least 1 - 2 Minutes, for Mehdi I can not say. You can go to my IG and find him there, let’s go ask him :)

"Promo SM" 😱
Your film resonated with me on such a deep and personal level. I’ll never forget the day I woke up in the intensive care unit, disoriented and overwhelmed. That moment triggered a panic attack, something I had never experienced before. It was terrifying. Afterward, the doctor told me that, along with medication, I needed to find an activity that could help me cope, something that would ground me and bring me peace.
That’s when I discovered freediving, and it completely transformed my life. The feeling of being underwater, weightless and free, gave me a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in so long. Little by little, dive after dive, I felt my panic disorder slipping away. In just eight months, I was able to recover, and since then, freediving has been my sanctuary.
Watching your film made me realize I’m not alone in this journey. There are so many freedivers out there, all dealing with their own struggles, whether physical or emotional. Freediving has become more than just a sport for people like us-it’s a form of therapy, a way to heal. I’m grateful for your film because it sheds light on the powerful impact this activity can have. Thank you for creating something that reminds me, and others, that we’re not alone in our battles.
Thank you so much for taking your time to write such a beautiful comment! Stories like yours are the reason why I wanted to make this short film, to connect people on their journey and let them know that they are never alone! This community deserves to be heard and connect with more like minded ones. I am looking forward to share more insights about my inner world / feelings about this journey. Feel free to subscribe :)
Wow! Sehr professionell und berührend! Man kann sehen, dass dort viel Arbeit hinter steckt.
Ein Masterpiece 🤍 Wir hoffen, dass diese Message viele Menschen erreicht & genauso inspiriert wie uns!

Muy bonita tu historia, de fortaleza y superación, tuve un accidente y me rompí ambos tobillos, mi vida en contacto con la naturaleza y el deporte tuvo un encuentro con la apnea y la pesca submarina.
