The only thing I keep thinking is how did that freediver make all those amazing shots here for his ‘one breath around the world’ video

[LucyFire]

Really respect people like them, making documentaries on their own passion.

Also can we all appreciate how beautiful that yellow Boat is!!

The drama they add to this, the music, the emphasized adjectives, lol.

Thank you for this amazing inspiration. I saw this documentary first in 2017 as an OWD and was simply stunned. I thought one day I will dive the Arch. Now after hundreds of dives, working myself as PADI instructor and multiple Tec courses, I finally came back to Dahab. A month ago I had the chance to dive it and it is even better than I could imagine. This dive is spectacular and worth all the training to do it safely. Blew my mind.

There's a new wreck off the shores of Port Sanilac that remains unidentified. My father's friend found it. My father was the first to dive it.
It's estimated to be from the 1800's, but it's history a total mystery.
Dad thinks it may just be the Twilight.
You should do an episode on the mystery ship. If you want details, let me know.

Put my love for diving on the side, I just love UK documentaries. So many info, educated but humble people and the most important - not so much "Omg I'm gonna die" Kardashian drama. Talking back to diving, it's incredible. Next, please!

[kenschreiner]

this show is great, i love how they present the different opinions and then go explore for supporting evidence. way better than most shows on TV (I'm looking at you ancient aliens).

[randolphjones]

The cave diver expert was a wise choice. That guy was top of the game.

I'm surprised by how much I enjoy this show! I wasn't expecting it to take such a thoughtful approach to solving mysteries.

[lossantoscity]

Come to think of it its only 25 meters deep so i think a few thousand years ago it might be a not underwater and its a rock quarry. Human in the old days have knowledge of rock splitting

[hillbillychrist]

Some of the finest people in the world right there. I have the deepest respect for them. I miss them greatly.

This guys better than current day discovery channel

[anthonycarlisle]

I'm more enthralled with the camera man's abilities than some host, I never remember the hosts of these types of shows, it's the camera folks that get all my attention and admiration

[wolfeyes]

I wonder if perhaps it could be both a mix of man-made and natural in it isn't so much a monument that was used for rituals or anything like that but perhaps a place that had simply been carved out because of the material, mining in a sense.
Maybe it was carved over many years for the material to make roads, paths and other things along those lines.
What you would then be left with if a feature that had the remains of being carved out but not used itself for anything else other than a place to gather the material there.

Mother Nature: Look at this cool natural phenomenon I made


Diver: I made this

That moment at the end when things go wrong in the cave and then a light comes on got me gassed 😂 legends

Robert Schoch is The Man. His work with Graham Hancock, John Anthony West (RIP), Robert Bauval was instrumental in redating The Sphynx based on geologic weathering and establishing the Egyptian civilization as the legacy of an even more ancient civilization. I trust his assessment of the sandstone as natural.

[chipsNrice]

Need more of these. This guy is awesome

[AzraMohamed]

Amazing discovery. Unnerving as well especially when they have to go through that steep hollow path.
