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

[GoodMusicEnjoyer]

2:41 Walking underwater is like running away from someone in nightmare

[flosohobobro]

I have asthma and my brain absolutely cannot comprehend this.

[tubiak]

When he's running underwater, that looks exactly like my nightmares. I lean forward and push hard, yet moving so slowly

[grimkxdo]

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

[inihadiharidan]

So apparently his wife was the one filming him and she was also free diving!! Mad respect

[legendvikra]

He is underwater & somehow it feels like i'm SUFFOCATING

[brittnidavis]

He needs a Netflix documentary about his free diving...that was remarkable

[iineiko]

Every year I come back to this video. It's a masterpiece.

"Julie Gautier, Néry’s wife, filmed the piece while free diving as well." Isn't that so precious?

[deancoronado]

This guy takes a breath before he sleeps.

Eight hours later, he wakes up and exhales.

[davidedessilani]

I was breathing for him during the video.

respect to the cameraman for diving with him

[anakmuda]

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.

[isabellaromaine]

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.

[SinorBlim]

Its like hes walking around the spirit realm.
It looks like some sort of afterlife, just the way they've filmed it.

[theocruex]

Somehow this reminds me how small we are compared to nature. This guy understands it and respects it.

[lizzyg]

Lets not ignore the exceptional footage his wife has captured .... amazing

[nguyenkhoi]

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!

[soultrail]

The cinematography is out of this world.
