I’m not an emotional guy. This one really got me. I was ready for the danger and the sport. Not for the emotions.

Excited to see this one! I could never free dive, but after I became a scuba diver, I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the hidden world and creatures beneath the sea.

I love swimming underwater. These people are remarkable

I’m not very emotional with movies/documentaries but this end.. it really got me. The way the picture showed him putting Alessia on her back, sacrificing himself for her. It was so sad because he knew one of them was gonna die, and he wasn’t gonna let her die. When they all held their breathe for 39 seconds representing all of his life, that got me too. I was just crying so bad.

i watched this on a plane and had to hide my tears by staring out the window 😭

A really good watch. Was surprised how quick it went. Lots of different emotions. Gripping. This is gotta be the most extreme sport.

[andyluhmann]

Maybe the best documentary I have ever seen. Just wow

[cookiekirkland]

Chris great review, this I will watch. I love being in the water and swimming underneath where its quiet and peaceful. Your review of this documentary has me so excited to see these divers amaze us. Thank u.🐠

I saw the other documentary you mentioned...I believe it was all about the Great Blue Hole which is by the Yucatan peninsula off the coast of Belize. I cant overcome my body floating so I cant even reach the bottom of a swimming pool or even go snorkeling.

people are so addicted to maintaining their ego, every time they have to be better than the other because otherwise you failed, why? it's ridiculous to think you're unbeatable, you just have to be able to control your ego, nothing is more important in life than the now, the past has been and the future is unknown, enjoy the moment in the now, the rest is bullshit

I am a freediver, and there's a lot of incorrect information about freediving in your review. The expansion and contraction of one's lungs over the course of a freedive has nothing to do with getting bent or not. Getting "the bends" or decompression sickness has to do with the creation of nitrogen bubbles in the blood. We prevent that by taking sufficient surface intervals. Scuba divers breathing pressurized gas over longer periods of time absorb much more nitrogen, and hence need to follow a different protocol of slow assents, safety stops, and a surface interval. Also, only another freediver can safety dive for a freediver. In modern freediving, there's no safety divers on scuba. The safeties are all freedivers themselves because they can quickly ascend if the diver has trouble. A scuba diver can't do that. The movie actually deals with that problem, when one of the technical divers photographing a dive sees the dangerous situation evolving but knows she can't do anything to stop it because she would need to ascend too slowly to help anyone.

The Deepest Breath is a beautiful documentary. I enjoyed it greatly. I'm glad you did too. I have mixed thoughts about its emphasis on the danger side of things. I guess it wouldn't be a very exciting documentary if it was all about people doing yoga and CO2 tables, though.

Hello sir How's Barbie and Oppenheimer?? What you think? Which is best of best?

[masteronionnorth]

Aren't these divers worried about running into a megalodon or something? 😋

I enjoyed Luc Besson's THE BIG BLUE more than this reality-tv documentary.
