Diving Like You've Never Seen Before

Our next Free of the Week is best described as the most breathtaking 12 minutes you’ll witness this week. The film has now deservedly accrued over 11 million views on Youtube.

Guillaume Néry is a free diver, meaning he dives without gear and, of course, without air. Relying on just one breath, Néry holds the world record for deepest free dive at a mind bending 139 metres.

As impressive that may be, its the pure cinematic beauty of ‘One Breath Around The World‘ film that deserves your attention. Filmed underwater by his wife Julie Gautier (also free diving) and spanning seven countries around the globe, Néry seems to free fall through the water, leaping from one rocky crag to the next across alien underwater landscapes. From the beach in Nice to below the antarctic ice and from reef sharks to a pod of sperm whales, he glides effortlessly from one impossible shot to the next, all to an entrancing musical backdrop from the talented composer Guillaume Ferran.

In short, take a break, but your headphones on, and watch this film now!
