Another item from Dan Trachtenberg’s awesome blog One Cool Thing A Day blog of underwater base jumping. French world champion free diver Guillaume Nery specialises in Constant Weight free-diving. In this movie, he dives in the world’s largest sinkhole: Dean’s Blue Hole, just off the west of the Bahamas. That’s a good 663 feet deep towards the ocean floor. If you’re wondering how deep that is, just take a look below. And for the record. He did the entire dive, on a single breath of air.
Check out the astonishing video after the jump.
(For the record, Guillaume Nery never reached the bottom of the sinkhole as to do so would have made his head implode, the film was done just to demonstrate underwater base diving and made to artistic effect.)
Guillaume Nery and myself decided to use our time during a freediving competition at Dean's Blue Hole (deepest blue hole in the world) to make a short movie. Since a long time Guillaume wanted to make the link between freeding and base jumping. Our goal was to emphasise on esthetic images and innovative camera moves. [Julie Gautier: Camerawoman]
