World Champion Free Diver Attempts Base Jump at Dean’s Blue Hole

2010 June 9

There are two incredibly talented people behind this. Firstly the world champion free diver, Guillaum Nery. But secondly and certainly not least the camera women, Julie Gauiter, who produced some fantastic shots but also carried out the filming on “breath hold”.

The legendary Deans Blue Hole in the Bahamas is a well known and epic location in the diving world. The pair wanted to create an artistic impression of how the two sports of free diving and base jumping could link together for some great filming.

Now the free divers do not claim to have actually reached the bottom without tanks, nor to have completed the shots in one swift take. This what some of the criticisms have been saying as reviews, but the divers never claimed to do that. More importantly the fact still remains that even if it was done in a few takes, they still went an incredibly significant way down, without tanks, without any equipment and stil managed to pull off a great short film thats being spread around like wildfire at the moment.

However you watch it, its still so impressive and I think the camera shots are fantastic. They are two highly talented people. Take a look and see if you can hold your breath….these guys can do it for a scary amount of time.

    This guy can hold his breath for nearly 4 minutes! Ive heard that he never reached the bottom too, but who cares…if you do your research on this guy you know he is a pro! Plus your right, the filming it self is great and thats the main reason he was doing it!!
