THE FIRST MOVIE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BASICS OF FREEDIVING
Human and water. A relationship that dates back to our origins. Immersed for 9 months, already at our birth we have the reflexes of apnea. But what toddlers can achieve- others, much older are incapable of doing.
Sam is aquaphobic and is about to face a gigantic challenge, as in 3 months she’s departing to Philippines in order to learn freediving. Followed by Janosh (scuba diver), Lucie (yoga practitioner) and Remy (surfer) - 3 other beginner divers with whom she’ll learn the foundations of this incredible sport.
But will they succeed ? Descending 10 or 15 meters deep when you are afraid of water seems rather impossible.
Through different portraits we will question the human relationship with water, while discovering that freediving is much more accessible than we imagined.
An internal journey which will push each of the participants to pass their limits and to reconquer their element of origin.

Watching Sam conquer her fear and go from struggling to put just her face in the water to blow bubbles in a swimming pool, to diving 8 meters in the ocean was amazing!!!❤ Seeing all of the divers experience the joy of being free in the water was incredible. It's one of the greatest feelings in the world in my opinion. There's nothing better than the quite tranquility of diving amd being in water.
Hello my name is Luis and I born in Havana Cuba and I started free diving and later on started doing spearfish free diving, this documentary remember me when I started, I did spearfish for about 10 years and I moved to the USA on 1997, I'm sure missing very much be in the ocean, my best time was 4 minutes holding my breath in the water and my deepest immersion was 40 meters,180 foot, Cuba got, very beautiful cristal water,
I'm glad that I watched the entire documentary about freediving. I am 86 and have been around the water my entire life. I would deerly love to learn to free dive. thank you for an excellent presentation. I commend all of yur fine students. Everyone put out 100%.
Through freediving, I transformed. After doing it continuously for 5 years almost every day, many things in me changed.. all for the better. 🐋🐋🐟

Free diving IS meditation. At 45:40, "now it's between the water and me". Then, the next thought would be "I am water" and you feel unified with water. It is a moment you realize you do not stand out of nature watching it but you are part of it and although you feel small you also feel very important because you are a cell of something immensely powerful as the nature.
Amazing comment that actually made me think, thank you :)
Love this ❤
Insightful comment
I came to Philippines summer 2018 from California on a 2 month trip. During my stay I was introduced to free diving school on island of Camiguin. I decided to stay and take the level one course. Its almost 5 years and Im still here. 🤩
Once i learned to properly equalize my ears it opened the doors to depths I never thought i could go as a snorkeler. As long as the visibility is 15+ meters i love it.
Wow this is magnificent! Really well captured and narrated. Gives you a feeling of what's involved in Aida 1 and 2 courses for people interested in doing them. I will be doing Aida 1 and 2 in Bali in the next few days and watching this has got me so psyched for it! Thankyou so so much for all the hardwork creating this and inviting people to connect back with the nature. :-) ❤
SPECTACULAR video.. I always describe to my friends that it is yoga under water..
This is justbso amazing! I am a dialysis patient amd I just started freediving. This gives me more courage to do what I want to do despite the situation I have. 🥰🥰
The best documentary about free diving, incredibly amazing how that guys make a strong friendship on this trip!
THANK YOU SO MUTCH FOR THIS!!!!! I WILL NEVER STOP TO FREE DIVING AND SWIMMING!!! MUTCH LOVE FROM GREECE-CRETE
What a journey Sam went through that was incredible. 😀
Thank you for making this documentary. It touches and motivates me on so many levels. I started out exactly as did Sam, aquaphobic and unfamiliar with water. Now I want to do freediving and enjoy the water on a whole new level.
Beautiful film. Because it may inspire viewers to take up freediving, I wish the film had discussed the main reason to take a freediving course: learning SAFETY for yourself and your companions on this adventure.
Such a beautiful video of these four experiencing this new form of freedom and sharing their fears as well as the joy and peace it brings to their lives. I have always believed in meditation, it's gotten me through some really dark moments in my life but now I felt part of this group in this video. Thanks uploader and to all involved. 💙💙💙
I love freediving also,I can feel myself under water. Ocean is so magical,they have many story under there,so I love to do it agin.
I started spearfishing as a young kid in Sicily. It was the beginning of a lifelong love story with the sea and apnea. Eventually I stopped fishing because I realized that human activities are destroying oceans and seas. I now free dive only sporadically, but it's part of who I am. The relationship with the sea it's a bond that never goes away and I am truly happy only when I'm near the water.
I'm glad you became vegan and now respect the other species we share this planet with. Thank you.
Thanks for the documentary! Really loved it. Very useful for me as a few days ago I put my name down to do a freediving course.
really beautiful and touching :') thank you for sharing. and I have to say, the cameraman and video editor is very cool too 💛
This is amazing! I would love to take a free diving course.
Nicely edited documentary! I just did my padi freediving course and loved it. Got 4:10 static and went to 21m on my first dive without using the line (constant weight), the people in that video do make it look pretty hard but each his own rythm
Fantastic!
Thanks for the informative documentary.. more power!
This is a beautiful film.
I learned Freediving in Cebu Island in the Philippines in 1979. I was just fascinated with a Badjao Sea Pan Handler or Beggar. I tossed a One Peso coin in the water and a Salted Blonde Beautiful Badjao gal was able to dive and caught the coin in the water. Since then I started learning Freediving ( it was not commercialized back then) I left for Boston, i missed the Philippines. I will go and dive again with the Badjaos.
you can go back here whenever you want dude.
Beautiful! 🐬 🌟 🌱
Amazing documentary thnx :)
Thank you 😊❤
Loved it! Inspired ~~~
👏👏👏👏 very nice documentary. Inspiring. ❤️
amazing video... i miss my homeland
just WOW.
Beautiful ❤
can't wait to do this ❤️ i'm glad my family always supports the things i want to do even thou it's scary for them.. but what can they do? they have a crazy child 🤣
Great and dedicated instructors! Maybe similar people i need to overcome my fright and be able to dive. But im still wondering if people at my age can still be successful free divers. One thing i know is that i love to be with underwater creatures.❤️
I have seen a 73 year-old start his course not too long ago in Bali ! Anything is possible age is but a number !!
Thank you for choosing Philippines my country for your documentary.
Wonderful
I did my scuba diving course and equalization was taught in it. But I feel more fascinated by freediving. I plan to take freediving course some time in future.
From fear of water to diving 😮🎉
very nice documentary!
Freediving is starting to get popular in the Philippines. Bohol, cebu, batangas are one of the most visited provinces.
for me, freediving is a kind of doing meditation.
No it's not
@@baseetbowhat an ignorant comment 🙄
@@Alberts_Stuff
It's not your business 😃
@@baseetbo Another ignorant comment, you’re doing so well 👌🏼😁
Well said🤝
this is wonderful, I am from the philippines but I never been to palawan due to financial restritctions but when I get to go there I want to be already know free diving waaaaaa amazing
A good point to mention about deaths is glass in oceans...
El freediver cambia la vida de las personas ❤
i wanna learn how to freedive so much
One does not “do” yoga. One “becomes” yoga: at one with everything. In union with all. One must be in yoga to perform free diving 😊 🙏🏼 😌 or anything effortlessly, without friction or resistance; simply in Grace.
❤️
Where is the dive shop featured here- Bohol? The best scuba diving of my life was there at Balicasag Island. But free diving looks like a whole different ball game - I'd like to give it a try.
I believe it's in Moalboal, Cebu.
Got it, thanks. I should have watched the entire clip before asking. Looks like they were in Moalboal first and then Palawan (maybe Coron? not sure)
Honestly just 30 second of me being able to be underwater is my goal
I wonder how do these beautiful people doing now. It's been a year!
Freediving has changed my opinion of who is the bestter at sports man or woman
If you have asthma is this ok?
Living this film, when they are in the water for the first time diving down, I think they are trying to equalise to much
awesome video! Thank you guys for sharing your experience!!🫶🏽✨
It seemed counterintuitive to teach about things like , when you are free diving you must always take a partner in case you blackout , because if you blackout , it’s 200% sure you will die . I would think that at such a stressful time and fairly far away from the time one would need to know something like that , it could wait. Rather than give the mind one more “reason” to be afraid , no ? And then she in fact said that hearing that caused her a lot more anxiety .
The information is not you will die if you black out. The information is : never freedive alone. In fact, it's the most important thing to teach for any freedive teacher. I understand it can be scaring, but security is what makes freediving a safe sport. So this kind of informations is necessary.
Yea to be honest depending on the instructor 3\4 minute breath holds for beginners isn’t uncommon I feel he may have not shown them the best breath up technique prior to their static holds
Alexey Molchanov's World Record Dive to 130m
Тайны океана интересовали не только Жак-Ив Кусто, положившего начало глубоководного исследования морских глубин.
Техника отработки грудного и брюшного дыхания, задержки дыхания при глубоководном плавании.
Then i can swim about three pushes or four
How are they breathing under the water
They are not 😊
Omg
I can only go about eight feet down ...
🇩🇿🙏
It’s better to learn to swim before learning to free dive.
Such people like Sam should bot be put into water in such methods at all. She obviously has subconscious fear and trauma from being inside water.
She needs to address that first. Otherwise it's just retraumatizing again and again
I thought the same, you can't tell when she's going to feel so much anxiety that she might freak out. And freediving safety is first.
She said van damn in bloodsport...haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Free diving is risky. As life itself. Death will come anyway. So is it risky to drive 100 mph? Is the risk of death higher if you free dive alone at 10 m (when you are able to hold breath for 3:30 min?)? Nobody knows the statistic. So I go free diving alone.
how does bro shower💀
God my life is shit.
same here...
Yup. Time to go back to Karen DUI videos so I can feel better about myself.
Not understanding why anyone would do freediving. It's so dangerous. So many people have died doing this. Also the pain they talk about. Why would anyone want pain? I hate putting my head underwater. I would like to live a long life as i have lots that I want to do in my life still. I don't want to die an early death!!!
well starting a movie about freediving with a story about a girl who has aquafobia is kinda buzzard in my opinion... Did not even look further.
You're kinda dumb aren't you? The movie is about taking people that never did this to conquer their fear of freediving or in her case of water
Seems like she needed to treat that issue first. I am halfway through.
i observe not so much black people in water physical activites
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫀👋AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Or skiing. It's not that they're not capable, they just on the whole seem to have zero interest in it. It's a cultural thing I guess.
I just start crying with you guys 🥲🥰
