  • Eldio Gulisan, also called Imam, is a professional freediver who is also an esteemed member of the Sama people, a diverse ethnolinguistic group in the southern part of the country. His inspiring story goes beyond the medals, and it deserves to be shared with the world.
    Want to go freediving with Erwan? We are in Samal Island in Davao, Philippines and we are ready to dive right into its deep blue waters. Joining us on this spontaneous trip is with one of our old pals, Sebastien Gilbert, who is also no stranger to freediving and is also an avid underwater videographer. Will Erwan get the hang of freediving, or will he quickly retreat to shore? Watch until the end to find out!
    We wasted no time editing this video and got the best results using our new Lenovo Yoga 9i Pro and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i. We would like to thank Lenovo, Intel, and Microsoft for partnering with us for this video.

    You're the best program! FEATR beats any Docu, vlogging .. etc. Hope Erwan and FEATR gets the well deserved recognition in the Philippines and world wide. Philippine Dept of Tourism should follow your examples on how to best promote the Philippines.

    Another tale of exceptional feat under water…. I felt so proud of Imam, being unassuming and relatively lacks some gadgets to enhance his capabilities, however his passion and culture made it possible for him to score his NR…
    Another magnificent story and the diversity of living on the water and underwater…
    Excellent job, Thank you👏👏👍♥️

    I hope Imam can train the newer generations of his tribe to get involved in the sports of freediving. I know many would want to see the potentials of their local traditions in the field of freediving, not just spearfishing. These are the natural deep divers that didn't have the opportunity to have modern training programs.

    How cruel is our government for making them leave their community. They should have been helped. In Brunei, the houses on stilts are so beautiful. I hope this video will be a start for them to receive help from the local and national government.

We are similar in the sense that it’s the people and their story that is most important ❤ Kudos to your team for finding these incredible Filipinos. Filipinos like Iman need to be featured more in mainstream media. You guys are definitely such a hidden gem!

    We Sama people esp the man in the southern part of Philippines has this ability.
    They say the badjao sama when they are small child they use to be thrown to water to learned how to swim at early childhood.Thats why most of them esp badjao living besides or on the water has this ability.
