    He's a freediver. They train for stuff like this. Very dangerous, I remember watching an episode of Real Sports on the subject. They have to hold their breath for several minutes while doing challenging activity then when they reach their point they have to come up slow and steady or risk further injury or death. Pretty coo for those who do it, to me anyway.

    FAKE AND GAY!

    May 30, 2010 — FREE FALL: World champion freediver Guillaume Nery special dive at Dean's Blue Hole, the deepest blue hole in the world filmed entirely on breath hold by the french champion Julie Gautier. This video is a FICTION and an ARTISTIC PROJECT. Edited by BLUENERY (c). Music: ARCHIVE - you make me feel.

    cool song though

    I never thought I'd see the day when basso is posting things that bend the truth.

    [rquoter]A French freediving champion and model, Guillaume Nery said on her blog: "Our goal was to emphasize on aesthetic images and innovative camera moves." "I never pretended to reach the bottom. It's impossible and no one will ever do it," Guillaume said via email, emphasizing that the movie was an artistic creation -- "a fiction movie" -- that took four afternoons of diving "to get all the shots." He explained, "We just wanted to show another approach of freediving". "For me freediving means to be in harmony with the elements, it means freedom, it means exploring the unknown. We tried to express this feeling in one video."[/rquoter]
