Free diving is not a sport to be taken lightly. death is common and it’s participants walk a narrow path between fulfilling their dreams and meeting the almighty. William Trubridge is the unassisted world record holder with a depth of 288 feet. A man able to hold his breath for more than 5 minutes and who when not training in the water goes running holding his breath!

I hope you enjoy the film – Please take a moment to comment afterwards and give your thoughts or perhaps recommend other exceptional and unusual sportsmen for my next film.

    • I've attempted freediving, and I gotta say, it aint always a plate of pancakes. It's surely the most physically demanding thing the human body can go through...

    • Runs holding his breath? Extra O2 in his blood and also being more oxygen pressed out into his lymph system too (just like happens with deep fish, their oxygen transported around in their lymph system)? Hmm, I think I know a little about that. Sshhh. He's obviously a genius of the highest order.
