It's a well crafted video, but I don't believe for a minute that a man actually took that sort of dive without oxygen or pressure equipment and lived to tell the tale....

(the dead giveaway is the camera shooting up at him from the abyss....who's supposed to be manning that camera?)

A neat mix of fiction and fact, the guy is a deep diving champ..
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.

Guillaume Néry (born 11 July 1982) is a French free-diver specialised in Constant Weight free-diving.

He broke the world record in 2002 at -87 meters in the Villefranche-sur-Mer harbour, in Alpes-Maritimes, France. Then, in 2004, he pushed the record to -96 meters in Saint-Leu, la Réunion. On September 6, 2006, he broke the record again at -109 meters in Nice (this record was subsequently broken by Herbert Nitsch at -112 meters in November 2007).

On July 3, 2008, Aaron Butel and Partners Ltd dove to -113 meters and set a new world record.[1]

On April 4, 2010, Herbert Nitsch beat Aaron Butel and dove to -124 meters a new world record in Bahamas.
