FREEFALL a freediver’s journey into the heart of the cenotes - Tulum, Mexico

An epic journey freediving the mystic waters of the Mexican cenotes!
Hold your breath with Vitomir Maricic and descend the sacred freshwater sinkholes.
All underwater footage was performed and shot on breath-hold, without any help from pure oxygen, external sources of air or underwater scooter, to a range of -10m to -30m for the deepest shots.
We are highly trained professional freedivers.

    Those light rays are so majestic. An editing trick I think would have been fun around 2:20 would have been to have him emerge from the halocline upside down and then slowly rotate the camera to reveal which way is actually up. That way you maintain the screen direction from the previous scene and surprise the viewers a little bit when they realize what is happening. Then, you also wouldn't need that cross-dissolve at all. Either way, cool video and beautiful locations.

    this is a combination of separate dive shots, world record dynamic apnea is about 4:30 with a depth of 134 m and a long freefall with agressive finning to the top, however these moves made on a video are extremely oxygen consuming, at least due to the fact that artistism is mostly a mental action, and to its dynamics, it is almost impossible to hold breath that effectively, as in a state of meditation, and when you only use whats needed in a moment to just move down or straight. When you cut out everything that doesnt serve going with least oxygen consumption, then probably a human may do so for 5 minutes on -50m.
