Finally! A non-competition freediving, non-spearfishing short story done well that empathizes love for the ocean and beauty within. The narration and cinematography is on point! In most stories about freediving, the heavy non-American accents distracts me that I end up watching them on mute with subtitles but you were able to pull me in with Eddie's voiceover. Thank you for this emotional journey and I hope to see more. 😍

Epic, mate! Just getting into the sport but have been a swimmer all my life. Now obsessed with the breath and the depth. Would love to find a coach (probably virtual) as I'm based on the east coast of the U.S. would welcome suggestions and connections.

Muy bonita tu historia, de fortaleza y superación, tuve un accidente y me rompí ambos tobillos, mi vida en contacto con la naturaleza y el deporte tuvo un encuentro con la apnea y la pesca submarina. Felicitaciones por tu logro y la narrativa está muy bien hecha 👏👏👏💪👍😃
