The World's Best Natural Free Divers
Eldio Gulisan, also called Imam, is a professional freediver who is also an esteemed member of the Sama people, a diverse ethnolinguistic group in the southern part of the country. His inspiring story goes beyond the medals, and it deserves to be shared with the world.
Want to go freediving with Erwan? We are in Samal Island in Davao, Philippines and we are ready to dive right into its deep blue waters. Joining us on this spontaneous trip is with one of our old pals, Sebastien Gilbert, who is also no stranger to freediving and is also an avid underwater videographer. Will Erwan get the hang of freediving, or will he quickly retreat to shore? Watch until the end to find out!
We wasted no time editing this video and got the best results using our new Lenovo Yoga 9i Pro and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i. We would like to thank Lenovo, Intel, and Microsoft for partnering with us for this video.

it’s like a special made for HBO or Netflix! i’m glad erwan is finally drawing out his vision for featr and has an incredible team to help him out! he’s extremely vital for the community and industry and he definitely deserves more recognition on how he loves and showcases the Philippines 🇵🇭
Ang lungkot lang isipin na mas marami pang views ang walang kwentang mga content creator dito sa Pilipinas kisa sa marami kang matutunan at subrang laking tulong nito sa Pilipinas for me deserve ng FEATR mag million views every videos.
This was awesome, on my bucket list to dive with these legends of Samal!

take me w you! lol
I'm surprised there hasn't been a navy or coast guard recruitment campaign of the Sama people. They're a national treasure and asset.
Thank you Erwan for featring people like the Sama and Imam. It’s very inspiring and admirable. Watching this makes me respect and appreciate our people and our country even more. Proud to be Pinoy! ❤
You're the best program! FEATR beats any Docu, vlogging .. etc. Hope Erwan and FEATR gets the well deserved recognition in the Philippines and world wide. Philippine Dept of Tourism should follow your examples on how to best promote the Philippines.

Cleaning the Philippines; cities & provinces would be the first step in 'promoting' tourism. No matter how great vlogs such as this one, but seeing how dirty our country is pointless.
Another tale of exceptional feat under water…. I felt so proud of Imam, being unassuming and relatively lacks some gadgets to enhance his capabilities, however his passion and culture made it possible for him to score his NR… Another magnificent story and the diversity of living on the water and underwater… Excellent job, Thank you👏👏👍♥️ Unforgettable Mae
Keep on creating, Erwan! Yours is the best docu series this country has ever seen. And, more power to Manoy Elidio. I hope he gets the recognition that he truly deserves and inspire the young generation of the Sama people. 🙏👏
Tatay Elidio should be recognize and supported by the government.
As always, the story telling and quality of the content takes my breath away. Bone chilling in a food way, superb job Featr. ❤

Thank you so much!
I have always loved how Erwan tells his stories----very well orchestrated. Loved his remark on Imam's skills which he said "It is impossible to teach and can only be admired".
The themes and topics and especially the people you feature makes me realize how much I miss the homeland. Please keep it up, never stop and inspire more creators and especially your team. Your passion for the Philippines hopefully gets more views. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope Imam can train the newer generations of his tribe to get involved in the sports of freediving. I know many would want to see the potentials of their local traditions in the field of freediving, not just spearfishing. These are the natural deep divers that didn't have the opportunity to have modern training programs.
the reason why i want to learn freediving ♡ is to learn how locals do fishing 💖
ibang level ng pag promote, very entertaining and informative. Hindi lang sa lenovo pero pati si pro diver Imam at sa trourism sakanila at the same time, nakaka proud kasi may ganito sa pilipinas . this is the first time i saw this kind of plot line as well. appreciate it!
Watching this made me emotional. I felt the love and respect for Freediving and for saving our ocean. Filipinos have a big future in this sport. Looking forward for Imam and other filipino free divers to make history in Freediving!
Just do ur shit erwan im so happy the ph has some of these types of youtube content that doesnt let my brain rot
How cruel is our government for making them leave their community. They should have been helped. In Brunei, the houses on stilts are so beautiful. I hope this video will be a start for them to receive help from the local and national government.
Wow, much respect to Tatay Elidio🙌
As someone who grew up in tawi tawi and now living in the states, this video brings me joy
FEATR, i hope you never ever stop making videos like this! These are so relaxing and educational and heartwarming. I cry almost every episode because I’m so touched by the people you feature. We are similar in the sense that it’s the people and their story that is most important ❤ Kudos to your team for finding these incredible Filipinos. Filipinos like Iman need to be featured more in mainstream media. You guys are definitely such a hidden gem!
Super cool! Philippines is the best! We are moving there next year to open our hotel in Cagayan De Oro City called….OHANA BEACH SUITES…. LETS GOOO!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The joy on his face when he was telling the story of how he got a national record is so precious. 💖💖
Having goosebumps while watching Imam! Thank you Featr!
Thank you for featuring these indigenous people of the Philippines.
Thank you for this. Such an amazing showcase.

10:03 this part just gave words why I love the sea. I really can't explain it before. I just love the sea, that's all I say. ❤
I love Sama people and am happy to serve them in my community. They are awesome.. Thank you Featr.. God bless... One of the best.❤

Glad to see this documentaries.
That was such a good video. Thanks to team erwan for sharing this to the world
*daghang salamat.*
mabrouk to you Iman ...mashallah!!! Shukran Erwan .so much to learn from you
The Sama people needed to be recognized for there excellent diving skills and humble beginnings.
the quality of featr’s videos is top tier, I’m quite disappointed that not many people watch it.
Spectacular!
So lovely to watch. Hope you got him free dive gloves, and footies (aquasocks). Or asked Intel to sponsor some to leave with the tribes - to help prolong the livelihood of their communities... in exchange for your footage. ;) "Always leave things better than you found them." - an old Eco-Diver edict.
I wish we could fund them for competitions or something. We already have one Olympic medal winner from among the Sama people.
we love kuya imam! hope to one day be able to dive with him!!
Thank you Erwan Heusaff and team for the video :)
mashaallah mashaallah proud of u tatay .ni skipping ads sir erwan

Wow 😲 Super Amazing drive swing and I Proud with you Tatay🤗 Talent go for it😊 enjoy it 💕 from Philippines❤❤❤
This channel never fails to create quality content. If I have a chance to join this crew I would be so happy hahaha
This inspires me more to be a good underwater filmmaker or whatever im doing. Yeah diving and filming is tiring and hard. Most of my good shot are from accidental shot lol. I love the cinematography, editing, script and the story. Worth subscribing 😍
Featr never disappoints 🤘
congrats to Imam.. good story.. awesome presentation!..

Hello Featr!! 💖💖
Thank you Erwan & Team for this wonderful content.
2nd ❤😅
solid n nmn
That lenovo will fit to my lifestyle hehe. Wow 1.6kg but full of powerful specs
I WANT THAT LEGION!!!!!!!!
Definitely he must be a reservist of coast guard and a professional free diving instructor.
I learned how to Freedive in Cebu City in 1979 from a Badjao fisherman living in Mactan Island.
This one is good, featr.
♡♡♡
We Sama people esp the man in the southern part of Philippines has this ability. They say the badjao sama when they are small child they use to be thrown to water to learned how to swim at early childhood.Thats why most of them esp badjao living besides or on the water has this ability.
Magaling na magtagalog si sir erwan..😁👌
Does gilbert have a channel?
❤❤❤❤
Hey, I really like your shots at Coastol Road. I just saw the potential of the place to make a photo scene in my mind everytime i drive there. but you already did it. 😢😅 HAHAHA kdding.
Cried when I heared Fear Thou Not while you're in the water!!1
