Underwater base jump

You may well have seen this incredible video in the last 2 months but it fits with yesterday’s post about underwater photography. The video above was shot in the Bahamas in a place called Dean’s Blue Hole. Although the video uses some clever editing to show bits that may not have happened (at least not in one breath), the result is ‘breath taking’ and the song You Make Feel by Archives adds perfectly to the mood of the video. French free diver Guillaume Nery, who holds the world record of free diving as he dove -113m under sea level in 2008, did all the footage only holding breath! It’s also worth mentioning Julie Gautier was behind the video camera, and her too was holding breath during the footage… Splendid!
