The deep ocean is alien. Though we have actually mapped 100 percent of the ocean floor to a resolution of five kilometers, we have a better idea of what the surface of Mars and Venus look like. And like another planet, the “atmosphere” of the deep sea can be deceptively powerful.
With nothing more than a wet suit and some goggles, last year free diver Guillaume Néry let himself be swept along the ocean floor near Tiputa pass with the aid of incredibly strong — and curiously invisible — ocean currents. Underwater cameraman Julie Gautier (who also worked with Néry on a gorgeous video called “Free Fall“) filmed Néry’s bizarrely serene journey and set it to music. It’s like watching an omnipotent being evaluate a new world. Or something.
You can watch the full video of Néry’s dive below (make sure to go HD and full-screen):
This is fake. It’s freezing at the bottom of the ocean, he doesn’t have oxygen, and it would most likely be a lot darker down there. The pressure alone would probably kill him.
The ocean floor in Tiputa Pass may be deep but it isn’t as deep as I think that you think, my friend.
He isnt actually touching the floor, hes a world class free diver that can hold his breath for several minutes. And as for the pressure and dark comments, thats just silly.
If it were real, then the moments he touches ocean floor with his feet would have dust and particles coming up.
We know more about the stars than the bottom of the ocean. It’s a fantastic mystery.
That is one of the coolest f#c%ing things I have seen in along time!!! Well done lad!
I thought that was GTA V footage
Indeed, it did not look like real life, more like CG.
