Lungs of steel

Guillaume Nery is a world champion free diver and in this video he decides to show off his breath holding skills by diving into Dean’s Blue Hole until he reaches the bottom.



Guillaume Néry (born 11 July 1982) is a French free-diver specialised in Constant Weight free-diving.

He broke the world record in 2002 at -87 meters in the Villefranche-sur-Mer harbour, in Alpes-Maritimes, France. Then, in 2004, he pushed the record to -96 meters in Saint-Leu, la Réunion.
