Diving doc
May 29, 2015 3:49 AM

A few weeks ago, may be a couple of months, I saw a trailer for a documentary on UK television that was mainly footage of a guy free diving / swimming in the sea.

I think he was may be fishing and it was off the coast of Turkey (thought this part is hazy). I'm pretty sure it was BBC but I could be wrong. My google-fu is failing me, please help if it rings any bells as I'm now keen to track it down.

Here's a great Freediving documentary: Breathe.

Over on the Deeper Blue forums, they have started a thread listing Freediving movies and documentaries.

Major Matt probably has it - the William Trubridge doc, Breathe, is the most recent full-length doc that I know of. (And I believe there's at least one scene of him diving in either Egypt or Turkey.)

All things freediving are going to be best sourced from the people at Deeper Blue, so hit up that link and scroll through.

If you need a quick hit, check out their Video of the Week series.

So I thought I'd have another try and managed to find it... Hunters of the South Seas I've no idea why I thought Turkey! Thanks for the suggestions.
