The Austrian freediver, Herbert Nitsch, defies the depths of the ocean and goes from one amazing feat to another. He has held the world record for freediving since 2007: 214 meters! The British director Alexander Abela, who is also a freediver, shadowed him for many months while he trained, and also during international competitions in Greece and the Bahamas. In order to reach these extreme depths, Herbert draws on the breathing techniques of marine mammals and forces himself to do hours of training every day. At one with the subaquatic world, he is looking to go beyond Man’s limits rather than just break records. His dream is to go deeper than 300 meters!

Meeting Herbert Nitsch is not only an amazing adventure, it's also a scientific one. This holder of 33 world records is constantly pushing back the limits of the human body.
Another freediving discipline is no less dangerous: nolimit apnea. This discipline, made popular by Luc Besson's classic "The Big Blue", allows you to descend to the deepest parts of the seabed. It consists of freediving without fins, using a cable and your arms to reach the greatest depth. During this dive, the freedivers are pulled by a rope, and when they reach their limits, they return to the surface using an airfilled balloon as a parachute. Herbert Nitsch will once again attempt to surpass his own limits and those of the human body, reaching 214 meters. A superhuman feat that no one else is capable of achieving in these vertiginous abysses.
