FRANCE 4 Monday 14 June at 23h20
This film meets the five of the best freedivers in the world ...
The real faces of a fun, technical and extreme sport revealed through exceptional visual documents. You had stayed in the Big Blue, here is the opportunity for a serious update.
'11minutes 35 seconds without breathing ... 214 meters deep!
The freedivers of the 2000 years have adapted to the water ... they are not fishmen.
They are the explorers of the other element.
They challenge theories, open new avenues ... "
This generation has achieved in ten years what has never been done in any other sport: doubling all the records in the world.
This film is going to meet: Stéphane MIFSUD, Pierre FROLLA, Loïc LEFERME, Guillaume NERY and Herbert NITSCH.
During 8 years, Jean-François Julian followed their unusual lives, making records, intensive training, deep-sea hunting and especially trips, meetings and fraternity.
Jean-François Julian makes us live emotions from the inside. Moments of immense joy, but also failures and tragedies, especially with the death of one of them in training in 2007, the French record holder of no limit, Loïc Leferme (world record at 'time).
They tell each other stories about their relationship to depth, time, performance, risk, fear and death.
What are they looking for ? How far are they willing to go? They want an extraordinary life and give themselves the means.
In 8 years, we see them grow and change, each tracing its particular path and marking its differences. No film has ever been able to follow in such an intimate way and for such a long time, the crossed paths of a group of men united by an extreme practice, which they constantly claim and question.
Director: Jean-François Julian (90 min) • Producer: Christophe Jarreau
Produced by Gedeon Co-author and Editor: Charlène Gravel
For the nostalgic, France 4 offers you in the first part of the evening and in a long version… the Big Blue…

Thank you for your messages.
I will try some answers since I started, i.e. 1 month ago.
the DEJEPS is not an equivalent of the BEES1. BEES 1 who want to obtain this new diploma from the sports code must obtain UC4 (there are 4 Skills Units).
There are many equivalences restricted only to the federal environment (FFESSM and FSGT). For those, like me, who come from other organizations or who have favored another type of diving, it is a path strewn with pitfalls but doable if you have time like me and a sufficient financial base (personal funding or subsidies ).
I am 42 years old, I am married, 2 dependent children. I was HRD for a large group in the luxury industry. I decided on this change. And this does not happen without sacrifice and effort. I guarantee it. This is my experience. And my life is worth living to fulfill my dreams.
I do not know what the future holds but I am curious and happy to discover it.
For those most interested, I keep a very precise schedule of the actions that I have to carry out (physical and mental preparation, documentation, financing, preliminary training, company for work-study training,…). And a famous Plan B if ever (like in teak diving).
I plan to do my 9-month training at CREPS d'Antibes if I am selected (there are selections at the entrance) alternating from time to time in a company between Paris and the South.
Looking forward to reading your support comments.
