We've been
taught to fear riptides and underwater currents. They're all-consuming. Their
power is unmatched when you're caught off guard by the ocean. But what if you
could harness them for good?
Filmmaker
Julie Gautier and freediver Guillaume Néry recently collaborated to make an
amazing short film that depicts the strange beauty of movement underwater. For
the film, entitled "Ocean Gravity," they decided to capture Néry deep
under water near the Tuamotu
Archipelago in French Polynesia, at the Tiputa
Pass in Rangiroa.
The film
shows Néry as an underwater current guides him effortlessly across the ocean
floor. It's mesmerizing to watch, serving as an incredible example of the
strange characteristics of life deep in the ocean.
This
makes me want to experience ocean currents for myself. The currents run for
thousands of miles around the world, and it's awesome to see someone getting to
swim in one of these natural wonders.
