Default BIZARRE VANDENBERG FREE DIVING VIDEO with scooter assist!!!


Kirk Krack surveys his domain mounted on a radar dish on the wreck of the Vandenberg seven miles south of Key West, FL.



Erin Mcgee spies an interloper and moves to chase him off her wreck!




Check it out, the deck starts at about 70 ft., a lot of the sequences were deeper than that. Also, the two divers were moving pretty fast (burning extra air) for dramatic effect. No fins either so even more exertion. It looks easy but in fact the sequences demanded a lot of free diving prowess and athleticism. You usually do the exact opposite in normal free diving focusing on slow relaxed movements. They used high speed sit on dive scooters to transport the free divers to the surface for breathup. It is Kirk Krack and Erin Magee of http://www.performancefreediving.com/ in the piece all captured with just one videographer on the first day and two on the second. Both Kirk and Erin have great camera presence too, holding their breath working way too hard down to 110 ft.! The scooter free divers had to stay off camera and submerged for the entire time the actors were under. To try to manage DCS issues, they did O2 safety stops. The video was captured in two, two hour shoots over a two day period. They show aspects of how the film was created in the video. Well conceived, shot and dove, impressive video!
