Read the complete description. It's fiction and an artistic film.

Did you happen to notice the diver did not take his weight off at the bottom?

Which part is fiction? I think the description is lost in translation. Deans Blue Hole has hosted the World Freediving Championships at some stage.

dunno, here's the description of the vid.

FREE FALL: World champion freediver Guillaume Nery special dive at Dean's Blue Hole, the deepest blue hole in the world filmed entirely on breath hold by the french champion Julie Gautier. This video is a FICTION and an ARTISTIC PROJECT. Edited by BLUENERY (c). Music: ARCHIVE - you make me feel.
Yes, the guy is a champion, but my guess is that there was some behind the scenes stuff to make the end video more asthetically pleasing. "This video is a FICTION and an ARTISTIC PROJECT", it doesn't seem like bad English or something that would be a mistake.

Here's a/th world record dive by the same guy, I guess 109m. Wow!!!!! My ears hurt a lot before I get to the bottom of a 8' deep pool.
