Video: Cave Diving Along The North Shore Of Hawaii

The latest video from the folks at Makai Creative certainly is beautiful.  Shot of the North Shore of Oahu, the short film captures some adventurous divers exploring underwater sea caves. The natural lighting is amazing to watch, but what is even more impressive is that this group wasn't using any scuba gear on their dive at all. They simply went down with a good set of lungs filled with fresh air. That makes these shots breathtaking in more ways than one!

Video: Freediver Yasemin Dalkilic Tells Us About Her Dream Home

Like most of us, nine-time world freediving champion Yasemin Dalkilic has an idea of what her dream home is like and she describes it quite vividly in this charming video. Turns out her perfect home is a lot like the Aquarius Reef Base near Key Largo, Florida. The base, which has fallen on hard times in terms of funding, seems like the proper place for someone who can hold her breath for extended periods of time.

Video: Freediver Catches Ride On A Great White Shark

The woman in this video, the aptly named Ocean Ramsey, is most certainly braver than I am. Not only is she a freediver but she also seems to have no fear of sharks. Freedivers swim to impressive depths without the use of scuba gear and in this video she's doing just that when she decides to grab a passing great white shark to go for a ride. Despite the fact that she's flirting with one of the more impressive predators on the planet, the video is oddly tranquil to watch.

Thanks to the Goat for the recommendation.
