00:03 How long have you been on the island?
00:14 How many times have you been to the hole?
00:20 You're afraid?
00:28 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33 Oh, I'm really afraid.
00:34 Well, really full, but really, really dangerous.
00:37 Oh, man.
00:38 I--
00:38 [LAUGHTER]
00:41 When you get down there, you can't get back up.
00:44 What's scary about it?
00:45 The darkness.
00:45 What do you think is in there?
00:50 I don't know.
00:52 Dean's Blue Hole is the deepest blue hole in the world,
00:55 660 feet deep.
00:57 Freediving is a sport where you hold your breath
01:00 and try and go as deep as possible.
01:03 Do you consider yourself a normal person?
01:06 Yeah, I mean, I--
01:07 [LAUGHTER]
01:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:15 I can hold my breath for 7 and 1/2 minutes.
01:17 I didn't really start getting concerned
01:23 until I realized that he was going deeper and deeper
01:26 and deeper.
01:27 And then I started wondering, when is he going to stop?
01:30 There have been people who have died during freediving.
01:37 No parent should outlive their child.
01:40 I mean, he's putting his body in a place
01:42 that nobody's ever been before.
01:45 Why risk it?
01:46 Why risk it?
01:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:56 He want to see what he is.
02:09 Just one breath.
02:12 Oh, what?
02:13 [LAUGHTER]
02:15 You're really good.
02:19 My name is William Trubridge, and I'm a freediver.
02:23 Are you afraid for him?
02:24 Yes, because if he go down, he may not come up.
02:30 Breathe.
02:31 Breathe, Will.
02:32 Breathe.
02:32 Big breaths.
02:33 Big breaths, Will.
02:34 Big breaths.
02:35 Grab him.
02:36 Grab him.
02:36 Grab him.
02:37 Breathe, Will.
02:38 Breathe.
02:38 Breathe, Will.
02:39 Breathe.
