A high quality DVD Video containing two spearfishing documentaries. 64 minutes of digital programming will take the viewer on two unique freediving and spearfishing adventures on the African continent.

"The Pinnacle" is a 28-minute program on the reef of the same name in Southern Mozambique. This film was previously released on video, and is now included on this disc in crystal clear DVD video. National Geographic cameraman Graeme Duane and Pinnacle local Barry Skinstad take the viewer on a personal tour of what its like to spearfish the Pinnacle and compete with packs of Zambezi sharks for big gamefish such as Marlin, Wahoo, Giant Trevally, King Mackerel and others.

This film has amazing footage of big gamefish free-swimming and being hunted by breath hold spearfishermen. There are also stunning shots of Zambezi and Dusky shark feeding frenzies. Sequences of divers interacting with and repelling sharks at close quarters.

"Guinea Pigs" is a documentary that follows an exploratory expedition into Equatorial Guinea. A team of divers, fishermen and conservationists explore "post oil" Equatorial Guinea in order to establish viable locations for tourism nodes with regard to SCUBA and big game fishing.

The most efficient way to do this to freedive and spearfish the entire coast. The result is an action packed film filled with awesome spearfishing sequences. Watch Jeremy Williams and Steve Ellis hunt Cubera Snapper in green jungle water, giant Barracuda under oilrigs and huge Wahoo in the indigo water on the offshore islands. Other fish featured are Jack Crevalle, Black Kingfish, Yellowfin Tuna and Indian Mirrorfish.

The majority of the locations had never been dived before, and this meant a real life voyage of discovery! Needless to say, the film reveals some amazing scenery and awesome diving and spearfishing. Between the water sequences the viewer is taken into thick equatorial jungle and dormant volcanoes! The scenery is diverse, and lends itself to a great story.

OCEAN MEN is the fascinating story of two divers and their unique relationship to the sea. Their goal - dive deeper than anyone has ever gone before on a single breath of air.

For more than 10 years, world champion freedivers Pipin Ferreras and Umberto Pelizzari have been vying for world records. The 480 foot mark has already been passed but their journey into the deep continues. Their passion is carried by a desire to overtake the other and push their own physical limits to the extreme.

Their love of the sea without compromise is what unites these two rivals. However, it is their different personalities and opposing diving philosophies that separate them. Pipin is the "No Limits" man who wants to go deeper and deeper. Umberto, the purist, seeks harmony in the ocean's depth.

OCEAN MEN takes you into the world of these two awe-inspiring freedivers through the use of breathtaking underwater photography, enchanting music, and insightful animation. Marvelous 3D-graphics escort you on a journey through the diver's bodies and show the original diving reflex, which is carried by sea mammals and humans alike. Ultimately, the movie allows a glimpse into the souls of these extraordinary men with the hope of transferring the magic of freediving directly to the audience.

Living legend Jacques Mayol - the father of freediving - introduces us to today's freediving heroes, Cuban-born Pipin Ferreras and Italian-born Umberto Pelizzari. Good friends in the beginning, the competition quickly turned the divers into bitter rivals.

Competition between the two began in 1990 when Umberto pushed his rival from the throne by reaching a depth of 195 feet in the "Constant Weight" discipline. The Italian surpassed world champion Pipin by 9 feet and, thereby, stepped into the limelight of apnea sports. The sport has never been the same since.

Through fitness training and mental preparations like yoga and meditation, both achieve perfect harmony with the sea. Umberto Pelizzari prefers the "Constant Weight" discipline and Pipin Ferreras the ride on a "No Limits" sled.

Both divers attempt new freediving records using very different means to reach their goal. The audience witnesses each diver strive to reach his personal best. Yet, in the end, as both divers point out, the most rewarding accomplishment is not the record, but the journey itself.

On the big screen we accompany the two champions on their dives at the most exciting locations of the oceans, as they prepare their bodies and minds for a depth of more than 450 feet. The breathtaking pictures in large format and the peaceful music convey to the audience the feeling of diving into the deep blue world of danger and stunning beauty. [IMAX]

We were so happy with Goh Iromoto's work with the 2004 DVD that we recruited him again. This time we had him on site in Cayman to oversee the filming and take much of his own footage. If you liked the video updates then you'll love the DVD. It has full coverage of the dives, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and outtakes.

Official DVD of the Sony Freediver Open Classic, held in Cyprus 2003.

The film is a montage of the highlights of three freediving disciplines: dynamic apnea, constant weight and static apnea, and includes interviews with the international competitors.

Showing 2 new world records and more than 12 new national records, the main feature of the DVD is packed with the excitement of the best talent in the freediving world. In addition, there are around 2 hours of extras, including images of the inauguration parade and the closing party, all enhanced by a background of original music.

With the multi-camera-angle shots of the Constant Weight competition, viewers are able to watch the entire duration of a selection of dives, and not just the record-breakers. The difference in standard of the divers enables those watching to compare the different techniques which are used in the sport - for example the use of the bi-fin versus the monofin, and their effectiveness.

In 1 1/2 hours of interviews, we get the unique chance to go inside the minds of the people who dedicate their lives to this fascinating, but dangerous sport. Freedivers from all over the globe give us their personal opinions on different freediving techniques, as well as many tips from experts such as Kirk Krack - who has trained some of the world champion freedivers.

The DVD is by no means only for those who attended the competition, nor is it only for people who already freedive. This film will appeal to anyone who has a passion for extreme sports or a love of the ocean.

Ambrosia Productions is dedicated to promoting the sport of freediving. We want to highlight the beauty and the intensity of freediving to the rest of the world, as well as introducing people to the exceptional community who follows it.
