Te mana o te moana took part in the shooting of a documentary on whales of Rurutu featuring two international champions in freediving, Frederic Buyle and William Winram.
The documentary is a result of collaboration between Christian Petron, manager of the company Cinemarine (France) and Boris Raim from Sound and Vision Company GMBH (Germany).
It highlights the outstanding freediving talent of Frederic Buyle in underwater photography. A free diver is able to capture unique moments thanks to his simple equipment and ease of movement.
Professional free diver, Frederic has been taking pictures down to 55m on a single breath on remote locations where scuba divers can’t access. For documentary in Rurutu, it is the Canadian athlete William Winram, one of the ten best free divers in the world, who was shot by the camera of Frederic among whales.
The clear water in Rurutu allowed an outstanding quality of photos and video. Dr. Cécile Gaspar, president of te mana o te moana, was invited to the shooting as a scientific expert.
