Dolphin Man
2017
As well as providing the subject for Luc Besson’s The Big Blue, Jacques Mayol did more than anyone to establish the sport of free diving to enormous depths without an oxygen supply.

Mayol was a sportsman, a mystic, a vagabond, but above all, a man who believed in testing the limits of experience.
