Really good documentary. Gripping, interesting visuals, good tension, intriguing topic that isn't much explored etc. But plays a little bit too much on human emotion. The interviews with family members are a bit too emotional in my opinion.
I also disliked the fact that even though the main protagonist (the male diver) loses his life to save the girl, she still goes onto establishing more diving records. I find it simply disrespectful towards him.
This should've been an eye opener for her and she should value her life more. I agree with another reviewer, I just cannot comprehend them wanting to lose their lives for a medal/ the beat a record.
Maybe it's in human nature to be this competitive, but how does an extreme sport include a person fainting or "blacking out" a lot of the times still considered normal and something to continue pursuing.
I feel bad for the families and close ones, that they have to suffer just because of the stubborn nature of the divers.
