Although we're treated to a few more Speedo-shots than I would prefer, this 4-minute video is simply amazing. I can't decide who's more graceful: Mayol -- the first freediver to crack the 100-meter mark -- or the pair of dolphins he swims with. It's no wonder they called him "Dolphin Man."
BTW -- Mayol's life formed the basis of Luc Besson's film The Big Blue, which Mayol co-wrote.
