00:11Free diving is one of the world's deadliest extreme sports.
00:15It's very simple. The deepest dive wins.
00:19You've got to swim the length of a 70-story skyscraper.
00:24Three, two, one.
00:29Free diving is an extreme sport.
00:33And extreme sports have extreme consequences.
00:38One more.
00:41I'm Alessia Zucchini and I'm from Italy.
00:45Even when she was young, Alessia had some supernatural power with free diving.
00:51She wanted to become the deepest woman in the world.
00:57Steve had this massive reputation as the best safety diver ever.
01:01If a diver wants to feel secure, they're very happy diving with someone that they're familiar with.
01:06He believed in Alessia and so he started training with her.
01:12Alessia and Steve, they had a very special connection.
01:16Hello.
01:17It was just a really good match.
01:20This amazing lady is going to win the world championships.
01:25Alessia was after the world record, so she was going to push her limits.
01:35She wanted to be better than the best freediver ever.
01:40When you push close to a limit, a lot can go wrong.
01:47Always.
02:03Please get scared like this one.
02:04I'll be right back to you.
02:04You're right back to you.
02:07You're right back.
