Ocean men is the fascinating story of two divers and their unique relationship to the sea. Their goal - dive deeper than anyone has ever gone before on a single breath of air. For more than 10 years, world champion free divers Pipin Ferreras and Umberto Pelizzari have been vying for world records. The 480 foot mark has already been passed but their journey into the deep continues. Their passion is carried by a desire to overtake the other and push their own physical limits to the extreme. Their love of the sea without compromise is what unites these two rivals. However, it is their different personalities and opposing diving philosophies that separate them. Pipin is the "No Limits" man who wants to go deeper and deeper. Umberto, the purist, seeks harmony in the ocean's depth. OCEAN MEN takes you into the world of these two awe-inspiring free divers through the use of breathtaking underwater photography, enchanting music, and insightful animation.
