Sara Campbell takes a final deep breath and dives into the sea.0:22
She goes down into the blue water and carries on, going down and down.0:27
Soon the people on the surface can't see her anymore.0:34
She doesn't have an air tank, just a wetsuit, goggles and a monofin, a large flipper that makes her look like a modern day mermaid.0:37
Sara is a world champion free diver and uses only one breath to take her as deep as she can go and back again to the surface.0:47
She holds four world records and a world championship gold medal.0:57
Freediving is one of the world's most dangerous sports.1:03
On the way down, a free diver's lungs shrink to the size of a lemon.1:06
And on the way back, they double in size.1:11
But to Sara, all this comes naturally.1:14
After years of practicing yoga and meditation, she can hold her breath for over five minutes.1:18
And her lungs are 22% larger than other women her size.1:24
Sara feels completely comfortable underwater.1:30
I just jump in and feel terrific.1:33
There are no distractions.1:36
Dogs aren't barking, phones aren't ringing, and nobody is making noise.1:38
Next door, it's totally silent.1:41
Sahra has a busy life and loves every minute of it.1:45
She's presenting a TV show, planning environmental campaigns and training to set a new world record.1:49
