IMAX move: Ocean Men

TorontoDive · Jul 20, 2005

Hey, has anybody seen this movie - in IMAX? I was at the Ontario Science Centre last weekend and went to see Ocean Men. It was my first time seeing a movie in IMAX in about 15+ years and the IMAX theatre alone was amazing, but to see a freediving movie - WOW!! I have a new respect for Umberto, Pipin and freedivers all over the world.

If you haven't seen it yet, go now before it leaves!!

I've seen it twice now. I was at the opening, when other members of the Freedive Toronto group I hang out with were there doing live demos in a tank outside for the waiting crowds. I also brought a newbie diving friend back to see the movie (plus I didn't mind seeing it again myself)

Hi there, torontoDive and Free Float. I've never heard of that movie, Ocean Men. Are there any women in it? When did it come out, and is it playing in theatres ? So, Free Float, you did a dive demo? That must've been fun, I would've liked to have seen that. SnorkelCorey

They touch on Pipen's girlfriend, who tragically passed away...
It's a great show but i haven't seen it for a long time. I think all scubadivers would enjoy it!

Damn! That would've been great to see!

I think everybody in the audience (packed house - only a few seats unoccupied) enjoyed it, and I highly doubt that more than 2 people were divers (those being myself and my GF ).

I didn't even know that until I today when I read another thread on SB about the book "The Dive" written by Pipin himself. What a tragic chain of events coming together to form a calamity!

I saw the Imax living reef or some such thing. Great flick untill they started with the political garbage. Total turn off.

Actually no, it wasn't me who was diving - I must've somehow missed the call for volunteers from the Freedive club. But that's okay, my statics wouldn't impress anyone anyway
