Underwater base jumping

"CGI? There is no CGI in this, what have you been smoking (and can I have some?)
This a was film shot over multiple takes of the free-diving "dive"."

Sorry, but it just looks really fake to me, especially in HD. If they stated never to have reached the bottom, where does the footage of him at the bottom come from???

Ever heard of a thing called a "ledge"?

Am I missing something? Isn't this video mostly CGI? They way they quickly switch angles at the start of the "jump" with no cameras, divers or gear from the previous angle in sight (just like a video game) and the lack of obvious lighting on the way down.

they shot this over multiple dives over 4 days.... no CGI.

the multiple dives provided the multiple camera views.

Haven't been there to know if there is a ledge or a ledge of that size. The cinematography made me interpret the scene as him reaching the bottom of the hole and the lighting and jerky body movements lead me to think it is graphically enhanced. Nice video, but I'll just choose to consider it mostly an artistic work of fiction.

BTW, I did view other free dive to see if any had a similar look and style, but since most were one shot takes I was unable to find an that looked remotely similar.
