  • About Waterborn

    Water Born is a web series that explores some of the world’s most unique underwater destinations alongside renowned freedivers on a journey of creative passion and the goal of producing mesmerizing visual films and works of art all beneath the surface of the water.

    The ultimate mission is to re-inspire, by a creative “out of the box” style of filming, an appreciation and excitement for 73% of the planet ocean. Water Born was created by Marc Kaiser (President and CEO of Precision Health Care), Kirk Krack (President and Founder of Performance Freediving International) and Goh Iromoto (Award Winning Director / Cinematographer). The objective between the three was simple – To combine the key elements of adventure, freediving, and creativity, and to create a program that would open the eyes of people of all ages around the world to the unique world that exists underwater.

    The main plotline in each episode is for the team to create an artistic short film all within the realm of breath hold. The stories all involve characters on breath hold and for the most part, the entire film crew is also on breath hold as well.
