Ocean Gravity by Guillaume Néry and Julie Gautier is a short film that rewrite the rules of the underwater world and takes us this time into the world of the weightlessness. Guillaume Néry (born 11 July 1982) is a French freediver specialising in Constant Weight freediving.

On September 6, 2006, he broke the record again at -109 meters in Nice (this record was subsequently broken by Herbert Nitsch at -112 meters in November 2007). On July 3, 2008, Aaron Butel and Partners Ltd dived to -113 meters and set a new world record.
