By following their lives, we see how they found a team and improved the safety measures for the people participating in the sport. However, not everything can be planned out perfectly in such an extreme sport. This shows us the dangers even with the best safety experts around and the medical staff if anyone is in danger.

When it comes to Alessia’s side in the documentary, we follow her chase to be a world record holder. This sees her competing against divers who are after their own records, in friendly competition.
