Sofia Gomez Uribe doesn't need an introduction. Being one of the greatest female freedivers of all time, she has managed to promote the sport globally, both via her athletic performances as well as via her commercial partnerships. In one of those partnerships, Sofia took part in a truly amazing video spot for Asus. While freediving the Colombian waters, she wore a custom-made wetsuit, fitted with LEDs, that reflected her heartbeat and spoke about her freediving journey.
"I had a connection with the water since i was really small. From the moment i get in the water i become this peaceful, patient and happy person. The ocean really inspires me because i find peace under the water, peace that i can’t really find anywhere else. To expand the world of freediving, we get to know places that not a lot of people go to, so it’s like a hippie life. Colombia for me is really special because i did my first dive in Colombian waters. I think, during my first dive i went to -20m. I really enjoyed it and i just wanted to go deeper and deeper and touch the sand at the bottom of the sea. Today’s technology is amazing because it allow me to go places nobody has gone before and do things nobody has done before. When i get in the water, everything changes and i have to surrender".
