Freediving Yonaguni Pyramid | Aliens or Lost Civilization? | Yonaguni Monument

- Yonaguni Monument. Pyramid? Lost City? Lost Civilization? Natural? Work of Aliens? The Island of Yonaguni is full of mystery. Lets go underwater to freedivie the Yonaguni Monument.
I first heard about the Yonaguni monument about 6 months back, it fascinated me, and i dreamed to be able to freedive it one day. It's on one of the most remote islands in Japan. There is only a small town, there is almost no people in the street, and only a few shops selling basic items..
From where I am based in Taiwan, its very difficult to get to yonaguni, without going going in a big circle of connecting flights and boat trips. However, by chance, I heard of a one off charter flight being offered, which had some seats open for sale - however I already had other plans for a diving trip to Green Island.... but after some thought, I cancelled my Green Island trip, and reserved a seat on the charter flight. I had to bear all the cancellation costs for my Green Island trip, so it wasn't an easy choice - but this charter flight was an almost once in a life time opportunity so I took it. Despite having just started at a new company, I managed to get some days off work..
Before and during the trip I had cold and fever, which made diving almost impossible - however I managed to do it. To make matters worse, the dive company only gave us 40 mins time at the dive site, which means I had to rush to see the whole monument - no time for breathing-up or relaxing... long swims followed by diving immediately.
Due to the short time at the dive site, the following day we paid a charter boat to give us 1 hour on the dive site. To my horror, right after jumping into the water, my GoPro dive housing flooded with water, and the camera was dead within 30 seconds of my getting in the water... the result is I have no videos from my 2nd dive.
This video is dedicated to all my subscribes on youtube for being so supportive over the past year - without all the positive feedback I have gotten from my subscribes I might not have made the effort to go to Yonaguni and film this dive.
Whether the Yonaguni monument was made by aliens, a lost civilization or it is a natural phenomenon, I just don't know. Nobody knows. Watch the video and decide for yourselves.
This video was also not cheap to produce - It costed me somewhere in between $2000-$3000 US dollars to make - so your support by liking my videos and subscribing is much appreciated.

フリーダイビング 与那国岛 spearfishing, apnea, how to hold your breath, breath hold, underwater - กีฬา

Pointing the camera at himself is just fine, I think it helps to show a lot on how deep he is and his rate of kicking. Cool video!
Ryan R + it gives scale
When he surfaces @ 4:15 the rock formation behind him looks similar so I'm not convinced this is man made.
thank you for allowing me to see such an amazing place
I appreciate every breath I take
while watching this :))
what great lungs to stay under water like that!
It is not difficult with a breathing tube!
@@sergii2945 he wasnt using it
@@sergii2945 /wooooosh
it is no thing to pro free divers he is a beginner
Super long breathe I agree wow
BREATHTAKING footage! Thx for giving me a Yonaguni "moment" in time!!
As for the tips video, I want to do another one sometime, but not sure of the topic. It's important for me to pick a safe topic, and avoid the possibility of somebody mis-interpreting it. Some topics i have though of is"efficient diving - hold your breath longer underwater" or "How to freefall" Stay my video release schedule is not that frequent, but I got alot plans - there will be more - Do check out the older vids, ones like "Justin's Caves" are actually my best vids, but have least views.
Thank you so much for uploading this! Awesome!
stay tuned man. I'm keeping my eye out for any more charter flights heading to this island. There is another site here i'm gonna check out. Also considering making a Audio commentary version of the video describing my opinion on the features of the site alien/natural/man made etc.
This whole story amazes me. Thank you for taking me somewhere I will probably never get to go. It's beautiful.
GREAT video, Dean! Can't stop watching them.
absolutely stunning!!!Definitely going to start freediving..keep them coming!!This is truly inspiring!!
Yes, it does. I need to buy a new camera, and buy a new wetsuit ( my wetsuit was lost on the trip ). But please stay tuned, there will be more videos in the future.
Thanks for the video and the great dive. We enjoyed watching it.
Impressive footage. Thank you so much for this unique document!
Great stuff. Nice to watch.
That was an amazing dive. Thank you for the video!
best view of the site ever sick bro! cool stuff
Amazing. Proper awesome video dude. I love it... wish i was there.
Awesome video!!! Thank you for these breathtaking images!!! :)
First time I've actually seen this vid of the monument. Awesome job man.
Hey Vladi, Thanks for your comments. Sure there is some documentaries on Yonaguni done by the History channel, and im pretty sure thats on youtube. Becareful when viewing these documentary though, sadly a few of them contain downright fake footage and pics. For example any documentary showing 'the face' structure is fake - that does not exist. I will do a another Yonaguni video with audio commentary to explain all the parts of this site - will do it this month - so subscribe - don't miss it!!
Great video. As always very inspiring. I love freediving and your videos inspire me.
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful video
Awesome stuff man. Your videos almost made me cry.
acheirs, I might do another video soon with some audio commentry to describe certain points on the monument. And i will try give the arguments on both sides. There are some face pictures and videos on the net though where the images have been edited to make it look more human/alien made. Alot of pics or video of the 'face' are fake or photoshopped. This video is of course 100% real.
Amazing breath holding. Super intense, and disciplined. Bravo and great video!
Hey man, thanks for your comment. The fins are C4 Falcon VGR 30. Go to my channel, to to the videos tab, then go look at one of my first few videos, you will see a review of the fins there. The video is old / low quality, but will give you an idea.
it's amazing ...Thank you for the incredible and beautiful video
i love all your videos ! free dive for life man ! (Gabriele from sardinia)

Great informative video my friend! We can see details we weren't aware of on this enigmatic site
Gracias por mostrarnos Yonaguni en HD y con tan buena calidad de edición. Tu video parece una mantra, es muy relajante.
Thank you for showing Yonaguni in HD and editing such good quality. Your video looks like a mantra, is very relaxing.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires.
I 💘 this one too!! Ur awesomeness amazes me!!
You can see a few if you look closely.. but yeah, the pyramid is not a hit with the fish. I did another video called "Freediving Japan - Yonaguni Extra (Bonus Footage)" which is just some random footage of me diving around the island when I wasn't at the monument.. more fish in there, and also some turtles. Oh one more thing - Don't miss my "Searching for sharks - Freediving False Bay" video, which i did last week.. i get quite upclose and personal with some fish there.
Magnificent!
One more item added to the Bucket list.
I don't have any camera anymore as the camera was destroyed by a leaking dive housing the day after this video was shot. However the camera this was shot on was a GoPro.
water so clear and beautiful WOW
this is definitely one of my favorite freediving videos not just of yours but of all time i hope one day i can get over to Taipei and meet up with you and go diving. planning a trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia in about 3 years first though
Hey, it's cool too see that you make effort with your channel, I've seen on you vids you reply to most comments, your awesome keep it up

This is really awesome. I found job on a sea just to be near watter and to start freediving, im going to work 2 month and i cant want to start. I really love your vids and u are AWESOME!
This is officially on my bucket list.
Increíble... lo que aguanta abajo del agua!
Hey Dude! nice and exciting monument! more vidio :)
Thanks for the comment. If you want to swim, its a 1.4km swim. Yes its close to shore, but the is a sheer cliff, you will need to start swimming from the nearby beach. Depending on the conditions there could be strong currents. If there are, there is no way, my very first day there, the current were insanely strong. However the second day the I had already decided to take the boat and the currents were gone. this time of year? Well the video was take on the 21st of September.
Thanks risk52! New video should be coming end of the month, so subscribe if you wanna get that out.
Caraka meu. Esse maluquinho merece um Oscar! Ótimas imagens. Muito melhor do que a dos mergulhadores profissionais.
Great vid to make my way to Japan. Congrats.
just an amazing video!!!
Really cool! Closing up to 100,000 views, nice!
Awesome thanks for sharing! Last time that part of the world was above water was 12,000 years ago!
Wow, that's a really good video! thanks for going for me!! :D
So great!!!!!
Cool place and nice diving:)
Folego bem treinado, bonitas imagens!
Love the moment at 5:48 when you do a swivel slash 360 degreeish...so flexible and smooth...a rare fish!

We need more videos like this @FreediverHD!!

great video!greetings from spain
Great video and very great place. History is everything. Maybe we learn handle it someday? Regards Mako 🐬
Thanks mark - Hope to see you in the water soon.
Thank you for this video. Very goog idea filming with the Go Pro. It's no easy filming like you did. Very nice
Julio, i really can't say. but im going to do another version of this video with audio commentary to try and describe what I saw. Stay tuned.
dud you video is AWESOMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here there, thanks so much. The camera is a GoPro 2. But the real reason the video is so clear is thanks to the simply amazing visibility or yonaguni's ocean.
I remember there were some times, the water we so clear, I could not tell I was in water, it just felt like I was flying. Checking out your channel now.. some banging trance tunes in there it seems..
kiss the rain is really good one !
mysteriously beautiful ,inspiring for those who never try freediving
added to my bucket list :)
Lucky, man, hope I get to dive there in the near future!
Amazing ....oooh
thanks. cool movie btw. made me wanna learn free diving :D
Beautiful video
omg you're really really amazing! :D
Gracias por compartir!
Thanks Pagasus! Your welcome to subscribe for more videos in the future! Lead weights are mainly to compensate the extra buoyancy from your wetsuit. Without a wetsuit I become relatively neutral from around 8m, shifting to sligtly negative after 12m. A direct vertical decent, and freediving fins make it easy to push through the first 1-7 meters where I am still positively buoyant.
the blue water is amazing so clear
These are the type of friends I need!
I find it amazing that you don't use any weights even in shallow water at around 10 metres! Without my weight belt i have to kick like mad to stay down until i get to about 15 metres. Great videos
Impresionante !!!
I cant get tired watching this video
Hey Freediver HD! really missing your videos! but could you do a video on how to pack your lungs! i know a ton of people are wanting to learn how! best videos out there!
