I train the actors to freedive - to be efficient and comfortable while freediving and acting simultaneously. I did some stunts at the beginning of the movie as well. The challenge specifically on A2/3 is hearing through the balls in the tank! But my usual work, stunts and water safety, would be probably long hours. Everyone puts in a lot of heart and hard work to make a great product and it can be very exhausting.
