Two French freedivers and photographers have taken an incredible selection of photos while diving with underwater wildlife.  Alex Voyer and Alex Roubaud have been free diving for over 10 years, getting up close and personal with ocean creatures.
 
Mr Rouband says freediving is 'probably the most environmentally friendly and most discreet way to get in the water'
