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'

Up close and personal: Alex Roubaud says freediving allows them to see the world in a different way than that of a scuba diver
 
 
Mr Rouband says: 'We always alternate the dives, one on surface and the other one in the deep firstly for security but it also allows us to double the contact time with animals'

Mr Rouband adds: 'We know the other perfectly and a few words are enough to understand each other. Sharing our mood at the end of the session is very important and rewarding
It's a beautiful world
