Summary
Jung A Kim, a female freediver representing Asia, has played for the past ten years. Her life in the sea, which began in her mother's absence, is now not part of her life but the whole. Most of the year, she lives as an underwater traveler, exploring overseas, not on land, but in the sea.
She, the first Korean female freediver to participate in the world's most prestigious Vertical Blue Competition (only the world's top 10 athletes are invited), set an Asian women's record of 86 meters in the CWT. Deciding to take on a new challenge for a higher record instead of living as a freediving instructor, she struggles to overcome her limitation as she travels through the seas of the Philippines, Honduras, and Mexico.

This time, she prepared for this competition on her own without anyone's help, too. Divers from other countries were accompanied by managers and coaches, but Jung A Kim was alone. She was invited to participate in the competition as the only Korean in both men and women. She accomplished a tremendous miracle here that no one expected. In deep diving, she set a new record of 99 meters, which is 13 meters more than last year. Unfortunately, on the final day of the competition, she challenged herself to 102 meters but ended up making an early turn at 99 meters. After the game, she said with a smile, "I'm sorry for this decision, but I have no regrets."
Now her new journey is beginning again. People expected her to practice touching a depth of more than 100 meters, but her life on land just as usual. She spends time with her family and friends whom she has not seen for a long time. But in her mind, she is already traveling in the sea.
