Orlando Bloom Comes 'as Close to Death as I Could Possibly Get' as He Free Dives 49 Feet for ‘Orlando Bloom: To The Edge’

PEOPLE got an exclusive first look at the actor and thrill-seeker’s free diving journey documented in the three-part Peacock series, ‘Orlando Bloom: To The Edge’

The camera then pans out to reveal the breathtaking location — a 663-foot sinkhole known as Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas — where the actor has been learning to build a tolerance to carbon dioxide as part of his training. Along with free diving, the dad of two — he shares daughter Daisy, 3, with fiancee Katy Perry and son Flynn, 13, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr — challenges himself to learn wingsuiting and rock climbing at terrifying heights. Bloom is then pictured engaging in a series of intense activities, from holding his breath until he physically can’t any longer to screaming as he clings to the top of a towering red rock.
