Dubbed as an "underwater human flight experience," this incredible water suit called Oceanwings by Guillaume Binard was created in partnership with [Aqua Lung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-gallery) and brings a flying underwater experience.

The wing-shaped blue suit design may look familiar as it was inspired by skydiving wingsuits. It is made from a neoprene material, which allows for the ultimate and thrilling flying underwater experience. Free-diver Pierre Frolla took the suit for a test drive through the beautiful and enigmatic oceans. Equipped with nothing else but his suit, director Jerôme Espla follows his journey and the emotions associated with such a distinct and thrilling experience. Though there has yet to be any talk as to whether they will be manufacturing the Oceanwings, it is a revolutionary product that could introduce a new sport into society.
