After making waves across the international festival circuit, Diving Into The Darkness—the extraordinary documentary chronicling the life and legacy of pioneering cave diver Jill Heinerth—is set to debut on major VOD platforms on June 6, 2025, during World Ocean Week. The film will be available across Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Google Play in the U.S. and Canada, with global rollouts to follow.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Nays Baghai (Running Cloud Productions) offers a jaw-dropping yet intimate exploration of Jill Heinerth’s courageous underwater expeditions in Diving Into The Darkness—from Antarctic ice caves to submerged labyrinths beneath our feet. With stunning cinematography and rare archival footage, the film captures the physical and emotional challenges Jill has faced in a career spent going where no man or woman has gone before.
Already a decorated festival favorite, the documentary has earned critical acclaim for its visceral storytelling, technical beauty, and timely message about our fragile relationship with the planet’s most mysterious frontier: the underwater world.
“It’s been a long journey waiting for this moment,” says Jill Heinerth. “And I couldn’t imagine a more fitting time to release the film than during World Ocean Week—a time when we pause to reflect on our deep and often personal connections to the sea.”
The film is a collaboration between Heinerth and Baghai, who spent years traveling the globe to authentically recreate moments from Jill’s life. From her first pink Oceanic regulator to diving with the PRISM2 rebreather, the film pays tribute not only to her gear and grit—but to the greater diving community that made it possible.
