Amazing images have captured a freediver exploring a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean in Indonesia.
Adam Sterm 28, from Copacabana on the New South Wales north coast, was filmed exploring the Boga wreck in Kubu, north east Bali, with friends recently.
Not one to miss a photo opportunity, Adam was photographed posing at the wheel of the ship in an attempt to become its captain.
The gigantic ship wreck is an old coast guard ship that was sunk purposely for diving.
Adam, a professional freediver, competes in competitions around the world where athletes dive as deep as they can using a single breath.
He currently holds four Australian records and in 2016 was ranked fifth in the world in the Men’s with fins category — and can amazingly dive to 104 metres on one breath.
Adam said: ‘Some friends and I headed to the ship to check it out and free dive in and around it.
‘It’s such a stunning wreck and it’s in really great shape.
‘It isn’t old enough to start falling apart so it was fun to swim through it and play around on its structure.’

Numerous fish colonise the wreck, moray eels, lion fish and schools of barracuda or trevally. The bow of the wreck lies at 18 meters and the sterm at 36 meters deep
Freediving Mask is a form of underwater diving that relies on divers’ ability to hold their breath until resurfacing rather than on the use of a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear.

Statues, cars and other objects have also been sunk with the shipwreck.
