Awesome challenges today training in the Blue Hole with Fran and Rafael. I felt super ready for my -65 meter FIM dive after a proper stretching sesh last night (10 empty lung + reverse packs laying face down with chest on mini yoga ball, plus chest / lung stretching with the bridge doing very slow pursed lip breathing, 5+ full breaths to the belly, 5+ to the ribs, 5+ to the chest, 5+ complete breaths).
I love sitting at the bottom of the sea, experiencing the ocean’s depth through all my senses, without thinking… just being… This was tough for me at first, because I was always looking for stuff outside myself to do (have […]

Heading to -62 meters (203 ft) on breath-hold, and after 6 years of freediving I’m still amazed at how challenging this sport is… As I start the dive pulling down the line, I wonder how I will […]
Take control of your life, control of your mind, conquer yourself and you can conquer anything in this world. Of course, it’s easy to be positive when everything’s going your way but are you going to be one of the […]
A discussion with Sally Norton and Renee Blundon about oxalates and how they impact freediving and athletic performance. We will discuss; what ARE oxalates, what foods are they in, how the ‘super foods’ we are consuming may not be so […]
Cardio power and resistance Insanity workout on the last day of the liveaboard while moored in downtown Hurghada 💪 An excellent workout for freediving preparation because it increases your max aerobic capacity (VO2 Max) AND increases your anaerobic fitness (recruiting more […]

One of the most magical things about freediving is it changes the way you view hardness. When you freedive, in a way you emulate water, allowing the soft water to override the hardness of your mind and body. Entering into […]
I freedived to 72 meters today which didn’t go as expected but was certainly an opportunity for growth and fulfillment in every direction. I guess I can’t win ’em all. That’s just unrealistic, to expect that I’ll just continually get […]
I repeated the 70 meter freedive today and what success. The thing I like most about repeating dives is that the more I repeat the thoughts and the actions, the stronger, easier and more enjoyable they become. Repeating a dive […]
I freedived to 70 meters (230 ft) today, a depth I have yet to confront for a long time. Was it the easiest dive? No. Was it manageable? Yes, most definitely. I’ve been avoiding / denying this depth for 2-1/2 […]
