I read this excerpt “Imagine” by Ralph Marston today and it resonated with me, with every cell in my body. A designer at heart, I’ve always tried to design my life exactly the way I would like it to be, […]
I find that some days are more beautiful without clear blue skies and a sun shining brightly, with the wind feeling good as it blows against my skin, I feel a sense of hope and wonder being that the world […]
From one of Lewis Howes’ recent Youtube videos comes-this-new-to-me concept: that hyperventilation might actually be good for you…
“Feeling is Understanding” says Wim Hof, better known as ‘The Iceman’, after guiding lifestyle entrepreneur, Lewis Howes, through several rounds of his ‘basic’ breathing exercise – aka hyperventilation followed by empty-lung breath-holding…
The thing I love the most about freediving is that I make friends everywhere I go, it’s crazy! People from all walks of life, that I would’ve never met were it not for this shared passion for apnea. Here is […]
Ever wonder what freediving life is like in the French Riviera? Two freediving girls, Julia from Switzerland and Renee from the US, show you what the small coastline town of Saint Raphael has to offer…. AND IT’S AWESOME! Freediving Girls: […]
My new favorite ambient music for work, meditation, relaxation, static apnea or any other time I need to focus and/or tune-out. Four great music tracks available for download which drowns-out other background sounds and distractions.

I’m excited to be training again with the Saint Raphael Apnee Club!! Being that I am spending most of my time catching-up on computer work these days, I really look forward to our Tuesday & Thursday static apnea and dynamic […]
It has been over a week since I last freedived. Not being able to do the sport I’ve been addicted to for years and being restricted to rest, rest and, well, more rest, and not doing any exercise and (as Dr. Sadek puts it) “activities where you inhale and do not exhale immediately” is torture, to say the least…
Why Do We Freedive? Anyone who has been freediving for a while has probably been asked the question, why? Usually it comes from concerned parents or loved ones back home, as soon as you progress beyond, say 40? 50? 60 […]
Just because the whiteboard was 75% empty does not imply that this dynamic apnea training was not 100% full-on! Thursday night I was a bit under the weather, but I certainly was not going to miss my last night training with the Saint Raphael Apnee Club.
Today is day seven, I’m to do dynamic apnea tonight with the Saint Raphael Apnee Club. My hamstrings and shoulders are sore morning from yesterday’s yoga workout, but I’m getting accustomed to soreness…
Today is Day 5 of my freediving training program which meant Static Apnea was on the schedule. I half fell, rolled, and slithered out of bed. It was like my brain was up and out but my body forgot to follow. It was so sore that it was stuck.
5 eme jour de mon programme d’entraînement, une séance d’apnée statique est au programme ce soir. Les journées précédentes ont laissé des traces et si le moral n’est pas atteint, la mécanique est un peu grippée.
My swimming training program for freediving with interval & sprint swimming. This develops the endurance and velocity needed for freediving.
Training day two and day three with home workouts that train aerobic fitness and weight training. Perfect for freediving physical preparation.
After enjoying fine cheeses and delicious wines in the French Riviera, freediving in near freezing waters of Annecy Lake, seeing the beautiful green hillsides alongside snowcapped mountains in Switzerland, and an intensive five hour hike to San Fruttuoso in Italy, vacation is now […]
Being an avid freediver, water lover and creative type, I’ve arranged a collection of underwater photos to recall and share my earliest underwater experiences in Africa. The photos were taken in Tanzania from January – March 2014, a liminal time, juxtaposed of self and sea […]
