I received a visit from this little ray of light today whilst watering my garden 🙂 After photographing him like a mad woman, and without a macro lens (!), I did a bit of Googling to try and ID him […]

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 […]
Warren Buffet once said, “The more you learn, the more you earn.” I agree, any highly successful human is successful because they use their time right, they’re lifetime learners, committed to learning new things every single day. Never stop learning […]
It was this time last year when I was in a remote Bedouin fishing settlement of the Sinai with guru Rowan Gillies, who asked me, “How long is your life?”. I didn’t know what kind of answer he was expecting; 80, […]
All men who have turned out worth anything have had a chief hand in their own education. -Sir Walter Scott Today I’m 34 years old, so I’ve decided to spend a bit of time doing something I love which I […]
Two meters deeper, four meters away from a personal best (not that that matters so much but still is very exciting!!) and in many ways surprisingly easier than any of my dives in the past. The relaxation, the courage, the […]
From one extreme to the other. Yesterday – super challenging dive with contractions and strong urge to breathe throughout the dive. Today – same depth, actually a little deeper, solid dive that felt so good and so easy that I […]
I did an awesome dive today, which is funny actually. Truly my first thoughts this morning after doing some empty lung stretching was “God, I can’t hold my breath at all today, how am I going do a deep dive?!” […]
Not the easiest dive today but hey that’s ok! Freediving isn’t always easy and it isn’t always supposed to be easy, actually when I think about it, nothing worthwhile comes easy. It’s that commitment, the struggle and the challenges that […]
Super grateful for a beautiful dive today, my mind, body and spirit were all fully tapped into the flow state so the depth arrived naturally and easily. I enjoyed every second of it feeling full of strength and energy. I […]
A video of my dive the day before yesterday. No, it is not a personal best, but a depth that needed repeating several times before going deeper again, so just building up the deep dives again slowly, safely, relaxingly and […]

Relaxing isn’t something that comes naturally for me. My mentality has been programmed from a young age to keep going, to keep focused on forward progress towards achieving my goals… But I’m finding-out recently with some legit rest time that […]
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 […]
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 […]

It was 6:15 am when my alarm went off on August 25th, 2016, the first day of the 5th annual RedCcup competition. The day before, I had announced a 55 meter constant weight dive, which was scheduled for precisely 11:20 […]
Woke up 7:15, feeling rested and strong, happy to have finally defeated the cold which plagued me for weeks 😀 The day started-out in the usual way… walked straight from my bed to the kitchen to turn on the kettle, then to the living room for 10 empty-lung-stretches, getting my lungs, ribcage […]
The Dive I lean back to float Upon the still, bright sea Weightless and suspended Ready to break free Waves cradle my body In this place between two worlds One of breathless skylit air The other clear blue unfurled I […]
