Welcome to the ultimate Freediving Gift Guide for 2023. Find a treat for all the ocean lovers in your life, no matter their experience.

So, just in case you’ve been living under a rock, I’ll explain things in simple terms. Plastic is bad. We once thought it was great because it’s cheap and pliable.

Ok, so Sydney is not blessed with tropical water temperature, Caribbean-grade clarity or rainbow reefs. BUT! We are actually pretty lucky in Sydney to have some incredible marine life, and beautiful dive sites …

We are couple of months into Covid life, and it’s starting to feel worryingly normal to pass two days without leaving the house. In this post, I’m not going to reflect on all the plans and opportunities COVID has smushed.

The year is 2020, and the month is April. This means that there’s a good chance that you too are stuck at home, not able to access pools, open water, and freediving courses.

You’ve heard of it (at least now you have), but you might still be wondering how freediving works. How can divers hold their breath for so long and dive so deep?

Over the last couple of years, lots of people have asked me what the benefits of freediving are, and why I do it. Isn’t it just sustained torture / snorkelling / a deathwish / falling asleep in water?
