"Freediving is a way of life. There are so many different reasons why some of us want to explore the big blue. Whether it's because you want to increase fitness, be at one with the ocean, master your body, to manage stress, feel accomplished or blend in with our marine life. Some of us freedive to experience the ultimate feeling of freedom, find peace and tranquility and to observe our coastal ecosystems more closely. Whatever it may be, I promise you, when you get here, you too will want to protect what you love and begin living for our ocean."
