Freediving is my life and inspiration, and has been for almost half a century. I was part of a small freediving community including the classic freedive icons, Umberto Pelizzari, ‘Pipin’ Ferreras, Audrey Mestre,Tanya Streeter, and Natalia Molchanova, whose successors, Guillaume Nery, Alexei Molchanov, and Will Trubridge, followed in their footsteps, and became the mentors to the champions of today.
I’ve been teaching for almost 24 years (since before freediving was considered a world-class competitive sport), contributed to the development of freediving educational programs and continue to instruct primarily for AIDA, (L’Association Internationale pour le Développement d l’Apnea), the longest standing freedive education and certification organisation. My passion is 1 on 1 coaching, supporting the personal challenges of each individual, and in exploring new and alternative training concepts.
