When I was young I constantly asked everyone around to draw me divers and the underwater world.
If I saw a magazine with a diver on the cover, I would stop at nothing, until I got it in my hands.
I remember diving on my fathers back, long before I learned how to swim, and how my mother
transformed the story
“Little Red Riding Hood”
to the “Red Diving Hood”
and the “Sea Wolf”.
I fell in love with diving
when I was young
and ever since then,
I’ve been chasing that dream.

My parents couldn’t afford diving lessons, so right after high school I was able to earn my own money, and I started taking my first classes.
This is also the time I came across freediving for the first time.
The concept of diving on a single breath, got me very excited.
In 2005, I started my training, and I was completely hooked on this pure form of diving.

Two years later in 2007, I got employed full time as a commercial diver. This gave me the opportunity to learn a very specialised form of diving, which is saturation diving. Due to different events in my life,
I had to set aside training and work
as a commercial diver
for the next 10 years.

I felt that there was something missing and that was freediving, because the most happiest times in my life, where when I was freediving, training, competing and spending time with other freedivers.
In 2017, I decided to fully get back to freediving.

Now I teach and pass on my knowledge to my students, and most of all, I get to share my passion.

I live my childhood dream,
I'm a diver.

I'm a deep addict.

In terms of freediving training nothing will replace diving in the water. In the other hand when we have limited access to the water dry training will maintain and develop our breath hold abilities. Of course dry training is essential and in some point every freediver use it for their routine. Last pandemic years with […]
