I first experienced the underwater world as a spearfisherman in the crispy waters of Cape Town. The life and tranquillity of the kelp forests captivated me in every way. I was soon looking for more, more understanding, of what lies within. What is happening in my body when I am down there, that makes me feel so good.

A few months later I started my freediving education in Indonesia and before I knew it, I had completely fallen in love. I had found the thing that resonates with my being more than anything I had ever done before. Freediving had showed me something that was buried dormant inside me, a passion for teaching. There is no greater feeling in this world then the moment that your student “gets it”, they come up from a dive with euphoria and a understanding why we do what we do. They just get it!

In 2016 I took part in the Australian depth nationals in Bali where I broke three South African Records. My experience with deep freediving has increased my ability to help students recognise and overcome many obstacles faced in depth.
