Mayol was the first man to dive at 330 feet (100 meter), during a program of experimental and medical research in deep breath hold diving. Diving the way dolphins do, with one breath, defying the predictions of physiologists. When he was 56 years old he plunged 344 feet deep (105 meters). He developed his physical performance with Yoga and an intimate knowledge of oriental philosophies.

Freediving has for me been transformative, and shared lessons about connecting with Nature that I didn’t even know I needed. The unpredictable beauty of the ocean, even of life itself. When I happened upon a herd of wild Brumbies in the Snowy Mountains, freediving took me closer than I ever thought possible.
