Freedivers Furry Frolic

The number of calm, clear and waveless days that present the opportunity to go freediving in Bass Strait along the Victorian Coast, the best ones are rare. The great unplanned they tend to be.

And what a surprise we received, even amidst the milky green waters, the beauty of nature’s random acts cannot be truly anticipated.

Build Resilience, Extend Comfort & Capacity Without Resistance in Cold Water

Ice baths may look rad but can lead to stress and injury.

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.
