This review is aimed at competitive and recreational Freedivers (deep diving).

These last few months have been hectic with running freedive courses, training, video editing and competitions but I’ve had some time the last few days to start  going through the multitude of freedive photography shots I’ve taken the last few months here in Dahab, Egypt.

For those of you looking at the images in the Freediving section of this site and wishing you could hold your breath to explore beautiful reefs or simply dive deep… Its easier than you thought:) I am currently in Cape Town, South Africa and will be hosting Freedive courses on a fulltime basis for all those interested through my company Freedive Cape Town – part of Freedive International (for those
