I started out my career in freediving as a safety diver for depth training and competitions in Panglao, Phiippines.
Before I ever taught a course, I was a safety diver.
Long before certifications and coaching, I was in the water watching, learning, and taking responsibility for another diver’s life at depth. That experience shaped everything.
Being a safety freediver taught me to read subtle signs, stay calm under pressure, and respect the fine line every diver walks. It wasn’t about performance — it was about presence.
Now, as I run my freediving school, that foundation is at the core of how I teach. Safety isn’t an add-on. It’s the starting point.
Every student I train carries a piece of that mindset with them into the water.
Grateful for where it all began.
And thankful to be again invited to be a member of the safety team at the tulamben pool games .
