Hi team, we have just created this equalisation video where we walk you through the top 4 exercises for solving common equalisation challenges. And getting you Frenzeling in no time!

These are the exact exercises we give our clients and students, consistently delivering excellent results.

We focus on simplifying the process, making the exercises easy to follow and understand.

By practising these exercises, you’ll build strength and gain precise control over your equalisation muscles.

During these drills, we keep the mouth closed and avoid pinching the nose because the tongue mimics the movements used in Frenzel equalisation. You’ll continue breathing naturally while the tongue shifts air freely between the oral and nasal cavities. Enhancing your technique trains the soft palate to remain open during Frenzel equalisation.

Be sure to give the video a like and subscribe. We have plenty more videos coming in the next few weeks!

Today was pretty special! We made the most of the weather and ran our youth program at the beach. For the youth we are working with, this was their first time entering the ocean, the first time using a mask and snorkel, and the first time seeing underwater. They got to experience weightlessness, sealife, and completely switch off from the outside world. The kids were absolutely stoked afterwards!

It's such a privilege to be able to share these skills and experiences with the young people supported by Coast Shelter.

More to come on our program Breathe For Life soon!

Some of my favourite shots from Fiji.
In less than one month, I'll be back on island time where I belong. Photo number 10 is my favourite, lol.

I'm way too excited about this to do the whole "coming soon" social media dance, lol!

So here it is: next year, we're sending it to infinity and beyond... twice! To Baja, Mexico!

First trip in June: the biggest Mobula Ray migration in the world! And we're going to get right in the middle of it!

Second trip in November: the great Mexican Sardine Run! It'll be every wild animal, including us, in a huge bait ball!

If you want the info pack on either one, comment "yes" with "Mobula" or "Sardine."

The early 🐦 price is on my website now, and it's all ready filling!

To this day, this is the most insane experience of my life! We had been looking for whales for hours and had no luck. The wind and swell had picked up to the point that it was time to call it and head in. There were huge rolling waves and strong winds. Just as we were getting ready to head in, we came across a pod of whales that wanted to play. The captain gave us a 15-minute window. It was hectic jumping in the ocean out at sea with poor surface visibility,big waves, no fins, and a heavy belt, lol.

Big love and a huge thanks to all of our beautiful freediving instructors, everyone that helped with the breathwork, yoga and icebath sessions, all our mates who brought the good vibes and helped turn this trip into one big adventure!

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of diving on the same line as .zecchini at the in Italy.
Not Gunnar lie gunna lie, lol I was a little bit star-struck 😅 It was so amazing to be diving on the same line as the world record holder in full beast mode and seeing that level of training was actually insane!💪
I was in holiday mode and croissant/pizza mode 🥐

Fiji Freediving Yoga Adventure Trip

Join us this April for an all inclusive jam packed 6 day and 5 night trip that will take place on two of Fiji’s smallest islands – Drawaqua and Kuata.

We will spend the first 3 days of the trip at the Barefoot Manta Island Resort on the island of Drawaqua. The resort is well known for its Manta Ray feeding site and cleaning station, where we will dive daily with these beautiful creatures, train freediving and practice yoga.

As we don’t like to stay in any location for too long, we have arranged for a boat to take us to our next location for the second installment of the trip, Kuata Island. Here we will spend the last 3 days and 2 nights, freediving, learning about ocean conservation, planting coral, freediving with sharks and have the option of scuba diving with Bull Sharks!

This all inclusive trip is limited to 14 guests. We have 5 spots left.

Dates 25-30 April
Price $2200 per person
Deposit $500
