Ladies and Gentlemen, proud to present he first group ever participating in the Freedive Bootcamp.
An amazing week is coming to its end.
A week of freediving the beautiful bay of Kotor in Montenegro.
A week of overcoming fears, of learning how to fill your lungs with air and hold your breath for minutes
A week of movement sessions, yoga, stretching and theory sessions in the Lustica Mill House (in the background).
A week of letting go and surrendering to the ocean.
About a year ago when moving into the Mill House it all started with a dream: To become a freediving instructor, get people together from all around Europe and introduce them to this life changing sport. It all starts with those first thoughts. And then before you know it there is a website. And then you have to put some dates on there. And before you know it there is someone asking to book those dates, and then all 6 places are booked out and suddenly you're not making money in front of a computer screen anymore but with being a freediving teacher.
Due to covid this time we didn't have a cook and I was amazed of how a bunch of people who hardly knew each other went shopping together and got lunches and dinners on the table by cooking together. Amazed how a group of people can co-live in one house and get along well, even becoming friends and making plans of whom will visit whom in which country.
I will miss waking up early, jumping into the land rover and driving everyone to the dive spot, putting the suits on and leading people deeper into the dark blue. And I will miss the expression on their faces when they come up from their dives.
Luckily I don't have to wait long as the next group of students is already coming in 6 days.
None of this would have been possible without the amazing help of movement- and freediving instructor .bruno. We met in the internet, decided to do this together and he probably worked more than I did on this. Thanks for that brother and thanks for the awesome meals only a half Italian could cook together, see you next year for the next bootcamps!
