The Science of Freediving ThinkTech Hawaii

For my birthday, I had the pleasure of discussing Freediving on ThinkTech Hawaii! My first ad-libbing experience in a studio was a blast (despite a few minor faux pas).šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜

Departure

Freedivers dive deep to see how majestic the view under the ocean. This is how freedivers dive in one breath.

Truly Free

Freediving has no style. Freedivers are free to move side by side under the ocean.

Curious Sharks

Ran into these cuties while freediving a cave!

These smaller sized sharks grow to about 5.25 feet and will rest during the day in sand, under ledges, in the back of caves, or even on each other. Unlike most other sharks, whitetips do not rely on swimming to breathe, because they can pump water over their gills while lying still.

Beacon of Light

A gaze from the top of my newly rigged mast.  I was hoisted by the main halyard to put on the last piece, the backstay, while my jib halyard acted as the temporary backstay. My hands were a little shaky at the top, as I carefully extracted my phone from my tool pouch and muttered “don’t drop your phone, don’t drop your phone. Needless to say, my phone and I made it down safely and the sunset was worth it.
