Value for you on this journey
Let's join me on my journey to 150m DNF, and make it your journey too
Welcome! If you’re a freediver or simply someone curious about the sport, I’m glad you’ve found your way here. This blog will be a space where I share my journey to push my personal best in Dynamic No Fins (DNF) freediving, with an ultimate goal of reaching 150 meters. But more than just recounting my dives, this blog is an honest record of everything that goes into pursuing a major freediving milestone.
You will find here:
- Resources and Materials — that you can use to support and enhance your training.
- Useful Tools, Apps, and Gear Recommendations — tailored for DNF training, ready for you to try.
- A Personal, Non-Guide Approach to Freediving — offering ideas for your training and progress.

- Authentic Training Insights and Real-World Experimentation — to show you what your training could look like
- Two-Way Communication Channel — with a freediver eager to experiment with performance and share the results of these experiments with you.
- Failures, Hard Workouts, and Lessons Learned — shared with you to better illustrate how often failures occur, what causes them, and how to avoid them.
Resources and Materials that Support Training
Every freediver needs tools to help structure and enhance their training. As I find helpful books, research articles, video tutorials, or any other resources that add value to my journey, I’ll share them here. These materials won’t be one-size-fits-all, but they might help you spark ideas for your own training and growth. Freediving is an evolving sport, and I’ll provide any insights that I believe could benefit a wider audience, including articles that help explain physiological processes or techniques that contribute to safer and more effective dives.

Useful Tools, Apps, and Gear Recommendations
In this blog, I’ll talk about any practical tools, apps, or equipment that I find beneficial for DNF training. Whether it’s a great timer app, a comfortable wetsuit, or specialized gear, I’ll share how these tools fit into my practice and why I think they’re helpful. Freediving is minimalistic by nature, but the right gear and technology can make a big difference in training consistency, safety, and even performance. I’ll give my honest take on what’s working for me (and what isn’t).

A Personal, Non-Guide Approach to Freediving
Above all, this blog is not meant to be a strict “how-to” guide. Every freediver has their own unique approach, rhythm, and mindset. From breathing techniques to mental focus, each diver finds their own path to reaching that perfect state. I’m simply sharing my path, which is one of many. As you follow my progress, take what resonates with you and leave what doesn’t. Freediving is a deeply individual sport, and while I hope my story inspires and informs, I recognize that your own journey might look very different from mine—and that’s what makes freediving so compelling.

Authentic Training Insights and Real-World Experimentation
Freediving is a highly personal journey, and no two divers approach it in the exact same way. Here, I’ll be sharing training methods I’ve tested myself—some that succeed, others that fall short. I’m constantly refining my techniques, figuring out what works for me in DNF, and finding ways to keep pushing that personal best just a little further. This blog will give you a firsthand look at these training sessions, with all the ups and downs, so you can see what a real freediving journey looks like in real time.
Failures, Hard Workouts, and Lessons Learned
This path to 150m won’t be smooth or predictable. Freediving, especially in DNF, demands a lot: rigorous physical workouts, mental resilience, and overcoming the inevitable setbacks. I’ll share not only the victories but also the frustrations, challenges, and failures along the way. You’ll see the highs and the lows, which are all part of the growth that comes with pushing limits. If you’re a diver working on your own goals, I hope these experiences will be relatable, inspiring, and even encouraging when you face your own obstacles.

So, welcome to my journey. Whether you’re a seasoned freediver, a beginner, or someone just curious about the sport, I hope this blog becomes a valuable space where you can learn, find motivation, and join me in exploring what’s possible underwater. Let’s dive in!
