Just registered my attendance at this year's #freediving pool nationals in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Looking forward to it, but am without bigger ambitions. Though, it'll be cool to finally also collect some points under my new national affiliation to make things look less blank on my AIDA competitor's profile.

We are ready ready for "Baby Lobster Season" here in the SoFla. Just a reminder that a "bad day #freediving is better than a good day doing anything else." #BaldysBreakdowns

Quite excited about a bunch of #venturer #scouts being excited for another night doing #freediving with me. Finished the planning and risk control documentation today. Ready for next week.

I'll be running a #freediving induction course (pool, not depth) in May in #Auckland. Dates are 4, 11 and 18 of May on Monday nights at Tepid Baths. Costs are $150 and that gives you a 3 months club membership (Auckland Freediving Club), including the induction course (3 weeks) with any subsequent training session at any of the Auckland training locations.
The induction includes some theory, freediving safety as well as static breath hold (just holding for a (longer) while) and dynamics (swimming (longer) distances under water). Usually after the Monday night training, we're hitting the pub for a bit of a social gathering (optional).
https://aucklandfreediving.co.nz/events/club-intro-membership-may-2026-tepid-baths/
Let me know if you're interested. There are currently 2 spots still available. As there was no induction in April, 8 are already taken up. So, don't delay ... ;-)
Also, feel free to share with others (if there's interest) -

Ich habe heute Nacht geträumt, dass ich mich mit zwei früheren Klassenkameraden zu einer Convention in einem Schwimmbad verabrede, einfach, um eine Chance zu haben, mermaiden zu gehen. So weit ist es also schon.
Es fehlt mir tatsächlich sehr, wöchentlich zum Training zu gehen.
Leider machen fehlende Dauerkarte + hohe Spritpreise in Kombi das aktuell unmöglich, da die Strecke zu geeigneten Bädern doch etwas weiter ist. -
"In what looks like an austere, water-filled room, the French free-diver, dancer and underwater filmmaker Julie Gautier performs a breathtaking aquatic dance. It tells a story everyone can interpret in their own way, based on their own experience. There is no imposition, only suggestions."

"An aquatic spectacle from the French freediving champion Guillaume Néry. Without the aid of supplied air, Néry plunges into the ocean's hidden depths, revealing remarkable views of marine geology and wildlife around the globe. Seamlessly transitioning between a range of underwater realms, the video gives the impression that Néry's journey is taken in a single breath."

Every time we have a 5th Monday pool training session, we do something 'special' at our #freediving club. So last night we did an 'Apnoea Triathlon'.
Putting people into teams of two (matching skills up in a way to try an even spread of capability, like a newbie with an advanced diver, or two intermediates paired up). Then safetying each other and doing three max attempts (STA, DYN, DNF) in one session.
I'm always knackered after one of those. But was quite happy to have scored some decent results without pushing too close to my PBs to leave head room. And my team (paired with a newbie I have coached, scoring three decent PBs that night) we've made first place by points.
WIN!!

I've had a fun night yesterday. Went with a local #Venturer #Scout group (Beachhaven) to do a water safety and #freediving session. The 11 youth *loved* it all, and got lots of boxes ticked for their water safety badges up to level 7 (highest level). On top they've learnt heaps about themselves and how their body reacts, what the signals mean, and how to (re-) act on them, so that they would remain safe (e.g. while #spearfishing) or be able to spot trouble and assist.
It was heaps of work to get the pool across the line by making the case, planning, documenting safety protocols, writing safety documents, having sufficient supervision ratios, etc. But it was well worth it, and we want to do it again (next term or so).
A highlight was to also have a new venturer invested under water in the pool. The Scout Promise was more like a 'hummed column of bubbles', but it made us all happy.
Also, I finally got a photo and some video footage of doing a 70 m demo DNF swim in my freediving gear while wearing my scarf and woggle ;-)

Oooh, I'm all excited!
This week THU the venturers section of a local scout group (Beachhaven) is doing a #freediving session with me in a local pool. It'll be geared towards general water safety, particularly with respect to spear fishing (very common here). It took quite a bit of effort to get that across the line with the pool, but we've got a very good safety concept documented and agreed for it. The kids in the group are already very excited (just like me). They should be able to tick quite a few boxes for their next water safety badge requirements, too.
I've got hopes that the odd one may get into it and join our club (for more comprehensive training). And that we can pull this off for more sessions in the future too.
I'm also keen to get a picture of me doing a DNF (dynamics no fins) dive wearing my Mayfield scarf over my wet suit, too. :-D

Continuing a series of quick studies for paintings in series I want to call "cathédrales de corail" because people seem to be obsessed with rebuilding cathedrals and not coral reefs that looked pretty sacred to me.
Inspired by freediving in Lifou, (Kanaky NC) 2004.

About last weekend.
Am Sonntag war ich zum ersten Mal überhaupt mit im Alldomare – der Fulleschwarm Nordhessen trifft sich dort einmal im Monat und das Bad heißt Merfolk richtig cool willkommen 😊 Diesmal waren vom Südhessenschwarm viele mit, sodass ein toller, bunter Schwarm durchs Wasser glitt. 🧜🏼♀️

Watch: Moment freediver sets new world record with breath-defying 126m plunge.
Russian freediver Alexey Molchanov broke his own 2024 world record in one of the most technically challenging freediving events.
He plunged 126 metres in a single breath to set a new world record at the AIDA Freediving World Championships in Limassol, Cyprus.
