📸 Dive into the Joy of Free Diving and Underwater Photography! 🐠

Oh, how I can't get enough of the incredible thrill that free diving brings! 🐬 And you know what makes it even better? Combining it with the magic of underwater photography! 📸🌊 It's like diving into a double dose of pure pleasure for me! 🥳

Now, before we embark on our aquatic adventures, let's remember to keep safety as our top priority. Here are some simple yet essential rules to ensure we have a blast while keeping ourselves protected:

1️⃣ Feeling a bit tired or dizzy? No worries, my friends! Let's skip the dive and wait for another time when we're feeling fresh and energized.
2️⃣ If we're under the weather, it's best to stick to shallow dives. Let's not push ourselves too hard when our bodies need some rest.
3️⃣ After a deep dive, let's take a well-deserved break of 2-3 minutes. Time to chill and let our bodies relax before the next thrilling plunge!
4️⃣ If we ever feel like we haven't taken in enough air, no need to panic! Just take a moment, calm down, and dive again gracefully.
5️⃣ Feeling discomfort in our ears or experiencing dizziness? That's our cue to surface immediately and give our bodies some TLC.
6️⃣ Slow and steady wins the underwater race, my friends. There's no need to rush or make frantic movements. Let's savor each moment down there!
7️⃣ Snorkel lovers, take note! No diving with the snorkel in your mouth – it's better to keep it aside for safety's sake.
8️⃣ Don't forget the golden equation: Safety first, always first! It's our guiding principle for every plunge we take.
9️⃣ When solo diving, let's be smart and stay close to the rocks instead of venturing deep into the vast sea alone.
🔟 For those open-sea explorations, we'll be sure to take a float (buoy) along for added safety. No compromises there!

🔪 A handy knife is a diver's best friend. It's a small but essential tool to free ourselves in case we get tangled in ropes or nets.

🎭 To make the most of our underwater experiences, let's choose the right mask and flippers for maximum comfort and efficiency.

🥶 Worried about the cold? Fear not! Invest in a snug diving suit to keep hypothermia at bay and enjoy every moment to the fullest.

🍽️ One simple rule I've learned from experience: No diving right after a big meal! Let's give our bodies some time to digest before diving in.

🚰 And of course, let's not forget to stay hydrated. Keep a trusty bottle of water handy for a refreshing sip after our aquatic adventures.

🌟 Finally, my fellow adventurers, let's set our own limits and boundaries so we can enjoy every dive with utter delight!

📷 And hey, if you haven't already, why not take the plunge into the world of underwater photography? Get yourself an underwater camera, capture the mesmerizing beauty beneath the waves, and preserve these unforgettable memories forever! 📸🌊

So, let's gear up, dive in, and embrace the enchanting underwater world with open arms and joyful hearts! 🐠💙 Happy diving and snapping, everyone! 🌊📷😄

I prefer to dive alone so that my day is not destroyed.

Let's start at the beginning. Diving with a buddy is undoubtedly the safest approach, ensuring that both you and your companion have someone watching out for each other.

However, personally, I prefer not to compromise the joy of my dives by relying on someone else. When I head to the sea, it's to embrace the freedom of exploration, not to stay at the surface constantly monitoring someone or being monitored.

I cherish the independence to dive whenever and wherever I please, without feeling obligated to synchronize with another diver. Whether I choose to explore the open sea or seek the wonders beneath the rocks, the decision is entirely mine.

Some might perceive this perspective as arrogant or selfish, but diving with another person as a couple often leads to limitations and potentially dampens the overall diving experience, even spoiling the entire day.

In the end, I believe in responsible diving and taking necessary precautions, but I also value the freedom and spontaneity that comes with solo diving.

It's about finding a balance that allows me to enjoy the underwater world to the fullest while ensuring safety remains a priority.

Personal record

Maximum depth: 12 meters (~32 feet)

My favorite mask...

It's a greek legend mask by eurobal diving co with crystal that it accompanies me in all my dives. Although I have other masks such as the cressi sub, this mask gives me the opportunity to see the entire depth and never disappoint me.
