A fish tank in Mjøsa

What do you do if you are a tv reporter planning to intervju a freediver? You would want to get some cool video, but what if you don't have an underwater camera and camera man (also called Diver)... Well, then you go to the closest Pet Shop and ask to borrow a huge aquarium.

This was actually the case when the local tv station wanted to make a report about me 26.july -06, shot in the local lake of Mjøsa.

So they had me talking, putting on my gear and swim around a little for the camera. But what don't you do for the sport, right? Was fun with the aquarium though :)

    Hi, I love the article. Want to see more of that!!! But what is the name of that station? And did you get any footage on that shoot? And where and what is Mjöse? ;)

    The station who shot this was the local section of NRK and it was shown at the local news later. I've got a copy of it on a DVD somewhere, but didn't get any original material.

    As for the last question, Mjøsa is the largest lake in Norway. It could have be nice for freediving since there's not much current and it's very deep (past 400m...). But the downsides are muddy bottom, usually poor visibility and not many things to see. And as I was the only freediver around there, it would be hard to find buddies;)
