Team UN

I was very fortunate to get invited by Martin Stepanek to join some other freedivers for depth training before the world championship in Hurghada. We were people from all around the world, Japan, Canada, USA, Czech Republic, Brasil,
New Zealand and Norway, and there was a really family feeling to it.

Thanks to Honsa and rest of the crew at Lighthouse Divecenter, as well as the Sahara Hotel, we had wonderful training facilities. The usual day started very early with a light breakfast, followed by some yoga and stretching before we packed the gear and headed out with the boat.

The weather was varied with both nice days and some choppy sea. We also had one day being shipwrecked even before training, but that's a whole story...

The pools of the hotel wasn't heated and therefor very cold (december isn't that hot, even in Egypt...). Static in the ocean was a new challenge, but kind of nice:)



I would love to go back to more of this kind of events, as you learn so incredibly much from training side by side with some of the worlds best freedivers. Thank you guys!
