Nothing better than waking up to a message of your proud parents forwarding a local newspaper article about their son . . . . . . Who knows, maybe this will lead some Detmolder's sign up for a freediving course with @freedivebootcamp in Montenegro. . . . #freediving #montenegro #freedivebootcamp #followyourbliss #breathing
“Take the piano teacher, for example. He always says, Relax, relax. But how can you relax while your fingers are rushing over the keys? Yet they have to relax. The singing teacher and the golf pro say exactly the same thing. And in the realm of spiritual exercises we find that the person who teaches mental prayer does too. We have somehow to combine relaxation with activity… The personal conscious self being a kind of small island in the midst of an enormous area of consciousness — what has to be relaxed is the personal self, the self that tries too hard, that thinks it knows what is what, that uses language. This has to be relaxed in order that the multiple powers at work within the deeper and wider self may come through and function as they should. In all psychophysical skills we have this curious fact of the law of reversed effort: the harder we try, the worse we do the thing.” - Aldous Huxley He would have been a great free diver! :) #freedivingsafety #underwater #safety #freedivebootcamp #thegobetween #downinmontenegro #playadecarmen #lustica #cenotes #aidainstructortraining #aidafreediving #UnderwaterPhotography #FreeDiving #Tulum #cenote #visitqroo #cenotemaravilla #qroo #quintanaroomexico #freedivingphotography
Meet the October Freedive Bootcamp group: Jelena from Serbia, Matias from Argentina and Kate from the US. We were a bit sceptical about water temperatures in October first but learned yesterday that it is totally fine to stay 2h in the water using 5mm suits. The freediving in Montenegro continues for now. Suepr proud of this group, all of them figured out equalisation on the first day and went pretty deep already! We just updated the dates for next years freedive bootcamps, whoever is interested can now get a 15% discount by pre-booking for next year.

Ladies and Gentlemen, proud to present he first group ever participating in the Freedive Bootcamp. An amazing week is coming to its end. A week of freediving the beautiful bay of Kotor in Montenegro. A week of overcoming fears, of learning how to fill your lungs with air and hold your breath for minutes A week of movement sessions, yoga, stretching and theory sessions in the Lustica Mill House (in the background). A week of letting go and surrendering to the ocean. About a year ago when moving into the Mill House it all started with a dream: To become a freediving instructor, get people together from all around Europe and introduce them to this life changing sport. It all starts with those first thoughts. And then before you know it there is a website. And then you have to put some dates on there. And before you know it there is someone asking to book those dates, and then all 6 places are booked out and suddenly you're not making money in front of a computer screen anymore but with being a freediving teacher. Due to covid this time we didn't have a cook and I was amazed of how a bunch of people who hardly knew each other went shopping together and got lunches and dinners on the table by cooking together. Amazed how a group of people can co-live in one house and get along well, even becoming friends and making plans of whom will visit whom in which country. I will miss waking up early, jumping into the land rover and driving everyone to the dive spot, putting the suits on and leading people deeper into the dark blue. And I will miss the expression on their faces when they come up from their dives. Luckily I don't have to wait long as the next group of students is already coming in 6 days. None of this would have been possible without the amazing help of movement- and freediving instructor @giustozzi.bruno. We met in the internet, decided to do this together and he probably worked more than I did on this. Thanks for that brother and thanks for the awesome meals only a half Italian could cook together, see you next year for the next bootcamps!

Yesterday I hit a new PB (personal best) during the Deep Week in Croatia: 59.1 meters in 2:18 minutes free immersion (FIM) with the mask on. I was diving to 50 and 52 meters a couple of times already but never had enough air left to equalize after 45 meters and had to turn. What made the difference yesterday were two things: 1) I switched from continuous to sequential equalization after taking the mouthfill and arrived at the end of the line with enough air left to go even deeper. 2) I was totally relaxed, the hole dive felt like a dream, I wasn't at all thinking about what happens in the next couple of seconds or how much is left to arrive at the bottom or at the surface, I was totally in the zone and spent the whole day like flying on a cloud. It feels like a new chapter of freediving has opened for me. I will now focus more on exhale stretches as I felt pretty tide in the chest at 59 meters. I won't go deeper than 60 meters for now, just continue to go to that kind of depth and relax, accept the pressure and do more stretching. Who knows, maybe when going to Dahab during the end of the year I will hit 70 meters. #personalbest #freedivebootcamp #deepweekcroatia #aidainstructor #thegobetween ⁣⁣#freediving #freedivebootcamp #freedivingmontenegro #montenegro #kotorbayvilla #UnderwaterPhotography #breathing #freedivingphotography #apnea

Alejandro already had his Aida3 certificate and stayed with us for 2 weeks for regular training, slowly getting back to speed after a longer freediving break. We slowly got up to speed doing many dives to 30 meters, then slowly increased to dives to 40+ meters improving our mouthfill technique. The picture shows one of our favourite spots on Lustica where we can do dives to up to 62 meters. #freedivebootcamp #defender110 #carlifestyle #vanlife #officetoday #downinmontenegro #thegobetween #makeyourownclimb #lusticamillhouse #mouthfill #apneamontenegro #aida #aidainstructor #freediving #aidafreediving #kotor #kotorbay #veslocamp #freedivingphotography #breathhold #instatravelling #photooftheday #homeonwheels #lovemylandy #mylandy #instadefender #outdoors #nature #lustica
