Stavros Kastrinakis, Liv Philip and i organized a safety freediver course this weekend in London. It is a new course, based on our experience as safety divers, and this was its first outing. It was a great success, in that we had a nice group of people (and Gary)
we managed to convey some technical aspects, like a good grip on an athlete (or how to shut up Liv)
let the students perform tons of rescues
did rescue breaths -some professional
some less so
but what was most impressive was that i was repeatedly rescued by a girl half my size (literally) -while i was wearing 5 kilos of lead and fully exhaled. Massive respect for Becky, who has only been diving for a very short time.
She proves that being a safety diver expands your freediving -it shows you how much more you're capable of.
Plus, also the mark of success, we had fun
and we had beauty
PS if i seemed harsh on Gary earlier, it's only cos i is well jealous he is so pretty, innit
he also took some of the pics here. Surprising, for this is what usually happens when you give him a camera

Shame I couldn't make it on Sunday :( but I'm pleased I did the first part. You all are fantastic people and friends to dive with.
