018: The Safety Mindset in Freediving - Going Beyond Safe Into the Alive 11/15/2024

018: The Safety Mindset in Freediving - Going Beyond Safe Into the Alive In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of safety in freediving, exploring how it’s not just about avoiding danger, but about fostering awareness, planning, and mindful presence. I share insights from my training session, where I attempt a maximum distance dive in dynamic apnea. Freediving, as I’ve come to understand, requires a unique blend of technical precision, mental focus, and a safety mindset developed over time. The episode delves into the three essential phases of safety in freediving: mental preparation, handling challenges during the dive, and, if needed, rescue by a safety diver. Through personal reflections and moments of mindfulness, I discuss how these principles apply not only underwater but also in navigating life's uncertainties. Freediving has taught me to embrace the present, push boundaries safely, and seek awareness over fear—lessons that can transcend into every part of life. Whether you’re a seasoned freediver or someone seeking inspiration on the importance of resilience and mindfulness, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore what it means to go beyond “safe” and step into a life truly lived, fully alive.
