Professional Freediver, Instructor, Continental and Chilean National Record Holder. When I did my first freediving course I immediately felt amazed by what our bodies can do underwater, how we can adapt to it and, of course, the feelings down there.

Moved by the sensation that apnea dives gave me, I didn’t want to stop, so I decided to quit my job as a scuba diver and take my studies and training to the next level. Freedive is the only place that I have experienced the sense of being part of something, that sense of peace and belonging.

All my photography is on breath hold.
