For the third consecutive year, I find myself in Riva del Garda for the Italian Outdoor Freediving Championships. This is the fifth year in a row that the Italian championships, organized by FIPSAS and led by Michele Geraci, are held at the lake.

Ten years ago, I never imagined I’d leave London for a dusty Red Sea village, discover freediving, and set records beneath the surface. In Dahab, at the legendary Blue Hole, I trained with Gus Kreivenas, pushed past my limits, and discovered the thrill, focus, and freedom that only freediving can offer. This story captures the adventures, challenges, and transformative moments of my underwater journey — from first dives to competitive milestones — and offers inspiration for athletes and ocean explorers alike.
