Learning to Freedive in Croatia with World-Class Professionals

If I say the word freediving, what comes to mind? The Big Blue, athletes, difficult, holding your breath for an insane amount of timeรขโ‚ฌยฆ

When I first thought of freediving, thatรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs what came to my mind, particularly after watching the movie รขโ‚ฌหœThe Big Blueรขโ‚ฌโ„ข. Then, I interviewed Lidija Lijiร„โ€ก as a รขโ‚ฌหœCharacter of the Seaรขโ‚ฌโ„ข and learned a little more. I was extremely impressed by her accomplishments and her beautiful-mad-passion for freediving but I never thought it was something that one could just รขโ‚ฌหœtryรขโ‚ฌโ„ข.

We finished the interview with Lidija telling me, that maybe I could come out with her one day; รขโ‚ฌล“sureรขโ‚ฌย I said, thinking it was one of those idle promises or closing sentences but it turns out she was serious.

Two months later I got a message from Lidija asking if I would like to come out freediving with herself and Vitomir Mariร„ยiร„โ€ก on Palmiร…ยพana; I jumped at the chance but was quietly freaking out. I love the water and everything to do with it and have no issue swimming but I have never explored the depths. I have never been scuba diving and have issues diving below 2-metres as I have never been able to equalise properly; so, I doubted my capabilities but put on my big-girl-panties and off I went.
