Time to take a break for competitions and what better than ..... freediving!
This time I set off to Spain, Canary Islands, Tenerife!
First stop Madrid! There I get together with another great freediver from Spain, my partner at Sea Dragons, PepeArcos.
The first idea was to go diving in Almeria. So we took off together with other friends in a road trip that would last us 6 hours, squeezed in the packed car together with a buoy, rope, monofins, and all the "light"paraphernalia which freedivers carry around.
The city is beautiful and the trip was wonderful but the conditions for diving were a bit messy.
Wind was blowing strong and it would not let us board the boat. That made the trip got cancelled day after day.
That's the beauty of the ocean. every day is unexpected. You can dive the same dive site every day and be a totally different experience... or not be able to dive at all!
So we followed to the third stage, Tenerife!
The sessions were more to enjoy and relax after all the mental and physical effort from the competition. And it was just perfect!
But the sea is not only to stay bellow! So SURF WAS UP! Together with some friends we headed to the other side of the isalnd and jumped in! Despite the cold and the rented longboard, we managed to catch some waves and best of all, have fun too!
Besides Wreck dives, much canas (as the locals call it beer) and delicious tapas, we had the opportunity to shoot with photographer Marcelo Bilevich sub Argentine great, who flew especially to do these photo shoots with us.
The result is wonderful, check out the pictures bellow.
