Remote coaching
In early 2009 I started some professional remote coaching. For a small fee freedivers from around the world can work with me over a series of 8 weeks. We will discuss all aspects of freediving technique and work through perfecting no fins with some general tips that will help you to achieve your freediving goals.
I'm pleased with how the process worked with my first two students Bjarte Nygard and Christian Ernest, both of whom made DNF finals at the world chamionships in Denmark. I'm happy to work with all levels of freedivers, the only pre-requisite is enthusiasm and an open mind!
For more info email me: DSFreedivers @ gmail.com

My sponsors:
Firecrest Systems, a Palmerston North (NZ) and UK based marketing and web design firm have created a beautiful website for me that will help me to self-promote and will assist to draw further sponsorship in the future. They have also assisted me financially by paying my entry fee to the World Champs 2011. www.FirecrestSystems.com
I wear ORCA wetsuits. The Orca Free was designed specifically for Freediving and definitely works the best of anything I've ever tried. The Orca Breathe is the new entry level, and very affordable freediving suit - very fast and comfortable. http://www.orca.com/
ORCA now allows me to sell their wetsuits as a fundraiser for my diving. Please email me if you are interested in purchasing one of these fantastic suits at a great price. We can ship them all over the world at reasonable prices: info@freedivers.co.nz
If anyone is interested in sponsoring an experienced freediver with proven performance experience, please contact me directly via email through my website or leave me a comment on one of my posts. Any level of support would be greatly appreciated.
