A more typical definition of the rapidly-growing sport is a form of underwater diving without the aid of a breathing apparatus. I had it in my head that freediving was big in Greece so I said I’d explore it while there. I don’t drink or do anything like that anymore and it’s because of freediving changing my life. Despite this worrying side of the sport, Kathy says it is mostly very safe and encourages anyone that sounds intrigued to give it a go. Despite freediving being an individual sport, teamwork is absolutely key, Kathy says, adding that you must “trust your coach with your life”.
