After a morning of catching up on some much needed rest, we head to Divetech to borrow some tools to make some adjustments to the sled's brake. Currently, we can't squeeze the rope hard enough before our brake materials touch, so we're going to shave it down to allow us more squeeze. An hour later we've decided a island tour would be nice.

We squeeze ten of us into the van and head off to Rum Point. This takes us past Bodden Town and other areas effected by hurricane Ivan. The devastation is certainly more visible here than downtown and the West Bay area where we're staying.

It's Easter Monday and upon reaching Rum Point we can see it's very busy. There's the added attraction of Ugland Shipping's Million Dollar Race finish. It's brought in speed demons of all sorts.

Some chicken burgers and mudslides later we're fed, happy and ready for our trip back.

Tonight it's just Mandy, Martin, Doc and me heading off for dinner. Goh is staying behind to crunch digital code. Bamboo and sushi fill us up for dinner, and we're all ready for an early night.

Freediving or breath-hold diving is a type of advanced snorkeling and water adventure that allows us to experience the sights, sounds and challenges of the most natural of underwater experiences.

Human evolution and development has ingrained us with an underwater potential the same as our marine cousins, whales, seals and dolphins.

Without the use of underwater breathing apparatus, freedivers on a single breath of air can explore the underwater realm for minutes at a time with relative comfort.

Freediving is about the comfort and exploration of the ocean realm for recreation, spearfishing, competition or personal discovery.

For over 7 years, Performance Freediving has helped enthusiastic men, women and youth to explore the underwater world with expert training, support and products from the world's top freedivers.

PFI is North America's longest running Freediving training agency having taught over 2300 students to dive deeper, longer, and safer. Let us show you how!
