The Eighth Wonder of Freediving
Posted By Emma Farrell on 6 April 2007
My visit to Dubai was an incredible adventure. It was an opportunity to road test the AIDA Instructor Courses that I’m currently writing with the AIDA Education Commission, the chance to visit an incredible country and help grow awareness of the sport of freediving. Above all, it was an opportunity to meet an amazing woman and form a friendship for life.
I’ve left enthusiastic divers and two instructors in Dubai and I’m intending to return to teach more courses in the autumn. I know that this is the start of big things for freediving in the UAE and I’m thrilled to have been a part of it.
So many thanks to Sara-Lise Haith of Divas in Dubai, Paul, John, Chatura and Nina at Divers Down in Khorfakkan, The Oceanic Hotel and Khorfakkan Youth Hostel, Ibrahim Al-Zubi and Melrose Valencia at the EDA, Emmanuelle Landais at Gulf News, Nadim Majzoub, underwater photographer Christa Loustalot and all my students.
