I managed to get the last spot (!) in Sabang International Freediving Competition 2018 in Weh island, Indondesia. It's a very popular and well conducted competition, so it gets filled up quickly! We were 40 divers competing during six days in November in the three depth disciplines CWT (Constant Weight), FIM (Free Immersion) and CNF (Constant Weight No Fins). Sabang is the largest town on Weh island, referred to as "kilometer zero" as the most north western island of Indonesi

*A single household-no kids-over interested in nutrition-love baking freediver's breakfast. Drinks! Water with Lemon – hydrates and gives a good boost of vitamin C Ginger turmeric shot – turmeric (curcumin) might be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence(!), and ginger is loaded with nutrients & bioactive compounds Coffee – The black gold that Swedes can’t live without… is rich in antioxidants, but the caffeine can inhibit the absorption of vitamins and minera

Apart from diving in a volcanic lake with 39 degree water, swimming and diving with thousands and thousands of sardines was another Philippine’s memory of a lifetime. During my Molchanovs instructor course I joined Adam Stern and his entourage to go diving at the famous sardine spot in the north of Panglao, just outside Almira resort. Adam brought lots of gadgets, such as a 360 video camera made for space travels (or siliar), and his way too expensive underwater camera. I was

How about combining your vacation with freediving in a magical place, training and doing courses with likeminded (nerds) like you and world champions? A few times a year Deep Week is conducted in well-chosen diving paradises around the world, as a training camp for freedivers. It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner, or if you’ve done some courses and training before. During Deep Week you will get the chance to do courses, train and develop with some of the best free

I’ve never tried ice diving before, but I decided to join my freediving friends a Saturday in January. I brought my 3 mm wetsuit that I used frequently for a year while diving in Asia. Yes, it was cold. Severly cold! But still a very pleasant experience. And yes, I also decided to get a 7 mm for diving in Sweden in the future. We went to an old limestone quarry south of Stockholm. We made a hole in the ice with one (very small!) axe, attached a buoy to the ice and dropped the

I chose to do my Molchanovs freediving instructor course in Panglao, Philippines, with Alexey Molchanov himself. Since I’m already a freediving instructor with SSI (Scuba Schools International), I only had to do “half” the course to verify my instructor skills and knowledge. Well, at least so I thought. This was however not Alexey’s intention…! An instructor course is between 8-12 days depending on how quickly you master the skills, presentations and examinations. We started

The last Deep Week of the year took place for the first time ever in Coron, a magical island located in the northern part of Philippine province Palawan. Coron is one of the biggest islands in the Calamari islands and is famous for the world class diving. Several sunken Japanese battleships from WW2 are located around the island and you have one of the world’s few dive:able (active) volcanic lakes here – Barracuda lake. Every early morning of the week we headed out with boats
