Singapore trip with diving!
It was scary at first knowing that I would travel out of the continent, but I did it anyways. I am thankful to make a headstrong decision to buy the trip the next day when I saw it for $500 (round trip). It also means a lot to me because I wanted to travel to build my own worth and happiness, which I struggled with for the longest time. It was a challenging 18 hours plane trip from LAX! It was fantastic and I will definitely come back. The weather was hot indeed and I was carrying my camera equipment and backpack for 6 hours before our airbnb. Then we stayed at the Marina Bay Sands, which was SOO AMAZING. Especially the infinity pool with the beautiful view of the city. Wish it was longer! I went in February and march, which they say is the best time to go.. and I was amazed by everything.Thanks for watching my video.
Singapore Freedivers weekend getaway in Bali
We are lucky to be able to be able to freedive in nice locations within a few hours flight time. This time we are off to Bali where we dived at the infamous Liberty wreck in Tulamben.

Singapore Freedivers stopover in Taiwan
Singapore Freedivers spent some time away from the ocean to visit the inland of Taiwan during a stopover.
Scooting around to experience the real Taiwan. Rented a scooter near the main station to explore the beautiful countryside and checked out local delicacy.
Food is everywhere so we never had a hungry moment. The xiaochi in Taiwan is second to none.

We got completely trashed. I've got no control of the puck, just pushing it in front instead of getting it close to my body, no stamina and no breath hold.

Lessons I Learned From Failing My SSI Level 1 Freediving Course // New Freedivers Should See This
This is the first video documenting my formal freediving training on the journey of becoming an SSI freediving instructor. It shows a bit about the concepts you learn in level 1, as well as how quickly (or slowly) or slowly you can progress. I'm documenting my challenges and successes in order to show freedivers of all levels what the learning process looks like and answer any questions that new freedivers might have about getting into the sport.
As you can see from the title, I failed my freediving course on the first try. Apparently, this is a fairly common thing to do, with somewhere around half of students not passing within the 2.5 days that are allocated to the course. However, this isn't a reason to give up as the sport is about a gradual progression of learning the skills to become a better freediver! It's not just about certifications. It's about learning the skills to make you a safe and competent freediver, and it's about knowing when to take a break from pushing yourself to get a certification so you can continue to freedive another day.
-------------------------------
Video Script:
So it’s day one of my Level 1 SSI Course. My instructor, Edwin, is giving us a tour of all of the diving facilities at Freedive+. I have one other student from South Korea here on holiday who is also hoping to get her Level 1 training! You’ll get to meet her a little bit later.
After our tour, it was time for our freediving theory! This included how to choose and use equipment and a short anatomy and physiology lesson and how this relates to freedivers. We also learned about how relaxing and preparing for a breath hold is super important. Contrary to popular belief, hyperventilation is a bad idea! We timed our breath holds, and I held my breath for 3 minutes and 13 seconds. That’s over 1 whole minute longer than I’ve ever done before!
Now it was out of the classroom and into the pool.
Once we got into the pool, Edwin taught us how to use weights to achieve neutral buoyancy and how to do turns with freediving fins on. As blackouts become more common when you start seriously freediving, Edwin also pretended to black out so we could learn proper rescue techniques. We finished off our day with an introduction to static apnea, where a diver holds his or her breath for as long as possible while holding completely still. When you’re in the water, something called the mammalian dive reflex kicks in and you can hold your breath even longer than on dry ground! I’ll go into mammalian dive reflex in a later video.
On the morning of day 2, Edwin introduced us to some full body stretches to increase our flexibility, and then we headed to the water to dive on the line for the first time. As always, Edwin demonstrated the skills first and then dove down to make sure that we learned the skills safely. Soy was able to dive comfortably to 10 meters, but unfortunately, here’s where it gets bad for me.
Just a reminder for those non-divers, equalizing is what you when you are descending in an airplane to relieve the pressure on your ears. You do this and more when freediving, but there is too much information to go into the topic here!
We took a 2 hour lunch break and then returned to take the knowledge test, and then it was back into the ocean to figure out this equalizing business. We tried everything from changing head positions, experimenting with different techniques, and even different body positions. Once again, nothing worked and I was stuck at 4 - 6 meters.
It’s kind of disheartening to have your anatomy be something that is the limiting factor rather than your physical or mental capability. That’s a huge challenge and hopefully we’ll be to overcome that!
When I got home, I learned about one of the most amazing pieces of freediver training equipment! Yes, free divers use balloons can help train strength and awareness for the little muscles in the throat, mouth, and sinuses that are involved in equalization. This was just the introduction into the weird world of free divers and attractive things they do in the pursuit of diving deep.
Text: 6:30 am
Okay so here we are at 8 am on day 3 of my level 1 SSI freediving training. Um, we have one more open water session and more theory to do, but I’m feeling pretty nervous since I wasn’t able to equalize more than 4 meters yesterday. So hopefully I pass.
Edwin, Soy, and I headed back into the ocean, and today was the day that I had a breakthrough! After two hours, I was finally able to make it down to 10 meters without feeling pain in my ears or sinuses. In addition, we had some company during this open water session!
We still had a few more skills to complete, but Soy’s vacation was over. She left with a Level 1 pool certification, and while I didn’t complete my level 1 today, I’m here for several months and still have the time.
