Hi all,
I'm looking for a handful (3-5) of freedivers/spearfishers in the greater Antibes (France) area who might be interested in assisting with a no-limit freedive project, for 10 days to 2 weeks, most early morning, for 2-3 hours, from about the 5th till the 14th of June (dates yet to be fixed).
The dives are experimental dives and will be undertaken on `empty´ lungs. They are part of a larger scientific project dealing with the potential for human hibernation. We'll be collecting important physiologic data, such as heart rate at extreme depth. The dives will involve build-up dives to progressively deeper depths. It is hoped that dives will reach (world) record level standard.
The project is supported by Maurice Lacroix, a high-end Swiss watch manufacturer, and UWATEC and Subgear, subsidiaries of Johnson Outdoors. The project will involve considerable global media exposure, especially as it pertains to the human story and characters behind the project.
In exchange for your kind assistance, I'll be running a free-of-charge freediving workshop (in English) on those little known esoteric things relating to deep/extreme freediving. For interested and highly motivated divers coming from further afield, there exists the possibility for accommodation and meals catering.
Interested divers should have experience and knowledge of deep freediving operations, especially as it relates to boat diving. A first-aid certificate involving EAR/CPR, small boating driver's license, command of the french language, and u/w videography/photography are highly desirable. So too, local waters knowledge. However, exceptional applicants lacking some of these skills will nevertheless be seriously considered. I can speak both fluent French and Italian and so am willing to accommodate if necessary. Please note that a medical certificate is necessary to participate in the practical side of the freediving workshop.
Interested divers should contact me direct via:

Look forward to hearing from you.
