Exploring the Infinite Depths Freediving Through the Lens of ‘Finite and Infinite Games’
Inspired by James P.

Some dives are smooth, others are tough; but each one is part of a larger, unfolding game.

Depth Takes Time: A Non-Linear Journey
There’s a point in every freediver’s path where progress feels like it stalls. Dives get shallower, old doubts resurface, and the rhythm that once felt easy starts to slip. This post is about those seasons—the quiet ones where growth doesn’t look like more, but like patience, perspective, and staying close to your breath.
