Moments like this remind us why we choose to live on a sailboat in the first place, to push ourselves into uncomfortable situations while sailing and adventure traveling, take on new challenges that teach is what we are made of. Diving Galapagos is no different! We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life. If you’re dreaming about sailing around the world, living aboard a catamaran, planning an ocean crossing, or transitioning to a simpler life of travel and adventure, we hope this episode resonates with you. 🔔 Subscribe to Sailing AWEN for real offshore sailing, catamaran life, ocean passages, and the lessons we’re learning along the way: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@SailingAWEN 🌊 ABOUT SAILING AWEN We’re Holly and Stéphane — former Silicon Valley software professionals who left traditional careers behind to sail full-time. Our goal is a circumnavigation (or at least half of one), sailing offshore and exploring the world by sea aboard our Outremer 52 catamaran. We document: •⁠ ⁠Bluewater sailing & offshore passages •⁠ ⁠Liveaboard catamaran life •⁠ ⁠Adventure travel over 50 •⁠ ⁠Ocean crossings & preparation •⁠ ⁠Life after early retirement •⁠ ⁠Real lessons from life at sea More about us 👉 https://www.sailingawen.com/about-us 🔗 CONNECT WITH US 🌐 Website: https://www.sailingawen.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sailingawen/ 📘 Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/SailingAwen 📩 Inquiries: Sailingawen@gmail.com 🎧 COVERT CASTAWAY PODCAST Real conversations about leaving conventional life behind Listen anywhere or stream at https://sailingawen.com/podcast 🎶 Music by Epidemic Sound #sailing #liveaboard #catamaranlife #outremer52 #fulltimesailing #sailingvlog #boatlife #SwN&x% © Sailing AWEN

Here is how we are Transforming Our Sailboat Mast. We recently pulled and re-stepped our mast; ran all new standing and running rigging, replaced the sails and more. It was a tremendous adventure. We are a new sailing couple. If you dig our journey--we would love you to follow us here or check out our blog: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Thank you for being here.

Book your activity here : https://www.balireply.com/best-activity/unlocated/freediving-in-amed/ Freediving Level 1 Day 1 On the first day in the morning we have a theory class for around 2 hours where we focus in the following topics: Freediving disciplines: special focus to the ones we will see during the course Equipment: from head to toe what we use to freedive and the reason why this equipment will make you more effective underwater. Technique:  we divide the dive to explain how each part should be performed depending the discipline in order to conserve more energy. Equalisation: how do the air volumes react with the changing pressure underwater, which air volumes we have to equalize and what is the most efficient technique to achieve this. Breathing: prepare body and mind for the dive, things to do and to avoid while preparing to perform a breath hold (dive) Recovery breathing: proper breathing technique after the dive to recover properly. After the class we go in the water for 2 hours where we practice all we saw in the class, maximum depth of the day is 12m. Day 2 Similar to day 1, we will have a theory session of around 2 hours where we see the following topics: Safety: what makes freediving a safe sport, rules and how to always keep your dives safe. Rescue: how to do a rescue in case you face that situation. Pranayama: we practise some yoga breathing exercises as they help us improve lung flexibility, diaphragm strength and keep us fit for freediving. In the water (2 hours) we will put into practice everything we have learnt in the class. The maximum depth is 20m. The classes are very dynamic and participatory, we do a lot of practise of every aspect of freediving. The instructor always shows the exercises and makes sure it's clear. We don't focus on depth or time, we focus on relaxation, technique and equalisation, once you have this depth come by themselves. We adapt the course to the need of each student. To keep the quality of the course, we don't take more than 4 students per instructor. We are the only school that finishes all courses fun diving in the Liberty wreck that is amazing scenario to practise everything you learn in the course surrounded by colorful coral, fish, swim troughs, turtles and more. Definitely the cherry on top of the cake, make sure you bring your camera! The price includes  full equipment, certification and the fun dive at the liberty wreck. ADVANCED - Apnea Total The Advanced course is a three day intensive training in which you’ll be taking your freediving to another level: you learn different breathing techniques and different ways diving in order to become a more independent freediving giving you the tools to plan your own training. Day 1 Static The theory class is around 2 hours long, where we explain the MDR (Mammalian diving reflex), which is a series of reaction that happens in our body that help us to conserve oxygen therefore making our breath holds longer and safer. We do a couple of breathing exercises and breath  holds to work on new breathing techniques and mental strategies to perform a better breath hold once in the pool. In the water (2 hours session) we put into practice what we learnt in the classroom and practice buddy system and safety response. You will definitely be surprised by how long you can hold your breath and the power of your body once your mind has the right approach. Day 2 Exhale Diving You will learn a different breathing technique where you will work on isolating your breathing muscles and combining them to find your total lung capacity and work on your lung flexibility. This breathing technique is more suitable for deep and exhale diving. After the new breathing we will explain the reasons and benefits  of Exhale dives:  how and when do we exhale, how much we need to exhale and why is this a very recommended technique.  Students get surprised how deep and comfortable the exhale dives are. In the water (2hours) we put into practice everything learnt in the classroom, the instructor demonstrates each step for students to repeat. Day 3 Deep Dive We talk about deep dives, how to prepare for them mentally and physically. We also learn how to use visualisation as a tool to prepare the dives. We teach the students important stretching techniques for breathing muscles, equalisation exercises for deeper dives, tables to work on their carbon dioxide tolerance and low oxygen, apnea walks, among other exercises to improve your freediving skills. In the water (2 hours)  we put in practice everything that we have learnt in the classroom how to warm up and the deep dive, after we practise how to set up a buoy for training and how to perform a proper safety to a deep buddy. Price includes certification, full equipment and fun dive at the Liberty Wreck.
