#95 - Dean Chaouche | Functional Freediving

Dean Chaouche began his relationship with the ocean at a very young age on the beaches of the Gower just off Swansea, Wales.He began surfing at a young age and from that I developed a strong desire to travel and surf all over the world.On his travels he decided to take a surf trip to Indonesia, while looking for a yoga school to practice, he stumbled across “Freedive Gili & Yoga” run by UK record holder Mike Board. There he stayed for around a year and a half, both training and teaching under SSI. While there he developed a taste for deep diving and decided to follow this avenue of freediving with more fervor. This is where he began the next phase of his life, competitive freediving.Dean is a 9x British Record Holder and Molchanovs Instructor Trainer.For all episodes of The Freedive Cafe Podcast, information about freediving courses, coaching, workshops and retreats in Dahab, Egypt, visit www.truedepthfreediving.comTo support on Patreon: www.patreon.com/freedivecafe
