Description: Lesson i've learned from freediving, for times of crisis: 1: when i feel a panic coming up, i focus on my breath 2: when i feel pressure building, i try to relax into it 3: when i feel confined, i think of the freedom of the ocean 4: when i'm bored, i visualise a nice dive 5: when things get tough, i remember most trainings get tough a third of the way through, and you can tough it out. Alex Atkins is a freediver and the UK national champion for 2019. He teaches and trains with aquacityfreediving.com and you can find him on Instagram here: instagram.com/alex_atkins_uk We filmed this in Cyprus with the help of Infinity Freediving ( facebook.com/infinityfreedivingcyprus ) and safety provided by Alice Hickson. Music is 'Into deep' by Simon Osterhold. Shot while freediving by Daan Verhoeven daanverhoeven.com #freediving #covid-19
