Francisco "Pipín" Ferreras Training In Miami

Here's a shot of world champion freediver Francisco "Pipín" Ferreras training at a pool in Miami. Public pool. Park. City.

Freediving is a one-of-a-kind sport where competitors take a breath at the surface of the ocean and then see how deep they can go with just feet, fins, or on weighted sleds that pull them to the depths of some of the world's historic deeps

Pretty famous story have you read it? Maybe there's a doc. Some people say it's a dangerous sport. Certainly people have died. Quite a test of human will against the dominant ocean as a proscenium, obstacle, referee, judge, jury, and hopefully you're a great equalizer. That's a lot of pressure stacking up every twelve feet
