The Freediving Pavilion will feature some of the most recognisable names in freediving such as Alexey Molchanov, Pepe Arcos, Dada Li and Jonathan Chong to name a few. They will talk about their love for the sport, their achievements in the field, perceptions of the sport – and, of course, inspire more potential recruits!
