Life Aquatic: Learning To Freedive - Destinations Magazine. Ever tried to hold a single breath for as long as possible? Freediving beckons the adventurous with both the allure of taking on a challenge and becoming one with a serene underwater scene. One breath, one dive. The premise of freediving is simple, and the act is not shy of mental challenge or physical endurance. As a competitive sport, freediving has been referred to as experiential, extreme and a dance with death inducing depths. As a non-competitive pastime however, the practice is far less treacherous than hyped media suggests.
With the proper safety training and self-awareness there is a safe, peaceful side to freediving. Once a desired depth is reached, there is freedom to experience feelings of weightlessness, transcendent silence and time to get to know the usually foreign water world. The dive isn’t an anxious struggle to stay down for as long as possible. Fluid body, fluid mind Yogic breathing and movement is an essential element of the freediving experience.

When he arrived in Indonesia’s Java, British Statesman Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles rediscovered an ancient civilisation, and a forgotten Buddhist temple that went on to be crowned the world’s largest of its kind.
Two hundred years on, Borobodur remains a place of cultural, physical and spiritual beauty. Many relics are obliged to commune and co¬exist with modern development, jostling for space among suburbia and structures that are low on architectural nuance. Not Borobodur. The 8th-Century Buddhist sanctuary sits serenely in the rural heartland of Central Java, an hour’s drive from Yogyakarta, Indonesia’s unofficial cultural capital. With no inner sanctuary or chamber suggesting a place for monks to meditate, archaeologists believe the temple proper was envisioned as a visual aid for teaching the Buddhist philosophies of life. At no time is the temple’s presence more strongly felt than at 4.30am, while wielding a torch and surmounting the final step of Borobodur’s ‘peak’. Photography - Destinations Magazine.
