Welcome on my blog for the daily diary of my preparation here at Dean's Blue Hole, in Long Island - Bahamas for the
upcoming Depth World Championship.
I will try to share with you almost everyday my life here in Bahamas, with some videos, photos and
comments.
All the shot (pictures and footage except underwater of course) will be made with my telephon, a SONY ERICSSON U10I 8.1
megapixels, as Sony Ericsson is the new partner of AIDA FRANCE French Team.
Yesterday and today were my 2 first training sessions here. Just some fun dives and a first try at 68m in Constant No
Fins today. Feelings are quiet ok even I feel that I am still a little jetlag. I did the last part of the ascent pulling on the rope to save energy and to make the dive a little
longer.
Apart from the diving, I spent the rest of my time searching for good food and I was quiet surprise to find some good
stuff. I have started cooking some healthy food and it makes me feel at home!
Some others freedivers already arrived fews days ago: Herbert Nitsch (the one who broke my last record), Johan Dahlstrom
from Sweden, Robert King (USA), Ryuzo Shinomya (the deepest Japanese and my roomate for the next week), Alexey Molchanov (Russia, World Record holder in dynamic) Kerian Hibbs and Kathryn Mac Phee
(New Zeland), Jana Strain (Canada)...
The conditions are not so good as the hurricane season doesn't seem to be over, a lot of wind, and a bad visibilty.
Fortunatly the weathercast is very optimist for the next days...
Stay tuned!

On the 13th of october, I was part of a film shoot directed by Otar Iosseliani, a georgian film maker living in France (He got some prizes in the past at the Cannes film festival, Berlin Film
Festival and Venice film Festival)
Of course, I am not an actor yet, but I did an underwater stunt, with Julie (she was the main character playing a black
mermaid) and Fouad (Vice President of the CIPA).
I can't tell you more details of the shooting, you will have to wait the official release of the movie (maybe Cannes
2010!!)
The only think I can assure you: it was terribly hard to swimm underwater with all this clothes in the cold water with
almost empty lungs! After that day, I had to sleep 11 hours in a row to recover!

The Changing Oceans Expedition is a ten-year adventure through the world's most important marine eco-regions to bring the
world the latest update information on the state of our oceans. The expedition will develop new ways of exploring and studying the oceans and fully share these discoveries, day by day, moment by
moment, through the new, interactive media of the net generation.
The Changing Oceans Expedition is about bringing people and the sea closer together through a journey of discovery. It is
about engaging everyone, whether eco-volunteer, scientist or crew aboard or online - to join in or follow the expedition from a computer screen in any part of the world.
I am very proud to be one of the ambassador of this adventure. I wish to get personally involved with Antinea, in order to sensitize as many people as possible to the beauty of the sea, an element
that fills my dreams.

This summer,
the CIPA organised a lot of training session. Among them, we did an entire week session (last week of august), with deep freediving everyday.
The spirit of the CIPA is to share our passion with water all together in the same boat, from the beginner to the world champion. This
training session was the perfect exemple of this spirit:
Beginners like Peter, David or Jeff have discovered the magic underwater world with the World Champions French Team (Morgan, Christian,
Cyril and me) and silver medalist in the last indoor individual World Championship Fred Sessa. Other members of the club like Fouad, Patrice, Isa or Doudou enjoyed also the perfect conditions of
the Villefranche Bay.
Special thanks to Eric who decided to organise that session, and congratulation to him for his new instructor diploma in Freediving
!

From the 20th to the 25th of July, the CIPA (our club in Nice) host 11 children from the CDMM (Center Discovery of the
Underwater World) to dive and discover the amazing underwater life of the Mediterranean Sea. Every day, we went in different places in the Villefranche sur Mer Bay.
It's very important to increase future generations awareness
of the protection of our seas and oceans. After one week, all the children were relaxed enough in the water to appreciate the beauty of the nature!
CIPA was used to organise all summer long this kind of courses, but it was the first time since 2007 we did it again. I think we might organise again this experiences!

Sunday 5th of June:
Yesterday was the last day of the competition. I wanted an easy dive with no pressure in Free Immersion.
I dove at 80m in 3'11". It was of course very cool and very relaxed. I didn't want to push for the last dive in a discipline I haven't train for 6 years. But of course, with a 75m in no fins, 80m
in free immersion was not a big risk!
For the second time, I win the Mediterranean Freediving competition in Sougia.
I really would love to thank some people and partners:
Ball Watch, my main sponsor, who help me for 3 years. Thanks to their support and
because they have never put pressure on me, I have tried no fins this year to enjoy new feelings, with no record expectation, and I had a great time.
CIPA team, with whom I have been training this year
- Gael Ovois, my physical trainer, who helped me to gain some upper body strenght.
- Xavier, who gave me very good advice for technique.
- Fred Lemaitre, THE specialist in freediving physilogy who gave me some ideas and advices for training
