The third deepest freediver in the world for the first time in Costa Rica, don’t miss the freediving course at Caño Island next April 2021 with Miguel Lozano.
“Only 12 people have walked on the Moon in all of human history, and only 6 have descended to -122m depth with a single breath” Miguel Lozano
Feel the experience of freedivng at Caño Island as you will see is an ancient way of life, dive in with us.
Myths, legends and stories of ancient historians forge the origin of this discipline, which dates back 10,000 years ago, with the need to obtain food from the seabed, from populations settled on the shores of seas and lakes. The first findings of freediving made by paleontologists were on the Baltic Sea coast, where a community called Kojkenmodinguer, “the shell eaters” lived, and where mollusk remains were found, a fact that presupposes knowledge of the techniques immersion to collect them.
Numerous ornamental objects of mother-of-pearl, found in Mesopotamian (4500 BC) and Egyptian (3200 BC) cultures, also reveal the use of these techniques. Apnea was also practiced on the shores of the Mediterranean, since many historians point to the use of a coloring substance intended for the dyeing in dark red of the robes of kings and emperors, which is extracted from the “purpurigenic” gland of gastropod molluscs very common in this sea.
A possible figure of freediving in Minoan mythology is that of Glauco, “The Green Sea”, a fisherman who became a sea god due to a magical herb that had the power to resurrect fish. An ancient legend also tells how the Macedonian king Alexander the Great descended to the bottom of the sea, sinking locked in a custom-made glass container. They say that Cleopatra paid two divers to play a joke on one of her suitors, Marco Antonio, which consisted of swimming underwater and placing a salty dried fish on the hook of his rod. According to the historian Titus Livius, during the reign of the Macedonian Perseus (212-166 BC), valuable treasures were recovered by his divers.
It is clear that we are born to hold our breath naturally, we are like whales, seals or other marine mammals, we simply must learn proper techniques and challenge ourselves every day.
Freediving is a sport that requires a lot of preparation and concentration.
Miguel Lozano is one of the few people who are able to descend to -120 meters deep, with just a breath of air and without fins. In his career as a professional freediver, it is worth mentioning the two times he has been runner-up in the world and 14 official records, in addition to being the third deepest man in the world.
A reference and a legend of freediving for its way of understanding the sea and the philosophy of this sport. In addition Miguel is an SSI & AIDA & APNEA ACADEMY & FEDAS Instructor Trainer and travels taking courses all over the world.
For the first time, he will visit Costa Rica in April 2021. Specifically, he will come to visit us at Drake Bay to teach the first freediving course on Caño Island.
