Freediving article on The Sunday Times

A Journalist Jeremy wrote about his freediving course with me.  It was not a best condition to teach that day, super strong current and bumpy water, line was pulling up and down.  But last day of session was better condition than first day.  Best time in Anantara dhigu would be Feb to May.

3weeks ago we were swimming with 9 mantas at same time! Then next day our all instructors went same spot again.  We found only one manta. He was swimming up side down to showing off his berry for long time, :) so I went closer look.  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_wchHZzTubs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And this is from Mickey Yu, with GoPro.  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AUHyuBk6AvQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
