Title: The Reason I Dive

"Competitive freedivers are often asked why they do what they do, to compete who can dive the deepest or the longest. Every freediver will have their own story to tell, but usually it is never about the idea of winning, or beating others. A successful dive is not determined by whether or not you surpassed others, it's determined by whether or not you were able to hit your announced depth and return back safe. Here is a shot of Erik Donathan of USA diving to a depth of 70 meters at the Caribbean Cup 2022 in Roatan, Honduras."
