Talk about coming back with a bang!

The last Asian Freediving Cup was in 2019. And in all previous editions of the AFC, there has never been one that spanned eight days.

It was certainly a competition in all senses — true sportsmanship on display with the athletes keeping us on our toes till the very last day. They fought, they outdid themselves, and they celebrated. Being in the heart of the action was simply incredible.

Operations were completely shut off, a team of 43, four boats, eight official pre-comp training days, countless eyes from over the world, and it felt like we were living in a bubble those two weeks.
