Hi Guys!
I am the Deepest Bear and welcome to my home page. As those of you who have met me know, I am a keen freediver specialising in No Limits and Static Apnea for the last few years. My personal bests are 122m in No Limits (achieved with the help of Tanya Streeter - see the pics on the Summer Tour page), 101 m in "tech diver pocket hiding" (see the link below to my Red Sea page), a special record of 3 hours Static Apnea (judged by Kirk Krack and Martin Stepanek) and I have also done 103m variable weight when I needed to escape from my scuba dive captors.
After three years working hard as a promoter, supporter, shoulder to cry on, good luck charm and honey munching buddy to freedivers all over the world - the time has come to take retirement. Over the years, I have seen many places and dived with many buddies. Locations I have visited include Nice, Dolphin, Hawaii, Spetses, Vancouver, Cyprus, the ice in Austria, Chepstow, Thailand, Cornwall, Florida, Hurghada, London, Sharm, Dorothea, California, Blackpool and of course, Dahab. I have dived with all the greats - starting with Loic and the boys at CIPA and staying deep, long and stylish throughout. Many of you can find your photo with me somewhere on this site.
But a bear gets tired of the fame and the fortune. The paparazzi and endless attention became too much after a while.... so I decided to retire.
Whilst I might come out occasionally, I'm taking it pretty easy these days. You might find me if you keep a sharp eye out - maybe in Dahab, maybe at Saltfree or even sometimes with a friend in California... but I've left my photos up so you can relive my glorious past.
Love, hugs and honey...
