What initially drew you to spearfishing/freediving?
I grew up on a beach house in Tahiti, I was in the water snorkeling and fishing since I can’t remember. My great-grandpa and my older cousins were spearfishermen and they would take me with them at an early age.
Can you share a memorable experience or defining moment in your journey?
My best memorable moment spearfishing was landing my first dogtooth tuna in Tahiti when I was 15.
How do you stay motivated and inspired in your pursuits?
Spearfishing is part of my life and my culture. And being able to feed my family and friends in the most sustainable way. Also it’s an addiction for me to be one with the ocean this is what makes me want go back again and again.
Are there mentors who've impacted your journey significantly?
Definitely my big cousins and my great grandpa taking me as a little kid are the reason why I do it.
