A freediving yoga day was led by a world champion freediver.

David Mellor, a seven-time gold medallist, joined Esprit Freedivers and Yoga with Emma for a 'freediving yoga immersion' event in Seaview on the Isle of Wight.

Mr Mellor, who holds the record for the deepest dive in his category after reaching 100 metres at the age of 60, is known for his enthusiasm for the sport.

He gave attendees a special preview of his new film about his freediving journey.

The film also features his mother, who started running at 79 to train with Mr Mellor and his brothers. Now 85, she regularly beats her own Parkrun times.

The event combines Emma Spencer-Goodier’s yoga exercises, breathing techniques, and meditation with Esprit Freedivers’ underwater experience.

Participants explored breath holds and dynamic underwater freediving at Urban Saints pool, Puckpool, after a light lunch. The event was a sell-out, with more planned for 2025.
