Freedive Jamboree – Gili Air 2016
feat. William Trubridge | 1 – 4 September
The JAMBOREE was a great success. Please see the video and read the blog below! We will be back with another issue soon – please sign up to our newsletter on the right hand side to stay posted.
The FREEDIVE JAMBOREE – GILI AIR 2016 is a unique opportunity to meet and train with a true champion. William Trubridge will be leading the FREEDIVE FLOW Instructors Team with the goal to make every session and workshop a unique experience for all participating freedivers.
To participate in the in-water events, a beginner level freediving certification (AIDA2, PADI AFD, or equivalent) is needed. Prior to the JAMBOREE, it is possible to sign-up for a course to attain a certification in only three days.
18 Time World Record Holder
In 2010 William Trubridge became the first human to descend to 100m (330 feet) without fins during Project Hector, an event aimed at bringing awareness to the plight of New Zealand’s critically endangered Hector’s and Maui’s Dolphins species.
In July 2016 he furthered this record to 102m (334 feet) in a dive broadcast live to New Zealand television. William also holds the world record in Free Immersion, with 124m (406 feet), set at Vertical Blue in May 2016.

Jamboree DAY 4: About Blacklists and Double-Daisies
All good things come to an end. Today was the last day of working on perfect freediving with William Trubridge and Freedive Flow on Gili Air. Now, it will be up to the freedivers to implement everything they’ve learnt during the Jamboree to push themselves to the next level.
Jamboree DAY 3 ..blew the other two right out of the water!
William Trubridge is a clever guy. While his intense sessions with Freedive Flow on Gili Air he likes keeping the training plan a secret until just before the participants get in the water. Maybe this way, no one has time to worry about trying something they’ve never done before. No warm-up dives and deep training tables […]
Jamboree DAY 2: Morning Bliss and Pool-Workout
If you have to wake up for 6:30 AM yoga there are worse places to do so. Mandala Blue’s yoga shala offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, and the sun rising from behind Lombok’s volcano, Mount Rinjani.
