Davide Carrera Freediving

"The only depth that really matters is the interior... and respect for the earth that nourishes us and the water that gives us welcome, our peace purifies us."

Davide is an Italian freediver who has made Spain his home. He has broken many national and world records by holding his breath while diving to extraordinary depths.

He has also starred in several documentaries about the sport. His success has not only brought him many titles, but also the respect and admiration of other athletes. His love of nature, sports and healthy living motivates him to keep improving – always just one step away from setting another new world record.

His goal for the upcoming season is to reclaim his title as world champion, but it's not only titles he is looking for: inspiring new generations to live respectfully and in harmony with our planet, is his main motivation.

Lifestyle

“Make love with the Earth. Not only with the Ocean.”

Nature and Davide go hand in hand. Thanks to his concern for both our planet's health and his own, he lives a sustainable and ecological life.

He lives in the countryside, grows his own food, keeps chickens, and minimizes his impact on the earth. His way of life is a result of his unwavering faith in the power of nature and his desire to leave behind a better world than the one he found.

He has been deeply interested in the quest for spirituality since he was a teenager, studying yoga and meditation – activities that are now a part of him.

He is active and sporty. He trains in the water, goes to the gym, runs up mountains, or snowboards and goes surfing with his son.
