About Claire
I've been freediving since 2021, but my love for the ocean started long before that—I was a scuba diver for over 15 years.
Freediving began as a way to improve my breath-hold for spearfishing, but along the way, I discovered a deep passion for depth diving. There’s something incredible about the silence of the water and the way it clears my mind, creating a sense of mindfulness like nothing else.
I trained with AFC (Auckland Freediving Club) and ran training sessions and inductions for freediving and depth diving at the Warkworth club.
Originally from France, I left in 2005, and New Zealand has been home since 2013. Mangawhai has been my spearfishing playground for years, and I’m excited to share my passion for freediving with the community—helping others train and explore the ocean in a safe and relaxed environment.
Our Vision
At Infinite Freedive, we believe freediving is more than just a sport—it’s a way to connect deeply with the ocean, challenge yourself, and embrace a sense of peace beneath the surface.
Our goal is to create a supportive and safe environment where anyone can explore the beauty of freediving, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills. We are also committed to building a strong, connected community of like-minded individuals who share a love for the ocean and personal growth through freediving.
