MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR : MEHDI ALLAM
.
I'm a freediving instructor and a professional watersports photographer based in Tenerife.​
My journey into apnea began during my time in the Fire Brigade, first focused on water rescue operations.
I explored the many aspects of this fascinating discipline, which not only tested my physical and mental
limits but also expanded the horizons of my photographic career to the beauty of our world's oceans.
.
Drawing from my freediving knowledge, my military background, and my experience as a surf photographer
I decided to specialized in training big waves surfers to enhance their breath-holding abilities to handle challenging underwater situations. I first created this course while living in Tahiti, collectively working with
local surfers, then I partnered with professional surf instructors, accomplished coastguards
and elite athletes to refine and develop an efficient "Surf Survival" program.
.
The last years of travels have taken me to explore some of the most diverse spots, from the icy water of the
Arctic to the lagoons of the Indian Ocean, from the caves of the Atlantic to the sunken forests of the Pacific.
