Zen Freediving

Michelle Ooi has always felt at home in the water. A former competitive swimmer, triathlete, and underwater rugby player, she discovered freediving in 2011 and hasn’t looked back. While she enjoys the challenge of training and competition, what she loves most is being in the ocean and sharing that experience with others. Teaching freediving gives her the chance to help people connect with the water in a deeper way. Outside of diving, she’s into surfing, skateboarding, and marine conservation. She also organises regular underwater clean-ups and trips focused on protecting the ocean. With Michelle, it’s not just about diving – it’s about creating a meaningful connection with the sea and everything in it.
