FREEDIVING WORLD CHAMPION, Petar Klovar

Petar Klovar (@petar_klovar) is a multiple time freediving world champion who currently holds absolute world records in two of the four competitive freediving disciplines—the two which do not involve any 'finwear.'

He's freediving’s bad boy. He's constantly under attack. No matter what Petar does, people have an opinion. Some watch in awe, some prey on his downfall...while others actively plot it.

He’s just too good to be true! If it isn't possible for me, it isn't possible for you!

I sat with Petar for two hours to hear his side of the story.

Have a listen.
