Our Story

The dreamers behind Freediving Brain

Met in the blue.
Bound by love. Driven by play.

It started in Dahab, where the desert meets the Red Sea. We fell for the water — and for each other — and dreamed of bringing a tribe back to the sea.

The vibe: Inner calm & psychological mastery

A lifelong waterboy who swapped Cairo's corporate grind for Dahab in 2021. Now an AIDA Instructor Trainer studying sport psychology, he turns tension into calm, effortless flow.

The vibe: High-energy spark & architect of the journey

An Iraqi architect turned UX lead who came to Dahab to try one breath — and stayed. The first Iraqi female freediver, she's the logistics brain and the loud, playful heartbeat of every trip.

From Dahab to the world: our shared map

As partners in life and in the water, we've swum with whales, mantas and wild dolphins across the world's oceans — and learned that freediving is really about playful presence. Now Barcelona-based, we built Freediving Brain for the dreamers and the stressed-out: leave the grind on the shore, and remember how to be here now.
