Free Dive

We began free diving in the Marquesas in April 2016. We started with some short fins and borrowed masks. As we sailed west through the south pacific we spent more time underwater than above. These pictures are from the Marquesas, the Tuamotus, the Society Islands, Niue, Tonga, Fiji and New Zealand. We’re still amateur divers, but in our time under water we have swam with whales, hammer head sharks, manta rays, innumerable fish and fishes, and have dove as deep as 100 feet on one breath. This is a small selection of the images we captured of divers in action.

We are two regular superheroes: tight spandex, obvious muscles, 'special' abilities. We like holding our breath, eating the delicious food, up hill walking, touching rock, beer-coffee-spinach smoothies, and words. Together we are dellandtucker, apart we are just lonely.
