Planet Ocean
Humans have an ancient relationship with water. When we free-dive, and hold our breath to journey deep into the ocean, our mammalian dive response kicks in. This is the same biological set of automatic reactions that allow whales, dolphins and seals to travel for kilometres underwater before needing to breach. As freedivers, Zandile Ndhlovu and Hanli Prinsloo have discovered a whole world just below the surface, with its own orchestra of sounds and rhythm of being. They both deeply believe that water can heal and freediving can transform people’s lives. Zandile is the founder of the Black Mermaid Foundation. And Hanli is the founder of the I Am Water Foundation. Both projects aim to get a diverse group of young people from underserved, low-income communities involved in the ocean – swimming, diving and connecting.
