I worked with Base Magazine to put a collection of my images, and thoughts on paper around cave diving. It’s a deeper look into fear, training, and the value of pushing through it all to have amazing experiences.
“Fear comes from not understanding. It’s a phrase that I repeat to myself when I am presented with something that scares me.
If you’re afraid of swimming with sharks, it’s probably because you don’t understand them. If you’re afraid of hiking alone through the wilderness, it’s probably because you don’t understand that environment. In adventure sports, it often means you simply haven’t developed the skills and awareness necessary to visualise the path to a positive outcome.
Most people’s perception of cave diving would put it at the very top of the list of dangerous sports. I was first asked to learn to cave dive for an upcoming film project and I shut the idea down outright.”
