“Camotes is a great place to compete and I even set one of my World Records there. The conditions are great: deep water, warm temperatures, excellent visibility, and a very professional organization.
What impressed me the most wasn’t just the diving conditions, but the atmosphere. The team at Camotes Freediving has created an event where athletes feel welcomed, supported, and able to focus entirely on their performances.
It’s clear that a lot of passion and attention to detail goes into organizing these competitions. Safety standards are high, logistics run smoothly, and the environment encourages athletes to perform at their best.”

“I’ve been coming back to Camotes Freediving for four years because it is one of the places where I feel safest and completely at home, surrounded by an incredibly professional and experienced team.

Thibault has created something truly special: the safety standards have always been incredibly high, yet every year he still manages to improve every small detail and make the whole experience even better. That allowed me to set 3 World Records in Camotes Freediving,

Camotes is a beautiful and unique island, and thanks to the people, the energy and the trust I feel there, it has become a place where I always feel happy to return.”
