Adventure Junkie: Jordan Costa |
As a freediver, you try to use the least amount of modern technology as possible. Why? Of course, modern technology has provided a much easier and more efficient means of catching fish, but this has resulted in over fishing and pollution, which eventually effects us all. Besides, when you free dive for your food, then bragging rights is all yours. | |
Longshot here, I know, but just wondering... Can you share any of your secret Maui spots with us?

So as far as suggestions on where to go, I'm gonna keep it general and just say that if you wanna see a variety of marine life, stick to the northern shores.
Fair enough. Last of all, do you have any advice for new learners?
- KNOW THE OCEAN AND ITS CURRENTS! The ocean is extremely dangerous to people who don't know the currents and who underestimate the power of the ocean.
- NEVER dive alone.
- And ALWAYS respect the marine life, you have no idea how fast things can change the moment just one person decides to do otherwise in the underwater marine world.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering what's the difference between 'freediving' and 'spearfishing'... freediving is pretty much the same flipping thing as spearfishing, the only difference is that you go in the water without a spear or spear gun.
Check out Jordan's freediving footage below:
This is the first in a series of adventure travel videos shot by Jordan Costa. If you are interested in seeing his other upcoming videos of him and his friends dog sledding, snowboarding and riding, please be sure to SUBSCRIBE! And now we'd like to ask you: Have you ever been freediving? What did you think of your experience? | |
Hey Jordan!
I realized I was holding my breath half way through that video...oops. Breathe!. okay better...Awesome footage though!. I look forward to FULLY exploring the ocean without fear and pollution in the future...
One more activity to add on to my Paradise List.
Pretty cool video. Not as deep as the The Deep Blue, but still, I admire those who can hold their breath underwater for a long time. Sometimes when I go snorkeling, I have friends that go down close to the reef to get a better view. I totally can't sustain that long. Just when I go down, I"m coming back up again.
Yeah, it takes training. If you did it regularly, like every day, you could train your lungs into holding more air for longer. But even for myself, I haven't done something like this for so long, I probably would go down and come straight back up after not too long.
Jordan is a true adventurer. One night he's up in the mountains hunting with dogs, the next night he's in a cave near the ocean having beers, grilling steak and fishing off the seacliffs. I loved the respect about ocean part, too, it's so true and something that needs to be put across. I knew he wouldn't let out any of his secret spots to 'strangers', but I love to tease the readers!
Great video and great interview! I've never been spearfishing or free diving. Jave's uncle in Jamaica often goes spear fishing at night. Yikes!
Nice article. Last time I went snorkeling, I saw someone freediving and was very intrigued by it. Now, I want to try it!
Funeral services for Jordan will be Saturday, August 9, 2014 at Ballard's family Mortuary at 9:30am.
