Some four-year-olds are terrified of swimming in the ocean. Memo Arikok (@memomedfish) was not even close to being one of them. His dad, a spear fisherman, taught him free diving, or breath-hold diving, and the now 37-year-old never stopped challenging himself to go deeper. “All these years taught me one single thing — the ocean is always bigger than you,” Memo says. “Learning how to adapt to the pressure in a place where we are just visitors takes a little bit of time, but the key is to enjoy every single minute of it!” Photo of @memomedfish by @freedive_international
