FREEDIVING | :: Interview :: ERIN MAGEE | by: Carolina Schrappe
It was with great joy that I got the news about this new and innovative electronic magazine. More so as it came with the invitation to write about my passion, free diving. And even more with DIVEMAG´s commitment to be my sponsor in trainings, competitions and courses of this amazing sport. To do something new, in line with the magazine´s flair, I´ll be bringing you, readers, updated information on techniques, places and people who practice diving bin its purest and most challenging form. We´ll mix our chat here at Divemag with techniques, equipment and interviews which will show you new faces and results in free diving. To begin with, an interview with Erin Magee, highlighted as a revelation for the Americas in 2011 as she became the deepest female diver of the region in the most classic category of free diving, the one everyone practices, going down and back with the thrust of your legs helped by fins. Erin is the current American record holder in the category with the mark of 80 meters. She is a PADI and PFI (Performance Freediving International) instructor, one of the most respected schools worldwide. I had the great pleasure of meeting her two years ago and also of being able to train with her, following her rapid evolution.
