Nicozen

… I sensed this feeling first-time years ago and ever since that day I never stopped. From a hobby, it has turned out into a lovely profession, attaining the Apnea Academy instructor rating in 2003, and later progressing my career achieving the qualification of Master Instructor Freediver PADI. My three great masters were Umberto Pellizzari, Davide Carrera and . . . The Sea. I have explored different oceans: I lived in the Maldives, the Seychelles, Egypt, Tanzania and on many small Italian islands, beholding unique experiences such as dancing with dolphins, swimming alongside sharks, and flying with eagle rays. Every time I dive, it’s like the first time. Its strong attraction, its immense colour and its scent make me feel good in my soul. And when I return home, I feel happier knowing that tomorrow I can swim again to feel free … to feel Freediver. Nicolò Ciocia
