Freediver BJ Griffin dreams of more diversity in his discipline

After Lexie, this graphic designer Ch'ti who has become a mermaid... make way for BJ, an American cellist who regularly turns into a "dancer in apnea"!

After obtaining certifications in freediving and scuba diving, this artist indeed performs underwater ballets full of grace and poetry.

“The body is weightless, as if flying”

Corpulent, BJ totally assumes his body: “You don't see many people like me doing that, so it's very important to share because I think we can do anything.

All bodies can do anything!

“, he enthuses.

In fact, its undulations in apnea seem almost aerial: “You have this feeling, when you dive, of no longer feeling gravity.

It relieves the joints.

The body is weightless, as if flying.

Wishing to share this singular experience, BJ created an association called

(Diving for peace, in French) and aiming to "encourage people to get in the water to do good and breathe".

Witness its magnificent convolutions in this video from our partner Brut.
