William, right, going through the basic safety information prior to the pool training session at a freediving workshop
William’s background as an educator goes back several decades.
At the age of 16, then a nationally-ranked athlete in his own right he began to teach and coach others in the pool sharing his knowledge of competitive swimming.
After years of studying the Chinese internal martial arts of Tai Chi and Bagua Zhang he was given the Ok to teach Tai Chi and chi gong by his then master Xu Gong Wei. Teaching these art forms led to teaching people how to breathe properly and he spent many years teaching people how to do so as well as how to improve concentration and health.
He now teaches individual and group courses in freediving, breathing, tai chi, chi gong along with shark behaviour, marine awareness and conservation.
