Diving to a near 60 meters (196 feet) below the surface, facing another 30 meters (98 feet) of swimming at that depth through the naturally-occurring passage and another 60 meters up to return to the surface. On the freediving competitive scene, among his many records and medals he holds two world records: 94 meters of depth (308 feet) which he achieved wearing a pair of fins; and 145 meters of depth (476 feet) using a weighted sled down and swimming on his own power back to the surface. An untiring ocean conservationist, he is one of a handful of men who dive freely with great white sharks, outside of a cage without the use of protective devices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Winram&#8217;s extensive experience as a high level international calibre athlete and the only one still competing who lends his athletic skills directly in aid of the world&#8217;s oceans positions him perfectly to address wide audiences (be it the general public, schools, corporate businesses or scientists) on a variety of topics among which are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<ul>\nocean conservation<br \/>\nshark behaviour<br \/>\nbreath-hold diving<br \/>\nstress and risk management<br \/>\novercoming fear<br \/>\nteam work<br \/>\nmotivation<br \/>\nbreathing and relaxation<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To date William Winram has been invited to speak by the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<ul>\n<p><strong>Corporate<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gstaadyachtclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gstaad Yacht Club<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lancy.ch\" target=\"_blank\">City of Lancy<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.grand-saconnex.ch\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\">City of Grand-Saconnex<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.carouge.ch\/soiree-grand-bleu\" target=\"_blank\">City of Carouge<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>International events<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.impac3.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">3rd International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC3)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=umgWcQ5uNu0&#038;feature=relmfu\" target=\"_blank\">TEDxWWF<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Environmental institutions<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wwf.panda.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) International<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/iucn.org\" target=\"_blank\">International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cwf-fcf.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewtrusts.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\">The Pew Charitable Trusts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Film festivals<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fifad.ch\" target=\"_blank\">Festival du Film des Diablerets (FIFAD)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ville-ge.ch\/mhng\/anima_2013_02_mois_film.php\" target=\"_blank\">Geneva Museum of Natural History<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.underwater-festival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Festival Mondial de l&#8217;Image Sous-marine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Film launches<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.montrealsciencecentre.com\/imax-telus\/imax-telus-theater.html\" target=\"_blank\">IMAX Montreal<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantscreencinema.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">GSCA<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imax.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">IMAX Sydney<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imaxmelbourne.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">IMAX Melbourne<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Educational institutions<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/biology.sfsu.edu\/people\/karen-crow-sanchez\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Karen Crow, San Francisco State University (SFSU)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aquariumofthebay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aquarium of the Bay<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.montereybayaquarium.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Monterey Bay Aquarium<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosey.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\">Le Roset Private School<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/sydney.edu.au\/science\/biology\/\" target=\"_blank\">University of Sydney, School of Biological sciences<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biminisharklab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bimini Research Station (Bimini Shark Lab)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William is a sought after public speaker, engaging audiences around the world with his unique and beguiling story telling. \u00a0With a lifetime spent exploring the world&#8217;s oceans on a single breath of air, he is uniquely positioned to share and to motivate others through these experiences.
