  • Hello Nox, je te suis depuis très longtemps mais je n’ai jamais commenté. Je fais de l’apnée depuis 6 ans. Et je serai intéressé de connaître ton entraînement à côté de tes sorties apnées (course à pied,...) et pourquoi pas ton mode de vie (nutrition, sommeil,...). Parce que je sais que ce que tu fais est réservé à une élite et demande bcp de concessions et c’est ultra inspirant. Super vidéo ! Co

  • magnifique images comme d'habitude j'ai adoré la vidéo :) Petite suggestion: peut-être intégrer une petite présentation de l'épave dans la description?
