The most successful Frenchman in the history of freediving
Biography:
Arthur discovers freediving during his childhood. Already very close at the time to the aquatic element, in Nice, his hometown, or in Corsica where he lived as a child.
He began his freediving career in 2011 at the age of 26. Since then, he has accumulated 5 world championship titles, and 8 world records.
In 2016, he was the first to reach the symbolic mark of 300m in dynamic apnea. Universal world record in the discipline.
In 2017, he sets his first freediving world record under ice, with his wetsuit and his monofin, at 175m.
Since March 2021, Arthur has been at the heart of an epic project to attempt a double world record in freediving under ice. On breaststroke this time. In March 2021, he therefore set a new world record with his wetsuit, at 120m. Then, on March 8 2022, in Morrison's quarry in Quebec, he swam 105m, still breaststroke, but this time without a wetsuit, wearing a simple swimsuit.
Universal world record of the discipline. The performance is relayed in the French and international media thanks to AFP (Agence France Presse, second world's biggest press agency with Reuters).
He is the most successful Frenchman in the history of freediving.
Today, on the strength of his experience and his stature, Arthur turns to sharing and seeks to raise public awareness of the beauty and values of his discipline, in demanding, sensitive audio-visual productions, where the human adventure goes hand in hand with sporting achievement.
Since 2017, he has been working as a speaker, on topics such as self transcendence, stress management, risk-taking, self-confidence...
At the same time, he offers practical workshops for relaxation through breathing exercices, accessible to all and directly derived from his own training methods, allowing him to surpass himself in the exercise of his discipline and in his daily life.
In 2017, his first book Le Bien-Être Sous l'Eau was released, followed in 2018 by a first feature film: Aquae Rex.
A 52' documentary currently in production at Almo Film, looking back at the last two underice freediving world records. Release scheduled for October 2023.
