JEDDAH: Three friends with a passion for freediving have taken a leap of faith in launching the Kingdom's first freediving school earlier this month.

The Jeddah Freediving School (JFS) co-founding trio of Osama Jouhari, Ishaq Farsi and Mariam Shalan grew up living by the sea and have practiced freediving for more than 10 years, breaking local, GCC, and continental records.

"Our main goal is to unify our ideas as a team and as freediving instructors,“ the team told Arab News.
