During a vacation sailing in the Mediterranean it occurred to him to mix water skiing with freediving, this prototype is what would later become Subwing. Although little known, it is a very simple sport that everyone can practice.

All we have to do is keep our breath as long as possible and enjoy the incredible scenery that we will find when sliding down the ocean floor. It is a sport that everyone can do and that does not need a previous physical preparation since we are the ones who set the pace, the movements and the dives. The creators of the Subwing recommend that the length of the rope is approximately 15 meters. It should be noted that the longer the rope, the deeper the dive will be. As well as that the speed of the boat is between 2 and 4 knots, although it is not very high speeds due to the density of the water this seems much more when we are below it.
