The Freediving Experience
Learn how to find calm under extraordinary pressure
Innovators brave the unknown. They tolerate discomfort, but stay keenly aware of real danger and expertly manage risk. They keep calm under tremendous pressure, and work to sharpen their innate talents. This is true of innovators... and freedivers.
Freediving and innovation have some incredible parallels. Both have their basis in natural, innate capabilities that can be harnessed, refined, and mastered. Creativity enables innovation while the mammalian diving reflex enables freediving. In freediving and innovation risk must be accounted and managed with precision. For innovators and freedivers, the craft becomes a way of life.
Innovation Bound hosts an array of freediving courses and expeditions...

Underwater Leadership Development
Finding The Wild Within is an epic adventure into the wilderness of the ocean environment, and an equally awesome voyage inward to develop oneself. This course was created by our cofounder Costa Michailidis, along with wildlife physiology professor Amanda Wilson Carter, expedition photographer Andrew James Ferris, and freediving world champion Martin Stepanek to show business leaders the wild within
each of them and how to use it to lead their organizations through the toughest challenges.
