Meet Elisa

Free Diving & Scuba Diving

I have worked in the ocean as a naturalist and professional scuba diver for 20 years. More recently I have trained with some exceptional human beings and become fascinated with freediving—diving to depth on one breath. I chose to train with Martin Stepanek: world-record holder 13 times over, and I now represent ‘Freediving Instructors International’ as a Level 1 Instructor. Worldwide there are about 100 instructors teaching freediving for this elite freediving organization. I can safely train people to hold their breath for up to 3 minutes and dive to a maximum depth of 66’/20m in just over a day of training.

  • “In short, I have found Elisa to be a delightful person, as well as an exceptionally talented and committed artist and producer. That we cannot keep her, is our loss, because I am certain that she will be talented, committed, and productive wherever in the world she is”.

  • “As a result of my experience with Elisa, I invited her to participate in my own project. Elisa was the only participant in my project whom I actively recruited. Once again, I found her to be an invaluable part of the production. She not only did what had been envisioned as her wide ranging role (being a leader, model, cook, and yoga instructor on the set) she also devised equipment modifications and made other physical contributions that were beyond the call of her participation. It is for that reason that I refer to her as “Lady McGyver” on the sets we have shared”.
