Exploring the Last Frontier (The Ocean) with 11 time Free Dive Record Holder Hanli Prinsloo

Author: Josh Linnes May 25, 2015 Duration: 59:22

Hanli Prinsloo is a Freediver and Ocean Conservationist. Freediving is the practice of diving below the surface of the ocean on a single breath. Professionals can go hundreds of feet down and there are depth competitions, but freedivers also get to see things surface dwellers never even dream of experiencing. Like looking into the eye of a 60ft sperm whale, swimming with sharks, or a finding a deeply meditative place calm place.

On this episode Josh and Hanli discuss how yoga and free diving have a lot in common, what it is like to swim with the giant animals of the sea, and why this sport could be the best hope for bringing awareness to the life in the oceans.

Hanli also takes us through a 200ft dive, what it feels like, and how you prepare to do it. Listen and hear a great example of someone following their life long dream.


There's a certain rhythm to life in the tropics that goes far beyond the postcard images. Viva Tropical is the sound of that rhythm, hosted by Josh Linnes, whose own story began with a surfboard and a one-way ticket to Costa Rica decades ago. This isn't a travel brochure; it's a deep dive into the realities, cultures, and unexpected lessons learned from fully embracing a life under the sun. Josh brings the perspective of someone who has built businesses, navigated real estate from Costa Rica to Panama, and even co-purchased an island, all while staying grounded in the authentic pulse of the region. Each episode feels like a conversation with a well-seasoned friend, one who is as at home in a dugout canoe as on a yacht. You'll hear explorations of local societies, alternative approaches to health and fitness shaped by the environment, and candid discussions about what it truly means to integrate into a new place. The Viva Tropical podcast is an ongoing chronicle of a lifestyle built by choice, full of practical wisdom and compelling stories for anyone who has ever felt the pull of warmer latitudes or simply wonders how a different landscape can reshape a life.
