Meet Deep Med's Apnea Junkies

A team of two sharing a common goal; to help you feel comfortable and relaxed in the water, building skills at your pace.

Fabrice - The Cave Junkie

Deep Med’s owner, Fabrice, is enthusiastic about the sea both off and on land. Born in Malta & exposed to the sea from day one, his earliest and happiest memories are his playful adventures in the water. Throughout his teenage years he took up sailing and started a career in the Maritime industry as a navigation Officer.

As time progressed, a deeper connection with the sea developed through the art of breath-hold. A connection he wishes to pass onto you through his methods of teaching.

Fabrice enjoys depth diving as well as the recreational side; exploring coastlines, freediving wrecks, cave diving and swim-throughs! Fabrice will do his best to immerse you into his world through Deep Med’s experience.

During the winter months, he recharges by getting back into fitness, cold water swimming, deep-dive training whilst also broadening his equalization knowledge and teaching skill-set.

Weapons of choice – The EQ bubbler, Repetition & a dose of thrilling underwater adventure.
Deepest depth – 60 metres
Deepest diver Fabrice has coached – 76 metres.

Benji

Benji loves being in the water. He’s been freediving since before he even knew it was a thing, from challenging his friends in underwater competitions to foraging sea urchins along the Comino coastline. It was no surprise that upon discovering Freediving in 2020, he would feel an immense calling to it. He knew this was it, but he had an inner mission to complete first!

Benji went on a 2-year solo journey throughout Europe, Latin America and Australia, exploring various lifestyles which brought him closer to nature. He worked on organic farms, volunteered at a surf camp, lived in the Australian rainforest; he even worked as a Volcano hiking guide in Central America. During this ever-changing lifestyle, he found stillness through yoga and meditation and enjoyed sharing this with fellow travellers.

Upon returning home, Freediving quickly found Benji again. For Benji, freediving isn’t about depth, it’s about relaxing into the present and connecting with the beautiful sea these islands have to offer.

Weapons of choice: Webbed toes, Buddhist wisdom and coming into his inner seal
