What does it take to dive more than 70 meters beneath the surface on a single breath?In this episode, we sit down with Salma Shaker, one of Saudi Arabia’s leading freedivers, whose journey has taken her from the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea to the world’s most prestigious freediving competitions. Salma shares the mindset required to push the limits of human performance, explaining why freediving is far more about mental strength than physical ability. She opens up about overcoming fear, dealing with grief, building discipline, and the life lessons she’s learned from spending countless hours beneath the surface. We also explore the remarkable underwater world of the Red Sea, the future of freediving in Saudi Arabia, shark misconceptions, marine conservation, and Salma’s work with Red Sea Global and Coralium to help protect one of the planet’s most extraordinary marine ecosystems. 0:00 Intro2:46 What a 70-Meter Dive Really Feels Like4:57 Growing Up on the Red Sea7:08 How Salma Discovered Freediving9:11 Friendship, Rivalry & Miriam’s Influence10:48 Why Freediving Became an Obsession12:25 The Journey from 20 to 70 Meters17:07 Training, Breathwork & Mental Preparation21:51 Managing Fear and Anxiety Underwater24:44 How the Ocean Changed Her Life27:35 Knowing Your Limits: Awareness & Self-Control32:42 The Incident That Changed Everything38:44 Grief, Family & Finding Perspective43:05 The Future of Freediving in Saudi Arabia47:27 What Makes the Red Sea So Special56:38 Red Sea Global, Coralium & Marine Conservation1:04:44 IWC Minutes1:07:21 Shark Encounters & Ocean Myths1:15:56 The Hardest Part: Going Down or Coming Back Up?1:22:55 Control, Patience, Courage & Knowing Your Limits1:24:37 Final Reflections

Mo catches up with old friend Tamara Mosly who took over her mother’s 38-year-old business: Fantasy Party. What began as a family venture has evolved into one of Saudi Arabia’s most recognisable local brands, bringing joy to generations of children through events, gifts, toys, costumes, and celebrations. Tamara reflects on her mother’s legacy of building and growing the business during a very different era in Saudi Arabia, in an industry that was once viewed rather unconventional.
