Road to Roatan Ep. 14 - One of the OGs of Latin American Freediving | Ricky's Story

Ricardo Montans - multiple Argentine national record holder, continental record holder, and one of the OGs of freediving in Latin America - arrived in Roatan after the pandemic with nothing. Today he runs one of the best freediving schools in the Caribbean. This is his story. In this interview: how he started freediving at age 6 watching his father spearfish, his background in martial arts, training alone in 2007 when the Latin American community was tiny, building connections across South America, his competitive career, and why he ended up building Caribbean Freedive School in Roatan from zero. Also why I chose Caribbean Freedive School over Roatan Freedivers - and how a decision based purely on convenience turned into finding a freediving family. Road to Roatan is a vlog series documenting my journey to the 2026 CMAS World Freediving Championship in Roatan, Honduras as part of Team USA Masters. 🤿 CARIBBEAN FREEDIVE SCHOOL Instagram →   / freediving_caribbean_school   Website → https://freedivingcaribbeanschool.com/ Google Maps → https://maps.app.goo.gl/yJMT7MDc8V9kF... 👤 RICKY'S PERSONAL IG   / freediving_argentina   👤 ROATAN DIVERS (scuba)   / roatandivers   --- 📺 WATCH THE FULL SERIES    • Road To Roatan - CMAS Freediving World Cha...   📺 WATCH WORLDS LIVE https://tv.cmas.org/sportitemset/6a5a... --- 🤿 TEAM USA SPONSORS Molchanovs → molchanovs.com Evolve Apnea → evolveapnea.com Surf Fur → surf-fur.com Use code TEAMUSA2026 at checkout on all three sites. --- 🙏 SUPPORT TEAM USA GoFundMe → https://www.gofundme.com/f/backing-us...
