After the outbreak of the epidemic, people's travel was restricted. The epidemic in Taiwan did not really affect life until 2021. During this period of time when they could not go abroad, there was a wave of free diving in Taiwan. Taiwan is very suitable for diving, thus promoting free diving. In the past two years, I have watched the changes in different aspects of free diving in Taiwan and recorded how free divers in Taiwan enjoy the sea.

I'm an underwater photographer in Taiwan. I use free diving to record the connection between people and nature.
