Episode 102 - Raymond Ko Freedive Nomad on freediving, relaxation and pushing boundaries

In this episode of the Joint Dynamics Intelligent Movement series podcast Andrew chats with Freedive Nomad, Raymond Ko.


Ray shares his story transitioning from City life to the ocean’s depths - now living, training & teaching on a remote Taiwanese Island. After 20 years of experience in cash sales trading Asian stock markets while based in Hong Kong and Taipei Ray experienced mental, emotional, & financial difficulties.  This led to him training in Freediving and becoming certified as a freedive instructor under Alexey Molchanov’s certifying agency  Alexey Molchanov & Freediving (@alexeymolchanov) - Instagram (see episode 101 of this podcast) & pivoted to a career in freediving.

Currently based on the small island of Xiaoliuqiu (pronounced “shallow chill”) off the Southwest Coast of Taiwan. Famous for its abundant sea turtles, the community here has been built on the wealth of the tuna industry, with the fishermen here commanding 14% of the global tuna market share at one time. Xiaoliuqiu is an ideal place to learn freediving as it has sufficient depth just a short swim away from shore and nearly guaranteed an encounter with the famed sea turtles every time you go out in the ocean.

Raymond's mission is to introduce freediving to professionals looking for an escape from the office. Being in the ocean and freediving has brought an incredible calmness to Ray’s life and also to most of the people he now knows who freedive. It is the gift he wants to share with as many people as he can and is the basis of this fun & informative conversation with Joint Dynamics podcast curator & host Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics
