Calling Home with William Trubridge

From Sunday Morning, 9:37 am on 10 July 2022

World record holding Kiwi freediver William Trubridge spends much of each year working in the tropical island paradise that is the Bahamas.

The island's official website bombards you with images of a pristine ocean, white sandy beaches drenched in sunshine, and lots of watersports including snorkeling and diving.

It's the ideal location for William's business, a free-diving school and annual competition, both called Vertical Blue, based at Dean's Blue Hole in Long Island, Bahamas. He's this week's calling home guest.
