Mauro Barbisan

An orthopedic physiotherapist has found the connection between his work and his passion for diving in breathing and also works as a respiratory physiotherapist with patients with cystic fibrosis. The attraction to the sea came early when, as a child, he saw a group of divers arriving on the beach from an inflatable boat, imagining them to be astronauts from the space. He has been scuba diving for over 20 years, but for several years he has been practicing freediving, fascinated by the reflective and introspective stimuli it conveys, training continuously throughout the year. A sailing enthusiast, he lives and works in Treviso but is often here with us to work as a freediving and scuba instructor.
