284: The Big BOAT Interview: What happened when seven-month-pregnant freediver Hanli Prinsloo met a pod of bottlenose dolphins

What does it feel like to be 65-metres below sea level, holding a single breath in complete stillness? In this Big BOAT Interview, 11-time freediving record holder Hanli Prinsloo shares the extraordinary experiences that have shaped her life above and below the sea, reflecting on the transformative power of the ocean and the power of breath can play in boosting our health and wellbeing. She also recounts unforgettable encounters with bottlenose dolphins, including a remarkable moment while seven months pregnant, when the dolphins appeared to sense the life growing inside her.

Prinsloo will be special guest speaker at our annual event Ocean Talks, taking place in central London at The Magazine, Serpentine North Gallery, in Hyde Park on 11 June 2026.
