Freediving family vacation on the Island Hvar in Croatia

Just because you are not doing what most people are doing, doesn't mean that you are the crazy one. We went on holiday to Croatia, Hvar in a well synchronised family of four - mother, father, sis and bro. My brother and I are 25 and 26 respectively, but our parents are so cool and in such good shape that spending holiday with them is a real adventure. Yes, we have some strong personalities in the family, and of course we argue... but that's not the point here. The point is we had an amazing time despite not visiting a single restaurant, not having WiFi or internet in the apartment we stayed in, not getting drunk once, doing the dishes manually and avoiding parties and loud places like they were the plague. We only went to a 'bigger city' two times - to shop for groceries. We ate local foods and prepared them ourselves - down to gutting the fish. We sleep a lot, eat quite healthy, and move a lot - that is how we relax. We spent most of our active time in the sea. Couldn't get enough of it. My brother and I brushed off our amateurish freediving skills. We are not bad, considering we come from a state that has no sea... but on this vacation, I saw so much unreached potential. The human body is amazing in how it can adapt to almost anything and learn almost anything. And the feeling you get when you swim underwater like a fish... it's indescribable. The mind is calm and the body is flowing on its own like it's remembering the days when life was only in the ocean. My heart is full and satisfied, I feel like this was one of the best decisions I made this year. I completely forgot about my regular life and became a child again. So, my advice to adult kids would be: spend some quality time with your parents, it might be more healing and fulfilling than you expect. And my advice to parents: stay relevant and adaptable and don't be afraid to go a bit crazy on adventures.
Lastly a word of caution: Not all the stuff shown in this video should be done mindlessly. Diving can be dangerous, with or without equipment and one should always know about the risks and train in a pool under supervision before diving in the sea.
