Invitation to the Filming of Ray's Dive

The Madelyn Anderson Russo Institute for Marine Exploration

invites you to attend a thrilling freediving exhibition by world class apnea diver and former CNF Champion, 

Ray Russo.

Mr. Russo will be doing this daring dive to 330 feet—with no tanks or fins—his only gear a face mask and nose-plug.

The bold feat and all spectators will appear in MARI’s annual documentary. The theme for this year’s documentary, Save Our Seas, is protection of the world’s fragile oceans and its endangered inhabitants.

Please, show the world you care by joining us at this special invitation-only event.
