100 Women: 'You are truly free while freediving'

Yet, according to Egypt's record-breaking freediver Raghda Ezzeldin, as soon as you go underwater, "you forget about everything".

Raghda and Aliaa Hassan, who in 2014 became the first Arab woman to compete and break records, explain why free diving is their passion.
