One of my favorite things about shooting with Deep End Fitness is how much the training of the body and the breath enables the shoot to happen. This might normally be understood from the perspective of the body being in shape to physically execute the shoot or to be of calm mind to be focused and give clear direction. But the element of the water creates such an opportunity to meet the standard needed to physically promote the client. Need to add in an underwater viral movement to add to the creativity? No problem. There are no limitations shooting with us. The training enables promoting.

Deep End Fitness is an international company, founded by Don Tran and Prime Hall, who were both special Ops Marine Raiders and served together in Afghanistan. They met each other while preparing for Special Operations Assessment Selection in Camp Pendleton. Their primary message to people is:
“They want you to reach your full potential in and out of the water.”
While rooted in water safety and survival techniques, they offer hybrid water workouts that provide physical and mental benefits, including increasing CO2 tolerance, conditioning one’s stress response, providing aerobic training in a low impact environment, lowering stress and anxiety, and building resilience and mental focus.

Paul started working out with them in La Jolla, California and fell in love with them. Deep End is when he started filming and photographing underwater, and now it’s part of what Groundwork Promotions offers for clients. Paul is becoming a master of holding and controlling his breath and filming underwater. Maybe the ocean is next.
