Hi, I'm Annabel. I live in Kona, Hawaii with my husband, Matt.

My daughter is Jessica Wilson in California. Jessica, Sharanne and I were on the original US Women's team in France 2000. We were not sanctioned by AIDA USA.

Before freediving, I played underwater hockey in the San Francisco Bay area, after I moved here, the hockey players dared me to get into competitive freediving. I've been on the women's team in Spain, 2001, (silver medal) and then Pacific Cup, 2002 (GOLD MEDAL!), and Cyprus, 2003, first in static, third in dynamic, and nothing in the overall. I trained with Brett La Master, Kirk Krack, Pipin & Audrey Ferreras, and Matt Briseno.

For work, I'm a family therapist with families where child abuse has been identified, but don't feel sorry for me, I get to bring kids to the beach and my motto is, "Play hard, go to work to rest!"
