Saeid Taghbostani

we call him: Saeid
age: 29
hometown: Teheran Iran
now living in: Zurich CH
canyoneer since: 2012
your background? Swimming as a basis and I started diving at nine years old. I became a national diver at age 14 and won the first medal for Iran in the history of diving in 2001 in synchronised diving. Afterwards I won eight medals in Asia. Skiing, rollerblading and motorcycle riding are other pastimes.
your favorite trick? Reverse sommersault - it’s like a show jump where you try to fight against running in the air. I do that often.
your favorite canyon? Warren Verboom is the first canyoner I’ve met, and I’ve just begun, so I don’t have a favourite yet. To be around the specialists and the other guys in the deap group makes it perfect.
why do you like canyoning? I find similarities between diving and canyoning - both need passion and of course courage, Since canyoning is made in nature, you need to be extremely courageous!
what’s your goal? I don’t know that yet. I’ve just recently started and am still learning, but always try to give my best!
