Billiau is a diver mine at the Navy and DOVO. The trip has a special meaning for him. “The sea is my field of work, but today also a place of memory and tribute to my parents,” he says.

The swimming trip started early this morning on the French-Belgian border. He is guided all day by a team in a RHIB boat. If everything goes according to plan, he arrives in Knokke-Heist around midnight.
