Freediving

Home / Freediving

This section contains blog posts about freediving. Freediving tips, tricks, techniques, destinations, and gear. Freediving fins, masks, snorkels and more are all discussed in these posts!

The sport is much more than simply holding your breath for as a long as you can. Consider the breathing techniques, CO2 tolerance, anaerobic conditioning.

Fun fact: the sensation to breathe is actually from a build up of carbon dioxide in the blood. Freedivers suppress this reflex through training called CO2 tolerance.

Once immersed in the ocean, freedivers feel a sense of awe and wonder. Its hard to replicate anywhere else in the world. The stillness is indescribable.
