Free Diving – The World of Adventures is Waiting for You

Free diving is an adventurous sport in which, wearing only fins and a mask, you dive down as far as you can on only one breath of air. The benefits of free diving are you can "free" yourself from having to wear SCUBA gear and also you can legally spearfish in some difficult areas. Some free diving activities include spear fishing, free dive photography, snorkelling, and apnea competitions.

There is nothing new about free diving; it has probably existed as long as mankind. Originally of course it was done for survival, such as gathering food. In modern days this is not necessary anymore since we can buy what we need in the supermarket. But more and more people are re-embracing the idea of free diving, for completely different reasons than survival...For pleasure and fun! Just imagine the beautiful underwater scenarios you so easily can enjoy while free diving. The amazing colours of tropical fish and corals can be enjoyed without having to go deep.

The truth is that the colours are most amazing above 10m. In addition of this, you can experience a deep feeling of relaxation while free diving that can be hard to find in today's hectic life. Many free divers actually free dive mainly for this reason, to find this inner feeling of relaxation. The silence, the weightlessness and the slow movements all add to this intense feeling. If the beauty and relaxation is not enough motivation to free dive, maybe competition is. There are several different competitive disciplines in free diving. Some of course conducted in the open waters such as seas, lakes and quarries, but there are also pool disciplines. Dive or swim with or without fins, or just hold your breath and relax. You compete against other, but always mainly against yourself. Just as any other sport, the more you practice the better you get and the easier it becomes. Free diving is an exciting activity that everyone, regardless of age, can enjoy with the proper equipment and appropriate training. Simpler free diving activities may only require constant practice and safe adherence to dive limits while competitive free diving requires scientific training methods and practices.

Training for free diving may take place in and out of the water and is a way of preparing the muscles to work even in extreme conditions, such as lack of oxygen or intense pressure.
