Benefits of Freediving

Entering the world of freediving is a life-changing step.  Your mind and body reset and allow you to redefine your beliefs in what you are capable of.  Initial benefits may include:

  • Relieves stress For the few moments that free divers are underwater they are relieved of all other stress factors. If you’re free diving in the ocean, being surrounded by sea creatures is not only a beautiful sight to behold but also an eye-opening experience.
  • Brings you closer to marine life-Free diving is one of the best activities to partake in when exploring marine life. With free diving, you’re able explore the underwater world without all the extra weight of carrying an oxygen tube and other heavy gear as it is with scuba diving. Because you don’t carry the excess of gear, marine life are more likely to even swim with you, giving you a closer experience to nature.
  • Improves focus-Free diving is an activity which requires extreme concentration. Diving underwater without any breathing equipment requires divers to be finely attuned to their external surroundings and the internal state of their body. they are as well as the marine life surrounding them,
  • Therapeutic for the joints – Studies have shown that spending time in and underwater can relieve pressure on the joints and even increase range of motion due to hydrostatic pressure counteracting the usual pressure the body encounters during high impact activities.
  • Strengthen your lungs – Naturally, just as it is with cardio workouts, the more you work your lungs, the stronger they become. In the case with free diving, conditioning your lungs with pre-diving exercise techniques in the short term and long term breathing exercises increases your lungs’ oxygen capacity. This way, you can hold in more air for a longer time.
  • Strengthen muscles –Underwater diving requires the body must contract all its muscles in order to maintain buoyancy, change depth, and even tread water. As you dive deeper into the water, your body will encounter greater water pressure and resistance, thus forcing your body to work harder to get to your desired destination.
  • Boost endurance – The constant movement of your muscles in free diving not only tones your muscles, but also boosts your enduranceof sets and repetitions, but are frequently engaging their muscles and exceeding their limits to meet new goals.
  • Teaches discipline – Free diving is not a sport most people can just jump into. In fact, abiding by free diving techniques, including maintaining proper form and knowing your body’s limits, are essential. Not only must you focus on your body and your surroundings, but you must constantly apply and abide by these rules to ensure a safe and proper dive
