For anyone who enjoys being in the water & exploring the world beneath the waves, the idea of doing so without the trappings of breathing apparatus is the ultimate goal. Freediving provides the opportunity to do so for those who have mastered the art of holding their breath while investigating what lies beneath the surface of the sea. Originating from traditional techniques used for collecting sponges, fishing, pearl diving & reclamation, free diving dates back as far as Ancient Greece. Today, freediving is a chance to eschew the technology that makes it possible to breathe underwater, relying instead on the human body’s capacity for adapting to its environment & withstanding the forces of nature for moments at a time. This experience starts with a warm welcome from a trained instructor who will introduce themselves before fitting the diver with their mask & fins & ensuring that they are comfortable. Then, it’s time to begin the underwater adventure & the instructor will encourage participants to get comfortable in the water as they learn how to control their breathing. Being able to relax in underwater surroundings & focus on the techniques will enable divers to hold their breath for longer. The instructors will talk participants through the science of freediving, explaining how the body uses oxygen & the best way to preserve it when under the water. This freediving experience is a great introduction to this fun & fascinating sport & can provide an ideal foundation for those who want to go on to learn scuba diving.
