Free-diving[change | change source]
In Greek, “Apnea” means “Without air” and free-diving is called “Apnea”.[1] Free-diving is similar to snorkeling, but divers need to hold their breath if they go in deep water.[2] Free-diving doesn't need tools for breathing. Free-divers hold their breath until going up to the surface of the sea instead of using an air tank. Therefore, the most important part of free-diving is learning to breathe well. Most people can free-dive since it doesn’t need a snorkel or scuba tank. However, free-divers condition their mind and body before going free-diving.[3]
History[change | change source]
A huge pile of shells was found when dwellings of the Stone Age were excavated, and this proves that ancestors caught food under the water.[4] Free-diving started by getting food or trading items, but it has developed as leisure, with divers taking photos today.[5] Today, free-diving is widely practiced as a leisure sport like snorkeling and spearfishing. Anyone can go to the sea and see all kinds of sea animals. Also, free-divers can feel peaceful in the water. Free-diving has grown in the past 10 years by many people want to be with nature.[6]
Practice[change | change source]
Learning to breathe is the most important part of free-diving practice. The way of staying in the water longer is to practice breathing slow and deep. Divers breathe in for 5 seconds and breathe out for 10-15 seconds. To avoid over-breathing, they breathe out for a long time more than breathing in. Free-divers practice how to breath in the water, and they can start free-diving when they have a pulse under 80/bpm.[7]
Risks[change | change source]
Professional free-divers can go in the water over 400 feet without any tools for breathing. But some free-divers die. On November. 17, 2013, Nick Mevoli blacked out after trying free-diving at a Bahamas competition. He never woke up again.[8]
Free-diving Tools[change | change source]
Unlike scuba-diving, free-diving needs several basic tools for seeing, breathing, and moving well in the water. Free-diving tools will help free-divers to experience more in the water.[9]
1) Mask[change | change source]
Free-divers choose a lightweight mask to fit their faces to swim comfortably in the water. [10]
2) Snorkel[change | change source]
Another important tool is a snorkel which helps free-divers breathe when swimming close to the surface of the water. It is good to choose a flexible snorkel to avoid biting too hard and to focus on relaxing.[11]
3) Fins[change | change source]
In addition, free-divers need a good fin for swimming better with small effort. Fins help free-divers to reduce using their energy and the heart rate. It helps to travel farther too. [12]
