The most difficult part after quarantine is to find the proper amount if weights you need😉

Only if you have never towed anybody, you may thin

Only if you have never towed anybody, you may think “it is only 50meters”🤣
What do you think about this part of rescue?
Was it easy?😉

At every level of padi freediving education there

At every level of padi freediving education there is a skill to be done - rescue of blacked-out diver.
Different levels require different depth of rescue, but it makes sense as becoming deeper freediver you need to be ready to provide help to the same deep freediver.
Nobody wants to be in a situation when need to use this skill, but everybody wants their buddy to be able to provide this help in case of emergency.
So practice rescue skill in the open water with your freediving buddy to stay fit and keep in the head all the actions which you need to do.
Stay safe and enjoy the water💙

It’s so hard to stay underwater without nose clip face up.
It’s double hard if you need to look beautiful while you are doing this💙

Some people are training for results - competitions or personal best improving.
But for others - training process is just a lifestyle. No purpose, no goal. Simple routine.
Freediving is just another alternative for jogging in the morning in a park next to the house.

Found one video from the old good times💙
When I observe freedivers getting on a boat, almost every time they remind me pirates🤣

And today it was the great day - we are finally allowed for training in a swimming pool!
That’s awesome news as despite the sea was always next to us and with unlimited access, but still even static is much more convenient to train in the “artificial waters”

Hope you can join us soon in your pools!

You know what is the biggest pleasure of being the freediving instructor?
To see the students, who just a while ago were afraid of water or unable to equalize, or maybe believed that 1 minute breath-hold is something not for them... to see these people freediving and smiling upon breaking the surface. To be a part of someone’s victory over the personal fears. To inspire. To believe. And to hear “thank you for teaching me THIS”
It’s our pleasure and our honor to teach you freediving.

Little stretching is always a good idea.

I am always reccomend people who is interested in Freediving to get better in swimming. Why?
1. Swimming will make more confident in the water (crucial for a beginner Freediver)
2. Swimming will make your technique better
And here is an example. This lady is a very good swimmer and she is doing DYNb for the first time ever

Check photo No.2 and DON’T DO like this. You kno

Check photo No.2 and DON’T DO like this.
You know - it is very important to film yourself to check your mistakes, not just to show your grandma, how cool you look like underwater.
Your instructor or coach can tell you 100 times not to bend knees or keep the neck straight, but sometimes, it is better to see once by yourself, then to hear someone’s comments.
So don’t be shy to ask your buddy or coach to film you as often as it is possible😉
And if you don’t know what is wrong with the 2nd photo - don’t hesitate to ask us - in comments or in direct message🧸

HOW TO CHECK if you are properly weighted for the

HOW TO CHECK
if you are properly weighted for the open water session.
➰You make a deep breath in, passive exhale and you see:
- if you are floating on the surface or just beneath the surface - you have just a proper amount of weights
- if you are sinking - you need to remove some weights.
➰ Normally you will be neutrally buoyant at 8-10meters in this case.
➰For recreational freediving you need to take a bit less weights then for line training. Reason for that - you spend a while on a surface and I doubt you want to struggle with your buoyancy
🔹let us know in comments if you learned another way of buoyancy check in the sea.
🔹If this information was new to you - don’t forget to save the post, so you can always come back to it😉

Not sure about Santa Claus and unicorns, but mermaids are real.
However they evolved - no fish tail needed anymore - pair of long fins or a monofin is enough.

In whatever emergency situation you are - call for help is FIRST step. And then you start rescue.

Despite we have the best alternative to the swimming pool here, we miss the view of little blue tiles during the DYN swim.
Hopefully soon swimming pools will be open again and freedivers will finally start trying all their new approaches in static not on the sofas.
Or you missed DYN more and static will go back into shadow?

P.s. @staceywang4192 does it look like your secret beach place?

What is the main thing in quarantine?
The main thing is not to get used to the SOFA LIFESTYLE.
Otherwise, dry static champions would prefer to keep training dry 🤣
