Freediving Equipment
Gears:
- Mask Low-volume to reduce air space and improve comfort.
- Snorkels is used for surface breathing and easy transitions to diving.
- Long fins, flexible fins are designed to provide efficient propulsion with minimal effort. The choice of fins, plastic , fiberglass or carbon impact directly your performance.
- Wetsuits provide thermal protection and buoyancy. Freediving-specific wetsuits are often streamlined to reduce drag and improve hydrodynamics.
Physical and Mental Benefits:
Freediving can improve lung capacity, cardiovascular health, and mental focus. The practice of deep, controlled breathing and relaxation techniques also contributes to overall well-being.
Freediving is both an individual pursuit and a competitive sport, offering a unique way to explore and appreciate the underwater world.
- Freediving encompasses several disciplines:
POOL
- DYNB (with bi-fins) or DYN ( with monofin) Dynamic with fins is performed under the surface of water in a pool. Freedivers dive horizontally for distance on a single breath
- DNF (Dynamic No-Fins), the freediver is performed under the surface of water in a pool. Freedivers dive horizontally for distance on a single breath without fins, using only arm strokes and frog kicks.
- STAT : the freediver is floating face down and hold the breath for as long as possible. This is the only discipline where performance is measured by duration.
OPEN WATER
- CWT The freediver descends and ascends with the use monofin without pulling the rope, only a single hold of the rope is allowed in order to turn and stop the descent and start the ascent.
- CWTB, The freediver descends and ascends with the use bi-fins without pulling the rope, only a single hold of the rope is allowed in order to turn and stop the descent and start the ascent.
- CNF The freediver descends and ascends underwater using a breastroke and kick stroke without the use of propulsion equipment and without pulling on the rope.
- FIM, the freediver descends and ascends underwater pulling the rope to descend and ascend .
