There are several forms of apnea. Static apnea involves staying close to the surface without movement, no-limit apnea with a weight, where depth records are generally broken… and the list is not exhaustive. Everyone can find the discipline that suits them. Above all, a freediver must master their body and the vital impulses that drive it, which necessarily involves mastering the mind. With regular training, the suffering disappears, leaving only the joy of diving.
Of course, there are risks, as all sports carry them, and freediving is no exception.
The challenge for the novice is to balance their effort between the desire to push their personal limits and the danger of accidents. It is for these reasons that this sport must be structured, supervised, and have medical assistance. This is the goal set by freediving enthusiasts: to promote this discipline, demystify it, so as to make it safely accessible to the greatest number.
Images of training, competitions, or a simple underwater stroll among friends, freediving is experiencing unprecedented enthusiasm. The interventions of experienced divers reveal a sport that seemed reserved for extraordinary men.
