The biggest misconception people have about freediving is that it is about your ability to hold your breath for long periods, but its so much more than that. The further you get the more it becomes a meditative-psychology teaching you to relax every muscle in your body. Only then can you reach the depths you want. Have fun!

Agree on this one! I had my intro in freediving last weekend but I am not relax thats why I cant hold my breath for too long time.

so cool to see an Australian youtuber in my area try freediving. I used free dive a lot at shelly beach but just never had anyone to go with so id end up just doing it by myself (which is no good). I think by myself I got to around 12-13 meters deep (around the depth of the underwater motorcycle at shelly beach). I wish you luck on freediving and you definitely inspired me to try it again

Your teacher failing to instruct you to perform the Valsalva maneuver in order to equalize your ears was irresponsible. That's how you cause barotrauma to your ears.

@chadoien4033 4 ай бұрын

That was just the test in the beginning. 😂

@mc-nm6ml 2 ай бұрын

Uhhh no… there’s no way he made it down 8 meters without equalizing. Just cause it wasn’t expressly taught/shown in the video doesn’t mean they didn’t go over it.

@m.bird. 2 ай бұрын

We use Frenzel, not Valsalva, to equalize. It's one of the first things an instructor teaches.

That's a great start, Laurie! I love swimming and diving, but I am super bad at breathing.. 1 minute max and I hyperventilate lol. The last shots are beautiful, swimming with seals must be amazing. Can't wait for your next challenge /video! Take care

Nice! Once you’re past the initial thresholds there is no looking back! Been freediving my entire life (almost) and to me it’s second nature to be in and under the water holding my breath. Looking forward to seeing more! And really good advice at the end. Stay safe! 👍🏽😀

@kgal1298 10 ай бұрын

I'm doing a class in Hawaii next month so this helps me know what to expect. Though I am a practiced swimmer so I know you can hold your breath on average for a minute on land so that doubles in the water typically, but static holds is always the worst.

Swimming with the seals; awesome! I didn't realize the head-down equalizing can be an issue. I've gone down maybe 6-10m while snorkeling and really looking forward to doing a proper Freediving course with an instructor, hopefully this year, to learn to go deeper and stay longer for those fun dives. Stay safe and have fun!

Happy For You! You will love this sport for life. The Ocean is so fast and peaceful. I learned Freediving from the Badjaos in the Philippines in 1980. I used a different technic of breathing. I usually dive alone but please never dive alone if you're not confident with yourself. Positivity is a must in Freediving. Take Care Bro!

Thinking that the air comes out through the ears is a big misconception 😂 If so, bubbles would be seen escaping from the ears. What you essentially do is increasing the pressure in your middle ear through the Eustachian tubes, to match it with the pressure outside. Great video, btw!

I was diving recently in turkiye. Just for fun and to take some videos with my gopro. I thought it is normal but maybe im the only one. I can feel my ear after like 40cm. Then I feel slight pain after maybe 1,5-2m about 3,5m the pain i really really strong. It was my first time and I didnt know how to regulate the pressure. Do I need practice or are there some kind of people who cant dive ?
