Training
Freediving Breathing Techniques
- Diaphragmatic Breathing: Learning to breathe using the diaphragm to fully inflate the lungs.
- Pranayama (Breath Control): Exercises like alternate nostril breathing to calm the mind and improve lung capacity.
- Pursed-Lip Breathing: Used for better control of exhalation and maintaining steady oxygen levels.
- CO2 Tolerance Training: Progressive breath-hold exercises to build tolerance for high CO2 levels, crucial for longer dives.
- O2 Management: Techniques to maximize oxygen efficiency and prepare for longer breath-holds, such as exhale dives and static apnea.
Freediving Training & Coaching
Offering training sessions for all levels with personalized coaching
- Freediving Training Personalized Training Sessions: - Tailored training based on skill level and goals (e.g., depth training, static apnea). - Highlight the benefit of personalized coaching and expert feedback. - **Training Facilities:** - Information on where the training takes place, such as specific dive sites or pool sessions.
- Strength Training: Focus on core, back, and leg muscles for stability and efficient movement underwater.
- Flexibility and Mobility: Stretching for shoulders, chest, diaphragm, and legs, increasing lung capacity and preventing injuries.
Equalization Techniques
Frenzel Maneuver: The most common equalization technique using the tongue and throat.
Valsalva Maneuver: A less efficient but common technique used by beginners.
Mouthfill Technique: Advanced technique for deep diving, where air is stored in the mouth to equalize at greater depths.
Apnea Training
- Static Apnea: Holding breath while stationary to improve mental discipline and oxygen efficiency.
- Dynamic Apnea: Holding breath while swimming to mimic freediving conditions and improve endurance.
- Intermittent Hypoxic Training: Alternating between breathing and holding breath during exercise to simulate the conditions of diving.
