Wow. Nothing about STA. Nothing about DYN. Nothing about floats. Nothing about lines and lanyards. Nothing about overweighting. Nothing about blackouts and LMC. Nothing about relaxation. Nothing about hyperventilation. Nothing about Frenzel. Nothing about physiology. Nothing about proper buddying technique, and to never freedive alone.
@@slgarrett This is an introduction video on freediving. Freediving is a broad topic, and this video is meant solely to provide a basic understanding of it. All other topics are covered in Freediving Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 sessions. This video is kept simple to encourage people to take up freediving.
@@underwatermonk i wouldnt say snorkling and freediving are the same even tho they are similar at beginner levels, intro course about freediving should focus on equalization, breathing, what happens in the body and how to stay calm, and maybe basic stuff about duck-diving etc. Not so much focus on gear since freediving after all is about not having gear. I started my freediving with no gear at all, not even a snorkle and cyclop. So what you need is to understand how to calm the body and make as little effort as possible so you can stay underwater for a longer time.
@@athleticventure5694 This was just Introduction for beginners,Basic freediving course is a entry level course . Student must have some basic knowledge on equipment. Coming video we will focus on breathing, equalization,relaxation. For more information please write to theunderwatermonk@gmail.com, we will be happy to share you the details.
Keeping a snorkel in your mouth during freediving is discouraged for several important reasons: Safety Risk: If you accidentally black out or lose consciousness underwater, having a snorkel in your mouth can prevent your airway from closing naturally, increasing the risk of water entering your lungs. Increased Drag: A snorkel adds drag in the water, making it harder to streamline your body and move efficiently. This can lead to increased effort and oxygen consumption, which is counterproductive in freediving. Jaw Fatigue: Biting down on a snorkel for extended periods can cause jaw fatigue or discomfort, distracting you from your dive and reducing your focus. Interferes with Equalization: Freedivers need to equalize the pressure in their ears as they descend. Having a snorkel in your mouth can interfere with proper equalization techniques, leading to discomfort or even injury. By removing the snorkel before a dive, freedivers can ensure better safety, efficiency, and overall comfort in the water
We always tell our students to remove the snorkel during freediving or skin diving.This is an old video, shared just for basic knowledge on freediving.Please ignore the snorkel in the mouth, everyone.
While snorkels with purge valves are useful for snorkeling and shallow skin-diving, since the snorkel is supposed to be OUT of your mouth while freediving, shouldn't you be using a J-style (NO PURGE) snorkel when freediving????
