It's no surprise that freediving (apnea diving or breath-hold diving) has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world! Freediving allows divers to explore the beauty of the underwater world in one breath the way nature intended, without the encumbrance of or investment in expensive equipment. Freediving forces us to be present in the moment. When you slide underwater, your "land life" is put on hold, and the instant calming effect of a quiet mind becomes convincingly obvious.
