Freediving has really been taking off around the world in the past year or so. The reason is simple, freedivers, experts and learners alike, realise how accessible it really is.
Freediving in Tioman |
Freediving is a wonderful way of being one with nature, of being completely in tune with the underwater world, without requiring any of the heavy and cumbersome scuba equipment. Once you've felt the natural weightlessness of the nurturing sea and the ultimate serenity of the warm sheltered waters, you too will be hooked.
The thrill of freediving |
Dive safely to 20, 30 meters or more on a single breath of air. Stay underwater for minutes at a time. Freediving is a beautiful meditative sport to safely push your limits, and understand your body and mind.
Freediving, free as a fish |
Freediving is a sport with a long traditional history, and an exciting cutting-edge present. Advances in training and techniques over the past several years have led to new records being set regularly. World-class freedivers now routinely exceed depths and breath-hold times that, just a decade ago, medical professionals had assumed to be the human maximum.

Learn some of these techniques to enhance your breath hold time and depth, and keep you safe while you're in the water. Ideal for your next snorkeling or spearfishing adventure, or for a no-tanks session on a scuba trip. Freediving training also makes you less of a gas-guzzler in scuba, prolonging your dive-time.
