at first i was just curious after watching people diving without oxygen tank and now i literally want to learn this freediving thing 😂

[rachaelwilson]

After watching the breathing portion I forgot how to breath regularly 😂

Fantastic video. We humans are stronger than we think but every step needs planning, never do 2 steps in once.Keep living people

Thank you Gert. As a fit older person having been an endurance cyclist for 30 years and a cyclist for about the same time prior, and having in later life been diagnosed with COPD, largely as a result of frequent unavoidable cycling in heavy traffic and breathing in high levels of particulate, I can seriously relate to the recovery breathing in particular and other breathing techniques you demonstrate. Thank you! Season's Greetings

I'm a novice watching freedive techniques for a week or so and trying it every day in the sea. And all I got with every new video is more and more questions and a totally burned back as a result of 2 hours of trying to duck dive with no good result. Now... You Answered all of my questions in one video. Love you man! Thanks!!!!

I think some people have problems with equalization because they are not aware of some groups of muscles they can/need to train and control to open their eustachian tubes, so most important thing at the beginning is to learn how to do it. I think no matter if you are using valsalva or frenzel. If they are blocked, it won't work. You just apply high pressure to a closed valve.

For example I can easily push the air into my nose cavity without ear equalization, if I don't open my tubes consciously before. They can be also blocked in some head positions. I have found it's easier for me with the chin on my chest and can be really hard with eyes pointing down.

I suffer from severe anxiety to where I got a stroke at 29 😓. After that, I changed the way I view life and manage stress. Im scuba certified but struggled to practice due to my anxiety, but I will get back soon. I was recommended free diving because it suppose to bring this immense peace in you and that you learn how to control your body mentally. That’s something that I need to work on. Thanks so much for this video it will help me with my new journey! 🙏

Congrats Mr Leroy. Probably the best video i've seen to proper beginners. Amazing stuff. The visualization of the breath up and final breath was incredible

[venicevictoria]

You are a great teacher. Am so happy I stumbled upon this channel. I got myself hooked to freediving lately been following AIDA and here u go answering all my questions. Thank you sir!!; ❤

[ninapvalerio]

Omgoodness!! I’ve been banana diving and i never knew that til watching this video. Will work on that. Thanks for sharing!!

[niquicharissebarcoma]

Thank you so much with all your techniques. I just had my intro- and first diving yesterday, I had trouble to equalize due to colds 🤧but I manage to duck dive because of your tips. ☺️ I’m looking forward to dive again when I feel better 🥰

[PA]

Thank you so much. I've watched other instructors but they never give the real information as clear as you do. 🤙🏾

[diannerodriguez]

I just started freediving and will dive again the following weekend. Watching your videos I saw all my mistakes hahaha spot on. Thank you so much for your tips

[wumgub]

This man is 3 people in one. One of them hearts comments, the other one comments and the final one makes the vids.

Great video! I just started learning freediving yesterday as a non-swimmer. Started at 5 meters and it was so fun I’m going back on the 26th. I will definitely bring these tips with me, since I especially need to work on my “banana shaped” position (lot’s of neck tension 😅) and equalization.

[laurafaraj]

Thank you for the tips. I just finished the AIdA2 course in Dahab. Such a beautiful sport ❤️

[richardb]

Wow great advice. Love the style of freediving you focus on! Now if i could ever get back to the water when this crisis abates

[voidago]

Dang, this is pretty cool. I'm gonna go figure out how to hold my breath for 3 minutes now. (You got a new Subscriber)
