by applying these techniques you will be able to hold your breath longer. You will be able to relax more while freediving so you can enjoy your dives more. These techniques will also allow you to improve and become a better freediver.

The video touches on the significance of relaxation in freediving. How move and swim more efficiently. The best ways to approach your freediving in the short and long term and as always we talk about equalisation.

1. Relaxation really does matter
2. Use less energy
3. Equalise often
4. Progress slowly
5. Swim streamlined
Bonus: Don't make fun of Adam's lisp!

I’m from the mountains. We have some lakes but most people are too boring to enjoy them. Thanks for the information to help me have more fun in new environments

I had no idea how much swimming frequently had helped my lung capacity. I am 17 and I stopped swimming about 3-4 years ago. A week ago I started learning about freediving and I started to measure my breath holds as a way to check if Covid had damaged my lungs XD when I do indeed contract the virus. I have recorded 5 breath holds since a week ago:
1:43:26 Standing
1:28:59 Sitting
2:27:89 Bed
1:55:51 Sitting
3:05:56 Bed
I also noticed a physical change and relaxation when I imagine my face being submerged in water. I'm pretty happy with those times and next time I get to swim out from the shore. I'll be diving down along the seafloor :) Thx for the tips

Love your accent and energy Adam. Great videos. Keep up the great work!

Sammy the slimy snake swallowed seven slippery sausages for supper on Sunday.

I'm enjoying watching your videos. Haven't really noticed the lisp until you pointed it out... darn it, now I guess I'm not going to be able to watch any more without thinking about it. You and your wife both seem like you have a true love for life, and you are both very enjoyable to watch. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

I've been exploring free diving for a few years now, but your videos have really gotten me excited. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I haven't been able to find instructors here in the Houston, Texas area, but just found someone from Oklahoma who teaches in San Marcos (near San Antonio.) Not much interest in competition, but I do want to learn how to improve my bottom time. Here's crossing my fingers.

Going for my first dive today, so excited! One of my workmates is showing me a local spot. I'll definitely be heading across to your equalising video!

This helped me out a LOT, I can’t wait to try these tips. I recently went to St. Croix to visit my sister and we went freediving, and I’ve also been to a few local springs, but I’ve never been able to go further than like 20 feet. I didn’t know it was possible to become negatively buoyant, so I’m glad to hear it’s something I can work on (I’m very new to it so I don’t know much of anything). I can hold my breath for a minute and a half above water, but underwater it’s literally like 10-15 seconds. Glad to know it’s mostly because of simple mistakes I’m making that I can work on! Thanks!

I’m going Freediving August 1 off Rhode Island and am so excited!! Thank you for helping with technique!

[MrHetchins]

love you clips just started out freediving after being on the sidelines for years many thanks

[markfisher]

100% right. One thing I would modify, equalizing is most critical as you leave the surface.

[ozabdi]

Thanks Adam, I used to freak out when I go in & get confused & get that "urge" of breathing, after I watched one of ur vids & started to relax it helped very much till a small fish started swimming with me everywhere in the island of Zanzibar.

I stumbled on your channel, while watching a free dive video. Really enjoying your tutorials. Thank you!

I really appreciate this video and concentrated insightful information. I think it's exactly what I needed to see/hear.

[charlesclements]

Thank you very much. Personally, I do not worry whether some one has a lisp or stutters. I enjoy the videos.

[daneckel]

I enjoyed your video... you have a great sense of humor. Keep doing what you're doing.
