The biggest misconception people have about freediving is that it is about your ability to hold your breath for long periods, but its so much more than that. The further you get the more it becomes a meditative-psychology teaching you to relax every muscle in your body. Only then can you reach the depths you want. Have fun!

i love your humble but enthusiastic attitude towards things. i hope this channel blows up because I enjoy your content and I think a lot of other people would too

[fanawane]

Wow, I'm just three days into practicing in the pool, and I'm really thankful I discovered this video. It's incredibly motivating and exactly what I needed to keep pushing forward!

so cool to see an Australian youtuber in my area try freediving. I used free dive a lot at shelly beach but just never had anyone to go with so id end up just doing it by myself (which is no good). I think by myself I got to around 12-13 meters deep (around the depth of the underwater motorcycle at shelly beach). I wish you luck on freediving and you definitely inspired me to try it again

[madladhobson]

i can barely hold my breath for 10 seconds under water haha. nearly 2 minutes for you straight away wow

[kiko]

That's a great start, Laurie!
I love swimming and diving, but I am super bad at breathing.. 1 minute max and I hyperventilate lol.
The last shots are beautiful, swimming with seals must be amazing.
Can't wait for your next challenge /video! Take care

[jujuryan]

Hi Laurie, I really enjoy your videos and I hope whatever the YouTube algorithm is doing with your views that it will change soon again! Your content is awesome and would deserve way more subscribers.

[AjPerson]

I have a feeling this video is going to go viral soon

I'm doing a class in Hawaii next month so this helps me know what to expect. Though I am a practiced swimmer so I know you can hold your breath on average for a minute on land so that doubles in the water typically, but static holds is always the worst.

[kluddkalle]

Nice! Once you’re past the initial thresholds there is no looking back! Been freediving my entire life (almost) and to me it’s second nature to be in and under the water holding my breath.
Looking forward to seeing more! And really good advice at the end. Stay safe! 👍🏽😀

Swimming with the seals; awesome! I didn't realize the head-down equalizing can be an issue. I've gone down maybe 6-10m while snorkeling and really looking forward to doing a proper Freediving course with an instructor, hopefully this year, to learn to go deeper and stay longer for those fun dives. Stay safe and have fun!

Thinking that the air comes out through the ears is a big misconception 😂
If so, bubbles would be seen escaping from the ears. What you essentially do is increasing the pressure in your middle ear through the Eustachian tubes, to match it with the pressure outside.
Great video, btw!

[simracingchannel]

Your baseline was really good ! I went snorkeling this year first time since adulthood and i went down maybe 6m and no longer than maybe 40secs lol. I am thinking maybe taking a free dive course to proper learn the technique and theory.

[de_pack_]

Your challenge videos re-excite me to get out there and try everything possible. Great stuff.

[atag]

very cool. i did mine last year with two pros. day 1 in the pool, 30 seconds and I was terrible compared to the entire class (I was the oldest also), day 3 I did 3 mins 10.... I was the only one that made it down to 60 for the graduation and I was need to continue practicing.. very cool video

[peterhart]

Great video! Awesome editing and a great story… Keep it up.

Free diving looks incredible. I am very jealous haha

[blackhathacker]

Hello, all the things u went through happened to me in my freediving course everything u did was the same for me from holding ur breath for 1 min and 58 sec to free immersion 8 meters to equalization problems but thankfully i improved after some practice i fixed my equalization issues i was using valsalva now im using frenzel and from 1 min 58sec to 4 min 45 sec and to depth of 35 meters and now im a certified freediver from CMAS

[finbarshields]

Awesome video. that seal footage is insane o_o

[olabashanda]

second try almost 2 minutes?!?! seems really good

[bmxeronoffroad]
