10 ADVANCED SNORKELING TIPS (from a freediver)

🏆 Check out my Breath-Hold Training Program:

🐬🐬 Hi, I'm Gert Leroy, a freediving coach and former national record holder. On this channel, I’ve helped thousands hold their breath longer.

If you’re a beginner freediver or curious about breath-holding:

• Struggling to hold your breath longer, no matter how hard you try…
• No idea what to train or how to get started…
• Tension, discomfort, or panic when trying to hold longer…
• Feeling overwhelmed just thinking about holding your breath…

I built the Underwater Squad for you.

It's the same method I’ve used to help thousands reach 3, 4, even 5-minute breath-holds, without pushing or feeling uncomfortable.

If you’re serious about training your breath-hold, join the Underwater Squad:

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️
The breath-hold and breathwork exercises in this video are for educational purposes only.
🚗 Dry breath-holding should never be practiced while driving or in any situation where loss of consciousness could be dangerous. When practicing alone, never use a nose clip or mask. 💦 Breath-holding in water should only be done with an experienced buddy who is trained to perform a proper rescue in case of a blackout. ⚠️ Never use the Wim Hof Method or any other hyperventilation-based breathing techniques in the water, as this increases the risk of shallow water blackout. 🏥If you have any medical conditions, including but not limited to heart, lung, or neurological issues, consult a doctor before practicing. By participating, you assume full responsibility for your safety and well-being.

Snorkel out of the mouth is a game changer, how have I not realised this before. Thanks.

[JulianSAirstriker]

so much great info in this short video. Thanks!

[DarthMuffin]

Great video…i cheat a bit before my dives to help with equalization…i use two puffs of afrin in each nostril 30 minutes before i enter the water.

[slgarrett]

Equalizing is totally my limiting factor. When I started freediving I was surprised how quickly I could extend my breath hold way beyond the time I was actually underwater by doing the exercises. I’ve never felt desperate for air at the end of a deep freedive. Instead I get stuck and have to turn around because my ears won’t equalize. It’s frustrating. Sometimes if I pause a moment and try a few extra times my head will clear and then I can keep going but not always.

[robjonson]

Great vid thanks, I’ve been stuck at 3/4m for years - I can’t even equalise while sat on a plane 😂 never mind it’s still cool being in the water.

[gavinwood]

Thanks for this video.

Going snorkelling and free diving in Eygpt this year.

Great tips 👌

[culionfishingtv]

Thanks for sharing i wish i can hold my breath at least 3 to 4 minutes

[starchildarryl]

OMG...so helpful wish i saw this before my last trip. will def remeber for my next. i was kicking not properly, and not duck divoing properly

[SindreEide]

I have not had time to dive much the last months so no idea how deep I be able to go now, but my record is about 15m deep. My static breathold record is 5.5min so Equalization is 100% the problem stoping my depth gainz. I do the Frenzel tecnique. I have been doing it naturally even before diving or knowing what it was.
