37. Freediving in Gozo: In front of Billingshurst Cave –The full unedited version of my dive - 2024

Malta - Gozo (Għawdex) - Billingshurst Cave - The full unedited version of my 31.1 meter dive - July 2024

Here’s my unedited dive to a depth of 31.1 meters. It was a very relaxed dive. At the bottom, I was adjusting my camera to make sure I was clearly visible during the ascent ;-). It's just a shame I didn’t hold the camera on the way down, so my descent is a bit chaotic :-D

And the motto of all freedivers: Never dive alone.

I AM A CERTIFIED AIDA FREEDIVER, CAPABLE OF HOLDING MY BREATH FOR MORE THAN 4 MINUTES. DURING ALL DEMONSTRATED DIVES, I AM ACCOMPANIED BY AN EXPERIENCED BUDDY. DO NOT ATTEMPT DIVING WITHOUT ADEQUATE PREPARATION AND EXPERIENCED SUPERVISION!

Tady máte můj nesestříhaný ponor do 31,1 metru hloubky, byl to velmi pohodový ponor. Dole jsem si ještě upravovala kameru, aby na mě bylo dobře vidět při výstupu nahoru ;-). Jen škoda, že jsem si kameru nedržela i při cestě dolů, proto je můj sestup do hloubky malinko chaotický :-D

A motto všech freediverů: Nikdy nepotápěj sám.

JSEM ZKUŠENÁ FREEDIVERKA S CERTIFIKACÍ AIDA, SCHOPNÁ ZADRŽET DECH PO DOBU PŘES 4 MINUTY. PŘI KAŽDÉM ZDE ZOBRAZENÉM PONORU MI ASISTUJE ZKUŠENÝ PARTNER (BUDDY). UPOZORŇUJI, ŽE POTÁPĚNÍ BY MĚLO BÝT PROVÁDĚNO POUZE S DOSTATEČNOU PŘÍPRAVOU A ZA PŘÍTOMNOSTI ZKUŠENÉHO DOPROVODU.

You are a tremendous athlete! When I go freediving (about a couple of times a year) I try to go a little deeper each time. Last time I went diving I finally made it to 15 meters, and I was very proud of myself.But watching your video I realize I have a long way to go!😥Do you practice Yoga or something similar to achieve your breath control? When I'm descending, after about 30 seconds or so I have to stop and come back up for air, and that cuts my dive short.It's kind of frustrating, especially when my fellow divers are able to go a lot deeper.😳
