What is Freediving?

Freediving is a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding rather than the use of breathing apparatus such as scuba gear. It involves descending into the water with a single breath, exploring the underwater world in a natural and serene manner. Freedivers focus on relaxation, breath control, and efficient movement to maximize their time and depth underwater. This sport emphasizes the connection between the body and mind, requiring mental clarity and physical discipline. Freediving can be practiced in various disciplines, including recreational diving, spearfishing, underwater photography, and competitive diving, where divers aim for maximum depth, time, or distance on a single breath. The Sunshine Coast has the largest freediving community in Australia and is the perfect place to get involved in this sport.
