When a person is immersed in water, physiological changes due to the mammalian diving reflex enable somewhat longer tolerance of apnea even in untrained persons. Tolerance can in addition be trained. The ancient technique of free-diving requires breath-holding, and world-class free-divers can hold their breath underwater up to depths of 214 metres and for more than four minutes. Apneists, in this context, are people who can hold their breath for a long time.
Freedive International has been teaching freediving since 2004.
Founded by freediving champions Lotta Ericson and Linda Paganelli, in co-operation with award winning underwater photographer Jacques de Vos, run freediving schools in Dahab (Egypt), Cape Town (South Africa) and soon in Panglao (Philippines)!
We teach SSI and AIDA freediving courses, run training camps, deep freediving courses, uw photography courses, run freediving competitions and record attempts.
F.I.I. (Freediving Instructors International) was founded by Multiple World Record Freediver and pioneer in freediving education, Martin Stepanek. When you learn freediving from an FII certified instructor, you know you are getting the finest and safest education possible. Promote safe freediving practices with proper freediving education.
