Breath-hold diving

Breath-hold diving, also known as free diving, is a form of underwater diving that relies on holding one's breath instead of using breathing apparatus like tanks. Divers descend and explore underwater for various purposes, such as recreation, sport, or hunting, without surfacing for air. This activity requires training to enhance lung capacity, oxygen efficiency, and safety techniques. Divers typically practice equalizing pressure in their ears and managing their physical limits to prevent shallow water blackout or other risks. Breath-hold diving emphasizes the connection between the diver and the underwater environment, fostering skills in relaxation and mental focus.
