free diving

Free diving is a form of underwater diving that involves descending and swimming without the use of breathing apparatus, relying solely on a diver's ability to hold their breath. Divers typically use techniques to slow their heart rate and conserve oxygen, allowing them to explore marine environments more deeply and for longer periods. Free diving can be done for recreational purposes, underwater photography, spearfishing, or competitive depth diving. Safety is crucial, as divers must be aware of potential risks like shallow water blackout and must practice proper techniques to ensure their well-being while underwater.
