Freediving competitions

Freediving competitions are events where athletes dive underwater without breathing equipment, relying solely on holding their breath. They compete to achieve records in three main categories: static apnea (breath-hold duration), dynamic apnea (distance traveled underwater), and depth disciplines like constant weight (descending and ascending with fins or without). Athletes train to optimize lung capacity, relaxation, and efficiency. Safety measures are strict, with dive coordinators monitoring all activities. The goal is to showcase skill, endurance, and mental control in a controlled environment or natural settings, highlighting human limits in underwater breath-hold performance.
