Local Expert Tip
Unlike scuba diving, freediving isn't about holding your breath for as long as possible—it's about learning to relax. Students who stay calm and focus on proper breathing techniques often make the fastest progress. Don't compare yourself to others; freediving is a personal journey, and steady improvement is far more important than reaching a specific depth.
