Awesome Free-diving Club

NZD $25.00

Awesome Free-divers Club is aimed at introducing people to free-diving and regularly practicing skills for more advanced members.

Free-diving, also known as breath-hold or apnea diving, is diving without benefit of a breathing apparatus. It is a sport with several different competition categories such as diving with or without fins, weight-sleds, depth records set in the ocean and breath-holding records set in pools.

Freediving requires physical fitness, mental discipline and training. Its an amazing rush to push your body to new limits. Imagine holding your breath for five minutes or more. The current world records for static apnea are 10:13 min for men and 8:00 mins for women.

If you want to find other free divers to train with and attend regular pool training sessions to practice your skills then Awesome Free-divers is the club for you.

There are a number of different disciplines within professional free-diving, below are listed the ones most suited to the Awesome Free-divers Club.

Pool disciplines

Static Apnea - timed breath holding.
Dynamic Apnea With Fins. This is underwater swimming in a pool for distance. For this discipline the athlete can choose whether to use bi-fins or a monofin .
Dynamic Apnea Without Fins. This is underwater swimming in a pool for distance without any swimming aids like fins.

Depth disciplines

Constant Weight Apnea - the athlete has to dive to the depth following a guide line that he or she is not allowed to actively use during the dive. The ‘Constant Weight’ refers to the fact that the athlete is not allowed to drop any diving weights during the dive. Both bi-fins and monofin can be used during this discipline.
Constant Weight Apnea Without Fins - follows the identical rules as Constant Weight, except no swimming aids such as fins are allowed.
Free Immersion Apnea - a discipline in which the athlete uses the vertical guiderope to pull him or herself down to depth and back to the surface.

Awesome Free-dive club allows you to get close to fish as you blow no bubbles freediving.
