Another Extreme Sport-Free Diving

Posted by LauraDerb on March 3rd, 2020

We often discussed scuba diving, one of my favorite hobbies here, but there are more dimensions to diving-free diving. Freediving has become an extreme sport in which competitors try to gain depth with a single breath without the help of an underwater breathing apparatus. But this is not a competitive sport. The simple definition of freediving is "inch with breath" or 1 inch underwater in air-breathing. Since sports are about thinking, skill, and correct weighting, rather than strength, you don't have to be an athlete to enjoy freediving.

Snorkelers are qualified, but there are important factors that separate snorkelers from free divers (and this is an opinion). Obviously you get a feeling of true comfort and relaxation in the water. You live at the moment. So, an hour in the water (if it's a free dive isn't all at once!) Soaked up a week's worry...

Wikipedia's definition of freediving is a variety of underwater activities that share breathtaking underwater diving exercises. Examples include breathing spear phishing, free diving photos, apnea competitions, and snorkeling. The most popular activity is competitive apnea. Extreme sports attempts to achieve depth, time or distance with a single breath, without the direct help of competitors self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba).

The record holder of a very dangerous sport, Freediving, is Patrick Musimi, who dived an amazing 687 feet in one breath. He was underwater for close to 3 minutes.

Patrick's record is incredible. OK-3 Incredibles ... But how amazing is his record! His decision to step down from the freediving competition and go to the 'unlimited' category revealed him as a special human being. According to him, this category should not be considered or used for sports! For more information visit https://www.hurghadadiving.net/.

His quest led to achieving 'ultimate diving'.

Patrick Musimu made a dive in 100, 136, 151, 170, and 185 meters in 10 consecutive weeks in the Red Sea in June 2005, finally reaching myth on June 26. 200 meters

On June 30, 2005, his body was exhausted and stopped after a dive of 209, 6 meters, shattering the deepest human performance registered by almost 40 meters. His record was finally broken by a 214m dive by Herbert Kitsch on June 14, 2007. See more in the next article...

The museum is very concentrated. Listen to his thoughts on how he achieves his dive: "During free diving, I feel my mind separated from the body. When I join the maritime world, I separate from the predetermined thoughts I have there is no absolute and no barrier. "The mental hypothesis. Little by little, my heart is convinced that there is no limit. In this quest, free diving becomes my instrument, and I quietly play like a virtue in a deep, quiet world. "

It is not necessary to dive to 200 meters. After all, it's dark. A 45 second dive up to about 30 feet is usually deep enough. Since the color of the sea and most of the animal's life are within 30 feet of the surface, there is little reason to go deeper. 45 seconds is usually enough time to take a few photos, relax with a fish, or have dinner. Ordinary people can master this kind of dive in about two weeks without spending valuable cash on expensive kits. Masks, snorkels, fins, wetsuits, and weight belt packs can easily fit into duffel bags.

If you have a romantic view of achieving or attaining similar depths as Patrick Musimu, first look at the 1988 film "The Big Blue". Respecting others and sticking where there is light in the sea because of the drink of the sky can only be your reward, except tragedy! -If not, do it properly and get instructions.
