If you are thinking of trying out your first Freediving course, these are the 7 skills you will be gaining:
- You will first learn the proper breathing technique for a breath-hold, and be able to hold your breath for up to 3 minutes!

- You will be able to dive safely and comfortably to a depth of 10 meters or more!
- You will gain more confidence in the water
. Learning about the inbuilt mechanisms which allow us to stay under water comfortably will make you realize that being in oceans or lakes is second nature to us!
