Free diving - first class review
What is free diving?
Don't need any equipment like a fish. Just feel free.Why I want to learn free diving?
Main reason: Under the sea, it's like flying, only hear the sea, the wave, own heartbeat.This is why free diving is a conversation with yourself.Second reason: In August 2019, went to Okinawa snorkeling, the coach said if want to dive need a dive license.
How and where I learn free diving?

- Abdominal breathing 2~3 times, exhale to the chest and abdomen without air, start to inhale to store air from the abdomen to the chest. Hold your breathe and relax.
- Everyone starts to have the breathe desire at different time. I start at 1:10, it's like the chest will bulge and contract several time. When the breathe desire start, don't worry, just let your body do whatever it needs to do, you have to totally relax, feel it, accept it. Because the breathe desire start very early, maybe at that time your blood oxygen concentration is as high as 98%.
Duck dive
- Use the abdominal strength, like bending over to pick something up.
- I give up....because I know how to use BTV.
- Balanced ear pressure without head. It's like every time you yawn, you will hear a sound like bo bo. That's it.
- The arc of the tick is larger than I think. It will like slow motion of freestyle kick. slightly bent knee, angle should be int line with the legs when you kick.
- The most important point in free diving. Also, the magic point in free diving. Go ahead feel it how comfortable in water.
