Static Breath Hold Workshop
The workshop is suitable for any free diver who wants to improve their comfort level during long breath holds.
We will learn to maximize breath-holding abilities in still water. With the help of preparation and breathing exercises, the diver will reach static breath-holding times of over 3 minutes in the water in a safe and enjoyable way while exercising the marine mammal reflex inherent in him, under the close supervision of an instructor from the Israel Freediving School.
The day is divided into two parts:
Class rate:
We will use lectures, videos, and breathing techniques to help the diver arrive ready in the water.
Water rate:
Enjoy a ratio of 2-3 divers per instructor, which allows for personal attention and precise instructions for improving diving techniques.
The guide will accompany the diver throughout the entire stay underwater, regardless of depth, which enhances the sense of security and safety.
