Pool vs Depth
Training
Training in the pool is the most effective method for beginners and intermediate freedivers to hone breath-holding capacity and advance as a freediver. While depth dives offer its own progression, targeted, substantial improvements are best achieved in the pool’s structured setting. Here, not only can you train with more repetitions and higher intensity, but you can also confidently push your limits under the safety and expert guidance of our freediving instructors. At Freedive.Life our approach not only ensures safety but also fosters long-term progression.
