Fortunately, there is a third category to which it’s up to you to decide to belong! The category of those who understand…
Introduction I always thought the glottis neutral/natural position was “open”. Like many freedivers, when I encountered leaking mouthfill issues, I assumed that one of the
This exercise aims at improving the comfort and efficiency of the mouthfill equalization. It is an exercise to be done during a neutral/empty lung session
Mask equalization can be a critical factor in reaching new depths:Systematic mask equalization will cause you to lose a significant amount of air that will
In this article we will focus on the technique needed to dive in « classic » Frenzel (there is no question of « mouthfill »,
After attending my second freediving course and learning about lung volumes, my understanding of residual volume was as follows: “Residual volume is the minimum size
Even if you have only recently been doing apnea, you certainly know how quickly you tend to become dehydrated during this activity. But what you
No, you don’t have equalization issues
