The benefits of freediving
Freediving, the practice of diving underwater without breathing apparatus, offers numerous physical and mental benefits.
1. Enhanced Respiratory and Cardiovascular Health
Freediving requires controlled breathing and breath-holding, which can strengthen respiratory muscles and improve lung capacity. This practice also enhances cardiovascular endurance, as the body becomes more efficient at utilizing oxygen during dives.
