Free-diving refers to various aquatic activities that share the practice of breath-hold diving. Examples include breathhold spearfishing, freedive photography, Apnea competitions and, to a degree, snorkeling. The activity that garners the public's attention is Competitive Apnea, considered an extreme sport, where divers attempt to attain great depths, times or distances on a single breath and without direct assistance of breathing apparatus.
Description
"Freediving is not about depth, * is about experiencing the sea. I hope that if I do my job well that people will come away with that. They will be intrigued by depth… astonished by depth but I hope they understand it is more about being there" Bob Talbot (Director: Ocean Men)
