The dive doesn’t start underwater — it starts right here, on the surface 🌊
The preparation phase is one of the most critical parts of any freedive. This is where your body and mind align: breathing slows down, heart rate drops, and muscles begin to relax. Rushing this stage is one of the most common mistakes beginners make.
A proper breathe-up helps you:
— Lower your CO₂ levels naturally
— Activate the parasympathetic nervous system
— Release tension from your body and let your muscles fully relax
— Set the right mental focus for the dive ahead
What you see in the video is not just “lying around” — it’s the foundation of a calm, comfortable, and truly enjoyable dive 🐬
Do you have a favorite mental technique that helps you get into the zone before a dive? Drop it in the comments — or ask me and I’ll share mine 👇
