OUSIA FREEDIVING ACADEMY
High quality freediving school based in Pemuteran, North-West Bali, Indonesia
What is Freediving?
Have you ever dreamed of diving on a single breath? where you can swim quietly, exploring the underwater world in total freedom, without the need of noisy and heavy equipments? Have you ever felt zero gravity, where you can 'fly' underwater, or where you can fall and glide like Superman?
Those are just some of the sensations you can get through freediving.
Freediving was practiced to gather food since the time men lived in caves, to harvest resources like pearls, and to reclaim sunken valuables. How do you think that abalone came to your plate?
It is now one of the world's fastest growing sports, attracting people from many fields and creating over 200 competitions worldwide. More than just a sport, freediving focuses on correct breathing, relaxation, focus and mental control and as such can be used as a great complementary activity to other sports, such as underwater hockey, spearfishing, skin-diving, and many more.
Although many competitive freedivers are able to hold their breath for more than 8 minutes (the current world record is 11:36), almost every normal human being, with the proper techniques, are able to hold their breath for more than 2 minutes safely.
