Training on buddying communication and rescue techniques

The Static Apnea Specialty course is designed to teach freedivers the techniques and safety protocols for static breath holding, a mentally demanding discipline in freediving. The course covers essential aspects such as proper breathing techniques, relaxation methods, and mental focus strategies to improve breath hold performance. It emphasizes the importance of avoiding hyperventilation, understanding the body’s response to increased CO₂ levels, and practicing safe recovery breathing.

Additionally, the course includes training on buddying, communication, and rescue techniques to ensure safety during static apnea sessions. Through structured practice sessions and visualization techniques, participants learn to enhance their breath hold times progressively and safely.
