Kota Jakarta Barat Trip Overview
In its most common form, freediving is diving without the assistance of breathing apparatus and without leaving any “footprint” to the environment. To accomplish this freedivers learn breath-hold techniques in order to do entire dives on one breath. The challenge of holding your breath and swimming deep may seem crazy to some, but it is one of the most exhilarating experiences you can have in the water. Here, in Freediving Society we will share with you the amazing sensations of freediving. You will learn the body’s reaction to rising carbon dioxide levels, how to hold breath beyond the usual comfort level and how to come back to the surface and regain normal breathing in a safe and enjoyable way.

Itinerary
The freediving Level 1 is about the fundamentals of freediving. Unlike scuba diving where you learn how to use your equipment in freediving we learn how to use our body.
We learn how the body works when we hold our breath and about the mammalian dive reflex, a series of mechanism in our body, that allows us to enjoy diving while holding our breath.
The course has 2 theory sessions and 2 open water sessions. We start with theory, mostly to understand what is happening in our body when we hold our breath. The next step is to use special breathing techniques to slow our body down and activate the mammalian dive reflex. We practice breathing and become familiar with the rhythm before going to the pool.
