Free Diving lessons

Want to dive into the depths? No problem! The saying goes, learn to walk before you run. In diving it's the same, learn how to free-dive before you get equipped. Many diving companies out there offer excellent quality services. However, others will give you “top notch” presentations that can have a discouraging effect. Some companies charge astronomical amounts of money to train a diver, others do it for free. Don’t be intimidated by a web site. The seas depths are the ones that deserve your respect. It would be impossible to list all the clubs, companies or organisations that offer free diving lessons. Most clubs offer short courses free, or free seminars, or free opportunities. They do so to promote the business. Diving is not like tennis. You have to test it out to see if you like it. Several basic free diving lessons or seminars are free. You can also put together a group and get your own diving for free. Some organisations, companies or clubs offer free diving lessons because they can not get enough of the underwater sensations. Here are some examples of free diving opportunities.

In the UK there is the British Free diving Association ( www.britishfreediving.org ). Free diving is the sport of breath holding, but it is also the skill of descending and timing. If you are into diving, this is a good place to start. Free diving has been used since the beginning of mankind. This is where the spear fishing comes from. In several places snorkelling is a leisure activity. For others diving is strong competition. Free diving is the genesis of diving. The British Free diving Association says free diving has many benefits and it can be compared to a martial art. Diving is ideal for health, specially respiratory illness. Children with asthma have been cured by constant swimming. The British Free Diving Association says it awakens the deeper levels of awareness and perception of control over the body.
