Freediving Competitions Explained: Understanding Competitive Freediving
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Freediving competitions can he hard to understand. In this video I hope to clarify competition freediving and the world of competitive freediving in general. I explain many of the rules, the purpose of freediving in competitions and what athletes are trying to achieve.
There are three disciplines in Freediving competitions. With Fins, which is where freedivers dive as deep as they can with fins. No Fins, where freedivers dive as deep as they can without fins using an adapted breast stroke technique and Free Immersion, where divers pull along the descent line to propel themselves.
Each freediving discipline has it's own challenges and they each test different aspects of a freediver's skills. The rules that apply to freediving competitions also apply to freediving records attempts. World record attempts and national record attempts.

Gratz on the dive, fist bump returned.
boom! thanks bro
If everything goes black in this video that means you were holding your breath and got hypoxic. Great video sir.
hahahah thank you :) i stuffed up the upload haha
Thank you Adam. Looks like you lost a bit of weight :) I can imagine the amount of training that is required for this type of events. Congratulations on the new record and bronze medal. Less than 3 months for deep week now. Can't wait :)
I know! I'm heaps excited :) yeah I lost a bit towards the end of the comp....there were a few things that I didnt manage so well during this comp but it's all good :) I know for next time.
From 6:45 there is quite long Black Out :)
i think he was holding his breath during editing...
PJ Freediving haha I stuffed up the export of the video and didn't realise until I posted it haha
Congratulations on the medal and keep the videos coming! 💪👊
Kyle Lowe thanks heaps Kyle :) will do for sure!
I hope everyone has seen the 1988 movie "The Big Blue"!
Bought it and have shown it to many non divers. One of my absolute favorites
Thanks for the tutorial, this is something I never thought before.
Blerim Ahmeti thank you :) just trying to make the sport itself less obscure :)
OMG! That's so very exciting!!!! Good luck in the competition!!! :) Thanks for explaining how it works to a land crab like me... :)
hahahaha Land Crab is a great term! thanks so much :)
Congrats Adam, next is world record + Guinness book of world records. K tnx
Joe Indehbawks thank you :) absolutely it is!
Congrats Adam!
Ollancio Soares thanks so much!!! 😊
Your my Favorit freediving youtuber :)
Red Baron273 thank you Red Baron :)
Nice info,.. does it is the cause Alexey disqualified (I believe he said that due to sending ok sign by not look into the judge).. I will check Alexey vid then ti see what happened. Again, thank you for this valuable information Adam 🙏
You're very welcome Reshi :) yes Alexey was not facing the judges when he did the okay sign :)
Adam! Congrats on the Bronze! Keep it up! Funny i hit a PR myself today - 14 x 25m under water swims per your other video for dynamic apnia training - I'm coming for ya! 😝
Hey enjoy the competition.
Jonny Cyk hahaha oh no, well from now on you can't watch my other tutorials 😜 I can't be giving everything away to my competition! Nice one though! That's a good table!
Congratulations on the new record and the bronze good job
thanks so much!! :)
Free Immersion all the way!
oh no....oh no....oh no.........it's my least favourite
Congratulations, Adam! I wish some day I could dive as deep as you.
thanks so much :) i hope so too! it's a great feeling
Hi Adam, missed you live stream comments yesterday on the last day competition. Meeeeen, so many BOs, hope not so many squeezes ...
Btw. Congrats for the bronze 👍🏻
thanks so much bro! Yeah I'd say there was a lot of both of those things unfortunately
Great video once I recover from this back surgery I'll be back to diving, I'm no where near this level of diving but am hoping to get there one day
MR-FLIP wishing you the speediest of recoveries! Doesn't matter the level the ocean is the best place on earth
MR-FLIP wishing you the speediest of recoveries! Doesn't matter the level the ocean is the best place on earth
congratz on the medal . Fist Bump!
Gonçalo Moreira boom! Thanks bro :)
Congrats on your new record man! Thanks for the great videos🙂 do you run any training programmes? If so when and where?🙂
Thanks Jody :) I have an 8 day training camp in Bali 4th - 11th of November. Flick me an email if you want all the details :) adam.thomas.stern@gmail.com
Thanks for the reply, Sucks that that's our company's busiest time :( Do you do these camps multiple times a year? :)
Great video as always, have you ever had a squeeze? I seem to be quite susceptible to it, makes me discouraged from depth diving and traveling somewhere to train for it
Thank you :) I have had a few squeezes but I don't have them often. There are ways of dealing with it so the best thing would be to chat to some trainers about it and then go and train with them
Thanks! I always wondered about the rules of freediving :)
Dr. Science very welcome :)
Congrats! It's really cool result
thanks heaps :)
biggest gap between men and women is without fins - i wonder why that is? also, with and without fins are actually pretty close in depth, you'd think fins would make more diffrence!
it's because half the dive is a freefall and the biggest gap is with no fins because it's the category which you need muscle and strength for the most
Congratulations :) - See you soon here in Cebu, Philippines :D
ponyo bites thank you! See you soon!
Hi Adam! When I dive I start spinning. How to counter this? I guess this has to do with my dominant right leg? Also, could u give me any advice on losing weight to get fit for freediving? Thanks and keep the good work up!
Yeah most likely because you're finning stronger with one leg. I'll make a tutorial about fitness for freediving very soon!
Hi Adam! Thx for your channel!
I'm not a freediver but I'm very interested in learning it (not competitive btw).
But I'm confused about weighting... Is it necessary for freediving between 10 and 20 metres for example? Cause you do a lot of freediving without weights. Could you do an episode about this pls?
Thanks buddy! I will definitely do an episode about this :) It's not neccesary to wear weight for those depths but it really depends on if you're wearing a wetsuit or not
Thx! Looking forward to it :D
nice explained, tnx!
IstrianTramp you're very welcome :)
Congrats dude
M Grey thanks so much :)
Adams i apreciatted you a lot but i want to know is it posible in free dive inmersión to y use your feet and legs because i so free dive during ascendíng Kikíng like no fins Style is that posible.... i hope you help me with the question...
thank you so much adam.
you're so so welcome :)
I can see you dive with out a maske, do you close your eyes or keep them open.?
denmyos I close them
Adam ok, but how do you know you have reached lets say 104 meters? If you dive with eyes closed?
Congrats to new record!
thanks so much!
Are you doing any other competitions in this tournament? Or are you done. Congrats btw. 🤙🏽.
I'm all done and the comp is now done :) thanks heaps though!!!
Cool video but uuum I thought there are some other disciplines is freediving...perhaps in a swimming pool?
Alan Maddick 😂😂😂 oh I'll get to those
Thanks for the vid
lachlan brown very welcome :)
If my memory serves well, you can do some kind of rotation excersive for your chest what expend the chest, do you know this and does it work to make more room for your lungs?
No, exercises like that don't really do anything for the lung capacity....i wish they did! haha
I'm 13, and am no proper swimmer or free diver. Im fairly un-fit but not *massively* overweight for my age. I swam a length underwater yesterday. Is this good? *Also any tips on improving my underwater swimming?*I don't really go on holiday to countries where I can dive downwards and 3m in the pool is my best lol. Thanks for any tips you have or training exercises
That's very good! just make sure an adult is watching you when you try this and as for swimming underwater....just swim slow and relaxed ;)
Adam Freediver thanks for the reply :) Starting at a new school today... with a swimming pool!!

Some freedivers gets pulled down by weights or something. What is that called?
Himynameisfy no limits free diving or variable weight but they're not recognised competition disciplines
Himynameisfy perhaps you have seen free divers free falling from 40m+. The density of the air in their lungs is so high that it is heavier than water causing a no effort descent.
Yay a Adam with out a moustace !!!😝👌👍
hahahaha so many people hated my glorious mo.......(sad face)
What do you do for living?
I freedive :) i'm sponsored
