You are a Freediver

Freediving is not only attainable to every human, but it is natural. We already possess the key components; most importantly the mind mind, closely followed by the body. You don't need to buy a fancy new piece of equipment to go any deeper; all you have to do is understand what your mind and body are naturally doing, and stay calm through the process.

The crazy thing is that your body is made to do this, it naturally includes a hidden, pre-programmed dive package. As soon as your face comes into contact with cold water, your body starts to prepare you for diving. Have you ever tried to hold your breath for a long time and then gotten that hiccup, that convulsion? It's really uncomfortable, and it's your body's way of screaming at you for air...but here's the kicker. After that first convulsion your body still screams at you, but behind the scenes it starts to accept the fact that it might not get air for a while...and that's when the magic happens. Your dive reflex fully kicks in. Your heart rate slows down, blood doesn't flow all the way out to your extremities, and a host of other actions occur that put you into high efficiency freediving mode...and it happens on its own! Your job is just to keep your mind calm, to know what is actually happening inside your body, and focus on that instead of the discomfort you're feeling in the moment.

There is much more to this, and there are limits that you need to pay attention to in order to be safe...but everyone should experience the amazing capabilities of their body under water. The best way to do this is to take a dang class. I can't emphasize this enough. You will be in a comfortable, controlled environment that will fully allow you to experience the natural capabilities of your mind and your body, and I can PROMISE that you will be blown away! Stay tuned because I'm going to post my own experience taking a freediving course, where I went from a deepest dive of 35' all the way down to 115' in just 2 days! One of the coolest experiences I've ever had in my life, and you need to try it for yourself!
