Freediving Breathe Up and How to Breathe for Freediving: hold your breath longer

The breathe up, how to breathe for freediving and freediving breathing techniques are the topics covered in this video and is possibly the most essential information for us as freedivers. Freediving breathing techniques and a correct breathe up ensure safety, comfort in the water and also allow freedivers to hold their breath longer.
- How to breathe up?
- What is hyperventilation?
- What breathing is safest?
Questions about breathing techniques for freediving and breath holds are some of the most common questions that I get asked so I hope this video answers some of those questions!
One of the issues that i've been grappling with is that I don't want to create content that people feel supersedes freediving courses. At the same time though I get so many questions from so many divers who simply do not and will never have enough money to take a freediving course. So this video had been made for those people. Those who cannot afford the information and training that others can.

    Binge-watching your channel !! I began swimming at age 4 and was a lifeguard at 13 in Canada. I began freediving at age 11 and could hold my breath about 6 minutes and swim about 200m without fins. I also played all the brass instruments and sang in the church choir, so I had learned about diaphragmatic breathing very early on. Now, much later in life and a grandpa, I want to get back into snorkeling and enjoying the beach with my grandson. Thanks for the annoyingly long video - much appreciated !! 🤣

    Thank you for pointing out there's no perfect way to approach breath ups prior to a dive. All of our physiology is different and we react accordingly. Great video, I've been researching gaining any additional bit of information prior to an upcoming Level 4 course, this helped! Lastly, to all those attempting to learn freediving from KZread stop where you're at now. As mentioned in this video nothing replaces the time and skills learned during a course while safely being monitored by an Instructor.

    Using my BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser I’ve made tremendous improvements in my breathing capacity and endurance. Additionally, I now always breath through my nose and hold my breath with empty lungs for as long as I can to trigger an increase in red blood cells. I was a mouth breather by mistake to my detriment, including anxiety. I’ve seen my energy/libido increase, my outlook on life be bright and my sleep is deeper. My sinuses also stay clear due to the nose breathing. At night I tape my mouth gently shut to prevent mouth breathing. I’m truly grateful I got my breathing fixed!

    I'm glad I found your channel! I need to look over you material. I am brand new. To free diving. I usually swim around fresh water springs. My deepest was only a mere 30 ft. Where I lack is equalization and sinus cavities. I got punched in middle school and my septum is so deviated that they couldn't even get a tiny COVID swab in it. Luckily my right side is fine. Apparently on Friday, my sinuses were pressurized while trying to go down so I was trying to pop my ears my pinching my nose and pushing. Well apparently I pushed too hard or something because the nerves in ym teeth, especially on my bas sinus side began ringing with sharp pain, and my sinuses felt very inflamed. I blew my nose to discover I must have ruptured something in my sinus cavity as I was now bleeding . Once they released, I coughed out what looked like my kidney through my post nasal. I'm still getting residual now and then. So I don't know if that was a very rooky mistake or due to my injury in the past that I annoy dive deep. None the less I want to learn the breath hold as we also like to snorkel reefs when we can. Sorry for the long post. I am just looking for answers.

Does such controlled breathing really give you more relaxation than normal breathing? Another question: do I use this breathing in between the holds in a table training, e.g., static?

    Hi Adam, I took a free diving, level one, course several years ago and have not done a lot of free diving since except in a pool doing dynamic apnea underwater laps. With regards to you breathing up process 5 seconds in in 10 seconds out, in my practice I have been starting my breath ups at about 3 in 6 out and then slowly increasing that pattern over a period of several minutes to 10 in 20 out as I become more and more relaxed. I don't feel any urge to breath during the 20 second exhale, in fact I feel like the more relaxed I get the longer I could go maybe 15/30. Is this counter productive? Would I actually get a longer breath hold/dynamic apnea swim, if I keep to the 5 second 10 second pattern? Thanks.

    the thing with the breathe up is that Its really just there to make usre you dont hyperventilate. Breathe up's dont really extend breath hold time or anything like that. That's why I like to keep them as simple as possible. It sounds like what you're doing is a little too complicated with room for error and the ability to start your different dives with a different amount of C02. The goal is to always have the same amount of C02 :)

    Interesting. I free dived for 20 years before I discovered FD training. At 81 I just got a pacemaker. Had a bad experience last year in Bahamas. Cruising at 30 ft I had to vomit, raced to surface and went into extreme hyperventilation while gagging to puke. Finally calmed down and recovered. Dove another week with no problems but did not push out of my comfort zone. Recently noticed my fitness at gym was deteriorating so went to cardiologist, long story short arteries are good but electric circuits bad, thus pacemaker. Back at gym feeling great. Looking forward to getting back in the water when I can. Too old to run our boat offshore so opportunities are diminishing. I believe there are others who FD with pacemakers. BTW - don't be too proud of your bradycardia. Extreme breath holds and extreme bradycardia kills brain cells.

    Hi Adam, love your video. When i'm snorkeling and adjust pressure on my ears after going deeper in the water I feel like i'm about to black out, so i have to get back up. Even when i'm not under water for that long, is there something i can do about this?

    Billy Nectar there are many things that could be going on and I'm not qualified to make any medical assessment so the only thing I can really say is that if you are equalising too forcefully it could cause this to happen

    +Billy Nectar Try to equalise using the pressure from your tongue instead of your lungs. It is also recommended to get a doctor check your respiratory system and heart condition, for more assurance. Dive safe!

    Hi Adam, really love your videos and the level of detail that you go into. I've been eagerly awaiting your video on Recovery Breathing (which you teased at the end of this). Scouring KZread, I've found virtually no info on Recovery Breathing. Come take a bite of that sweet, sweet monopoly on recovery breathing videos! You'll stand atop of them all, and the freediving world will thank you. Hope you'll consider doing it soon. Thanks!

I can hold my breath for about 2 minutes just sitting down although I've never trained or tried other than yesterday but I also have more muscle than the average guy, I wonder how negative that will effect holding my breath. *untrained 4 to 5 minutes?!?!

So that is for all that you’ve done because you are a motivation to me and your information kept me safe in the water so keep up the great work

Best wishes... hope you're well and keeping healthy... thanks again... I shall continue and make great use of your diving expertise ♥️👍🙏👊😎 Still having trouble to equalize at the moment and trying to figure out the Frenzel method (had a few giggles whilst watching that video 😂😂👍) but shall keep at it and hopefully get my body to do what I want/need it to do 🤞 keep up the great work 😎✌♥️

    I only swim in local lakes and rivers and am working my way to a simple 2 minute dive for the simple recreational swimming I do. Thus, taking a course or something is not very feasible for me. I said all of that to say...Thank you for making these simple videos...and I hope your classes fill up for years to come. I've learned a ton just watching these and if I ever get into the real "deep water" I would love to do so at one of your events. So thanks!
