Freediving with Annelie Pompe and Elin Larsgren
Over five days you will have the opportunity to delve deeper into freediving with Annelie Pompe & Elin Larsgren. The course combines theory and practice, where you will learn about the physiology of freediving, safety and rescue methods, as well as different forms of breath-holding and breathing training. We will go through swimming techniques, relaxation, yoga for freedivers and lung stretching that will help you to be able to take in more air and feel safer below the surface.
You can practice deep diving along a line, try out different types of equipment and practice making longer free dives along beautiful coral reefs – always in a safe way. Free diving buoys with ropes are on site to facilitate deep training.
As an added bonus, Annelie & Elin will also take photographs during or after the course, so you can take memorable freediving pictures of yourself home with you.
