Winter Freediving is Here!
Now that daylight is precious, the mountains are covered in snow and the water
has cooled off, freediving in comfort becomes a real challenge. But that doesn't mean
that local freedivers stay out of the water. Winter diving is an adventure and the rewards
are increased visibility, cold weather camraderie and warm apres-diving meals. With a few
tricks and techniques it is possible to stay warm and spend several hours in the water.

What is Freediving?
A freediver relies on a single breath of air to explore the undersea world.
Moving gracefully without wasting energy, a freediver can spend minutes underwater
and experience the ocean as any other marine mammal does. Free from cumbersome equipment,
a freediver can sneak up on a lingcod, or glide to the bottom for a meeting with a seal.
To get started, all you need is a knowledge of basic freediving
safety, a buddy to dive with, equipment and a few tips on technique.
