A short while ago, we gave you the best tips for scuba diving. If you are a lover of this kind of sport, stay tuned because today we are going to refer to the deepest freedive and the best free diving world records by discipline. 

What is freediving?

Freediving, or Free-diving, is an increasingly fashionable underwater sport that can be practiced by amateurs who want to discover this discipline as well as by professionals and top divers from all over the world. 

It involves diving underwater while voluntarily holding your breath. The places where free diving can be practiced are very diverse and unusual. Specialists suggest free-diving by emphasizing its great health benefits both in the short and long term. 

These benefits are based on wellness, self-awareness, avoidance methods, and breathing control, among others.
