Students are having their first dry static apnea. During your basic freediving course first of all you will spend some time in the classroom to get proper knowledge about breathing process and breath-holding, to learn and to practice proper relaxation phase before the dive and recovery breathing after the dive. At the end of that session you will practice few dry breath-holds to put all your new skills together and to be better prepared to further static apnea in the pool. #freediving #freedive #freedivers #learnfreediving #freedivingschool #freediveschool #freedivingcourses #freedivecourses #freedivinginstructor #freediveinstructor #freedivebali #freedivingbali #freediveindonesia #freedivingindonesia #molchanovs #molchanovsfreediving #myssi #divessi #iamssi (at Nusa Penida / Penida Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGm-5cVh-Ct/?igshid=wpfrfeejto1b

What is the difference between Freediving and Scuba Diving? ⠀ Freediving, as the name suggests, is diving with complete freedom. A properly trained freediver can ascend and descend as quickly as they like since there are no restrictions. In freediving, all you really need is a mask, fins, and a single breath for you to go anytime, anywhere, underwater. ⠀ On the other hand, scuba has a lot of complex theory and equipment elements you must know about before you can enjoy it. In scuba diving, you must follow a rigorous schedule to go up and down due to the heavy tank you are restricted in how fast you can move and where you can go. But definitely you can stay longer under the water while exploring the underwater world and at the same time you need less physical requirements. ⠀ So, freediving teaches you mostly how to operate and control your body under the water while holding your breath. Scuba diving teaches you how to use SCUBA equipment and breath under water safely. ⠀ This is the main difference between the two. ⠀ We like this comparison: freediving is driving the bicycle, scuba diving is driving the car. ⠀ What choice do you make: a bicycle or a car? ⠀ #freediving #freedivingschool #freedivinginstructor #freedivingcourse #learnfreediving #freediveindonesia #freedivingindonesia #freedivebali #freedivingbali #iamssiindonesia #freediveschool #freediveinstructor #freedivecourse #freedivingcourses #freedivecourses #ssifreediving #iamssi #molchanovs #molchanovsfreediving (at Nusa Penida / Penida Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDvx_-VB0D8/?igshid=1tw1bexf019wp

What’s the difference between snorkeling and freediving? ⠀ Although recreational freediving and snorkeling are very similar, there are some differences between these two activities. Snorkeling is the act of floating on the surface while using a mask to see underwater, and having a snorkel to breathe while keeping one’s face submerged. ⠀ Freediving is allowing you to dive deep under the water and interact with the environment and not just staring at it from the surface. With freediving, you will learn advanced breathing techniques, and you will learn to move efficiently underwater through the use of efficient equipment. ⠀ Freediving will give you much more freedom and excitement while exploring underwater world! ⠀ #freediving #freedivingschool #freedivinginstructor #freedivingcourse #learnfreediving #freediveindonesia #freedivingindonesia #freedivebali #freedivingbali #iamssiindonesia #freediveschool #freediveinstructor #freedivecourse #freedivingcourses #freedivecourses #ssifreediving #iamssi #molchanovs #molchanovsfreediving (at Nusa Penida / Penida Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDqoXXBhhKT/?igshid=160wnfbzmqkbl

Is there a need for a diving or snorkeling experience to participate a freediving course? ⠀ Of course, it can be beneficial but you do not have to. Freediving is an activity for anyone even if you have never dived before. It’s our pleasure if you could spend your first time freediving experience and discover underwater freedom with us. ⠀ #freediving #freedivingschool #freedivinginstructor #freedivingcourse #learnfreediving #freediveindonesia #freedivingindonesia #freedivebali #freedivingbali #iamssiindonesia #freediveschool #freediveinstructor #freedivecourse #freedivingcourses #freedivecourses #ssifreediving #iamssi #molchanovs #molchanovsfreediving (at Nusa Penida / Penida Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8SChOhv8C/?igshid=1bsagtoo022xw

How should I go about selecting a freedive course? ⠀ The best way is to start is with Basic Freediving Course - SSI Level 1 or Molchanovs Wave 1. These are 2 or 2,5 day courses and the perfect first step into world of freediving. ⠀ If it is too long for your first experience, you can also start with a half-day Try Freediving course which we usually called as "Advanced Snorkeling". ⠀ If you want to know more about the different options and what is possible, please feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to assist you. ⠀ #freediving #freedivingschool #freedivinginstructor #freedivingcourse #learnfreediving #freediveindonesia #freedivingindonesia #freedivebali #freedivingbali #iamssiindonesia #freediveschool #freediveinstructor #freedivecourse #freedivingcourses #freedivecourses #ssifreediving #iamssi #molchanovs #molchanovsfreediving (at Nusa Penida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTKcixBp1i/?igshid=19nfdan2jfm6q

The main responsibilities of a buddy are to provide safety and assess the physical condition of a freediver during their dive and after they have surfaced. ⠀ Ensure the safety of your buddy by adhering to the following guidelines: ⠀ - Agree the depth and estimated dive time with your buddy prior to their freedive ⠀ - Agree at what depth you will meet to return together to the surface. The meeting point should be at a minimum one third of the target depth of your buddy. This helps you to start your freedive at the right time and avoids putting yourself at risk. ⠀ - For example, your buddy estimates it will take one minute to complete a 30 meters freedive. You estimate it will take you ten seconds to descend 10 meters to one third of the target depth, and ten seconds to ascend again to the surface. Add a small extra margin of five seconds to this. You will therefore begin your freedive at 35 seconds, meet your buddy at 10 meters at 45-50 seconds and ascend to the surface together, completing the dive in one minute. ⠀ - Meet your buddy at the agreed meeting point. There is no need to signal OK to each other when you meet as this requires extra energy and consumes more oxygen. ⠀ - Complete the ascent close to each other and to the dive line. Do this by swimming face-to-face, about one arms length away from the dive line, keeping the line positioned between you. Pay special attention to the eyes of your buddy as they ascend. If their focus changes this is a strong warning sign. ⠀ - After surfacing, continue to keep a close eye on your buddy for approximately twenty seconds, while performing correct recovery breathing yourself and monitor if your buddy is doing so as well. A blackout or LMC may still occur after surfacing. ⠀ - If the hypoxic load of your buddy appears too high, for example, they have blue lips, tell them. Your buddy should reduce their load and freedive more conservatively on their following dives. ⠀ #freediving #freedivingschool #freedivingcourse #learnfreediving #freediveindonesia #freedivingindonesia #freedivebali #freedivingbali #freediveschool #freediveinstructor #freedivecourse #freedivingcourses #freedivecourses #iamssi #molchanovsfreediving (at Nusa Penida / Penida Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0Ly-Chh91/?igshid=18asloih5jc72

Hyperventilation means breathing in excess of the demands of your body, that is breathing in and out more than you require. This results in a decrease of carbon dioxide in your blood. Your oxygen saturation remains unaffected. This decrease delays the stimulation of your respiratory center and therefore you do not feel a strong urge to breathe, even if your oxygen concentration drops below a critical level. This is because your respiratory system is far more sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide concentration than it is to oxygen. ⠀ A decrease in carbon dioxide concentration in your blood also leads to an increase in alkalization, that is an increase in your blood pH. This in turn increases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen (hemoglobin binds more tightly with oxygen) and hinders oxygen supply to your body tissues. This is part of the Bohr Effect which states that the oxygen binding affinity of hemoglobin is inversely related both to acidity and to the concentration of carbon dioxide. ⠀ Symptoms of hyperventilation include dizziness, and tingling in your fingers and other extremities. ⠀ Remember: Focus on physical and mental relaxation such as visualization before your freedive and avoid any breath manipulation. Take one full breath before you begin your descent. ⠀ #freediving #freedivingschool #freedivinginstructor #freedivingcourse #learnfreediving #freediveindonesia #freedivingindonesia #freedivebali #freedivingbali #iamssiindonesia #freediveschool #freediveinstructor #freedivecourse #freedivingcourses #freedivecourses #ssifreediving #iamssi #molchanovs #molchanovsfreediving (at Nusa Penida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQIqxghxZ1/?igshid=1uog7cdmp7lns

The oceans are a vast, dynamic and integral part of our world. Surprisingly, it has only been in this last century that we have begun to learn about the importance of our oceans. And, even with our modern technology and engineering capabilities, we have only explored roughly 5% of the world's oceans. ⠀ Given the enormity and complexity of the oceans, it takes many experts across many different fields to build our web of knowledge. Marine ecology is a broad and exciting field that captures our attention and curiosity. ⠀ Are you interested to learn more about marine ecology and underwater environment? ⠀ SSI offers for divers great specialty course Marine Ecology.
