Freediving is a diving sport, a sport that challenges extremes; Scuba diving is a mass sport that combines swimming and diving. From an exercise perspective, freediving focuses on holding your breath and exerting force on your legs to swim; mermaid is to shape the mermaid line, exerting force on the waist, abdomen and buttocks, and the weight loss effect is obvious. Freediving is practiced primarily in deep water, particularly at sea. Appreciation of the underwater landscape requires a basic foundation in swimming; Basic mermaid sports are learned in swimming, and after passing the technical level to become an ocean mermaid, you don't need any basic sports. .
Artistic vs technical. Both “mermaid” and freediving require swimming, but the learning goal is different. Mermaid combines synchro swimmingonised, yoga and freediving. The learning process emphasizes the coordination of arm strength, abdomen, waist and buttocks, and combined with the long tail covered with fish scales, the image is extremely artistic and attractive.
Free diving is a kind of extreme sport. Compared to mermaids, freediving has higher swimming requirements. Mermaids typically travel to a depth of around 5 meters in the sea, while freediving requirements are two stars. are At a depth of 16 meters, in addition to the higher requirements for swimming and physical fitness, the difficulty of free diving also includes techniques such as left ear pressure balance, relaxation and apnea.
Express yourself rather than perform. The purpose of learning “Mermaid” is to convey the pursuit of “health” and “art” through adisplay of body and physique. Boldly trying various creative forms in the ocean is a challenge to the artistic creativity and physical expression of the "mermaid".
Free diving is a sport that belongs to you. From diving to ascent, you can practice it yourself every time you inhale and exhale. In the depths of the sea, sea water tightly surrounds the body. You can let your thoughts wander, feel the blood flow in the body and the relaxation of every cell, you will feel great satisfaction and joy. It does not come from others, but from self-realization and self-recognition.
Entertainment type versus self-abuse type. The process of learning "Mermaid" is simple and interesting. Most clubs' ocean mermaid courses last 2 days (our course lasts 2.5 days). It includes theoretical lessons, static apnea, bodybuilding exercises,mermaid techniques, kicking exercises, etc. There are usually two pool training sessions and two sea training sessions. Learning is not difficult. As long as you can swim, like the ocean, and like beauty, you can also become a charming "mermaid".
The process of learning to freedive is relatively self-inflicted and requires a certain test of physical, psychological and spiritual strength. The regular two-star AIDA course lasts 2-3 days (the new human two-star freediving course). -the star course lasts three days). You must pass theoretical exams, static apnea for 2 minutes, dynamic swimming of 40 meters with apnea, constant weight diving to a depth of 16 meters, rescue and other skills. Every day's tasks are different and the difficulty is different. The success of the evaluation depends on the perseverance and prior preparation of the students.ts.
Freediving has many advantages.
The first is that it is very fun and you can navigate freely in the water. The fish are really not afraid of you, and will even take the initiative to approach you . If there are no bubbles, the fish will not be chased. You will be able to cross the fish and you will feel like one curious seal among one. a bunch of stupid fish. You can even board a sunken ship and flirt with scuba diving. I have never encountered a very large sea animal, but my original intention in learning to free dive was to get close to whale sharks, humpback whales, sperm whales, blue whales and other giant, fearful sea animals. noise.
The second thing is that it's very comfortable. In freediving, as soon as you enter the water, everything is so comfortable and quiet. This should be the function of the diving reflex. Not so bnoisier than diving. Although it is uncomfortable to go deep, but if you go more than ten or twenty meters, it is still very comfortable and relaxing to play, and it will not be uncomfortable. And isn’t this depth the best for scuba diving? That said, I still think scuba diving is more relaxing, especially if you want to take a few photos sometimes.
The third is to understand the mechanism of the human body and live a healthier life. Many people also say that freediving is a sport that requires constant understanding of your own body. In fact, breathing in preparation for freediving is itself a way to relax the body and mind. When there are times of worry and anxiety, these breathing methods can quickly relieve physical and mental stress, right? , it’s yoga. . . . Freedivers will therefore practice yoga. Then, whenAs you practice holding your breath, you will learn to activate your diving reflex as quickly as possible, which will put you in a state where you appear to be asleep. So I changed it now, lying on the bed, activating the diving reflex, and it seemed like I was about to fall asleep, so go to sleep. Falling asleep is therefore very quick. Freediving can help you lose weight, but it also depends on your individual physique. Because it is best not to eat before freediving. You will lose weight if you swim in water when you are hungry. Not only did I lose weight in a few days, but my stomach looked smaller, so I was able to lose weight for a while.
Fourth, taking photos is beautiful, but I usually take photos of others, which is really the biggest tragedy for photographers. Additionally, if you want to look great,you also need to be fit, so every evening before diving you only have fruit. But most Asians have short legs and small chests, so there is no solution. I can't get the same effect as European and American girls underwater.
