Everything you need to know about freediving: Freediving, or apnea diving, is the most original form of diving. It combines physical challenge with fantastic nature experiences, allowing the diver to truly become one with the water and surroundings. For those who want to learn freediving and dive into the underwater world with just a snorkel, fins, and wetsuit, Dagmar Andres-Brümmer provides the ideal guide in this book. The focus is not on the pursuit of new diving records, but on the meaningful enhancement of one's fitness and mobility in and under the water.

The 6th fully revised edition of the standard work for freedivers includes new, up-to-date photos and illustrations. What is freediving? Basics and prerequisites for diving without scuba gear.
