help Freediving Free Immersion FAQ
What is freediving free immersion?
In free immersion, a diver descends and ascends by pulling along a dive rope without using fins. The discipline measures breath-hold control, equalization, technique, and efficient movement.
Does free immersion use fins?
No. Free immersion is specifically performed without fins, with the diver pulling on the rope for both the descent and the return to the surface.
How is free immersion different from constant-weight freediving?
Constant-weight disciplines rely on the diver's fins or monofin to travel along the line, while free immersion uses arm pulls on the rope. Both require breath-hold skills, but free immersion places more emphasis on rope technique and controlled pulling.
Which organizations recognize free immersion?
Free immersion is practiced in competitive freediving under organizations such as AIDA International and CMAS. Training should include supervised depth progression, rescue skills, and careful attention to blackout risk.
