FREEDIVING OR APNEA

"The body vanishes while the soul takes over life". This is how sensations felt by divers have been described when descending to the deep blue while pushing their bodies and concentration beyond the limit. Today, free diving includes adventure, control and passion for the sea more than ever. This sport is based mainly on the mental relaxation of the diver, good nutrition and hydration, the development of the diving reflex of mammals, training, and tolerance to high CO2 levels.

In Venezuela, free diving is possible year round in Chichiriviche de la Costa in Vargas state, Morrocoy National Park in Falcon State, and Mochima National Park in Anzoategui and Sucre state, as well as in Los Roques, archipelago and the coast of Miranda State.
