How to Take Free Dive Lessons
Even if you are an accomplished swimmer or a diver, it is still recommended that you take free diving lessons before attempting any deep breath dives. You are advised not to attempt deep diving on your first try as you will be putting your life at risk. Another factor which needs to be remembered is that you should never, under any circumstances, free dive alone. While diving may seem easy on television, it isn’t the case, as this is something dangerous which requires your attention and could be fatal if precautions are not taken.
