Freediving For Beginners Philippines

[@Vicnep]

Great vlog! Thanks for the recommendation for the training!

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Hi Victor! Glad to know you enjoyed this video. Here are the contacts for the freediving place: Blue Freedom Apnea - Freediving Club facebook.com/bluefreedomapnea [phone] [e-mail]

[@axlemoo]

As a teen who has always felt a connection with the sea, I need to enter this course! I live at Laguna but if my mom allows us to go to Bohol this would be a no brainer for me 😄 Thank you for sharing this amazing vlog!

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Aww thats nice! Though Laguna is beautiful too and my next vlog will be in Laguna hehe. Bohol is great, I hope you get to visit and free dive :)

[@carolinejoanne5774]

I think the reason why I love snorkeling so much is that it forces me to breathe in a way where I have to be relaxed. I trying to increase my skill set to include free diving . Love your comment at the end about relaxing meditating ….always feel great after snorkeling as it is kinda meditative

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

It is indeed! Living in the city I always need to remind myself to slow down. And just putting my head underwater in the swimming and applying the free diving technique really makes me feel like I’ve done a meditation session.

[@suziefreedives]

I have to work on my equalization and breathing technique.. Thanks for this video!

[@natashajade_v]

Cool!! I learned a lot. I actually did free diving lessons too back in the PH. Took awhile for me to get used to the contractions 😂 using fins also makes it easier to go down I think!

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

I do remember that! It was a diving pool somewhere in Manila! Well, just try to remember the basics before you get back here and let's go freediving :) :)

[@dudongbonel4965]

Dive with me. So I can film you and put in my channel

[@karz265]

Amazing! I will visit bohol next year for a month and will definitely try this. 🥰

[@marlietocmo223]

OMG! I was just inquiring about freediving lessons at Blue Freedom Apnea just few hours ago and then i saw this vid of yours. This might be the sign to push it! Wish me luck hehehe

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

If you need a sign, this is it! Hahah. I’m sure you will have a great experience!

[@ke72499]

Wow! im from bohol i used to live in tagbilaran city, i hope i can get back there soon!

[@manilenyasaisla]

Happy to see them still open and in service! The only freediving training center here in El Nido has already closed due to the never-ending pandemic. 😕 Sayang ‘cos this place is also perfect too for skindiving. The rescue part is not usually covered by other trainings, ha. Thanks for including that in your vid!

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Oh no! I've never tried it in El Nido but that sounds sad! I do hope this pandemic ends or at least an improvement on the threats of the virus because its so sad seeing places like dive shops close down due to lack of customers. And thats nice to know that Blue Freedom has the safety included. I think its important for any type of training :)

Great blog! it interest me more.. ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Thank you Erich!

[@osmondromain4277]

Beautiful freediver ❤🤿

[@daisuke_xx4822]

the same thing goes for me! when i go feet down first, equalizing was easy. but when i do it head down first, it was painful for me to equalize, which prevents me from going deeper.

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Apparently all we need to do is to dive more frequently.. Which I guess, if you're based in the city like me, would be hard to do :)

Great! 🎉❤ Congrats

[@tv-en8vm]

May I know the location of the training center? On Google Maps I can't find a swimming pool

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Hello, that might be their office or the starting point for the ocean dives that you are looking at. The diving center is called Freedive Panglao. Check if this link works for you: maps.app.goo.gl/i3E4HXvrHSsT7wSL9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[@joaw1086]

Was in the same resort you were in just a couple of weeks ago. T'was hella cheap for a really nice place. The Spanish owners were very nice too.

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Right?? It was pretty good! My only complaint is the walls are very thin.. if your neighbors snore you can hear it right through despite it being a villa.

[@joaw1086]

@@TheTravellingFoxes yeah! I think it had something to do with how the roof was designed. We only realized that when we heard the other guests beside our room doing some dirty stuff. Their noises were subtle but you could definitely hear them 😂

[@GrapesPacara]

Would you like to visit the south of Philippines? we have wonderful beaches here too. Try searching "balut island" :)

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Hi Grapes! Ill be in Davao for Mt Apo this month.. I honestly haven't visited the south beaches yet!! Definitely in my bucket list :)

[@purebloodnovacks8779]

Sooo floating to the middle of a lake on a blow up raft with nobody around, and no gear isn't the proper way to do it? Wish I would've known this before I took my first 135 foot free dive, I almost died lol 🤷‍♂️

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Haha oh gosh! Sounds dangerous! I actually had a few nightmares after training; I somehow hold my breath while I sleep for no reason 🤣

[@purebloodnovacks8779]

@@TheTravellingFoxes yikes, are you sure it's not sleep apnea? I used to suffer from that, I have a crazy story about that too.

Well glad your alive and well. Freediving is a Dangerous sport and can take some peoples lives if they don’t know what they are doing. Always remember…NEVER DIVE ALONE.

how much does it cost? and is it per session? also, great video! very informative

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

I can’t remember if it was 1,800 or 1,900 for the pool session + open water package with certificate of attendance. Thank you for checking out this video! :)

[@AkilezNewEngland]

I use the Badjao breathing it's much better for me. I learned freediving with Badjao in 1970s in Cebu City and Freediving was not even popular or a house hold name. Try the Badjao Breathing it won't hurt. Dive Safe!

[@AkilezNewEngland]

By the way use a Dive Weight bean bag type not the lead just one 1 pound or 2 pounds so you can dive better it equalize your weight.

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Oh nice! I grew up by the sea in Cebu (Talisay) that’s why I also do what the fishermen used to do.. this is my first formal training with freediving. I’ll read more about the Badjao style, thanks for letting me know :)

[@AkilezNewEngland]

@@TheTravellingFoxes FYI: It's a different breathing technic, totally different in Freediving school. Especially We have small spleens. By they way, We used to live in Cogon, Pardo and. Talisay beach. we used to go there with my family. Take Care po. Ingat eha.

Can a aged 72 retire guy learn freediving.

Hi Ding, it should be okay if you have no lung or breathing problems. Best to consult with your doctor but it’s pretty achievable for anyone.

[@maybandong8188]

I don't know how to swim , can I still learn freediving?

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Hi May, you don’t need to know how to swim per se, but you need to be comfortable in the water. Your body suit makes you float, you need to learn how to kick with fins, and the swimming will follow.

[@lannyverse]

May I know, Where did you stay?

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

It’s called SAMADHI Resort & Spa :)

[@milkteaminie2027]

I can't hold my breath that long, though I can equalize well. I easily run out of air if I swim down or pull myself down the line. Maybe you can share some tips for me so I can hold my breath longer and be able to go deeper towards the sea floor?

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Im no professional but based on my personal experience, cardio and breathing yoga exercises really help. You can carry more oxygen in your cells through training and that can help you not feel nauseous as quickly. Before doing it in the water, just hold your breath while sitting somewhere and time yourself. Get yourself used to it and try to make a goal like for example, 1 min.

[@19dropdeadgorgeous]

Not sure if anybody will answer, but preferrably the more experienced ones. I would be trying skindiving with friends in a few weeks, I am currently 13wks pregnant. Unfortunately, after my 1st ultrasound it was shown i have a low lying placenta (high risk for bleeding/miscarriage) so I am to avoid any strenous activity especially ones with pelvic pressure. Question is, will this activity still be okay or I shouldn't go with it for now? (Of course, I know it should be better to not go at all considering the "risk", but is there a risk at all????) Just wanted more opinion on it, waiting for my OB's advise. Thing is, I've already paid everything (and i was really looki forward to this) so just wanted to weigh in options. Of course, my end priority is my baby. Sorry for the long post! Thanks in advance! 😂

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. Hahaha. Jk. Regarding pregnancy, I really can’t answer this for you. If you have been constantly active, normally the doctor will tell you to continue your lifestyle. But if this is something new that may cause stress, best to wait for your gyna’s advice because you are still putting your body under stress especially when breath holding.
