Freefall Tutorial: How to Hold The Rope WITHOUT Loosing Dive Time Or Stability

In this video I show you how to do your freefalls with your eyes closed by holding the rope in the correct position.
I cover the 2 most common mistakes while holding the rope which lead to increased dive times or trouble staying balanced, and show you how to position yourself to avoid these problems.

Good stuff Nathan. I am not a habitual rope holder but have had some great dives but passing the rope starting from the little fingers and passing through to the forefinger and thumb. Also good I find

Hey nathan ! What about the most effective /safe turn with this kind of freefall (?

[@trainfreediving2772]

Hi Sophie, Sorry for the delayed reply. The way that I turn is actually just to let my hand hit the stopper/ ball. In this position, the outcome is that the catching hand is near your hip, and you face/other hand are right beside the bottom-plate, making finding/seeing/grabbing the tag (in comp) really easy and straight forward. Since you have speed/momentum in the freefall,, just catching the ball will swing you around. So you don''t actually have to pull or use your body to make the turn, making this really effective and smooth.
