Freediving apnea training

Also known as: Apnea training, Static apnea

Structured breath-hold training from freediving, such as static holds and CO₂ or O₂ tables. Breath holds can cause a blackout without warning, so it is practised on land only, or in water solely with a trained buddy and proper instruction. It prepares for freediving and is not a relaxation tool.
