Hydrate thoroughly before dives
Proper hydration helps optimize breath-hold capacity and reduces cramping risks during freediving sessions.
Use equalization techniques early and often
Effective equalization prevents discomfort and assists in safe descents to greater depths.
Practice slow, controlled breathing
Focus on calm, deliberate breaths to manage oxygen use and improve dive duration.
Never dive alone
Always have a trained buddy or instructor present for safety during all freediving activities.
Freediving wetsuit
Provides thermal protection and streamlines movement during dives in Jervis Bay waters.
Freediving fins
Long, flexible fins optimize propulsion and reduce energy expenditure during descent and ascent.
Mask and snorkel
Clear vision and easy surface breathing are critical for safety and orientation underwater.
Weight belt
Allows fine-tuning buoyancy for controlled dives and prolonged underwater time.
