Freedive Moalboal | Reached 14.5m deep for our Line Dive

One of our activities during Kim's birthday get away last month was Line Diving. Well, I just thought why not? since we have both done our basic courses and with been freediving for awhile now, then why not practice line diving? Seems easy to say but on the actual day when this happen, it was for me difficult.

Line Dive is a way to measure a freediver's efficiency by measuring the depth one can reach underwater. It can be done with fins or no fins and uses a line system.

To be honest, I was struggling on the first few try. Freediving head down first was hard. Equalization was hard. I don't know maybe because I was way overthinking it. I would then get discouraged after seeing @ybanezkim26 doing it so effortlessly. 😒 (See his version here). Well, I finally followed his method and it got easy. 😜 And just like that, I gradually was able to reach to 10m (beyond that I closed my eyes) until I reached 14.5m.

It was a challenging experience and would definitely require more training. Well, perhaps in the future! As for now, I do want to enjoy freediving as a recreational activity and not as a competitive sport. But I still have plans on being able to reach 20m deep. Wish me luck on my next line dive training! As always, shout out to our ultimate diving guide @sabanalchristian.

It is a whole different universe underwater which we want to share to you in our Freediving Community. A community where we could bring in other Freedivers around the world to join Hive, connect and share knowledge, stories, photos and videos about our passion in Freediving.
