Free-diving...
...Most people don't do it...That is, they don't dive for free, and they have never really learned how to free-dive.
You float on the surface, breathing deep and slowly, watching the bottom 40 feet below you...In tune with your body, you begin to slow your hear rate down....100...90...80..70...65...55 beats per minute....
With a last completely full breath, you jackknife, your feet rise up out of the water and their weight above its surface begins to thrust your body downward.
You take big, almost stiff-legged kicks, very slow frequency, but with large amplitude. You almost try to sleep your way down to the bottom, staying as relaxed as possible, exerting the minimum amount possible.
William Trubridge breaks the freediving world record without fins with a dive to 288 feet in 3:30 in Dean's Blue Hole, Bahamas.
