Download or read book FREEDIVING-THE GD FOR THE 1ST written by MR Yannis Detorakis and published by Fylatos Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Complete Manual for the 1st Level of Free Diving. An excerpt from the foreword of the book: The idea for the book gave birth to many treasures, but the moment had matured for all this practical experience -having by now personally taught hundreds of freedivers how to freedive to 10, 20 and 30 meters- to finally turn into a written guide on the technique of freediving. If I felt as if I was missing something twenty years ago, by now I possessed it in abundance: it was the actual experience in the water with newcomers, people who did not even know what a wetsuit was, and in the span of one week to enable them to comfortably dive to 10 meters, while even commenting afterwards on how easy freediving was! Yet freediving is of course far from easy. The satisfaction, however, of hearing them say it, is huge; when you have designed the training program and when you had been the trainer who managed to transform a person that until the previous day had not even once equalised pressure in his life, into an excellent freediver! As priceless is also the moment, familiar to every instructor, when your student succeeds on conquering a particular depth for the first time and surfaces with a genuine smile of deep joy and satisfaction on his accomplishment. This is ultimately the goal of this book: to accompany the new freediver into the sea and to help him, step by step, in building an excellent technique and achieving new goals in freediving, all the while giving him a smile of success! A book cannot of course replace training or an entire dive learning program. Today, however, our era might offer great training programs and excellent trainers, but no remarkable books - comprehensive technique guides - and I trust -as a writer- that this void will be filled today, with the publication of a unique book for the new freediver.

Download or read book Freediving - The Guide for the First 10 Meters written by Yannis Detorakis and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a complete guide, a manual for the 1st Level of freediving technique. The writer uses his thirty years of experience as an instructor and designer of freediving courses, but most of all, the 15 years during which he has certified more than 1.000 free divers in the 3 levels of diver training, and describes a step by step method for reaching the first 10 meters in freediving. The chapters of the book literally follow the new freediver through the series of steps he must take, from dressing up and entering the water, to his surface swimming and the adaptation of his senses inside the water, as well as all the buoyancy adjustments he will have to make at the surface and before each dive. The book presents the freedive as a nicely structured, logical chain of skills that are explained and presented through a large number of impressive underwater photos of actual diver training. Even the possible mistakes in performing the dive skills are analyzed and explained. The descent to the seabed covers the greater part of the book, and everything is presented in a step by step movement or skill, while the reader quickly finds himself participating in the dive and trying to make the right moves! Every step is explained in detail; for example, the methods of equalizing the ears and the different techniques in order to learn how to equalize and avoid a blocked ear. The ascent phase of the freedive is described in similar detail and presented through many actual training photos. The book covers the use of the buddy system in freediving, presenting the methods used for providing safety and communicating underwater. The methods of planning a freedive are analyzed in detail, both for the diver and for the buddy monitoring the dive. The organization of a day's series of freedives is also presented, as a diver will have to learn how to create a daily plan of his different dives. The dangerous incidents in freediving are considered problems that block or delay the ascent, while rescue techniques and safety measures are also described. Dangerous situations, that every freediver should know how to avoid and how to handle as a rescuer, are covered in detail in the final chapter. As the writer says: "A book cannot of course replace training or an entire dive learning program. Today, however, our era might offer great training programs and excellent instructors, but no remarkable books - comprehensive technique guides. So the mission of this book is to accompany the new freediver into the sea and to help him, step by step, in building an excellent technique and achieving new goals in freediving, like his best trainer and dive buddy!
Book Synopsis Freediving - the Story of Stathis Hatzis by : Yannis Detorakis
Download or read book Freediving - the Story of Stathis Hatzis written by Yannis Detorakis and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stathis G. Hatzis was the head diver among Symi's and the Dodecanese's hundreds of free divers - sponge divers in the early 20th century. In 1913, he dived to a depth of 88 meters, for 4 minutes, in his attempt to locate and tie the anchor of the Italian battleship Regina Margherita which had been lost on the ocean floor. The book is the biography of Stathis Hatzis and follows Stathi in his three day adventure to find and secure the lost anchor, making a total of 16 record free dives from 50 to 88 meters depth. Stathis Hatzis' unique accomplishment was representative of the incredible abilities of this humble sponge diver, as well as his generation's, the last free divers - sponge divers, diving with the kampanelopetra, who disappeared along with a unique in the world tradition, which had endured uninterrupted until then, since the depths of antiquity. In the pages of this book, the adventures and legendary dives of Stathis Hatzis become the reason to chronicle the entire history of free diving in Greece, from its origins in ancient times to the late 20th century. Rare photos and documents reveal the achievements of an island population consisting of thousands of free divers and their families, who, with Symi and the Dodecanese as an epicentre, achieved greatness in the Aegean for centuries, thanks to the precious sponges gathered from the depths of the Mediterranean and traded in the markets of Europe and America.
Download or read book Freediving written by Kimmo Lahtinen and published by Deep Ideas Oy. This book was released on 2015-04-26 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freediving is diving without a breathing apparatus. In many languages, freediving is referred to as apnea(breath-holding) or apnea diving. Freediving was still a relatively unknown sport around the turn of the millennium, but as organized freediving has increased, knowledge of the sport has also grown rapidly. At the same time, certain risks associated with the sport have been recognized. However, when performed correctly, freediving is safe and rewarding. Spreading correct information and promoting safe practices among the general public has become an important point of focus for the core group in the freediving community. Unlike scuba diving, freediving is something almost anyone can take up. All that is needed is some basic equipment and a place to dive. Some may feel that freediving is easy and that taking lessons is unnecessary. While leisurely snorkeling is usually quite safe and easy, adding the elements of increased performance and evaluation into the mix will inevitably introduce some risks. Adequate knowledge combined with good skills helps in controlling these risks. This book is intended to be a basic guide to freediving. Even the experienced diver will find new perspectives and good tips in this book, while the beginner will gain a solid understanding of the basics. Our effort has been to present matters in a neutral, intelligible and personal way, and it is our hope that the practice of safe freediving will spread far and wide.

Book excerpt: "Freediving - The Physiology" is a complete guide for the three levels of freediver training, the three levels of instructor training, and for the instructor trainer. The book works as a manual for everyone, introducing all readers to the greatest secrets of the human body's responses to freediving, from the new freediver to the doctors who look to expand their knowledge in freediving. A new freediver will find chapters on ear equalization, the diving reflex, the mechanism of apnea, the factors of breath-hold, the danger of shallow water blackout, advice on a special diet before and during the freediving day, and many more interesting subjects for a beginner in freediving. Experienced freedivers will enhance their knowledge of deep freediving, safety rules and rescue techniques, through subjects including the human diving responses, specialized advice on deep freediving lung equalization, advanced ear equalization methods, special factors and methods for increased apnea duration, safety rules on avoiding hyperventilation and a hypoxic state (hypoxia - blackout or LMC - loss of motor control), the rescue methods for the hypoxic diver, advice on thermal problems and hypothermia, a chapter about special diet methods for increased performances in freediving, as well as an abundance of knowledge crucial for expanding their performance underwater and correcting possible mistakes. Deep freedivers, instructors and doctors will all find everything there is to know about freediving physiology in this book! Extreme freediving has its place in every chapter of the book, covering aspects of great wonder and mystery to be researched, such as methods in reducing the brain's oxygen consumption during apnea, lung equalization and the diving reflex at great depths, gas narcosis in deep freediving, freediving decompression sickness, lung packing dangers and others.

Download or read book Freediving written by Yannis Detorakis and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freediving equipment consists of decades-long knowledge, great scientific discoveries and 21st century state-of-the-art technology. Concentrated in a gear bag, freediving equipment comprises just a few items which the freediver must wear, with each item intended to augment his physical abilities to a much higher level. Understanding the characteristics and operation of each part of the freediving equipment is crucial for freedivers, and their progress in freediving technique largely depends on it. A second, vital rule in the selection of freediving equipment, is that it must individually fit the needs of the particular diver, and its selection must be based on every diver's personal needs. Even today, this remains the greatest difficulty when selecting equipment: it still is a piece of clothing, which must individually fit its owner's body, while at the same time offering all functional elements required by the diver. So, in our discussion on equipment, we rely on two principles: First, there is no ideal freediving equipment for all divers in general, but there is ideal equipment for each diver and each desired type of freediving. Second, even the best personal equipment, in terms of design and quality, will be rated as to its functionality by what we eventually do in the water! This book aspires to aid in this effort, i.e. teaching freedivers how to select and evaluate the equipment before purchasing it, and then rating it and classifying it in the water. Even today, the appropriate knowledge is still the most precious gift when choosing freediving equipment, because, even in our time of abundance, the selection of suitable equipment for an activity as specialized as freediving remains a science in itself! The book follows a specific method to solve the "equipment problem" for every diver at any level of experience: 1.It describes the materials and the designing principals for each item of the equipment. 2.It describes the requirements in functioning underwater. 3.It names "the rules of the game" in selecting every item of the freediving equipment by writing down the different requirements of every level of training from each item and the possible personal requirements a specific diver could add to fit his personal needs. Selecting the freediving equipment should be an interesting and enjoyable experience, both at the stores and in the water, and this is the goal of this guide: to help all levels of freedivers discover new ways to choose, test and grade their equipment and make their personal, high performance and complete freediving gear!

"This is by far the most well rounded free diving book I've ever read. I practiced for many years and then took some time off. I was realy looking for a refresher course prior to a long overdue abalone dive. I really thought I knew it all from having so many years under my belt; I was wrong. I didn't know how much I still had to learn. I practiced the excercises in the book for about a week before my dive. I was nearly where I left off from my last dive years prior and within a month I plan to be on my A-game. Thanks to the author for providing such a detailed guide, it's opened up a whole new perspective on the sport that I grew up with! " - GrumpysGifts (USA) "This guide is one of the best written and detailed books on diving out there.For my personally holding my breath underwater was as hard as actual swimming so when I saw that there is a full chapter on how to master it, I knew I have to take this book. All the other tutorials and safety measures are well written so I am sure it will save a lot of lives.I recommend this book to anyone passioned about freediving. Five star for me !" - Vlad Buculei (Brno, Czech Republic)

Download or read book One Breath written by Adam Skolnick and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Breath is a gripping and powerful exploration of the strange and fascinating sport of freediving, and of the tragic, untimely death of America’s greatest freediver Competitive freediving—a sport built on diving as deep as possible on a single breath—tests the limits of human ability in the most hostile environment on earth. The unique and eclectic breed of individuals who freedive at the highest level regularly dive hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface, reaching such depths that their organs compress, light disappears, and one mistake could kill them. Even among freedivers, few have ever gone as deep as Nicholas Mevoli. A handsome young American with an unmatched talent for the sport, Nick was among freediving’s brightest stars. He was also an extraordinary individual, one who rebelled against the vapid and commoditized society around him by relentlessly questing for something more meaningful and authentic, whatever the risks. So when Nick Mevoli arrived at Vertical Blue in 2013, the world’s premier freediving competition, he was widely expected to challenge records and continue his meteoric rise to stardom. Instead, before the end of that fateful competition Nick Mevoli had died, a victim of the sport that had made him a star, and the very future of free diving was called into question. With unparalleled access and masterfully crafted prose, One Breath tells his unforgettable story, and of the sport which shaped and ultimately destroyed him.
