Some disciplines of free diving:
* Static apnea is a competition discipline which is just what it's name implies. Holding ones breath for as long as possible under water motionless ( the world record is over 10 minutes).
* Constant Weight Involves swimming vertically down a shot line to achieve a maximum depth and returning to to surface with the same amount of Weight that one has used to get down.
* Free immersion is similar but no fins are allowed.
* NO LIMITS is perhaps the most spectacular. Fans of the Movie the Big Blue will be familiar with the images of breath hold divers plummeting into the depths hanging on to a metal sledge The world record currently stands at over 150 meters!!
* Dynamic apnea is a horizontal distance attempt.
