WHAT DOES FREEDIVING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Freediving

Freediving is a form of underwater diving that relies on a diver's ability to hold his or her breath until resurfacing rather than on the use of a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear. Examples include breath-hold spear fishing, freedive photography, recreational breath-hold diving, apnea competitions, freediving short sections of underwater passages when caving, and to some degree, snorkeling. The activity that garners the most public attention is the extreme sport of competitive apnea in which competitors attempt to attain great depths, times, or distances on a single breath.

Definition of freediving in the English dictionary

The definition of freediving in the dictionary is the sport or activity of diving without the aid of breathing apparatus.
