This my first post here, and i decide start write first post about history of free diving.
Free diving is generally considered to be one of the first extreme sports. Although unfair to categorize all of free diving as extreme.
Aside from those amazing individuals who engage in free diving competitions, for the vast majority, free diving is an enjoyable recreation.
Free dive or breath hold diving, is the earliest of all diving techniques, and has played a historic role in in the search for food and treasure, as well as military operations dating back thousands of years. The Hae-Тгу and Ama pearl divers of Korea and Japan are among the better known free divers.
Roman soldiers used hollow reeds as breathing tubes, which allowed them to remain submerged for longer periods while an enemies army would pass by unsuspecting of submerged Roman soldiers.
Many native peoples in the Caribbean as well as Polynesia have been free diving for conch, fish and lobster for thousands years.
