Static Apnea Special
WHY BREATH-HOLDING IS IMPORTANT TO SCUBA DIVERS This month, RAID is shining a spotlight on the benefits of static apnea training for scuba divers. Odd that something divers are told NOT to do — hold their breath — can offer such a long list of rewards. Static apnea is listed as a freediving discipline where a person holds their breath underwater for as long as possible without swimming or moving around.
