Freediving is the New Lifestyle Sport of the Diving World

London, UK (PRWEB) March 10, 2008 -- Freediving is making a big splash in the diving world and is appealing to the new generation of divers who desire an extreme sport accessible to all. DeeperBlue.net, the website for the freediving community and the largest provider of professional freediving instruction in the world, announce an extensive education programme for 2008.

Freediving, the sport of diving to depth whilst holding your breath, is unlike its big brother Scuba diving. Freediving is attracting a far wider crowd of new generation divers, including many scuba divers, looking for new challenges and more of a connection with the underwater world. DeeperBlue.net is helping bring this fantastic sport to the masses through an extensive education programme of over 70 courses in 2008 and two residential camps in Greece and Abu Dhabi.

The freediving courses on offer during 2008 are the most comprehensive available anywhere in the world. For those looking for a way to beat panic attacks, lose weight and feel incredible, freediving is the lifestyle sport of choice. Breathing, fitness and underwater swimming techniques, which are taught on DeeperBlue.net courses, revolutionise the way people move in the water and live out of it. Recent courses have attracted surfers, bankers, pilots, housewives, piano tuners and members of the Special Forces.

Freediving is often said to have been popularised in the 1988 Luc Besson film, The Big Blue, however it is an ancient sport and method of fishing that goes back thousands of years to the dawn of civilisation.

"Freediving is the sexiest lifestyle sport out there, attracting a new breed of diver interested in self knowledge, marine conservation and an 'extreme' sport accessible to all. Our courses allow people seeking out this sport to learn from the very best team of instructors in the world" says Stephan Whelan, CEO of DeeperBlue.net.

This appeals to those who want to dive without all the weight, cost and hassle of scuba diving and as a lifestyle sport freedivers are generally fitter, healthier and sexier than scuba divers.

There are even benefits to existing Scuba Divers - "For scuba divers looking to use less air underwater and extend bottom time, for underwater photographers who wonder why they're scaring away all the fish, freediving is the sport to learn." explains Emma Farrell, the Head of Education at DeeperBlue.net and author of One Breath. "This makes it the new lifestyle sport that's growing rapidly. Our freediving courses teach you how to breathe correctly, move through the water more efficiently and is the best way to take pictures of underwater life without scaring away all the fish with bubbles"

The DeeperBlue.net Freediving Courses 2008 Programme is now available at http://www.deeperblue.net/courses/

In addition to the extensive set of training programmes on offer,http://www.deeperblue.net/ is the destination for anyone seeking out information about freediving.
