Taking the Plunge: Freediving vs. Scuba Diving - Which is the Better Fit for You?
Freediving and scuba diving are two amazing ways to explore the underwater world, but they appeal to different types of people. Freediving is a sport that requires the diver to hold their breath while exploring the underwater world with minimal equipment, whereas scuba diving involves using a tank of compressed air to breathe while exploring the underwater world. Scuba diving is often seen as a more accessible sport than freediving, as it does not require as much physical fitness or mental discipline, and allows for longer dives and deeper exploration. The decision to choose between the two comes down to personal preference and interests.
