Can anyone go freediving?

The short answer is yes.
 ​
Freediving is just holding your breath underwater. What allows freedivers to extend their bottom time and interact with the world under the sea is training. 

Much like scuba divers need training to learn about their equipment, freedivers need training on how to use their equipment: the human body. 
​
With proper instruction, freediving is safe and opens up a world of internal and external wonder.
