Most divers struggle… and burn energy before the dive even begins. The first meters are the hardest. You’re highly buoyant. Your body wants to float back up. If you fight it — you lose. Tension, bad positioning, poor duck dive… you waste oxygen in the most critical phase of the dive. And once it’s gone — it’s gone. The key is simple: pass this first part of the dive smoothly. No force. No rush. No unnecessary movement. A clean duck dive changes everything. • Relaxed body at the surface • Head down, hips up — clean 90° angle • Use your weight, not strength • One efficient movement to initiate descent • Stay streamlined and go vertical Do it right… and the water takes you down. Do it wrong… and you fight every meter. This is the difference between struggling… and moving effortlessly into depth. #freediving #apnea #spearfishing #freedivingphotography #freedivinglife
