Duck dive with a 5mm wetsuit = high buoyancy, no excuses. No belt 

If you can master this, you can dive anywhere.

Most divers struggle to reach depth not because of their kicking…
but because their entry is wrong.

No depth.
No efficiency.
No control.

This drill changes everything:

• No weight belt
• 5mm wetsuit
→ maximum buoyancy → forces real technique

Key steps:

• Equalize on the surface
• Arms extended forward (streamline)
• Pass the buoy → commit fully
• Round the back (create the angle)
• Hands drive down → push the water
• Legs go up → vertical position
• Then ONE clean stroke

That stroke is the most important moment.

Too early → no angle
Too late → no momentum

Timing is everything.

• Equalize again
• Then kick strong and controlled

No splash.
No struggle.
Just precision.

Master the duck dive…
and depth becomes a consequence. #freediving #apnea #freedive #freediver #snorkeling
