The duck dive is one of the most important skills in freediving, yet it’s often overlooked. A good duck dive can save energy, improve equalization, reduce drag, and make your entire descent smoother. A poor duck dive does the opposite: it wastes energy before the dive has even started. In this carousel, you’ll learn the key steps to perform an efficient duck dive: • Proper surface preparation and relaxation • Final inhale and equalization • Streamlining and body position • Hip-driven movement • Timing of the hand stroke • Passing the buoyancy zone efficiently • Maintaining relaxation throughout the descent Remember: depth is not only about breath-hold ability.
