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. It starts with mastering the fundamentals.

How would you rate your duck dive from 1 to 10? Let me know in the comments. 👇
