Female freedivers continue to exceed underwater. In the month of International Women’s Day in March, we take a closer look at how women adapt to freediving.
Lanyards are essential safety tools for freediving and are mandatory for depth training and competitions. Unbelievable but true: until 2001, freediving athletes weren’t required to use lanyards in competitions.
