Constant Weight – Constant weight is essentially Freediving using weight to control your buoyancy, this can be done with or without fins. This is the most common form of Freediving.
Static Apnea – This is essentially a breath hold exercise. You lie face down in a pool and see how long you can stay there; this is a pure mind game.
Dynamic Apnea – Dynamic Apnea is a competition discipline, its how much distance you can travel horizontally in one breathe, normally in swimming pools. This can be done with or without fins.
Free Immersion – This discipline is pulling yourself up and down a line without fins. This is a great discipline for beginners as it allows them to accurately time their equalisations.
Variable Weight – This is descending with a weight or sled. This is for the more hardcore breed of Freedivers and allows you to reach serious depth. This sport requires a full support crew to ensure nothing goes wrong.
No Limits – This is the most extreme form of Freediving, essentially you descend on a weighted sled and ascend using an air filled bag. This discipline is the one most people know of as it grabs headlines however isn’t considered the purest form of Freediving.

Freedive Mask – There are some things to be considered when buying a mask for Freediving. A Freedive mask should be lower volume than a scuba mask making it easier to equalise. Lenses should be clear to allow your buddy to easily see your eyes and the nose section must be loose enough to easily allow you to equalise.
Fins – Freediving fins are significantly longer than Scuba fins which gives you much more power than with a scuba fin, however does limit your ability to turn easily. The reason for the extra length is to produce the most efficient kick to conserve your energy levels whilst moving as quickly as possible. Click here for a full range of 
Wetsuits – Like with the specific mask and fins Freediving wetsuits are specific also. They should be as close to perfect fit as possible. Usually a combination of long johns with a separate jacket with no zips to minimise flushing. The neoprene used is generally open cell which provides maximum warmth and mobility. The downside to this type of material is that it’s very fragile. Click here for a full range of 
Weight Belts – Weight belts should be made of rubber to be flexible which helps with breathing and compression at any depth. The belt should be quick release. Click here for a full range of
