Lifestyle Sport Freediving Makes Big Splash in Malta in 2009
London, UK (PRWEB) May 26, 2009
Freediving is making a big splash in the diving world and is appealing to the new generation of divers who desire an extreme sport accessible to all. DeeperBlue.com , the leading website for the Freediving community and the largest provider of professional Freediving instruction in the world, announce their 5th amazing 2 week residential Freediving training camp between 15 ? 29th August 2009, this year based in the jewel of the Mediterranean ? Malta.
Freediving, the sport of diving to depth whilst holding your breath, is unlike its big brother Scuba diving. Freediving is attracting a far wider crowd of new generation divers, including many scuba divers, looking for new challenges and more of a connection with the underwater world. DeeperBlue.com is helping bring this fantastic sport to the masses through an extensive education programme which includes the annual summer training camp in the sun.
Freediving is often said to have been popularised in the 1988 Luc Besson film, The Big Blue, however it is an ancient sport and method of fishing that goes back thousands of years to the dawn of civilisation, however in modern times it is now a sport for those looking for a way to beat panic attacks, lose weight or just feel incredible.
Freediving is the lifestyle sport of choice for water lovers. Breathing, fitness and underwater swimming techniques, which are taught on the courses, revolutionise the way people move in the water and live out of it. Recent courses have attracted surfers, bankers, pilots, housewives, piano tuners and members of the Special Forces.
The 2 week residential camp is designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced Freedivers. Led by world class Instructor Trainer, Emma Farrell, and her team of AIDA instructors, the courses cover pool work, classroom theory, open water diving, and recreational Freediving at wrecks, reefs and even in the nets of a tuna farm!
There are one or two week packages available for both students and non-diving family members. All packages include all accommodation, transfers, tuition in pool and open water, course materials as well as day trips to explore the island and its wonders both above and below water. All students will walk away with a qualification backed up by AIDA International, the governing body for Freediving world.
Courses run from 15th ? 29th August 2009 and pricing starts from ?793.
?Freediving is the sexiest lifestyle sport out there, attracting a new breed of diver interested in self knowledge, marine conservation and an ?extreme? sport accessible to all. Our 2 week residential summer camp allow people seeking out this sport to learn from the very best team of instructors in the world whilst enjoying a spectacular holiday in the sun? says Stephan Whelan, CEO of DeeperBlue.com.
