What could be better than investing in a timeshare in one of your favorite destinations? If you’ve ever been to Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit area, you know just how special this Mexican location is. From the jungles to the towns, people, and customs, there is something uniquely beautiful about spending vacations here.
If you’ve committed to owning timeshare in Puerto Vallarta, you may be looking for fun activities to do while in town. From fishing to cycling, the list of fun opportunities is endless. One activity that you may have not considered yet is freediving.
What is freediving?
Freediving - also known as apnea - is considered an extreme sport. It definitely isn’t for the faint-hearted but it is truly rewarding. Freediving requires you to train your body to hold your breath for long periods of time, as well as to reach deeper depths without the assistance of scuba equipment.
While you may swim incredibly, chances are that you can’t go very deep or stay under water for very long. Training in freediving will provide you with the ability to spend more time under the water and allow you to explore greater depths.
Why would you want to do freediving?
Because you will be spending more time in Puerto Vallarta and around the water, you may be looking for new ways of exploring marine life and the ocean. Freediving can allow you to explore a unique way of fishing known as spearfishing. Because spearfishing requires you to be under water for an extended period of time to catch your designated target, being practiced in freediving can help you to be more successful in this sport.
It is also a great way to admire marine life without having to worry about staying on the surface as snorkelers do. You can swim with ocean giants such as whales and be able to admire their beauty for longer periods.
How to freedive
While the ins and outs of freediving are too many to state here, freediving courses will help train you in your breathing techniques, but also in controlling your mind. You will learn the importance of always diving with a partner, how to equalize pressure in your ears to avoid accidents while diving depths, and also swimming techniques that will make your time underwater-and your held breath-more efficient.
In Conclusion
After learning how to and becoming confident in freediving, you will most likely fall in love with this sport. It’s one of the few that requires such focus and discipline, but the experience of becoming a “mermaid” is one like none other. Once you experience the joys of freediving, you’ll be sure to want to come back for more and with your timeshare at a local resort, you’ll be able to participate and progress in this amazing underwater lifestyle.
