Depth Competitions
Depth competitions are events where participants aim to reach the greatest underwater depth while holding their breath. These competitions are typically held in various formats, including static and dynamic disciplines. In static, divers remain still while submerged, while in dynamic, they swim horizontally underwater.
The sport is governed by organizations like AIDA and CMAS, which set safety standards and rules. Competitors use techniques such as relaxation and equalization to manage pressure changes. Depth competitions require rigorous training and a strong understanding of physiology to ensure safety and performance.
