Freediving is very much a sport of acceptance. It is not a sport you can 'just try harder' or 'push stronger' to force a desired result. This is why it can be such a sport of contrasts with frustrations all along the way before you ultimately achieve that new personal best or new record dive. However, this can make it all the more rewarding once the sea allows you in and you stop overthinking the dive and dive with pure acceptance and surrender to the water.
