- Learn how to freedive deeper! There are many elements to help a person to dive deeper and in this freediving tutorial we break down the elements so that you can understand your own diving and know what steps to take to freedive deeper.
PLUS, take a look at what happened at the Australian National Pool Freediving Comp as well as a look at what training I am currently doing!

Still waiting for the "how to grow chest hair tutorial" 😂
Daniel Douglas can't wait !!!
hahahaha you think i'd give away my true secrets
He got hair plugs. Told the poor salon girl "I want to feel like I'm laying on a shaggy rug no matter where I go." I was in the next stall over, waxing my earhair (for better equalizing) and overhead him. True story
now that i'm actually a freediver, the concept that adam teaches becomes more and more the real thing. but when i was a beginner i can't really appreciate it that much because i was focusing on other things that are not on the correct stages. great tutorials! keep it up.
I have never free dived in my life. I can swim but not even a good swimmer, but I stumbled upon this guy and his videos and im loving them. His energy and humour is amazing
Im so thankful i found your channel! You are such a big help in helping me achieve my freediving goals by giving me the tools and helping me understand it all! 👍🏼
I greatly appreciate all the knowledge you deliver on your channel as well as your good mood. It is always a delight to watch your videos and know more about the fantastic world of freediving. thank you
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoy them :)
Next year when I'm done with my military service I will definetly start with freediving! Your vloggs and tutorials are so inspiring and completely amazing!
Keep at it bro! time's almost up :) you're going to love it
Your lady is a legend! literally lol'ed!
hahahah she is a crack up. she seems innocent on the surface but she's a vixen

hahahah as long as you're singing that you should be completely fine!
Thanks for sharing your life and your knowledge
So welcome :) I quite enjoy it all
When I need something this is where I go. U r amazing and keep it up
Thanks so much buddy :) will do!
Another great video. Thank you.
so welcome Tomas :)
I liked the video right after got the notification for it, so now is the time to watch it ;) Thank you.
You are the best! thank you :)
Love that you're straight up telling the truth without bullshitting around. I wonder what my diving will look like this summer after two years without any freediving at all. Also I need to get my hands on a monofin. Dynamic must be 10x better with a monofin instead of bi-fins.
thanks brother! it's so so much better with a monofin haha. You'll most likely have a few bad dives before your body works out what's going on and you'll be back again!
Hi Adam! I am interested in spearfishing and freediving and your channel taught me a lot to improve myself. Thank you for the great job, keep it up! Much love from Turkey!
Thanks so much! So happy I could help out! :) sending love back from Sydney
OMG, Erin! 🤣 I love it!
In all seriousness, super great video! Thanks for all the hard work you guys do. 🙏
Thank you! This is Erin :) I really appreciate it!
Ty for the help/tips! Great vid as allways

Absolutly love the videos adam, please keep them coming! And thanks so much!
Thank you Alex! Will do :)
Best tutorial as always :)
Thank you buddy :)
Another bang on explanation and I’m so happy I found this channel.Shame here in England the beaches are too far from me and it’s hard to get into freediving but I definitely want to give it a go.Thanks Adam 😃👌
Lol if you live in England your not far from the beach. Americans be 8+ hours away
Equalisation has been my biggest challenge going deeper. Your frenzel tutorial fixed that.
that's so good to hear Don! I'm so happy to help out
you're the best!!
You are great as usual
Thank you buddy :)
Adam, love your videos. I was just out at Roatan, west bay. Went snorkeling but couldn't dive deep cause I strained probably broke something in my shoulder. I was able to dogging swim across the surface.. Was very beautiful... Thanks, for your vid's...
I really like your videos Adam, super interesting to watch!
thanks so much bro! Stoked that you like them :)
thank you adam !!! really !
So so welcome my friend :)
Adam you are amazing!!!
I’m coming back to Australia in September, I live near Byron bay and I would love to learn from you personally :) I know it’s in a while but how can I get info about courses/sessions/workshops etc...
thanks heaps you are such an inspiring human being! Love your work!!!

Awesome Adam
Thank you buddy :)
love the captions though, lol. it's great to have a wife so supportive of your passion.
Awesome, awesome. I just live in the WRONG area of the world!! I am inspired tho and entertained by your videos. You are goofy yet professional and really know your stuff!
Thanks Richard! the best thing about living in the wrong part of the world is holidaying to the right part of the world :)
diving things are awsome. Cool.
Oh wow, Amber in Adam's video! Nice. And great advice as always, I need those. Thanks!
hahaha any excuse to make fun of amber :P
You are amazing thanks
Thanks Jordan!!!
Nice video with some really cool tips! Looking forward to more videos 🙌! Subscribed!

thank you adam. best tutorials. will be with marese secades at moalboal , cebu for the sardine run.
thank you! How exciting!!! :)
Just sub'd, really like your videos & just overall positive energy feel. Wishing you continued happy, safe, and successful diving : )
thanks so so much :) stoked that you enjoy the videos :)
11:32 HOLY SHIT!!! I was like, oh he's gonna come up now, but damn thats pretty good. Oh no. He's just turning around!
hurrrrray a NEW VIDEO
:)
Adam that's an amazing pool mate. I'd wish I'd have a pool like that near me😣😣
You're channel is SICK!!!! (Also you are a great inspiration!!!) 1 month ago I could only hold my breath for about 1 minute (I have just started diving) but now I can hold my breath for 2 mins and swim 25metres no fins. I've tried to ask u before but which fins do you use? I'm trying to try out different fins but so far... No joy.
thanks Daniel! I'm so happy the videos are helpful :) I use Molchanov fins :) they are legit the best fins in the world
thank you bro for the lesson
Very welcome :)
i love free diving and want to starting free diving lesson from your vid. i have a question when i am trying to descent that feel very hard, my body feel pushing upward to the surface again and again so need extra effort to descent and that make me hard to relax. Can you tell me why which video that showing the lesson about that. Thank you...terima kasih
Cool Video, Keep up the good work!
thank you! I will!
My first 10 meter dive:
I take it calm and slow down too 10 meters. Why?
Because i stayed relaxed and keep enough Oxygen too stay on the sand floor. And enough too get up too safety. Drop your weight belt if it makes you feel safe.
When i swim too the surface i don’t stress, but i only swin calm and controlling. Then you faster ready for a new dive.
Mate i follow you from instagram and now on youtube, i like your "how to videos" helped me a lot.
In my country the "apnea" is a not very well sport, and I try to make it better known, greetings from Peru!
Thanks so much! greetings from sydney :) Apnea will grow and grow!
Thx for the video. Should help me in getting to 24m in my AIDA 3 in a couple of months.
Is there still a chance of us getting that dive training session video because us apprentices wanna see our master go to work :)
hahaha yes! I'm going to be diving deep again in 10 days so that will be the first video I make
Hi Adam! Can you suggest any training or exercises I can do at home to work on my kicks. My instructor told me I'm doing baby kicks 😅 and I need to work on my kicks so I can go down faster. Looking forward to hearing from you. Stay safe!
Love the Cameo appearance of @John Wright
hahaha any excuse to put John on the internet i'll take!
#Evilwife Grrrrr
Man, I think I'll start doing dishes, their revenge is so evil.
You deserved it Adam. Shame on you, shame on you!
with that hip action and tongue control.... we know how you got that 10er ;) haha, hey Adam awesome vid, feeling the cold over her in perth haha is there anything you can do for pressure adaptation without deep water(is FRC a solution or does this only simulate depth equalisation) ? how often are you depth training and what are you doing when you are in sydney when your not able to get deep?
:D
Best part of the vlog 😉
You are like a slightly more chill version of Russel Brand. Yay. :D
hahahahahaa 100%
Adam, I love your channel. Thank you to you and your partner. I have the opportunity to get in the ocean more and all I can think of are bull sharks. I’ve listen to and watched Ocean Ramsey and she does such a great job to dispel my irrational fear. I was wondering if you would talk about how you stay safe in the water. Your joie de vivre is a wonderful example. Cheers!
Thank you! I have plans to make more safety videos :) I'll pop them up once their done. I'm so happy you are able to get into the ocean more often :) Sharks have no interest in us. Unless i'm spearfishing I almost never see them :)
Wonderful videoo aaadam! It helps me a lot.. anyway, what do you think about a hypertensive people that interested in freediving? Is it going to be fatal?
Thank you :) well I don't think it would be fatal but I have absolutely no medical training so I really can't say. Just ask a doctor :)
Equalization, is the act of equalizing, equalisation, is just the noun ....ha ha ! Great vid Adam.
So my question is, because I live in Canada and can't dive year round ,
Will I lose my depth adaption every season end ? Or once you have hit a new pb, it will always progress from that point on , even after a long layoff? Cheers mate.
nope.. you'll lose everything you learnt. but you've get em back quick once you started diving again.
Tettt! Nope, The spelling difference of 'z' and 's' in this is one is BrE spelling and another is AmE. Adam's Australian, so obviously he'll use BrE 😉
radziahradzi I know , I'm just busting him a bit , lol, I'm Canadian, we spell it either way
Yep, like anything else you will lose the depth adaptation when you have a break but you will regain it all very very quickly! The body remembers :) hahahahaha also you had me doing google searches about how to spell equalisation properly haha
Nice video!!! sometimes I can't equalize should I visit a doctor or just wash my sinuses every day?
Thank you :) Have you seen my videos on equalisation, especially the videos on solving equalisation problems? I think they will answer your question better than I can here
Haha love this #evilwife #revenge. Thanks for all the tutorials, can't wait for summer!
nice presentation, Adam. Sadly I'm still stuck with equalisation troubles (harder past 12-13 meters) and the feeling of "there's no air to equalize". I feel perfectly comfortable pressure wise (actually never felt pressure at all, even at my personal record of 24.5). Just...can't find air to equalize, and the feeling of in general having very little air in my lungs (which might, in retrospect, be pressure). I do very comfortably dive with empty lungs to 7-8 meters (after slowly working up to that in summer). Oh well. At least in Malta there's unlimited depth to play with, differently from Cyprus and Spain!
Sounds like you need to work on your grouper call to bring more air into your mouth :) here's to Malta!
I am just starting off with freediving. I’ve watched a lot of your videos even before I started and I just have one very important question: when will I black out? I do not hyperventilatilate before a dive, ever. I breathe in for 5 sec and out for 10 sec after that I take a normal breath and pack my lungs full of air before diving down. I am very scared of blackouts because my friend is terrible at rescuing. I can hold my breath for 2:30 sec at the surface, if that matters
hopefully you will never black out. So for starters unless you are diving deeper than 50-60m there is really no need to pack and if you're not diving that deep you should definitely stop. Just progress slow and stay well within your limits when you're diving recreationally.
Adam, new subscriber here, love your channel! I live in japan nearby and got really excited when i saw you had a huge event in Bali for free divers. I'm just wondering if you plan on doing more like that, and if so where can i go to find out about them? Thanks!
Welcome :) I run Deep Week in Asia 3 times per year :) you can find all the information on my website www.adamfreediver.com also I post updates about the trips and new dates on my facebook page as well :) Adam Stern Freediver
Thanks so much!
nice video. whats the song you are swimming to?
Is there a general "You should be able to hold your breath for x amount of time" for certain depths? Like for, let's say, 20m or 30m?
Time generally isn’t a factor in my experience, your skills will prevent you reaching a depth before your breath hold time will. By the time you learn the skills, your breath hold time will have worked itself out (at least up to about 50 meters or so). Regrading time specifically, it is usually thought about it in terms of meters per second. For competition divers generally go around 1.0 m/s (to reach this speed requires quite a bit of skill). So for a 20 meter dive, if you had the skill to reach 1 m/s, it would take 20 seconds down, turn around time 1-2s, and 20 seconds back up. Let’s say 45 seconds. By the time you learn all the skills to reach 20 meters, holding your breath for 45s isn’t an issue.
Hey, do you do any freediving courses in Perth or do you mainly just do them in bali? I'd love to go to one but going to bali while having uni isn't really an option...
makes total sense. I teach all over the country and this summer I'll be running coruses in Perth :) if you flick me an email to adam.thomas.stern@gmail.com I'll fill you in on the schedule
starts at 3:45
What do you think of the Wim Hoff Method?
There are some interesting aspects to it but it's terrible for freediving :)
I know it! If you want to dive deeper, you must dive often! But, what should do a holiday divers? If they able to deep dive once at a month? The deep dives are close for them?
I'm so sorry but I'm not sure what you mean???
Adam Freediver i mean, there is no way to go deeper and deeper for divers, which able to dive CWT or FIM or CNF only once at month, isnt it?
It looked like you were kicking harder in the last 50m of the lap. Is that for simulating the ascent of a deep dive?
Exactly! I like to give me legs a bit more of a beating
Was the first competition in the Knox school pool?
Sure was :)
Adam hi, why you dive often without fins to smaller depts? Isn't it easier to do it with fins..:)
I like no fin diving :) it's quite fun!
Any warm up breath holds or anything before the 125m ? Fuuuuu... for my 115m pb I train like a maschine with a 15 min preparation and you just... oh breath in an go... maaaan.
Erin you the best, lmao 😂
hahaha Erin is a savage haha. Usually no warm ups before the first swim. I just get stuck into it haha
thank you bro for the vedio , but i think that at 20 m there's 3 bar pressure ( 1 bar of air pressure and two bars of depth = 3 bar
very welcome :) did I say something different than that in the video? at 20m there is definitely 3 ATM of pressure
I freedive as a sport but I do not get to go freediving everyday. How do you think my body can adapt to such situation? Does it mean i have to start teaching my body all over again each time?
no :) once you get it to a certain point your body will always remember how to get back there easier and easier each time
hahahahaha ERIN CLASSIC!!
she's a beast haha
Im waiting for summer to freedive so badly
Red Baron273 same man
it's coming!!!
I get cold in 27 degree water. In Guam it's always warm. Never need a wetsuit
20-22 degrees!!!! it was 18 in england today and that's considered warm.
hahahaha oh we summer people here haha
Its always around 30 degrees here.😂
Is it ok if I use a brick?
So are you saying he kicks his feet a if he’s wearing a mono fin?
hahahaha it's definitely my style haha
Not sure how I was supposed to hold my breath when #evilwife has me chuckling 😄
don't you worry she got me too haha
Hey Adam, do you reply to our comments if we ask u something?
Daniel McDonald I certainly do :)
#revenge #evilwife What would you day the best thing for someone who doesn’t live by any big body of water so it’s harder to learn or find a freediving instructor to do if they want to start freediving?
Well I'd say the best thing would be to train in a pool and enjoy a few glorious freediving holidays to tropical locations a few times a year or as often as you can :)
Hey im a new subscriber. I wanted to freedive because of your videos but i cant but any gear :( help me out
Nice to digitally meet you :) you can start with any mask and any fins, just get what you can and begin :)
so funny, #evilwife Erin! :-D
she's truly evil
10 scuba divers!
woo hoo!
hiiiii mat hardy xD
THE PLANT IN THE BACKGROUND!! hahahahah poor thing
hahahaha it's Erin's job to water plants hahaha
You doing alright? been 3 weeks without a video. I am just starting my freediving training, i train three times a week in the pool and do all my O2 tables pretty much daily, still stuggling with frenzel. I did buy my O.M.E.R stingray fins... really wanted Mares, but the foot pocket just didnt fit, either to big or to small. I do have a question, my wife watches as i do my breath holds in a dead man float. She taps me on the shoulder when i hit 2 minutes so i can start lifting a finger to let her know i'm alright. I have a mental block at that 2 minute mark, as soon as i think i'm feeling contractions i get scared and come up for air. I find myself letting air into my mouth and sucking it back down again, is this part of those contractions? Soon as i get back from my scuba dive I'm finding a training center, although in the desert (Phoenix, AZ) really hard to find. Found one SSI dive center so far.
haha still alive and still good :) i've just been training a lot. That does sound exactly like a by product of a contraction or two. The best thing to get past mental barriers is to do many breath holds just before the barrier, let's say 1:45 and make those so easy and comfortable and then slowly progress a few seconds at a time from there. You'll get past it in no time
Also. Happy wife = happy wife 😉😉
lol like before you watch... well yeah ofc
hahahahaha a completely normal request haha
When l was 10 years old i could dive at 6-7 meters .Now (12 years old) l can dive only 3-4 meters. :(
who else held there breath for the 125m?
hahaha was it a nice breath hold?
Mate, it was stunning. So was yours of course;)
first like
you're the best :)
Another Aussie
revenge????? nailed it hahhahaahahahhahhhahaahhaahahahahahaha
Adam. You have THE BEST WIFE for sure :*
Yes I do :) she really is the best :)
Good Job.. and do the dishes man ^_*
hahaha i know i know- i've been doing them haha
Couldn't last long even at 10 meters depth..
10m is a great depth, just keep diving and your comfort will increase over time
The plant behind you in The video is dieing:(
I know....the plants are Erins...so you can blame her haha
Please teach us how to become a chad and grow a man-bun..
How to dive dipaaaaaaaaa...
you did say a realy nice idea's . you're a cool couple you & your evilwife loool
thank you :) and she is Evil!
Toke to much
Blah blah blah
I'm jealous of people who can dive deeper than me lost my goggles lake crescent wa 😫 just bought them was headed to a free dive spot devils punch bowl 🥣 and my paddleboard flipped I dove numerous times getting so close but just short every time
