The 8 Foundational Pillars
of Freediving Training

The Heart of the Depth Collector Series

I’m a freediving instructor trainer who has spent over a decade obsessed with one thing: how the human body adapts to depth.

Together with my wife, I co-founded VD Freediving Taiwan, where we’ve guided divers of all levels, not just to explore the ocean, but to discover what they’re capable of.

From this work, a simple framework emerged:

The 8 Foundational Pillars of Freediving Training.

Covering CO₂ tolerance, hypoxia, technique, adaptation, mental training, physical preparation, nutrition, and recovery.

A system that has helped countless freedivers become stronger, safer, more in control, and dive deeper.

Not about training harder.


About training smarter.
