RELAQUA

Relaqua® is a relaxation concept that has its origins in freediving. The art of the freediver is to be able to relax to the point. He uses various techniques, such as meditation, the diving reflex, yoga and especially pranayama, the breathing part of yoga.

This is an endogenous relaxation mechanism. The so-called immersion reflex ensures that as soon as the human is no longer breathing and lies face down in the water, various adjustments in the body occur. On the one hand, the pulse falls, on the other hand, oxygen-rich blood is transported to the brain and lungs. The spleen releases more red blood cells, which provide for improved oxygen transport. Humans therefore have an endogenous relaxation mechanism as soon as they hold their breath in the water.

The common thread through all courses of the Relaqua program is the conscious breath. Here are techniques from the pranayama, the breathing part of yoga used. Breathing helps us in a short time to relax, to increase our ability to concentrate, to purify our lungs and much more. In yoga, the term “stopping air” is replaced by “breathing space”. If you take a break from breathing, you will open your window inward and be much more receptive to meditation.

The water is elemental component. In the water, floating exercises are combined with breathing pauses and meditation. Deep relaxation in the water is particularly easy to achieve. The body is weightless and the dominant senses, such as seeing and hearing, are turned off or weakened. In this environment and due to the effect of the dive reflex, the calm and mindfulness meditation is particularly easy.

Freediving with the ORCA Dive Club Freediving Academy Nik Linder

Apnea or freediving is the oldest and most original form of diving. For example, apnea divers have collected shells, sponges and pearls back in the Stone Age. The underwater hunt for fish with spears – the spearfishing – is still operated today and represents the world’s largest distribution form of apnea diving. In addition, freediving is operated as a leisure activity and as a diving sport to extreme sports. In the leisure sector, it is mainly about the exploration of the underwater world and the general conditioning for scuba diving. In competitive sports, on the other hand, targeted training always strives for longer apnea times or distance and depth performances.

There are 2 different disciplines, pool and deep diving:

Diving (Static / STA)
Diving with fins (Dynamic with fins / DYN)
Diving without fins (Dynamic without fins / DNF)
Trail diving by time (Speed Endurance Apnoea)

Deep dive with constant weight without fins (Constant weight without fins / CNF)
Deep dive with constant weight with fins (Constant weight / CWT)
Free Immersion / Immersion Libre (FIM)
Deep diving with variable weight (Variable weight / VWT)
No Limit (NLT)

Freediving at ORCA in the Freedive Academy Nik Linder is primarily about recreational activity, experiencing the freedom of the underwater world without technical aids and the peace of the underwater world. More and more divers and non-divers are discovering the benefits of freediving.

And of course the whole year 2019 freediving with Hanna in our egyptian ORCA Dive Clubs and with Nico in the ORCA Dive Club Mauritius.
