JOSend this to the person you’ve always wanted to get into freediving — the one always saying their ears hurt👂
👉 follow for regular freediving tips and videos!
Note: If you don’t have water on you, or don’t want to spill it on yourself, skip step 1 and go straight to step 2
If you’re trying to learn Frenzel and nothing’s happening, try these troubleshooters:
1. Don’t exhale 💨 — if you’re feeling the water dribble out or feel your belly tensing, you’re probably pushing from your lungs.
2. Tongue + throat power 👅 — the pressure should come from sealing your throat and pushing your tongue up like a piston.
3. Soft palate stuck? 🤔 — try relaxing the upper back of your throat so the air pressure can reach your nose.
⚡️ Frenzel feels weird at first, but once it clicks, you’ll wonder how you ever did it any other way. Equalisation is a skill and a muscle you build. I’ve never seen someone who couldn’t equalise with dedication and practice.
🤝 The golden rule: never dive alone — always train with a buddy who knows their rescue skills.
If you’re actually keen to progress, I always recommend doing a freediving course with a qualified instructor.
If you’re an instructor, try this fun exercise with your students if they’re struggling with frenzel EQ 🤓
