2. Freediver Training Guide to 42

💡

“Always Leave a Place Better Than You Found It” A42 has been around for 7 years. A big thank you to our community. Built on collaboration and co-creation these 7 years. A42 adopts a holistic approach to freediving through philosophy of self, skills & techniques & curiosity for the human potential. I will be creating a training road map – Freediver Training Guide to 42. It is guide that uses progressive challenges with milestones for a freediver of any level to utilize and track their progress.
