How to PRACTICE Your Mouthfill Equalization Skills & Technique

Published 2021-03-16
For freedivers using the mouthfill, there are 101 ways to 'learn' the skills and techniques required for mouthfill equalization.

However, learning a skill doesn't mean it's going to automatically apply to your diving. For that you happen you actually need to 'PRACTICE' it's application in an effective way.

Here are 2 'PRACTICE' exercises and targets within each exercise, each applicable to either 'beginner' and 'intermediate+' Mouthfillers.

    Could you make a video how to do a dry training of mounthfill? Practices with EQ tools, empty and full lung? thanks

    This advice is very valuable. MF/EQ really should be practiced on RV/FRC - at least it worked wonders for me. Was constantly swallowing at the same dept for a whole year (!), then after only RV and MF from surface for a few weeks, I could add 20 meters to my depth PB. Apart from using the MF while diving in RV, I suspect there are also physiological adaptations taking place that reduce or eliminate any "MF sabotage" on full lung dives. I came back to this video by chance, should have added this to my training earlier. Thanks Nathan!

    hello!! i am new. thank for your video.
  • @tiandao1chouqin
    You made an excellent point about learning vs. practicing. The FRC diving is the best advice for me since I only have access to about 30 meters locally. I have been practicing it this summer and finally see some improvement. Thank you so so much!
  • Great video but why should it be exclusively FRC or RV sessions? In opposition to a mixed training session with some equilization exercises. Thanks.

    Thanks a lot Nathan, this is very very useful for me! Just finished my session of rv dives to 12/14 mt with mouthfill at surface. Since I always go with a mask, wonder what would be the difference if I was only with pinchnose and no mask. (My actual pb is 50 with mask) Thank you again from Italy!😊
