    Breatheology: the Art of Conscious Breathing

    Posted on November 18, 2010 by DEMA Team

    Stig Severinsen is on a mission. He wants to share with freedivers and “normal” people the world over, the advantages of efficient breathing. We ran into Stig here at DEMA 2010, where he is promoting his new book Breatheology: The Art of Conscious Breathing.

    A four time World Record champion freediver, Stig holds adavnced degrees in both medicine (PhD) and biology (MS). This combination gives Severinsen a fairly unique perspective on the sport of freediving and is what has propelled his interest in breathing. For the last decade Stig has both practiced and investigated the beneficial effects of breathing and breath-hold on the mind and body.

    Stay tuned to DeeperBlue for a full review of Breatheology: The Art of Conscious Breathing but in the meantime go to Breatheology.com and download the first chapter of Stig’s book for free and tell us what you think.

    UPDATE September 2011: You can now buy Breatheology from DeeperBlue.com Exclusives.

      But she was coughing up blood! That can't be good, I was shocked that they took it so lightly. I would have asked to be checked out in hospital.

      The people that need to learn a lesson is Omer - this diver was was trapped because of the stupid clip they put on their Stingray footpockets (and the Millenniums had this unnecessary clip too, though the Stingray design is worse). How they could not consider the risk is unbelievable.  No other footpocket design includes anything that line can catch on.

      the diver is feeling fine after a minute under water with a 1/2 breath, then the next thing is hes panicking because...hes out of breath completely!!! (hyperventalation?)Always surface well before you absoultely need to, with about 15 seconds to lesuirely get up. That way, if you find yourself stuck, you have time to assess and release if tangled. If that doesnt work, cut the line immediately with no hesitation. Lines are super dangerous anytime, especially in murky, kelp heavy water.

      Lesson learned: no fish is worth dying for! If you're trapped underwater and you need to breathe, get your knife and cut through the line. I have been trapped underwater once by some fishing line that got tangled around my weight belt at 6m, and I was amazed at how calmly I reached for my knife and cut myself free.
