free dive
Tankless underwater exploration
Free dive refers to diving underwater without breathing apparatus—relying only on a single breath held from the surface.
Free divers descend to remarkable depths through training and technique: She can free dive to sixty meters.
The term works as noun, verb, or modifier: a free dive to the shipwreck, free-dive competitions.
