Freediving and Scuba Diving: Benefits of Learning Both

Freediving and scuba diving, benefits of learning both in Moalboal, Cebu, Philippines, should I learn freediving or scuba diving first, observe marine life, scuba, SCUBA, learn about your inner self, get your PADI, free-diving and your inner mermaid, breath-hold diving, skin diving, free diving.
The Philippines is known for its beaches and world class diving, and Moalboal is one of the best diving spots in the Country. If you have decided to “get your PADI”, have you thought whether Freediving or Scuba Diving is best for you? Before you dip your head underwater, you should consider the benefits of both.

This article aims to show that you don’t have to choose between Freediving and Scuba diving, and doing both will make you a better overall diver. With the use of equipment, scuba diving enables you to breathe underwater giving you more time to observe marine life, however Freediving allows more freedom without the need for lots of equipment and a tank of air.

Learning to relax is the most important aspect of learning to dive. Freediving requires you to hold your breath, so if you practice yoga or meditate, you will see similarities in relaxation techniques enabling you to dive longer. In contrast, the number one rule of scuba diving is never hold your breath, but mental relaxation and slow breathing are required otherwise you may not be able to stay underwater.

Awareness is another difference; when you scuba dive you look around at what you can see, so this provides external awareness.  Freediving brings awareness to your inner self, your strength of mind and many dive to discover or improve themselves. There is a quote “Scuba Divers look outside, Freedivers look inside.” 

Visitors to Moalboal can do a taster session for both Freediving and Scuba Diving, so its the perfect place to give it a try. 

Moalboal Eco Lodge show you Freediving and Scuba Diving, the benefits of learning both.

In the Philippines, there are many islands where you can go dolphin watching, however the newest place is Alegria, Cebu, just 40 minutes away from Moalboal.

Dolphin watching in Alegria is the perfect day trip from Moalboal, and as this has been on my bucket list for years, I was keen to give it a try. But is it ethical?

We only support ethical animal encounters, and when our research discovered there was no feeding, no chasing, no touching, no human involvement to attract the dolphins, we knew this was the sustainable dolphin watching experience we wanted. The only tricks the dolphins performed were because they were having fun in the wild – the best way of seeing them.

Our dolphin watching experience in Alegria was amazing and unforgettable. Viewing these playful and intelligent animals in their natural habitat was very special, and a memory that will stay with us forever.
