'''Freediving''', '''free-diving''', '''free diving''', '''breath-hold diving''', or '''skin diving''', is a mode of [[underwater diving]] that relies on [[apnea|breath-holding]] until resurfacing rather than the use of breathing apparatus such as [[scuba set|scuba gear]].
 
Besides the limits of [[Apnea|beathbreath-hold]], immersion in water and exposure to high ambient pressure also have physiological effects that limit the depths and duration possible in freediving.
 
Examples of freediving activities are [[artisanal fishing|traditional fishing]] techniques, competitive and non-competitive freediving, competitive and non-competitive [[spearfishing]] and freediving [[photography]], [[synchronised swimming]], [[underwater football]], [[underwater rugby]], [[underwater hockey]], [[underwater target shooting]] and [[snorkeling]]. There are also a range of "competitive [[apnea]]" disciplines; in which competitors attempt to attain great depths, times, or distances on a single breath.
