Free diving is a technique used with various aquatic activities. While in general all aquatic activities that include breath-hold diving might be classified as a part of free diving, some sports are more accepted than others. Eurodiving give you the opportunity to dive down to 30 meters in 6 days!

Examples of recognized free diving activities are (non-) competitive free diving, (non-) competitive spear fishing, free diving photography and mermaid shows. Less recognised examples of free diving include, but are not limited to, synchronised swimming, underwater rugby, underwater hockey, underwater hunting other than spear fishing, and snorkelling.

The discussion remains whether free diving is only a synonym for breath-hold diving or whether it describes a specific group of underwater activities. Free diving is often strongly associated with competitive breath-hold diving or Competitive Apnea. The remainder of this article will discuss only competitive free diving as an athletic sport.

Competitive free diving is currently governed by two world associations: AIDA International (International Association for Development of Apnea) and CMAS (World Underwater Federation). Most types of competitive free diving have in common that it is an individual sport based on the best individual achievement. An exception to this rule is the bi-annual World Championship for Teams, held by AIDA, where the combined score of the team members makes up the team's total points.

There are currently nine disciplines used by official governing bodies and a dozen disciplines that are only practiced locally. In this article, the recognized disciplines of AIDA and CMAS will be described. All disciplines can be done by both men and women and, while done outdoors, no differences in the environment between records are recognized any longer.

The disciplines of AIDA can be done both in competition and as a record attempt, with the exception of Variable Weight and No limits, which are both done solely as record attempts.
