The 8 Foundational Pillars
of Freediving Training

The Heart of the Depth Collector Series

I am a freediving instructor trainer, and for more than a decade, I have been obsessed with one question:

​

How does the human body adapt to depth, and how can we train that adaptation intelligently?

​

Together with my wife, Jiayin, I co-founded VD Freediving Taiwan. Since then, we have helped freedivers of every level explore not only the ocean, but also the limits of what they believed they could achieve.

​

Through years of teaching, coaching, experimenting, and learning, a clear framework emerged:

​

The 8 Foundational Pillars of Freediving Training.

​

CO₂ tolerance. Hypoxia resistance. Technical mastery. Anatomical adaptation. Mental control. Physical preparation. Sports nutrition. Recovery and planning.

​

These eight pillars form a complete training system designed to help freedivers become stronger, safer, more efficient, and more in control at depth.

This is not about training harder.

​

It is about understanding what you are training, why you are training it, and how every element works together.

​

Train smarter. Dive deeper.
