This competition is similar to Constant Weight in terms of competing the diving 'depth' while holding breath. The difference is Free Immersion uses the vertical guiderope to pull him or herself down to depth without fins.



Variable weight

This competition is similar to Constant Weight in terms of competing the diving 'depth' while holding breath. However, the diver is allowed to change the diving weight. Many divers takes advantage to dive deep sea to the bottom with heavy weight and less swimming then return to the surface without diving weights.
