How do you use apnea tables?
Begin with a 2 minute, 30 seconds breathe up. Then take your personal best breath hold and hold for 50% of that time. Repeat this process, reducing the breathing rests by 15 seconds each time, for no more than 8 cycles. An O2 apnea table is similarly designed.
How often should you do apnea tables?
It is important to perform between two to four tables per week – one at a time – Never perform both types of table during the same day. IMPORTANT! If you violate any of the table limits you may suffer serious damage to your respiratory system. Never practice more than one table daily!
How long can the average person hold their breath for?
Most people can hold their breath for somewhere between 30 seconds and up to 2 minutes. Why try holding your breath longer?

What apnea tables are available in the freedive app?
The freedive app utilizes the basic Co2 and O2 tables based off of your best apnea record, which can be recorded via the app. The default tables are autogenerated based off of your record and are not adjustable. But, the app allows you to create your own static and dynamic apnea tables from scratch and save them in the app.
What is an apnea table used for?
Professional and novice freedivers will regularly utilize apnea tables to condition their bodies for prolonged breath holds. There are two types of breath hold training tables: C02 and O2 .
What is the difference between an O2 and apnea table?
The concept is simple. Apnea tables designed to improve the body’s tolerance to CO 2 will decrease the rest time between successive breath holds in an attempt to slowly build a residual concentration of CO 2 in the lungs. An O 2 table will do the opposite by holding rest times constant and increasing the duration of each breath hold.
How to train with the apnea trainer?
