What is the effect of free diving mirror volume

Jan 07, 2025

Have you heard of free diving before? Free diving is an exhilarating activity in which a person is made to dive without any special equipment such as tanks or goggles to the depths of the body of water. Rather, they take a deep breath and plunge deep beneath the water to experience the incredible underwater Kingdom. Some of these divers can hold their breath so long, it’s really incredible. One factor in how they do it, is something called mirror volume.

What Is Mirror Volume?

They all want to know what mirror volume is. The volume of air left inside your lungs after fully exhaling is known as the mirror volume. Knowing their mirror volume is key for free divers because it tells them how long they can stay wiz out air while submerged. The larger the mirror volume a person possesses, the longer that individual can remain submerged without having to surface for oxygen.

How Mirror Volume Aids Free Divers

When we inhale, we are drawing in oxygen into our lungs. That oxygen is carried into our blood by our lungs. From there, our blood transports the oxygen throughout the various sections of our body. Breathing out, or exhalation, releases carbon dioxide, a waste product the body must eliminate. It is very important that we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide to stay alive.

Free divers have to be extremely cautious because, while they’re holding their breath, they are not absorbing any additional oxygen. Even though they’re not getting additional oxygen, their bodies still require it to function properly. This is the point at which knowing something about mirror volume becomes crucial.

How to Improve Mirror Volume

If you can teach a free diver how to grow their topside mirror, the diver can hold their breath longer under water and dive deeper. There are specific Diving Set exercises that can facilitate this process. One of them is diaphragm stretching. Diaphragm — A muscle that allows us to breathe. By training this muscle, free divers can increase their mirror volume and make it easier for them to dive deeper and stay underwater longer.

Volume of Lung Capacity and Mirror

One more key concept to understand is lung capacity. Lung capacity — or lung capacity — is the total amount of air that our lungs can hold. It is the same as mirror volume, but rather than measuring how much air we can hold on to after we breathe out, it instead measures how much air we can inhale when we inhale. Mirror volume can also have a huge effect on free divers as they require a significant amount of lung capacity.

So, for example, if a free diver has a smaller lung capacity, they would also likely have a smaller mirror volume. The encouraging fact is that lung capacity is an area that can be improved through targeted exercises and conditioning. Free divers can also improve their lung volume by training to hold their breath longer and dive deeper into the water.

The Benefits Of Free Diving Sensibly

Free diving is a lot of fun, but it can also be dangerous. That’s why it’s critical for free divers to understand mirror volume and how it works in their bodies. Free divers can learn about mirror volume to ensure they are staying safe while descending and can increase their duration underwater and breathe in while using their air supply longer.

We do free diving at ZMZDIVE, so we help divers to reach their best. That’s why we have specific equipment for free diving. Our Dive Mask and snorkels are designed to allow free divers to hold their breath longer and dive deeper into the ocean. Besides gear we share education and tricks on mirror volume and lung capacity.
