Sports sous marins - Underwater sports history

Underwater sports

The French Federation of Education and Sports Submarines, founded in 1955 in Marseille, includes 156,000 licensees, approx. 1980 clubs and 9000 monitors. It holds 14 different underwater disciplines including:

La plongée sous-marine  

The first diving apparatus dates from 1860 and the first club in 1935. Today there are nearly 80,000 licensed and 1200 clubs.

The diver training includes 4 levels, it is open to youth from 14 years (12 years notwithstanding). Level 1 or Basic patent requires formation of 8 to 10 sessions in the pool or a period of 4 to 5 days at sea level This is open to anyone who can swim and it plunges, accompanied by an instructor in the area 20 m (level 1 recognized in France and overseas territories). The international degree is most important for the Open Water dives autonomous.

The most popular places in the world for diving are: Mal

es, the Red Sea toward Egypt, the Bahamas, French Polynesia and the Caribbean.

Biology Underwater

Its objective is to promote discovery and knowledge of the underwater environment. The dives take place in fresh water or sea (possible from 11 years).

Photo sub : shooting underwater diving.

It is practiced in natural cavities carved by groundwater in limestone, over distances of 10 meters to several kilometers. To this must be a diver.

Indispensable

Apnea comes from the Greek word "apnea": stop breathing

There are seven disciplines recognized:

- Static Apnea: the freediver apnea makes the longest possible in the body or on the water and submerged the airways.

·  Static apnea: stay as long as the water (pool or bathtub).

- Dynamic Apnea without fins: the freediver immersed and moves horizontally, with the goal of maximum distance traveled. Any help in propulsion is prohibited.

- Dynamic Apnea with Fins: The freediver immersed and moves horizontally, with the goal of maximum distance traveled. Any help to power other than fins or mono are prohibited.

·  Diving horizontal run: without reference depth, the diver travels a distance as long as possible.

- Diving in free immersion: the submerged depth freediver without propulsion equipment, with the goal depth reached (by pulling or not on the cable to the descent and ascent).

·  Diving "apnea free" or free disposal technique that is to descend along a cable to the force of arms and legs without fins.

- Diving to constant weight: the freediver descends and ascends in palms and / or with the help of arms without pulling on the cable and maintaining his weight, only maintain the cable in a single dose (one or both hands ) to stop the descent and begin the ascent is allowed.

·  The diving constant weight: down (upside down), and reassembled with only flippers, weighted the same weight (between 600 g and 2 kg). It is forbidden to touch the cable immersion.

·   

- Diving with variable weightse: the freediver descends with a ballast (pig) and goes through his own strength: arms and / or legs (by pulling or not the cable)

·  Diving in variable: the diver was weighted with a maximum weight of 35 kg and up to the surface using its fins and arms or using the rope.

- Diving No Limits: The freediver descends with a ballast (a pig with ballast of 22 kilos) and goes as he wishes (balloon inflated with air, etc.).

·  Diving "no limits" descent with a metal pig whose weight is not limited (to accelerate the descent). The rebound occurs with an inflatable balloon.

In each category there are records of male and female. For subjects in depth, there are records in freshwater and seawater

Example: In April 99 the Italian Nicolas Brischigiaro to set the world record in freediving under ice down to - 85 m in Lake Verney in the Aosta valley in a temperature of 2 °.

The world records are established by two associations: AIDA (International Association for the Development of Apnea) and IAFD (International Association of Free Divers). Only the records "to constant weight" are recognized by the International Federation.

Since 1992, AIDA (International Association for the Development of Apnea) regulate discipline and organize a world championship which took place for the third time in 2001.

The three editions were won by the Italian team, led by the great Umberto Pellizzari.

Team France (Claude Chapuis, Stéphane Mifsud and Jean-Michel Pradon) finished 2nd place in 2001.

In 2001 women, the Canadian women beat the Americans.

In November 2007, he became world champion at constant weight beating again his own world record at 112 meters (-111 m former established in December 2006). He has fought since 2001 a dozen world records in freediving diving including the 'no limits' on four occasions: - 172 m established in October 2005 and -183 m (first man to descend below 600 feet mythical) established August 2006 (both in Croatia) and -185 m and -214 m in 2007 (in June in Greece, the first man to descend below 700 feet!). He also holds the world record in static (9min45), apnea free (-100 m), Dynamic without fins (134 m) and constant weight without fins (-66m).

La nage avec palmes

The first fins were designed and drawn by Leonardo da Vinci in the sixteenth century. Swimming with fins is practiced in the field or pool. France is the world champion long distance races, 3rd nation in the world and vice-European champion in the pool. In recent years a new type of competition has emerged: the palmathlon which combines swimming with fins and running.

 

Le hockey subaquatique

He plays deep in a swimming pool (25 mx 15 m with a constant depth between 2 and 4 meters) between two teams of 6 players (plus 4 substitutes) during two periods of 15 minutes. The game is to move, making it move from player to player, puck, 8 cm in diameter and 1.3 kg to an end, 3 m long, placed at the bottom at each end of the basin. The players, moving underwater snorkeling, are equipped with a mask, a snorkel and flippers and a stick 30 cm long, held with one hand

The team tri male (already European Champion) became world champion in 1998, beating the South Africans.
