The most important difference between a scuba diver and a freediver is that scuba divers use a tank of compressed air to stay underwater, while freedivers do not. Freedivers rely solely on their own breath to stay submerged. This means they must be more aware of their breathing technique and remain calm in order to avoid running out of oxygen. Additionally, freediving involves exploring deeper depths than scuba diving.
