Imagine seeing large, colorful fish swimming 6 meters below the surface while snorkeling at sea. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to dive deeply with one big breath and take incredible pictures for your friends at home? The Apnea Trainer makes it possible! By using it to train three times a week, you can quickly double your underwater time.
This is the same training principle used by apnea divers. It’s based on a yoga technique which strengthens the diaphragm muscles allowing you to fill your lungs with more oxygen and releasing more carbon dioxide while exhaling. The system is relatively simple and depends on finding the right time intervals which are provided by the program, thus letting you relax and concentrate on your breathing. This will guarantee maximum training success.
The program will also come in handy just before the actual dive since a pranayama mode is already included. The Apnea Trainer will help you keep your whole body calm and give you the perfect preparation for those amazing, long-lasting dives.
Features:
+ Training to improve free diving time
+ Pranayama mode to calm your body before diving or snorkeling
+ Custom time settings for pro divers
+ Optical and Audio instructions
+ Easy to use interface

Excellent
Super dude #1
Great app! My only complaint is for the reminders, it only shows up on the lock screen, NOT the app itself.
Huge improvement !

I started this app two weeks ago and have been doing 4 sessions a week with 10 min sessions . I started at 1:45 and I am now at 3:07 !!! Never thought I'd be able to do that. Thank you!
There is space for improvement !!!

Good app, O2 & CO2 tables would be nice in future update (very important for apnea training) and some minimalistic iOS8 redesign : )

So I started at one minute with comfort but after 14 apnea breath ups I went to 1.5 minutes like it was nothing! The important thing is to do a breath up BEFORE holding which I think a lot of negative reviewers forgot about. There's also three types one for apnea one for prior the breath hold and another called "pro" I don't really understand. You also get an autograph for the stop watch. For three bucks you get a coach to count you through the holds and a graph that's mostly automatic. Not bad. This is a basic app, but worth the money. I hope to see future updates to better define the purpose of each exercise or better frame the students goals. Without outside reading it's hard to know how you should be goal setting .
Could be better

Not bad it has some basic training methods and will keep track of your breath hold on a chart. Things that could be added would be a negative breath hold tracker, some more info on goal setting and how depth affects breath hold could be helpful. Overall not worth the money.
Best freediving app!

This app more then doubled my dive time in just a couple months! I just did a trip to Maui and I owe all of the great shots I got to Apnea Trainer! The fish don't come to you, so you need to go to them! And great job with the new update guys! Now I'll be able to use my iPhone underwater housing with this app! :)
