Ocean Free Diving Brings Calm & Confidence to NJ Respiratory Therapist Training for Competition

Sandra Levine Season 1 Episode 41

When you think about techniques to reduce stress, holding your breath underwater may not immediately come to mind. But with proper training, free diving can provide both physical and mental health benefits, similar to meditation practices and yoga.

Brandon Cadalzo, who grew up snorkeling and scuba diving at the New Jersey Shore, found free diving helped him deal with the trauma of working as a respiratory therapist during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Today, Cadalzo is training for an upcoming free diving competition in Dominica, and he also is studying to become an instructor, to teach others about the therapeutic benefits of spending time underwater.
