At some point, someone discovered that if they hyperventilate before a dive, they wouldn’t feel the need to breathe for quite some time, seemingly making the dive easier and allowing them to carry out their underwater mission. This gave the practicing divers a pretty strong reason to find a way to overcome the need to breathe. In the past, when freediving was purely a method of fishing or gathering, this limitation would have had direct financial and survival implications to those using it. When people started to try and plumb the depths of the oceans on a single breath they were confronted, rather quickly, with the desire to breathe, thereby curtailing their efforts and rendering their dives shallower than they may have wanted.
