This category includes safety accessories dedicated to \u003cstrong\u003efreediving\u003c\/strong\u003e: the Mares \u003cstrong\u003elanyard with quick release\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003elanyard is mandatory equipment\u003c\/strong\u003e during recognized freediving competitions and is strongly recommended in all courses and open-water training sessions. Its main function is to \u003cstrong\u003eensure that the freediver remains attached to the descent line\u003c\/strong\u003e in the event of deep-water blackout or loss of control, allowing the safety team to locate and recover the athlete quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypes of safety accessories available\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe available model is the \u003cstrong\u003eMares Freediving Lanyard with Quick Release\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring a braided steel cable with yellow PVC coating, 100 cm length, wrist strap with quick-release system, stainless steel carabiner, and two swivel joints at the ends. The yellow color of the cable meets a technical\/regulatory requirement: visibility in the water, allowing safety divers to immediately identify the athlete’s position. The swivel joints, positioned at both ends of the cable, prevent it from twisting around itself during descent and ascent, helping avoid any potential interference with movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose safety accessories for freediving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing safety accessories starts with identifying the intended use: competition, course, or independent training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those practicing \u003cstrong\u003ecompetitive freediving\u003c\/strong\u003e in dynamic and depth disciplines (CWT, CNF, FIM), the \u003cstrong\u003elanyard is required by regulations\u003c\/strong\u003e. In this context, a model with quick release is the most suitable technical choice: the system allows the safety diver to free the freediver from the line quickly in an emergency, without having to get close to the wrist strap or manipulate the closure under stress. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those diving in \u003cstrong\u003eopen water during training or federation courses\u003c\/strong\u003e, the lanyard is strongly recommended for all line dives beyond 12 meters. Italian federation regulations (FIPSAS-DS) require the use of a lanyard even in poor visibility, regardless of depth. In these contexts, combining the cable with a signaling light provides a more complete safety setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne factor to consider is the \u003cstrong\u003ewearing point\u003c\/strong\u003e: in constant weight with fins (CWT) descents, the lanyard is worn on the wrist; in free immersion without fins (FIM), it is worn on the ankle; in constant weight without fins (CNF), it is worn on the belt. The available model is compatible with all three methods of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and technical features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebraided steel cable with PVC coating\u003c\/strong\u003e combines mechanical strength and flexibility. The braided stainless steel maintains high holding strength even under tension, while the yellow PVC coating protects the metal from the marine environment and ensures visibility in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e360° swivel joints\u003c\/strong\u003e are technical connection components positioned between the cable and the wrist strap on one side, and between the cable and the carabiner on the other. Their function is to allow the system to rotate freely in both directions, eliminating the torsion that naturally builds up as the freediver’s body rotates in the water. A twisted cable can create resistance to movement and, in more serious cases, interfere with an emergency recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003equick-release system on the wrist strap\u003c\/strong\u003e allows the cable to be released from the wrist with a single, direct action, even while wearing gloves or under pressure. This feature is critical during emergency procedures, where release speed is essential to the athlete’s safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e100 cm length\u003c\/strong\u003e is the standard used in international competitions and in the teaching protocols of the main federations: a size that provides sufficient freedom of movement along the line without creating excessive bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePractical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring an open-water training session or competition, the \u003cstrong\u003elanyard is prepared before the descent\u003c\/strong\u003e and worn at the correct point according to the discipline practiced. The wrist strap is fastened around the wrist or ankle with enough tension to ensure a secure hold without restricting circulation. Before the descent, the carabiner is clipped to the descent line: from that moment, the freediver can descend while maintaining a physical connection to the guide line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the descent, the cable slides along the line following the freediver’s movement. At the surface, the safety diver always has visual contact with the yellow cable and can intervene immediately if needed. In an emergency, the quick release allows both the athlete and the safety diver to free the system in just a few seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn federation freediving courses, using the lanyard is an integral part of the teaching curriculum starting from the basic levels. Learning how to wear it correctly, manage the carabiner along the line, and perform the quick release efficiently are skills developed in the pool before being applied in open water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable brands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMares\u003c\/strong\u003e is the brand offering the Freediving Lanyard with Quick Release in this category.
