Where it sits in the data
Freedive & Apnea Trainer's $1.8K MRR is higher than 81% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Health & Fitness” category (505 projects) it is higher than 88% (category median $96). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, the buyer would be people interested in freediving, spearfishing, surfing, or wellbeing who want structured breath-hold training. Distribution would need to come through mobile app stores, search, instructors, and communities around the relevant sports, with a clear path from content to downloads.
In my view, the harder parts are product design, safe training content, personalization, technical maintenance, user support, and handling questions around health and safety. A competing product would need to earn attention in a crowded health and fitness market, while instructor or coaching connections would add coordination work.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
The product pairs structured breathing tables with guided workouts, tests, feedback-based adaptation, and personalized plans. It also connects training users with instructor or elite-freediver mentorships and a named coaching-session booking path.
