Re: Advise on spearfishing alone

That's a great story. but you said it yourself, you were pushing your limits. I've been to the Ginnie Springs, I know that getting to the caves is not an easy task. and I really command you for it....

Re: I have a question about the Mammalian Dive Reflex.

That's very interesting. I've never heard that there is an increased chance, but it does make sense to a certain extent. That certain extent being psychological.

Re: I have a question about the Mammalian Dive Reflex.

I've been put to sleep with Gi chokes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, with a lapel choke which cuts off blood circulation. I was breathing just fine until I just passed out. I remember being able to see the...

How can you tell the visibility of the water ?

Can any one source me some educational information regarding being able to identify the visibility of the water?
If it's choppy, will the water have any visibility 10-20' deep ?
I have no idea...

Re: How to equalize hands free?

I've only done shore free dives but I've come to find that if I clench my teeth together as if though I'm clenching my jaw, and then I swallow, my ears tend to equalize.

Re: I have a question about the Mammalian Dive Reflex.

How do I know what my limit is ? Should I time myself ? Is there a rule of thumb on how much longer after the diaphragm contractions I can hold my breath?

Thanks for that information by the way.

Re: 3D Printed Speargun - Feedback
