Re: I'm learning to Freedive
This guy is not serious. He's pulling our legs and he knows it. I'm done. Peace, Errol

Re: I'm learning to Freedive
Wow i cant believe i just wasted my time reading/deciphering all of this guys BS. There is a lot of good info in this thread and its pretty clear this kid knows more then everyone else does. Damn, I wish i was young enough to know everything. I just really hope we dont read about a dead crab diver who knew too much....

Re: I'm learning to Freedive
There is no way that english is this persons first language, maybe they simply can't understand what you are telling them. Safety first always, is the way you should dive. I honestly couldn't care less about you but you will be in distress eventually and I wouldn't want someone trying to come to your aid and you taking them with you.

Re: I'm learning to Freedive
After a day on water just boating crabbing and secluded beach crab cook out got in late. Got up went got my crab and then hit the pool.
Started right out by putting on weight belt and plunging down in deep end and walking, then push off to the surface, after 20 mins, I switched to running and I slipped mostly. So it got me thinking as I am putting in buoy for practice deep dives, I will also add two shallow buoy's with a line in between that I can pull on. The indians are just gonna love me, thinking Im out harvesting in there area, and see there dive buoy's, and yes they will more than likely cut them loose. This would be great to kick and pull to build that first kick down up and to pull down the line also. I did find in my first dives in salt water that a few kicks Then just sink with arms in front then I actually went a few feet horizontal then kick to get crab, and pop to the surface. Of course now it is time to move on to doing deeper dives and breath holding in pool training. Bill I agree with you, to waste your time on telling me dive with a buddy, take a class, obviously it is not going to happen. Put more of your energy in telling me how to Free dive, I simply will explain what I am doing, I had one post tell me I was wrong and what reason, dont let your air out. If you instructors and freedivers are so great tell me your way of acheiving free diving techniques, or dont waste your time.

Re: I'm learning to Freedive
Now you want a course for free. Be safe, don't stay past your first contraction. Stay out of the deep water. There is your advice!! I hope I don't have to give you a R.I.P.

Re: I'm learning to Freedive
you think you are going to learn the right way to do things by bits and pieces of information? you are going to f^$k around and surface on one of your ocean training days. with the feeling of your body shaking and sipping on air, thinking "dam i should have listened" right before you black out and slip under the surface.. partial information will only get you hurt.. hey good luck to you it will be a pain free way to die... make sure your insurance is paid up so your family can have something to show for it..

Re: I'm learning to Freedive

So here is a pretty good sum up for a new freediver. I already thought just going and do it would be best way, and it mentions time in the pool, although I scuba dive every day just about I agree the pool is more for training for free diving. Since sun in not out so far today I shall go put buoy's out and then get my afternoon pool time in. I am not timing my self on breath hold much, I'll wait till Im better. I like the breath hold exercises in the link above.

Re: I'm learning to Freedive
Freedive instructors are not going to tell you their techniques. That's the point of the class! Plus, even with these techniques you can still black out, they show you how to dive safer but you still need a buddy watching you. My advice to you if you don't want to take a class is at least have a friend watch you, I can show you some revive techniques if you want.
