Advice on spearfishing alone
So I've recently picked up spearfishing/freediving and absolutely love it. But I've been unable to find a buddy that can go as much as i do or who is at the same level. I volunteer at an aquarium and many of the experienced spearfishing guys say it's ok as long as I don't push it beyond my limit. As a result, I've been going alone.
I dive to a max depth of 30ft for about 45 seconds. I never hyperventilate and keep a surface time double of my dive time. With all the information out there about blackouts, I am curious as to how many of you dive alone and what can be done to prevent blacking outs when diving alone? I looked into the freediving courses and although i would like to go, it is a bit pricey for me at the moment. Any input is welcomed. Thanks. |
