Hi,
I'm not sure if this is going to answer any or all or your questions or if others will agree with what I say, but I'm forming the opinion that many of the freedive accidents occur because of partial states of dissociation. By this I mean loosing contact with the body or pushing onself as if from outside of our bodies. Our bodies give us incredible abilities under water, such as the dive reflex, and it appears to many that we are evolved for life in the water as well as land. By staying in touch with this ancient resource we are able to safely accomplish astonishing things. It strikes me that often divers push themselves to do what they think they should be able to accomplish or want to accomplish without staying in their bodies and listening to the ancient wisdoms. What I'm suggesting is associative diving is safer in the long run and is based on staying comfortable in your dive. Progress will be based on gradual advancement of your existing capabilities. To dive better, dive more often. Have fun and stay in touch with what you get from within.
My 2Cs,
