Re: Music whilst freediving?

its fairly personal in terms of what songs.

for example with sandstorm, the muic starts to drop at about 1:30, at which point i say "wow i still dont feel like i need air" (usualy i would at this point) which gives me the confidence to keep going. the hardest part of my breath hold is generaly 2:15 to 2:45 when the urge rises, after which i get a bit used to it. in just that part the music is very strong. so once what works for you varies when you get contractions, your mental "tough spots" and whether your using hte acid method or the basic method.

look through some songs that you have already associated to freediving (for example song that you may have listened to alot when on DB that remind you of freediving)

by the way, until you get an underwater mp3 player dont use a single song much, it happens to dissassociate from freediving and more to boredom, and doesnt help. whichever song your using listen to when actualy swimming and only use it for dry statics occassionaly.

good luck, Matt
