Re: Constant With No Warm Up

Interesting, for me the warm up dives are more of a confidence and self check thing, ie. make sure the ears are equalising, nothing's wrong with equipment, that the head is in the right place and to get comfortable in the water (inducing the DR). I wouldn't feel confident enough to just jump in and go for a max, even if I had done some dry warm ups.

I know and understand that the no warm up approach does invoke more of a survival response which is probably stronger than a dive response but I am diving within my limits and doing this I can still subscribe to the relaxation school of thought.

Cheers,
Ben
