Thanks guys - all useful.

Mattias - 7C is balmy hot, it is more like 3-4 at the moment!

Seb - I totally agree on the flexibility issue - in judging myself and in judging others - I have totally come to think that the good freedivers are the ones who can dive even when their warm up doesn't work out, they are not wearing their lucky shorts, they don't get to do exactly the right amount of ins and out breaths etc.... I know when I started everything always had to be perfect, a few years later and I'm a lot more flexible at dealing what comes along once in the water (and before)

I still can't just get straight in and hit 40m though!
