A little rhetoric cool down might be a good idea. If new guys feel like they have been beat over the head, it doesn't help much. The technique works; I've used it with great results. but not alone. For the vast majority of new divers, it would be very effective as long as it was not overdone. That's the rub. Overdo it, especially without a trained buddy, and it can kill you. Futhermore, for some divers, and we don't know who until its too late, its real easy to overdo it. So, try the technique, but get a trained buddy first. If you don't know what a trained buddy is, use the "search" function, research the subject and practice rescues with a buddy. As soon as you can, find some expert advice, a freediving couse or freediving club where you can learn even better safety and lots of other stuff.
Benbala66, a good answer to your question isn't possible without some idea of your skill level. Post some details in this thread or in your profile; you will get better answers.
