Paddy, Let me see if I can explain why Trux is so fired up, without beating you over the head. What you are doing has worked fine for you so far, but it is still dangerous to do it alone. I understand that it doesn't look like that to you, but trust us on this, its a fact. Even more important, it can be Extremely dangerous for somebody else and we have no way of knowing who that might be. Here's some of why. Some people naturally have better c02 tolerance than others and/or are more hard headed or reckless. Some of them can fairly easily push themselves to black out, even early in their freedive career and without realizing that they are pushing. Furthermore lots of other divers may BO early and without warning under some circumstances. If you advise someone else to follow your lead on something like this on an open forum where anybody of any skill level can read it, you can be pretty sure that somebody, somewhere will misinterpret what you mean, or overdo it, or have real low tolerence,or, etc. People really can get killed following your lead. That is why you see over and over again, the matra, "dive with a buddy, dive with a buddy."
Enjoy
Connor
