Pete,

Thank you very much. Much of this is exactly what I needed. Your comments on cross training, co2 tables and negatives either match my experience or/and make a lot of sense. I'll be doing more anaerobic reps, starting tomorrow and trying to figure out how to adapt the rest of this to my situation.

I'm still stuck with the "can't get enough real diving" syndrome and don't see any way to apply your advice on frequent FRC diving. What little I've done is way to good to abandon the idea, so, for now, I'll be trying to adapt negatives to simulating real diving. Here is my question. If diving in the pool with enough exhale to feel the same as FRC in 10 or more meters, doing it 3-4 days a week for say 20 minutes for months (years), adjusting the "descent" time to match real diving and extending the dive time to approximate real diving, why could not this be a reasonable simulation of FRC diving? If not, could it be made so?
