When I do statics, which is rarely, I do it in a shallow pool. Ill be with a friend, and Ill go down to 10 feet or however deep the pool is and stay there for 2-3 min. This is really good for me, and Ive been spearing for 12 years. I dont know how old you are, but a lot of your breath hold capacity will develop with age. If you are just going to be spearing from shore and stuff, the best way to progress is just going out and diving/spearing. Dive and just enjoy the fish, before you know it, youll be down there better and longer. I suck at static, its too boring, but when Im on the bottom, you can get into "the zone" easier. Just make sure you are with a buddy.
