Hi Speareasy,
65 m dragging a gun, the first time you're in the pool is quite good, but not the kind of practice that hones spearfishing skills or dive time while spearing. I'd suggest pool practice that mimics a real dive. For example, swim 25 slowly, pause for x seconds, swim back. Great practice for real diving. You can push your limits with a buddy and get the feel of what that's like. Another pattern, submerge and static on the bottom until the first urge to breath, say 1 minute, then swim slowly until you feel the need to come up. 50 meters, is not unreasonable. Also great practice. Obviously that one needs a buddy too. Lots of other patterns, come up with your own that fits the type of diving you do.
