I pretty much know he knows a lot of good freedivers though ;-)

If you can find a gym with a pool too you can get the best of all worlds.

Its like saying have you ever met a marathon runner that doesn't run. If you have time to spare the gym will help a bit but get out diving is the way forward. Just train technique in a pool then when you have good safety cover go for a push.

I have heard a rumour of a top freediver doing a lot of apnea cycling. But to be fair they dive whenever they can too.
