Hi anderson, here's my 2 bits. Forgive me if you've seen this, but here's what I always do.
When I'm getting my suit on, etc, I will do 2 or 3 breatholds to 10 contractions, all the while getting my head into the moment and moving very slowly.
Once in the water, I will do 2 negative dives to 5 to 8 metres. Negative dives always kick my dive reflex in right away, instead of waiting for 10 regular dives. In cold water I have found this important, as 10 dives is easily 45 minutes in the water, at which point I might start to get cold if it's really cold.
Godd fishing,
Erik Y.
