Hi depthseeker, welcome to DB.

You will find a weath of info here. Learn to use the search function (top of page), check out the Beginner freediving section. Read a bunch, experiment with what you learn, the ask some more questions. Three minutes plus is a great begining.

I'm a competitive freediver with over 20 years of freediving spearfishing experience in the Caribbean, Bahamas and Florida. I highly recommend that you use a respiratory trainer as part of your land based training. Use it on a regular basis, and I guarantee you will increase breath hold time by 20% or better. The most widely used by South Florida divers is the Expand-A-Lung which goes for under $30 in all the dive local dive shops that cater to freedivers.
Tip: Do a set on the boat, right before you enter the water.
