Hello from a newbie

ingo63 · #1 April 1st, 2003

Hello all,
My name is Ingo and I'm new to this forum.
Really interested in freediving, although with a personal best of 1 min, 11 seconds I feel a bit embarassed about it.
Maybe someone could direct me to a forum or thread, to help develop my breath-holding technique ?
Look forward to meeting you,
thanks
Ingo.

This forum has a lot of information on improving your statics. This page alone has at least two threads on statics. Page 4 has a thread entitled 'Best Preparation for Static" which should have some helpful info.

Welcome to DeeperBlue.

Thanks BatRay,
I look forward to reading and learning what looks like a huge amount of information before I even think about going back into the water. I never realised there was so much "lingo" .
Thanks again BatRay
Ingo.

Been spearfishing for a while, but really a newbie at heart as well when it comes to freediving.

Here's a document from Adrian that should help you out with all that lingo:
Click on this link, then look at the last post - should be a doc file.

Enjoy & don't feel overwhelmed, it'll all come to you in due time!

That's the perfect start for me, thank you.
I appreciate it,
Ingo.
