I now only train in a pool, so I do not have much choice of using gear anyway, but still what attracts me the most on freediving is that you really do not need anything beside swimsuit (in the more conservative countries ;o) Why spoil it with all that heavy stuff...
last week i tested myself how deep i can go ,
it was -15m last point, i remember my eyes at surface 1-1.30 min burned when i return , i mean felt salt in my eyes, i opened my eyes all the time till deep , looking was buliring and deep was so cold , i felt it..no mask-no weight-no suit..
the trick is to use your two leg weights , and need to dive 90 degree,, that' s all and i can say taht ear equaliaztion more easy without mask, cos' mask makes vaucum effecet when diving and all the time need a very very little air blow from noise before send air to e-tube , but to see is imposible at deep
i do it every year a few times, last year done -9m, this year i jumped -15m ,
Sory not -15 , -14.6m

Re: Totally FREEdiving - no weights, no wetsuit, no fins...

To my knowledge the record for natural apnea (no suit, no mask, no fins), is -80m by Sebastien Murat using the FRC method which doesn't require weights.

you right,water pressure in nose and sinuses makes unhappy

meanwhile, i find out it is the best way full clean up all sinuses ..dive to -4m (no mask)and stay there 30 sec, do it 3-4 times will you take off to out...

Come again, the FRC method? (I'm a bit behind in the lingo.)

80 meters!!! Did the brother go 'unashamed'?

Re: Totally FREEdiving - no weights, no wetsuit, no fins...

FRC = Diving with less air in your lungs. You take a breath and relax, what air stays in the lungs you dive with.
Not only does it give you a better diveresponse - you also sink without weights and therefore you just have to swim on your way up.

Sebastian Murat is the master of FRC, his courses are really really interesting. I never attended to one myself but i certainly will!
