Question First hello
permalink
Hi to everyone
I am 41 year old and I am an "old" swimer but all my life enjoy in spearfishing and freediving. From this year I practice for about 3 times in week swiming, dinamic and static. I started recreationaly but as my results grow I asking myself if I am too old for competition (of course I would do medical exam and beside that I take very small medicament for high presure???)
When I said competition I meant on STA,DNF and DYF disciplines and I think that I' ll never try in CW because I don't want to waste all my enjoy in one deep dive.
Am I wrong??? Thank for all your answers

Hi medeno5, welcome aboard!

I don't think you are too old for competition, there are many people older than you who get very good results.

It's worth trying CW, maybe you'll enjoy it.

41? Old? Balony!! I was a spearo before you were born and keep diving deeper and longer than ever before. Of Course you aren't too old. Bill's 65(66?) and does in excess of 60 meters free immersion. OK, so it hurts a little more than it did at 25 and takes better technique, its still a lot better than the alternative.


Hows that for an old farts rant.

Almost forgot, Welcome to the forum. Glad to have some more "well seasoned" divers. You will find stuff here that will do amazing things for your diving. Have fun.

Connor

Re: First hello

Thanks for nice words,
when I said that I'll never try CW it's only because I am one month in summer on sea and when I adapt I have to come back . I am spearfishing about 15-20 meters deep but never try to go deeper because I can't in my dives find a friend (I have a friends but not for serious freediving) with trust. When I dive on 20 meter he spearo fishes in shalow water
My PB STA 4'35'' DNF60m and DYF80m. For me I am satisfied, enjoy and don't look too much on results. By the way competition is in February so I have time to prepare
Bye to everyone

Hi, welcome to DB!

I encourage you to participate on competitions, they have very special atmosphere!
You are of course welcome to our competition also (MAN III, late March), freedivers from SCG were competiting on our previous competition, so you would not be the only one from your country.

Hi, MAN III is the III. Hungarian Apnea Day (III. Magyar Apnea Nap). It will be in Budapest at the end of March, disciplines will be DNF, STA and DYF. We would like to make it the way, the Slovenian organization do: first evening DNF, the next day: STA and then DYF. It will be on the weekend, still we don't have exact date.
