Okay, I've never been in water where I've had a chance to drop deeper than 45'. I have just moved though and now need to be able to make drops to ~110' or so. I've done no training but practice static breath holds in bed and have hit 4 min. but can always make 3 after warming up.
I also just took the freediving fins to underwater hockey and swam 75m w/out pushing myself too hard. I kicked at around 50% speed I would guess. Is it easier to go deep w/ negative bouyance or easier in the pool w/out having to equalize (plus psycological)?
So what's the optimal kick rate (long and slow but...) or whats the optimal usage of O2. Is there an amount of time that it should take me to do each 25m length?
I also think my breathing may not be optimal.
My question is what safe depth can/should I attempt w/ these numbers. Also what surface interval must be obtained to keep from saturating the body w/ CO2?
