Hi,

Especially as in far north Europe the open water season is so short, we need to spent half of the year diving in pools, and eventually it may get booring to count the tiles of the pool back and forth. I wanted to share some other ideas what you could also do while spending hours training freediving in pool. What other gear you can bring with to training sessions. Not every diving day needs to be same DYN, DNF, static, sometimes just have some fun in (in safety in mind) in pool too :)

Creating illusions.. "Walking on the water":
Winter sports:
Simulating free immersion, blowing air rings, concentration crawling:
Walking with hands, space walk, pushups or even juggling

Stay innovative in nice 3D environment, I'll do too :)
 
Hello free diving fin, I did spearfishing in jamaica for years. I mostly dive at nights because I find it easier to shoot these fish. However I recently gotten in to trying to hold my breath for 5 min. Currently I can only go 1 min. Any tip? I am now living in Orlando so I am going to have to try day diving so I know I am going to have to hold my breath longer.
 
Thx for the comments. Creg, there are a lot of breath hold related tips, guides and threads in https://forums.deeperblue.com/forums/static-dynamic.104/ section in here, so I don't start another one in here. So waiting myself too to get spearfishing again.. 4 months break from fishing is long time to wait ice melt from the lakes' surface. I just wanted to post my videos here for those who like to try something else in pool, not to get too bored with while doing basic free diving training. If any have other alternative training tips in pool than normal DYN, DNF, static.. just link it here, would like also to try out.
