Hi everybody! Just started freediving in Brighton, UK and am really enjoying it! I was just wondering if someone could answer a quick question.... I was wondering how much it was possible to increase your first breathold by with a bit of training? Would it be feasible, for example, to double it? I went along for the first time a couple of weeks ago and managed four minutes, which i was told was pretty good for a first go. I've been doing a bit of reading since and if i could double that i reckon i'd be doing alright. So does anyone think that's realistic? Cheers.

H iI2434, Welcome. Better late than never!
I see you got some answers to your original question on the other thread you started. As you discovered, the freediving area of the forum is the place to ask such questions. 4 minutes sounds excellent to me, incredible for a first try. Hopefully you are aware of the dangers of Shallow Water Blackout and take suitable precautions [see the freediving area for more info.].
There are several breath-hold spear fishermen ("spearos") active in and around Brighton. I think they started their own thread last year. No doubt plenty of other freedivers too.
