Hay guys,

I have been playing around with depth tables recently and they have really helped me progress in my cnf.
I have been doing 5 x 20m dives with 1 minute breath up in between, i assumed this ratio would be fine because i and every other AIDA instructor has done it before with cwt.
But now they are feeling easier, and also i would like to use them to train CWT and FI, but for it to be worth while i need to make them harder.
Ideally i would like to make the dives deeper or do more repetitions, but then i need to consider the increased risks of DCS, the safest way to make the dives harder would be to do statics before or after each dive, but i would much rather increase depth/reps.
So the question is who out there has any experience with depth tables or knows of any guidelines for avoiding DCS.

Cheers
 
You might be better off keeping the tables to the pool and doing hangs at 20m instead of repetitive dives.
 
The 20m dives take 1.00.
I would rather to do the table cwt because it is great training for getting into the freefall using as little energy as possible. developing an efficient stroke and relaxation. Its just not the same in a pool as there is no positive - negative buoyancy change, and becoming sensitive to that change is a great way to save O2.
Plus i have the opposite problem to most freedivers, i only have depth and no pool.
