I don't get to the ocean regularly, and have been trying to simulate what a dive will require while still in the pool.
Simulation of clearing and compression seems pretty easy. Full exhale and reverse pack, then clear to the bottom of a 4 m pool should be equal to more than 50 meters. How to mimic the distance and effort pattern of a dive is less clear. Here is what I have been doing.
45 meter dive: surface dive and kick 20 meters, glide and/or hang for 25 seconds (1 m/s free fall), kick 45 meters.
Has anyone tried anything like this? Clearing and psychological issues aside, does this realy mimic a 40 m dive? How might I modify it to come closer to what a real dive will require.
Thanks
Connor
