Hello everyone!
I am new to freediving (and this forum.)
I am very keen to freedive and have been practicing static apnea for past 6 months. I have tried to join a freediving course/club, but because of my epilepsy (although very well controlled, last fit was 4 years ago) the club or trainer seem unsure and tell me they dont want to risk it. My doctor is the same. Has no knowledge therefor does not want anything to do with it.
It seems like im at a dead end.
I just want to learn to freedive with others!
So, im basically asking...Is there any way i can dive? Does anyone out there dive with epilepsy or know people with experience or have knowledge on health issues such as this?
Any info would be so helpful.
Much appreciated,
A keen learner,
Phil
