Hi to all the spearos in the whole word. My name is Deon, 51y young and plan to dive till at least 80. The more I read on this forum the more I realize how little I actually know about this sport after 30y in the water. I am definitely going very soon for a freedivers course. You guys have queries on 30/40m dives. Hell, my limit is 12m although my PB for a static breathhold is 4m16s. I think I'm doing something seriously wrong.:confused:
 
Welcome from Texas! Sounds like you need some mentoring on going deeper with that great breath hold. Try some light weights.

All best

Thanks agbiv for the tip, but I don,t understand, I'm weighting 88, use 10kg weights because my belt ca'nt take more. With less weights won,t it take more energy to go deeper?
 
A lot depends on your technique as you head down from the surface. Also your fin size and use.
 
OK, thanks for your advice and time, I have booked myself with Linda Paganelli. She will be back in Dec and then I will be taught the correct ways of freediving. I promise you will be the first guy to know what I have learned during her beginners course. In the meantime, good hunting and safe diving.
