Ok, so this is my first season spearfishing in the UK and so far all my hunting has been done from the surface in shallow water. Its accounted for lots of fish but im beginning to realise that i need depth. The water nearshore is so disturbed by waves and wind that i need to get out a little further and that means holding my breath.
Basically im fit and healthy good resting heatrate and recovery rates but i simply cant hold my breath. A good dry static time for me is 1:15-1:20 which is reduced to 30-45secs in the water hence my not attempting to try any diving.
I could do with being able to achieve 6-8m depth with a bottom time of 60-90secs. How long does my dry static need to be in order to achieve this and what are the best ways to start building up my co2 tollerance and inhibiting the breath reflex?
This is my off season winter mission, so any suggestions/tips are welcome.
