I confirmed starting my freediving course with Steve (Apneaboy) last night.

I am really looking forward to it, we are doing the freediver** and it look's like there is alot to learn even coming from a scuba diving background.

I can't wait!
 
Enjoy Ryan. There's a few things that you won't have to learn if you come from Scuba, plenty to learn and a few things to unlearn lol let us know how you find it

I am sure there is things to unlearn too as you said, seems like coming from scuba helps and does not at the same time!

I will keep everyone updated with how it goes. I start on the 11th of May
 
I did my 2* course with apneaboy last year, it was great. Lots of fun and learnt a lot. Started my 3* course with him too :)

Hope you enjoy it mate! Might see you at a freediving session some time if you decide to carry it on, which I'm sure you will ;)
 
Started my prep a few days ago for the freediving course, I could hold my breath for 2:30 and after doing some things Steve had suggested and building on it each time I have just done a 3:20 hold. Massive difference when my contractions kick in remaining calm.
 
Congrats Ryan :) are you doing tables?

Yep, been using an iphone app for my tables its easier! called breath hold by 7zillion.com
 
Good to meet you and Kirk last night, I'm looking forward to the rest of the course too! (Dave)

Nice website by the way
 
Oh! Hello Dave

It was good to meet you too, can't wait for the static pool training.

See you next wednesday.

And Cheers!
 
Managed a 3:50 Static hold last night I am finding relaxing more during contractions seems to be what I need to focus on more.
