Since we're all good friends here, I'll show you a video of my own sweet daughter doing her very first freedive. She was 18 at the time, and her training to that point consisted of a 10-minute lecture from me in the car on the way from Sunset House to Turtle Reef (Grand Cayman) and a couple of hours watching me and two other people diving. She hit the bottom on her first dive - it startled her - at 49 feet/15m with no effort at all.
She pretty much lost interest in freediving at that point. Couldn't understand what all the fuss is about. Now she plays polo, jumps out of perfectly good airplanes and crashes down rapids in remotest Maine.
