G'day everyone....i'm the new kid

[Beno.]

Hello all,

My name is Ben and i am relatively new to freediving but i tell you what...I LOVE IT! I'm not very good (yet) but i am practising all the time and plan to take my recreational freediving as far as i possibly can. Any advice, tips, or wisdom to help me on my way would be greatly appreciated.

Look forward to meeting and hearing from you all.

Ben.

Welcome to DB, Ben!
You'll have loads of fun and - most likely - all the info You'll need here. On diving, that is

For Your training, just to make sure, here's how to start freediving. This thing got me going. (from nothing to a static PB of 3:30 within two months.) heheh
Once You're through that, check out freediving training and techniques to refine whatever You're doing. This should give You plenty to do.

You're from somewhere very southern (from a germany point of view), right?

Welcome to db BEN!
As you may have already noticed here you can find alot of info and suggestions. Use the search mode to find what you need, or ask directly to the forum. People are really cool and friendly.. I am just new as you in DB, but already had lots of advices (and kind warning ..). Try editing your profile so everybody can have a little more info about you. ciao, Matteo.

Sanso, I don't know why but your link to "how to start freediving" didn't work for me, so I am pasting it again down here for Beno and anyone else interested. Your other link about training and techniques doesnt work either. And, by the way, welcome Beno! Cheers.

G'day Ben, always great to see another aussie freediving Ben (there's 3 of us that I know of).

Where abouts do you live? I'm in London so i'm not much help, but if you go to Australian Freediving Community - Fanatical about Freediving in Australia you might be able to find a dive buddy in your area. There's a couple of top freedivers in Sydney and Brisbane, but our best freediver lives in Canberra of all places!

Anyway mate, hope you hook up with someone.

Cheers,
Ben

Yeah thanx BennyB, i will look into finding some local freedivers that i can dive with. And I am really glad to see a few other Aussie blokes around to chat to! :friday!

Well it was great to meet you. I will let you know how the buddy thing goes.

Thanxs for your help.

Cheers

Ben.
