Substantially improve exhale (FRC) diving skills and performance
Diving exhale to 90 ft comfortably
Comfortable 2 minute repetitive dives in open water of at least 70 ft average.
Figure out how best to use a heart monitor as a training tool

STA 6:15 in competition. (current 5:38 wet and 6:05 dry)
DYN 125+ in competition (current 100)
DNF 90+ (78)
CWT 40 (33) (35 in fim)
get my 3* certification
learn the mouth fill technique and execute it in a nice dive.
And if I do both of the top ones soon enough, I'll make a good chance to be on the dutch national team for the worlds in Denmark. That would be fun.

I really just fell apart and I havent been training at all for some time. I am looking to get back into it and be ready for a great summer of diving. before july I want to atleast hit 75m dnf
Static 3min current 1:50....i know its low but i cant seem to improve
and i dont know what DYN and CWT and the others are.
Dynamic is how far you can swim horizontally on one breath. Dnf Is dynamic without fins. CWT is constant weight which is how deep you can dive under your own power on the way down and back up.
as long as the last 2 months have been no-training period, my goal is: just a bit of TRAINING....
well, i'm about to set up my own freediving school, and attending the kids instructor course in october, these are primary goals
as for PBs goals:
6 min statics, 150 dyn, and 100 dnf
not intending to think about open water performances, as it would be a miracle to even touch it this year....

To hold my breath when I need to,
To carry on breathing the rest of the time
To stave off my first heart attack for another year.
Oh and to help Madam Sands with one of her goals, bet you can’t guess which one??:chatup

Being a newbie to freediving my goals are low in comparison:
i set 3 min's static as a goal on New year - i acheived it today (3:15) !! my new goal is 4 min's once i learn and train a bit more...
I'd like to do some deeper dives (over 10m!) if i can find a dive buddy...
gotta start somewhere!

I want to go the the bottom of both my local springs, swim across Vortex on one breath by Halloween, learn to swim with a monofin, spear at least one flounder, and do some "hydro touring".
well once i'm back to normal again:
Static: 5m+
DYN: 100m
DNF: 80m
CW: 45m+ (50 really but not sure if i'll get enough ocean time with safety divers)
CW FRC: 30m
CNF: 30m
Give Free imersion a thrash (looks like fun!)
Gain my FDI instructors certification and spend time with my Girlfriend teaching her to dive.
WOW thats bit of a list i guess i better make sure i keep my job in the Dive industry as well.
